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. It is a physically challenging process, therefore all lifestyle aspects which may affect your ability to train
    at your full potential will be addressed. These aspects include stress, sleep and nutrition, and you may be asked to provide annual blood tests via your doctor.

    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. Rachel can help you achieve the highest level of total body health and fitness that will provide lifelong benefits.

    All of Rachel’s clients undergo an annual structural balance assessment upon 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. Annual testing tracks your progress, ensures you are maintaining structural balance, and provides valuable data for effectiveness of adopted training methods.
