Shefford Gym - Fitness programmes by Guy Green
At Shefford Gym we have a holistic approach to fitness. Exercise coupled with your lifestyle and nutritional needs are all taken into account when we are creating your balanced improvement plan. We then work with you on a personal level to ensure that you achieve your goals for both mind and body. Did you know, for instance, that regular exercise can improve your levels of concentration and levels of happiness? Did you want to achieve this along with improved physical fitness? Maybe it's time that we had a chat?
How we work with you.
At our initial consultation we will carry out a comprehensive health screening questionnaire which will include your medical history. This is important to ensure that any changes that you will be making to your lifestyle will be safe for you to do.
We will also be discussing or creating your goals and discovering the potential for change in your life in terms of both exercise and nutrition.

Static bike
Cross training using low free weights with high repetition will assist fat loss creating lean tissue and generally tone you up. This will build lean muscle tone in both men and women. Starting with lower weights and gradually increasing the weight will achieve progressive results. Our free weights start at 1kg and increase to as high as you can manage!
Body weight exercises
Often overlooked but very effective, exercises designed around the resistance of your own body weight are something that you can do in the comfort of your own home between personal training sessions. Push ups and pull ups are examples of using your own body weight as resistance.
Stretching and flexibility
One of the often desired goals, particularly with older clients, is the desire to improve flexibility. With sedentary jobs it is all too easy to end up with flexibility problems which often leads to muscular pain, particularly to the back, neck and shoulders. We work with you to improve flexibility which has the added benefit of being able to work out more effectively thereby achieving your overall goals quicker.
