Turn Your Sound UP Baby!

Do You Want To Fast Track Your Fitness & Body Change Goals?

If you answer yes, then Urban Energy Personal Training is for you!

I often get asked what do we do with people to help them achieve their goals. My answer typically is that, well… personal training is exactly that – personal training. Everybody is different and has individual needs and goals.  

We use tested and proven methods of achieving results to help you acheive your goals. As a team of  high class trainers we have worked with literally thousands of individuals.  

What we do differently to other trainers and gyms, is we use our Unique Fusion Method of training to achieve unrivalled results in fat loss, fitness and core strength. It doesn’t matter what level of fitness you are at. Fusion Training is the best from of training for everyday people through to athletes hands down.  

Fusion Training is a unique combination of special resistance and even body weight exercises combined with multi muscle and multi movement exercises. It still incorporates traditional proven methods of weight loss and fitness training such as walking, jogging, cycling, spinning, rowing etc, but it is done in a way that combines these with other types of training that create all round brilliance in your body.  

You will not just get fit with Fusion Training

You will develop a lean, hard body

Your core will become like a steel plate

You will look and feel amazing

No matter what level you are at today. No matter how unfit you may be…We will progress your ability and results more rapidly than any other form of training available. And we do it completely safely!  

We understand the body. We know how to deal with injuries. Most of us are sports athletes ourselves and have experienced just about every injury there is between us. So we know what you are feeling.  

It may be a mouthful but this type of training is latest Results Proven Training Method available today.  

Most peoples routines are far to repetitive. Way too much time is wasted on isolated exercises like sitting in a machine lifting a weight that uses only 1 or 2 small muscle groups. Traditional gym routines aim to target specific muscle groups one at a time. Targeting muscle groups one a time might be great if your name is Arnold or Annie Schwarzennegger and your just polishing up the already awesome ripped lean muscles around your body.  

It doesn’t matter how much weight you have to lose, weather it’s 10kilos or 100kilos. It doesn’t matter how unfit you are. The fact is you are searching for a program that is going to once and for all get you to your goals. I am gonna take a stab in the dark here, and assume that you are currently not satisfied with the condition of your body or fitness or your health… or maybe all of the above!  

Well we can help you if you let us. Over the next few months you will see great changes occur in your body and the way you feel. You will learn the secrets to transforming your body and your fitness permanently.

How Can You Make Training With Urban Energy Fit Your Budget???? 

 If you are really serious about transforming your body and fitness and budget is a problem. Consider how much money you could be spending weekly in other areas of your life that you could possibly cut down on over the next 2-3months or until we get you to your goal. Just buying one less coffee a day could save you as much as $28 a week! Take a moment to go through the questions below to identify where you could possibly save some money on things which may not be helping you achieve your goals.

Most of our clients do a combination of Personal Training and Group Classes. We also design an exercise program for you to follow outside of Urban Energy. Even if it’s a different gym. In fact we encourage you to still have a gym membership, so you can go and do workouts designed by us in your own time.  

Take a look at our group training info above. Our group classes are fantastic for a fun great workout. They are very affordable and deliver great results.  

I hope you can see that Personal Training with Urban Energy is possibly one of the best steps you could take toward Guaranteed Results for your body!  

I personally promise that we will do absolutely everything we can to help you get results. Great results!  

You may be thinking to yourself now, “I really do want results…. BUT!!! I don’t think that I can afford this long term” To be honest your not alone.  

If this is the case I recommend you look at investing into our 12 Week Super Results Pack. You see it the first 12 weeks that are most critical in terms of getting results. This is when we need the most support and guidance. This is a period in which you will be learning from your trainer how to eat and exercise to get results. You will be developing new habits that form the foundations for ongoing success after the first 12 weeks.  

After the 12 weeks you will be hopefully motivated to step out and continue the great work and results without the need for a trainer.  

So you don’t have to think that you are making this investment for the rest of your life. Or maybe you may move toward group programs such as our Boxing, Boot camp or Fusion Fitness classes. These sessions start from just $11.  

Or maybe take up a sport or start training with a buddy and teaching them the new knowledge you have learned from your trainer.  

You might even have a friend, partner or family member that is so inspired by the results you have achieved, that they want to join in with you and do some buddy sessions. This is a great way to make Personal Training more affordable. Buddy sessions are only an extra $20 for the second person.  

Call us anytime if you have any further questions. We are waiting to help you make your goals a reality!

PS. As humans we are all naturally procrastinators. An opportunity practically has to jump on top of us before we take action. In many cases we miss out on great opportunities because we put something off by saying “I’m GONNA do it later or soon or next week”. Unfortunately we often never actually do it. I bet there was a time maybe last year when you said you were gonna start an exercise program and never actually did it.. Imagine the shape fitness, health and strength you would have now if you had started. Don’t allow another year to pass. Now is the time.  

Remember Your Goals are our Goals and we 100% Guarantee Results

Personal Training on the Gold Coast you’ve got to love it.

Sun, surf, great clients, and the best of beach and city.

Getting the best out of your training relies very much on a different kind of gold. Not the “gold” we have in Gold Coast- but the gold nugget in development you can only get when your personal trainer pushes you beyond your own expectations.

To me- this is worth more than Gold…. its yours, and no one can ever take it away.

Its gold that can never be sold.

As we all know, the number one reason you get a trainer is because they push you to go further and faster than you thought you could go. They test your limits, pushing you into that “beyond” zone- the extra set or 5 extra reps you would have NEVER done before if you trained by yourself.

THIS is what trainings about.

THIS is what personal achievements about.

THIS is what dreams are made of.

While your friends are going to the gym 5 days a week, reading a book on the tread mill, repeating the same training program they have done for years… no longer seeing any results- you are their with your trainer pushing yourself into the Gold zone.

Progressing leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else- the 20 mins extra in effort compounding your fitness to greater and greater levels over time.

Knowing what exercises to do is important…

Having a good personal trainer to put you into the Gold zone each week is even more so.

The real secret, the hidden secret, to having a personal trainer.

There’s nothing better.

Happy Training!

First of all, crunches can be effective if you do them right. Before you sit up, suck air in and tighten your abdominals and when you sit up blow out but keep contracting. Resist when you go down as well. There should be a constant contraction. Imagine your ribs flattening out to the sides. This activates all abdominal muscles and makes each repetition more effective.
Make all 360 degrees of your core strong. We tend to focus on the trouble zone without thinking of the supporting muscles. There are many different fibers that make up the muscles of your midsection. To have a balanced and toned front it helps to work the sides and the back. So don’t forget to include lower back and side abdominal strengthening moves in your routine. Your lower back helps you to stand up straight which stretches your entire body for the appearance of a long sleek body. The side abdominals called the obliques whittle your waistline to create an hourglass figure. Belly dancing is great way to work out the entire core. Just think about it! You are constantly doing a 360 with your waist. Enough said.
Another important inclusion in your workout routine is balancing moves.  When you challenge your body to balance itself by doing single arm and leg moves you force it to use the core muscles to hold itself upright.  This results in a more toned and skinnier midsection. Yoga is a great choice in this type of exercise.  Also, instead of mostly lifting your head and shoulders into a crunch, try focusing on lifting your legs up towards the ceiling while lying on the ground. These types of moves target the lower abdominal muscles more which is where our dreaded pooch is at.
Getting a sexy midsection isn’t just about the exercise. You have to eat right as well. It doesn’t do any good to have ripped abs if it’s hidden under a thick layer of fat. So shedding the extra weight is crucial to a skinnier tummy. Of course this is no secret.  But there are important things to do to help shed those extra pounds, especially in the belly.
First of all, avoid the alcohol.  We all know where the term “beer belly” comes from. So if you are going to drink, limit it to one or two per day. Number two, skim on your use of artificial sweeteners.  They are proven to cause bloating. Eat a lot of non-processed whole grain and organic foods.  They are the closest thing to eating out of a garden in your back yard. Which, let’s face it ladies, is the way we were meant to eat. All of the chemicals and additives in processed foods literally make your body think it is sick and it slows down the metabolism and starts storing energy to combat this “sickness”. Don’t even get me started on all of the sugar and fat included in these foods.  One last thing, hydrate! Drink at least 8 cups of water everyday to help flush out the body and drop the weight.  A lot of times when we are thirsty our bodies make us think we are hungry.  Making sure we drink plenty of liquids helps us to feel fuller longer.
Including these rarely used exercises and eating well will help you to tone your midsection and create a beautiful tummy.  Before you know it, you will be baring your midsection with confidence.

First of all, look deep inside yourself.

Do you feel comfortable having someone knowing your weaknesses and telling them to you? A personal trainer is just that-personal. She will ask you whether you sat down last night and ate a pint of Mocha Almond Fudge before going to bed.  She will ask you whether you drank just one Margarita last night or a pitcher of Margaritas.  She will tell you your exact body fat percentage and where you are sagging, bulging, or lacking.  Now keep in mind, this could be a good thing if you can handle it.  Obviously, you want to change your body and stay healthy if you have the gym membership anyway, and this personal attention by a professional could be what you need to make those abs hard, buns perky and legs sexy. That brings us to our second consideration….
You have to find the right personal trainer for you.  Make sure she is certified, experienced and professional.  She should already have clients, but not too many so that she can give your quads the attention they need.  Have a meeting with her before hand, maybe even a trail session.  You are placing your body in her hands!  They had better be competent hands!  This person will be making you jump, run, and sweat you butt off (if she’s good) and we tend to get cranky when we are at this point.  We don’t want someone whose hairy mole or annoying voice is grating our nerves.  Also make sure this person is creative in her workouts, up on the latest fitness information and motivating. It is very important that she motivate you.  Being fit is just as much mental as it is physical.
This brings us to our last (and biggest) consideration: money!  Personal trainers can be just the thing to get us over a plateau or lose those last few pounds, but they can be costly.  Depending where you live they can be anywhere from $50-100/hour. One session a week for a month would cost you a good shopping day at the mall.  So if you think you are motivated, informed, and happy enough at the gym, save your money.  But what would be the point of saving for that cute black strappy dress if you don’t look smoking hot in it?

Another benefit for working with a personal trainer is everyone working alone tends to lose motivation as the weeks past by. By having a trainer at your side if your motivation begins to wane you will have someone to pump you up and keep you moving in the direction of success. Personal trainers are skilled in developing and maintaining motivation in customers as this is a common challenge for many who are trying to get into better shape.

Many times individuals try to go the fitness road alone by reading books or purchasing a DVD program. But the problem is the information on them is only communicated one-way, from the book or DVD to you. There is no technician on the spot when you need help with a new routine or movement. Working with a personal trainer means having a technician right there at your side, evaluating your movements, correcting your efforts and teaching you new ones properly before bad habits are formed.

Personal trainers are professionals certified by National fitness organizations that test their skill and knowledge. This includes hard and soft skills or people skills and technical skills alike. They are professionals in their field and they take great pride in the results they can provide for customers. Because of their personal and professional skills they are able to design customized programs that will assist their customers to achieve the desired fitness and weight loss results.

Whether to join a fitness studio or work with a personal trainer is really a no-brainer when you look at all you can gain with a personal trainer. It doesn’t make sense to continue and struggle to get into better shape alone when there are personal trainers who can make it much more effective and enjoyable. The cost of a personal trainer is comparable to a joining a fitness studio but the results you will obtain with a personal trainer are far greater.

Na not really… but here’s what you can do

Power Your Immunity, Your guide to killing a cold…

This is an assembly of the latest research on how to arm your immune system so it will strike at the first sign of a tickle in the throat or immediately after a suspicious double sneeze. Or right after you wake in the morning feeling a bit flat. These are symptoms of a cold or flu building. Don’t wait until sets in. Knock in the head immediately with these tips. These could be the difference between needing two days off work or just getting a sniffly nose.

Strategy 1. Eat a large healthy breakfast. Research shows eating a breakfast containing around 1200 calories increases the bodies immune system immediately. Eg. Sultana bran + low fat milk + glass of orange juice + toasted muffin with jam or peanut butter + banana smoothie. Wow! That’s a lot of food, but it will do the job.

Strategy 2. Swap your daily coffee for a green tea.

Strategy 3. Get a solid nights sleep. Aim for 8 hours of unbroken sleep. Research shows wearing light clothing such as a t – shirt and shorts in the hours before you go to bed adjusts your body temperature enough to improve your sleep and immune system.

Strategy 4. Exercise regularly. Research shows that regular moderate exercise increases white blood cell production and decreases colds and flu by 25%. Also if you are unlucky enough to get a cold, you should have it for a shorter duration. Weight training and walking are both excellent.

Strategy 5. Reduce prolonged stress. Prolonged stress of more than a couple of hours is detrimental to your immune system. Do something that relaxes you at the first signs of stress. Try deep breathing, meditation, yoga, stretching, exercise, reading, music etc.

I still like the idea of ice cream better…

This is only one of the thousands of reasons why a lot of people are obese right now, and the number is increasing. Diets never really work, although many people still have this preconceived notion that they do. They go hopping from one diet fad to the next:  Scarsdale Diet, Atkins Diet, Beverly Hills Diet, Grapefruit Diet, Blood Type Diet, Fit or Fat Diet, No-Protein, High Protein, No-Carbs. Is it any wonder people are becoming stressed in figuring out which diet will work for them? The truth is, most of these diets contradict themselves. And as long as a diet forbids one food from another or excludes one or two from the rest, deprivation will be the result. And what happens when you feel deprived? You pig out and feel bad about yourself. There goes another diet out of the window.

So what is the best way to go on a diet? Simple: Don’t go into one. Instead, practice moderation in everything that you do, especially eating. You can eat anything that you want, as long as you don’t go overboard. Also remember to eat your recommended fruits and vegetables, drink your water, and do some simple aerobic and non-aerobic exercises everyday. Also, don’t neglect your emotions – take the time to find out what makes you happy and surround yourself with loving and supportive people. If you do these things, you won’t have to read another diet book again — and you will see that your grandmother’s advice had been right all along.

By using a personal trainer to guide you through a process of lifestyle changes, you can “re teach” yourself good eating habits long term. Habits which can stay for life,  not for only as long as you starve yourself.
