Personal Trainer in Marbella
Personal Wellness Solutions - Reimagined
It’s been a long journey. What started in June 1997 with a conversation in a small boxing gym in London with a guy with his head in text books and files has brought me to the beautiful Costa Del Sol and all that glitters as a personal trainer in Marbella. I’ve worked in Hollywood with A list stars and VIPs in London.
Now, the hyper-speed digital and chemical saturated age is ravaging mankind and all that is healthy.
However, what better place to be in the world right to put it right. As a personal trainer in Marbella, the beautiful mountains and beaches compliment it’s wonderful style. A passion for car washes, real estate and designer labels combine with historical narrow streets of the old town as the perfect backdrop to a healthy lifestyle.
All roads lead to the Real Padel Club gym near Puerto Banus. It’s indoor /outdoor set up and four million kilos of gym equipment attracts the body beautiful, fitness models and seasonal gym goers. You can people watch like nowhere else for miles.
The principles of my successful philosophy mean I will find a peaceful area of the busy gym to workout with my clients. Each session will get you a step closer to your fitness goal, personal best and wellness. You can be the best version of yourself with determination, focus and continued effort.
A personal trainer job is like no other. It’s involves huge layers of trust, communication and focused attention of all areas of a client’s life. Everything is connected. Every breath, movement and thought interacts with every part of your life and health.
As if you are juggling, the carousel of healthy perfection takes equal amounts of attention to ensure physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health are optimised and synchronised.
How it all starts for you.
We will meet face to face over a herbal tea or coffee. Within minutes, I will have worked out all of the health issues that you need to address personally. There will be time to talk about your objectives, needs, history and life.
This sparks a mental game of health Tetris in my head where I visualise who you will become and how long it will take. Like any journey there will be highs and lows and twists and turns but I guarantee you will achieve everything and more with your health.
Layer after layer of the habits that don’t serve you will be replaced with those that do.
Essentially you hand over the responsibility of your health and wellbeing to me, which for some can take a while and for others will be a relief.
The majority of my clients have been with me for over twenty years. I have quickly become a rock and source of stability for the hectic jetsetters and superstars who lead non-stop lives.
Once you start feeling and looking amazing, you won’t want to lose it.
So, for most, it is the beginning of a long-term working relationship.
For others, they are looking for a short term intense fitness fix. For example, I’ve dropped dress sizes in weeks and chiselled six packs down to 10% body fat in record time, added hope where there was doubt and belief where there was uncertainty.
Have no doubt in your amazingness and potential
You are truly amazing. The magnificence of your physical self combined with the super power of your mind is an unstoppable force.
What happens over time is that life, negative influences and wrong thinking flattens, squashes and removes your ability to stay healthy.
Modern life is exhausting. What has been created in this digital and technological revolution is not fit for human consumption. Too many screens. Social media. Chemical ridden fast food and unstoppable amounts of UPFs.
Get back to basics - Simple, delicious food, deep sleep, consistent exercise and silence. Silence during meditation will be the final piece of your fitness puzzle. By taking a holistic approach to your fitness you will achieve your personal fitness goals and stick to a long-term sustainable wellness change.
Ultimately, you need to slow down your busy life and catch up with yourself to remember what is important.
What to expect physically and how workouts are structured
No matter your age or level of fitness, the emphasis during a workout session is to create balance throughout your body. Perfect posture, flexibility, strength and endurance can all be achieved in the same session.
It’s not the content so much as the routine that makes things happen. I worked for ten years with the artist Marc Quinn in London. Marc went from never lifting a weight, never running, never stretching and 32% body fat to a strong, lean, running and now 20% body fat in his 50’s.
His secret, was his consistency. He never missed a session, ever.
And in-between his workouts with me, he did his best to do his homework. His metamorphosis was subtle but constant. It was a permanent healthy and supremely positive change.
I will find out the best times for you to workout which fit in with your life and we will start the ball rolling. Experience tells me that it takes time to weave changes into your life.
It’s a journey of patience and trust.
Typically, your cardiovascular fitness will improve the quickest. Flexibility is next closely followed by core strength and muscular strength.
Regardless of your age, gender and ability, you will eventually push, pull and squat your own body weight and more. This, I believe, is a basic human requirement.
The three pillars of positive health
Health and wellness is all about opinions and the next best thing. After forty- four years of working out myself and looking after 100’s of people like you it is blindingly obvious that SLEEP is the number one priority.
Next, is the food you eat and finally it’s the exercise you do and the weights you lift.
As a personal trainer in Marbella I take care of everything for you. Your life will be transformed due to my intense focus and expertise. A list stars choose me to take care of everything so they can focus on their careers and feel mentally and physically stronger and happier.
As a result of working with me, your sleep along with your fitness and mood, will be improved. A staggering 95% of Americans wake up once a night or more with pain.
Whilst 73% of adults suffer from at least one symptom of insomnia.
Without good sleep, nothing will change. Weight loss and improving mental health in particular are both entirely dependent on a good nights sleep. You cannot make good choices when you are tired.
Remember, everything you think and do is linked.
Something as basic as a walk for 40 minutes in the morning and a stretch before bed can help sleep. There is a lot more to it sometimes but often keeping it simple reaps the biggest rewards.
It is a personal trainers job to simplify the science and deliver it to you, the client, in the most effective way.
Who should use a personal trainer in Marbella?
The short answer? Pretty much anyone and everyone.
If you are living in Marbella, it is the perfect environment to get healthy. Spain has the highest expected age of any other European country at 83.2 years.
Imagine how long you could live for if you totally decluttered the toxins in your life, got strong and lost unwanted weight. You could live beyond 100 in a happy and healthy way.
Choosing a personal trainer will have multiple benefits for you. You can achieve a beach body and feel super confident. You can increase your strength and feeling super strong. You can increase your flexiblity and feel super agile. Having professional health guidance in all areas of your life can benefit anyone. My client’s ages stretch from 15 to 92 years old. Everyone can improve. Everyone can integrate positive change.
So, if you are at a point where you don’t know where to start, in need of a push with your current routine, recovering from illness or wanting to lose weight, it all starts with a chat.
Every client I have ever had, and there are many, ALL wished they’d started sooner.
Start today and in time, you will have a structured daily routine that holistically delivers you to a better place.
Experience has told me that just thirty minutes per day will transform you. Once you have the knowledge and understanding of the route to optimum health you will become self -sufficient and my job will be done.
All you need to change your health and life is desire. I will give you the belief.
Patience is of course needed too, and persistence.
I recall a long-term client David who first came to me years ago wanting to drop 25kgs. It was clear his metabolism needed firing up. However, I had to be cautious not to push too much too soon as his body wasn’t used to it.
He complained after two months that ‘nothing was happening’.
I told him to trust the process.
The next four months saw outstanding results.
He lost his 25kgs and more.
The best moment was when David, a man who had been deeply self-conscious of his body all his life, walked into his health club wearing a vest and shorts.
It was a wonderful moment because I knew in that second that not just his physique had been transformed, his confidence had too and in turn, his life.
There have been many emotional success stories over the years, some physical, some mental, some emotional. One thing is for sure, when you start your own fitness journey everything improves. Life becomes easier, you become happier and you gain control of your body and health, which in itself is a superpower.
