Key areas of expertise
Strength training is probably the best exercise to help lose or control fat percentage. It increases the number of type 2 muscle fibres which increase strength and are important in controlling whole body metabolism.
Practical Strength & Injury Prevention
We all suffer from injuries from flexibility
Increasingly sedentary lifestyles leave many people unprepared for the physical tasks we need to do. Lack of strength can limit your endurance in carrying out those tasks and also lead to poor form. Lack of flexibility results in an imbalance of forces through the body which can make you prone to injury and chronic pain.
A well planned programme can:
- increase strength and endurance when doing everyday physical activities
- improve performance in any regular sporting activity such as golf or bowls
- increase bone density
- increase your sense of wellbeing

Rehabilitation & Injury Prevention
We all suffer from injuries from time to time.
Specific exercises targeted at the area of injury can speed recovery. More importantly, a well planned programme of strength and stretching exercises can help avoid injuries caused by falling or sudden unplanned movements. It is preferable to be pro-active.
So if it’s preventative or rehab training you want contact Graeme Ahern
Sports Specific Training
Regardless of the level at which you compete you can benefit from an exercise programme that targets the movements used in your chosen sport.
Benefits include:
- increased strength and explosive energy
- the ability to maintain performance at higher levels for longer
- a reduction in the likelihood of injury

Aerobic / Anaerobic Innovative Training
I believe there is a general misconception about aerobic training. There is a lot of research showing that interval type training is superior to steady state training in almost every respect. An exception is when training for a specific endurance event.
The time spent doing interval sessions is a third to a quarter of steady state sessions. A series of short body-weight exercises with very little rest has the benefit of developing strength, power, flexibility and aerobic fitness fast!

Balance & Posture
These terms are very closely related. Good posture enables our internal organs, muscles, cartilages, ligaments and tendons to work efficiently and helps avoid symptoms caused by everyday overuse.
Good balance ensures more efficient movement and helps prevent falls. As we grow older this becomes more of a risk. Falls affect our ability to enjoy an active lifestyle.
