As a personal trainer working with clients across Godalming, Woking, and Farnham, I’ve seen firsthand how strength training can transform not just your body but your confidence, posture, energy levels, and even mental health.
To put it simply, as human beings, we need our bodies to be challenged and grow muscle. Not only to change our aesthetics, but also to live a more fulfilling, longer life.
Growing this lean muscle boosts our metabolism, which means the more of it we have, the more calories we burn. Even while sleeping or sitting at a desk. Strength training also burns calories for hours past a workout, unlike cardio (EPOC).
As we age, we naturally lose bone density and muscle mass. Training helps prevent injuries, improves joint health, and supports long-term mobility and balance. The stronger muscles you build help you stand taller and move better. And studies show training can reduce anxiety and depression while building confidence in and out of the gym.
If you live in Surrey and want to start strength training, joining a local gym or investing in adjustable weights at home can have a huge impact on your life. If you're not sure where to start or hit a plateau, then hiring some assistance to help fast-track your results will pay dividends.
