Online personal training – more than just a workout

Welcome to Body Reach one to one and online personal training, where strength transforms health. My 1-1 and online personal training career has spanned 15 years and has accumulated ~20,000+ hours of successful partnerships. Throughout, I have worked with brilliant people (locally and globally), sharpening my skills to exceptional levels of personal training. Also, I have worked in state of the art gyms such as fitness first, lifestyle fitness and DW sports. However, as I gained more experience I realised that I preferred working in private. As it turned out, so did clients due to being able to work hard and smart without feeling looked at, which enables them to be fully present and enjoy the process.

I’m no fancy, state of the art personal training company/gym. But I’m confident in saying I am exceptional at what I do. And honestly, it’s nice to have the best facilities. But they are far away from being a prerequisite to achieving your goals or receiving excellent 1-1 or online personal training.

So, we offer various levels of ‘PT in your pocket’ online coaching as well as local one to one personal training services. Ranging from online 6 week challenges to completely private, close up, one to one guidance. Because, distance is no issue in this interconnected technological revolutionary era! In addition, don’t let ability level nor age hold you back from starting and know that every one of our clients once began their journeys from where you stand today.

For example, a significant percentage of our clients are aged 50 and above which is great because at this age you’re ‘too old’ not to strength train! Initially, you will fill out an in depth assessment form which we study to tailor and adapt your goals to your lifestyle. So, as you can see, our coaching isn’t just for the young, the fit or the motivated. But for YOU.

Furthermore, it’s not just for accountability, support or knowledge either. But ultimately to maximize YOUR life quality, longevity and independence. Because how we move and eat now, dictates how prosperous our future can be. So, our simplified and evidence based approach leads with a combination of nutrition optimization, general movement targets and of course, strength training.

Because muscle mass, functionality, posture and core stability are critical to life at any age. Also, strength training optimizes body composition (body fat to muscle ratio) and reduces the risk of multiple diseases such as: obesity, diabetes (impaired insulin regulation), osteoporosis (low bone density) and sarcopenia (muscle loss). As well as reducing falls and fractures. So, you will maximize your physique, strength and confidence levels as well as your health profile.

Our clients train where they are most comfortable, whether that be at home or the gym. Clients who train at home use a variety of equipment from dumbbells to barbell’s, resistance bands and bodyweight. Some even have fully fledged garage gyms that they’ve built over time! However, you don’t need much to get in great shape, if the programming is soundly built and here, it is. In addition to our our online and one to one services we also have e-book workout and nutrition programs if you want the structure without the coaching. So, there’s literally something for everyone. 

At Body Reach, the scales don’t dictate your success and HIIT training isn’t required unless your goals are strictly fitness related. Therefore, it’s important to mention that achieving your goals doesn’t have to be boring or complicated. For example, cutting all of your favourite foods out isn’t sustainable and leads to binging due to feeling deprived. Also, if calories are tracked, why not leave a little room for something ‘naughty’. And fasted cardio? Not necessary. Cut all carbs or fats out? Let’s not die today. Eat lots of small meals every day to ‘speed’ your metabolism up? Ahh, more misinformation! Anyway, you get the point! So, we educate you on what is myth and what is worth your consideration and effort.

Firstly, this is an older video but we feel it is of value to showcase a few things. Namely, that we aren’t going to get you drinking apple cider vinegar neat to ‘detox’ your body because that’s what your livers for. In addition, we have takeaways, aren’t obsessed with fitness, or ourselves! But know the importance of health and balance. Fancy a glass of red wine or chocolate within your nutrition plan? No problem at all, we do! Secondly, being a coach is Kate’s second job so she only has a certain amount of allotted time available. So if Kate is the one you want, we’ll pop you on a little waiting list.

A key ingredient to our success is our scientific/evidence based approach to coaching. Because too many goal pursuers waste invaluable time and energy on the wrong methods, usually acquired online – such as the rubbish touted regarding ‘body types’ and weight loss. And they sure are enticing with their wording! But it makes trusting the fitness industry near impossible because years of trying withers away at your motivation and trust. Your will power, genetics or efforts aren’t at fault! The missing piece is adequate knowledge and being coached as an individual that factors in you, your life, genetics, history and goals. So, when you combine these and implement the body reach philosophy, we can guarantee you long lasting success.

How fast will you progress? As fast as you’re consistent. But does it really matter how fast if you get there in the end? Because what’s 6-24 months when compared to a lifetime of failed ‘dieting’. Enjoying the process is key and with our guidance and accountability you finally will, as you will have clear direction and peace of mind throughout.
