Meet the Personal Trainers at Boxfit Geelong

Anyone who has watched the Biggest Loser knows the value of a personal trainer. Boxfit Geelong's personal trainers are Brad Pedersen, Clint Alderton and Kane McKay and they will happily help you on the track to improved health and fitness.

The first thing your personal trainer will do is determine your goals (weight loss, fitness, muscle tone or all of the above). They then customise an exercise program for you that is manageable and gets you on your way to meeting your goals. When you have set goals (i.e. to lose 15 kgs or to complete a 10km run) a personal trainer is a great option to keep you motivated, monitor your progress and give you tips on how to modify your lifestyle.

At Boxfit Geelong, our personal trainers are in this business because they love helping clients achieve their results. There is nothing better than seeing someone complete their first long distance run or lose excess body weight. Do you need a Geelong personal trainer to help you achieve your fitness goals?

Weight Loss Geelong

Often when clients first come to see us at our Geelong gym, Boxfit, their focus is on weight loss. We have plenty of ways that we can help you meet your weight loss goals and improve your fitness such as our Geelong boot camp, personal trainers or an overall fitness regime.

Whether boot camp or personal trainers it is most important is that you find a fitness regime that is manageable and that you enjoy so that you're more likely to stick to it. Starting out doing our two bootcamp classes at 6am or meeting your personal trainer 3 times a week is great but it is better to give yourself more realistic goals to keep you going through the winter too. Once you have reached your weight loss target you are more likely to maintain it with a manageable fitness routine.

Come and talk to your Geelong personal trainers at Boxfit, and we will help you on your way to weight loss and improved health.
