Rachel Luff Personal Training

One of the most effective ways to achieve long lasting changes to the health of the joints, muscles and metabolic processes in your body is through dedicated strength training.

Properly structured and safely executed strength training has been shown to:

    • Increase muscle strength, tone and firmness;
    • Increase bone mineral density;
    • Decrease body fat;
    • Improve health via decreasing cholesterol, lowering blood pressure and improving glucose control;
    • Rehabilitate and prevent injuries, especially the low back, knee and shoulder, and;
    • Decrease stress

Training with a clear and structured path is fun, purposeful and exciting as you see yourself moving towards your goals. Lifestyle aspects like stress, sleep and nutrition, all of which greatly affect your ability to train at your full potential, will be addressed.

Accurate data enables Rachel to put together a realistic and comprehensive training program so you can get where you want to go as quickly and safely as possible, therefore a structural balance assessment is the first port of call when commencing a training program. This serves to identify and correct any factors which may limit your training outcomes, and ultimately sets a strong foundation to train safely at high intensities.

Rachel combines her knowledge of strength training, cardiovascular training, soft tissue therapy and nutrition to help you achieve the highest level of total body health and fitness that will provide lifelong benefits.
