Best Practice and Fit Over 40.....

Gidday, Anthony G here. Thought it would be worthwhile updating those who are interested on the current ‘state of play’ of Best Practice Personal Training and you may have heard some things about ‘Fit Over 40’. 

This is aimed at those who are still look to get help with their health and fitness. In the current social media and I guess advertising world, it can be hard to get the message out. Have you seen any Facebook posts lately? Thought so. There have been more than a few! This is why we are using a few different means to try and communicate. If you were a client at one point over the past 18 years, you may get an actual letter because sometimes old fashioned works! I know a lot of people won’t see this or it won’t be relevant. That is cool. Well at least the latter point, the former is a little frustating if I am to be honest. Much time is wasted trying to get the right message to the right people!

Anyway, it doesn’t mean I won’t try 🙂

So quick summary: Best Practice Personal Training is kind of being phased out as I move towards the promotion and formation of Fit Over 40. The former was a brand that got a little hurt in Covid. 

The bottom line is, I am focussing going forward on Small Group Fitness Training for everyday people. There will still be a few personal training time slots available with me (and perhaps some other coaches who will be part of the team going forward), but again the main part of what we do will be small group. 

Why I hear you cry? These are the following (at least, what I think are compelling) reasons:”

1. Small group training is probably more fun for most

2. It’s definitely more affordable long term

3. It can be pretty close to personal training due to the structure of the session and the quite general goals (for me, most people just want to move and feel better). The right whole body/ ‘useful fitness’ moves will achieve that, especially when each move can be modified safely to suit the beginner and reasonably experienced exerciser. Interesting physiological fact, you will lose muscle mass as you age and significant life affecting amounts if you don’t do progressive overload via strength training.

In the past, I used the Field of Dreams mantra in starting and building Best Practice. Which was, ‘Build it and they will come’. We live in different times now, mostly because I am 57 and not 39 🙂 Fit over 40 is going to live or die based on whether enough people think it is good for them. I have a suspicion it will, but we are starting small and simple and see where it leads. If you are still looking for help, I hope you come along for the ride. There is a no risk trial for anyone starting.

P.S Nerd alert for those who have a technical brain!.
