I stated working out about six months ago, I’m lucky enough to have space for a home gym so all my workouts have all been self taught from magazines & YouTube. After six months of working hard I was happy with my results but knew there must be a better way and I was starting to get injuries as my technique wasn’t the best this is when I found Pure Fitness Group.

I knew right from the first consultation that they could offer exactly what I was looking for. No fixed contracts, good equipment and trainers that will push you to where you need be.

My basic goal was to get ripped!!! I was paired up with Ben Brown who specializes in Strength & Conditioning and the results have been amazing!!! Ben has pushed me to achieve the same results that I achieved at home over 6 months in only 3 weeks. His in depth knowledge of Strength & Conditioning training backed up by a Degree in sport science really turned out the results and he’s not shy on sharing what he knows.

 

Ben mixes it up every session making the workouts extremely fun and whilst your training you learn the science behind the workouts too so it’s not just “lift this” and “push that” he educates you as to why  you’re doing it and what it achieves.

Ben also put together an awesome program to suit my equipment at home so I was able to step up my home training to keep up with my PT sessions.

All in all, I’ve been absolutely stoked with the service & results since being with the Pure Fitness Group. So much so that I have all ready recommended friends that are now training with Pure Fitness too. I would recommend anyone that is looking to take their workout to the next level to come to the studio and check them out.

Cheers

Pat has been my personal trainer for over a month now and prior to that I attended his boxing classes three times a week.

Pat offers a perfect combination of diverse training methods, individualised exercise programs that gets me huffing and puffing in no time!! His professionalism, extensive knowledge and enthusiastic commitment to his work and his clients, provides a perfect scenario for success and sets foundations for a new healthier lifestyle.   After working with a couple of personal trainers prior to Pat, you really appreciate when you get a good one! Pat pushes me to levels that I would never go and knows exactly what exercises to do in order to shape and sculpt my body. I look forward to skinny days ahead with Pat!

JACINTA EHLERS

Since having my two children I have struggled to find some sort of exercise to keep me enthusiastic.I started personal training with Patrick about four months ago.Every session with him is interesting and challenging.He is very professional in his approach to his work.In the past, I've suffered with a lower back problem. Since working with Patrick he has improved my core strength and I am happy to say my back has already improved.Gyms are not normally my thing; however I have found Patrick to be a great motivator, able to push me without being “in your face ".I now look forward to my training and enjoy getting fit.

I had given gymnasiums a try before but never with much success. I found it difficult to stay motivated and training in big establishments alone was pretty uninspiring.  It was always easy to find an excuse to give it away.

I wish I had discovered Pat and Pure Fitness Group a long time ago.

It’s impossible to exaggerate the benefits of a personal trainer and Pat has done wonders for my health and fitness. He gets the most out of me at our training sessions but always within my capabilities especially as an “older” guy. It’s great to have someone like Pat always there encouraging me to do that little bit extra to achieve my fitness goals. I’ve been with Pure Fitness and Pat for six months now and I haven’t been this fit and this trim for years.

Hi Guys!

I t has been great to see everyone training so hard and getting results over the past three months, let’s keep that momentum going and keep reaching those goals. As most of you  know Ben is leaving us to follow his dream to join the New Zealand Army and one day join Special Forces.  We are sad to see him go but wish him every success in his future endeavours; we just hope that the army is prepared for him. A huge thank you from all of us for being such an inspiration and for his infectious attitude to never give up and to never give anything other than our absolute best.

With Ben leaving we have two new trainers starting this week and I would like to take this opportunity to introduce Adam Spiroff and Lisa Hogan. Both Lisa and Adam will be bringing a new dynamic to Pure Fitness Group. Adam is currently completing his masters in Physiotherapy, while Lisa is studying  Education Health Sciences.  Please make them feel welcome as new members of the team and be sure to chat to them about your training to help effect a smooth transition.

                   DOB IN A MATE APRIL!

Dob in a mate or refer a friend who you think would enjoy a kick start to reaching their health and fitness goals over April and we will offer them a FREE Personal Training Session to get them started and if they sign up for 12 weeks we will train you for free for one week. That's right. 5 friends sign up - you get 5 weeks free training!!!

Another big thank you to Margaret Hays our dietician and everyone that came along to our healthy eating seminar last month. We are hoping to continue conducting the seminars every six weeks each time covering different aspects of nutrition, so keep your eyes and ears open for that one.
If you are not already a member of our Facebook group be sure to add us so you receive any updates to our programs or invites to upcoming events such as our 1 year Birthday in May.

                   Can I eat sugar before exercise?

Many athletes are concerned that eating sugar or sugary foods and drinks in the hour before exercise will affect performance. Eating carbohydrate foods including sugar raises blood glucose and insulin levels. When these levels are elevated just prior to exercise there is potential for a rebound drop in blood glucose levels (hypoglycaemia) after exercise has started and an increased use of carbohydrate stores during exercise. This may not be good for an athlete’s performance and endurance.
However recent research indicates that for most people the drop in blood glucose levels is short lived. In most cases any metabolic changes are corrected within 15-20 minutes of exercise. Furthermore, the athlete may actually benefit from the fuel boost from this extra carbohydrate. It helps to have adequate carbohydrate in pre-exercise meals to compensate for its increased use as an exercise fuel - at least 50g seems a reasonable target.

                 Self belief is everything!

                           ALL DAY!

Happy New Year! from all of us here at the Pure Fitness Group, welcome back to those lucky enough to have been away on holiday. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for making me feel so welcome here at the studio.

I am very excited to be a part of this great team and I am looking forward to what is in store for this year. Keep your eye out for changes within the studio as we fire things up for 2011.

We will be implementing a software package that will give you guys the ability to book your sessions online as well as see what events are coming up. Events such as a healthy eating seminar that we will be conducting on the 15th March at 6pm at the Wembley Hotel function room. We will be giving tips and valuable information on how to best achieve our goals through healthy eating. It is free to come along and we encourage you to bring as many friends and family as you like.

You may have already seen our new notice board, make sure you have a look at the information on there as it will tell you about any promotions, upcoming events, exercise of the month and show of interest forms for you to fill in to let us know the level of interest for new group classes or events.

We are currently looking at starting a Tues / Thurs morning boot camp as well as off peak gym usage. If you are interested in either of those options please put your name on the sheet. Lets fire it up for the new year guys! There is nothing like the start of a new year to crank up our passion and motivation for achieving our goals be it in business, relationships, health or any aspect of our lives we want to improve.

We are all inventors, each sailing out on a voyage of discovery, guided each by a private chart, of which there is no duplicate. The world is all gates, all opportunities!!!
