Regular resistance training with free weights and resistance machines plays a vital role in achieving total fitness. Through resistance training you will build and maintain muscle mass, thus improving your lean mass, muscle to fat ratio, body shape and posture and reducing the risk of back problems. Regular resistance training not only burns lots of calories during your workout but for may hours after by raising your metabolism as your body gets to work on repairing and rebuilding your muscles.

Regular muscular endurance training will increase your body's glycogen (energy) stores and increase muscle tone. Regular muscular strength training will increase muscle size (hypertrophy), increase stores of ATP (Adenosine Tri-Phosphate) and CP (Creatine Phosphate), increase strength of connective tissue, stronger ligaments and tendons resulting in more stable joints.

"Ryan's "functional training" workouts have had dramatic results. By combining exercises the efficiency and intensity of a session is magnified considerably. There is greater fat-burning, the heart rate is kept elevated throughout and the core muscles are given a blistering workout. There have also been improvements in power, balance and co-ordination. The overall increase in strength has also benefited our running leading to greater fitness and endurance - we even seem to have developed a sprint finish! This is not a workout to take lightly but is seriously addictive." H & V.B.

For each pound of muscle you gain you will burn approximately 50 more calories per day! You'll be burning more calories even in your sleep!! The type and intensity of resistance training you should do will depend on your goals, whether you want to tone up to develop a slimmer, leaner more defined look or to bulk up to gain muscle mass and definition.

"I had been training for many months and could not get my body fat percent down without losing muscle. After a consultation with Ryan I began a comprehensive programme that would see me achieve results that even I could not believe. After each consultation Ryan charted my progress and set new and exciting goals for me to achieve through each month. Month on month my strength (and muscle) grew beyond my expectations and a strict cardio programme saw my body fat drop month on month. My fitness, a priority with Ryan, progressed exponentially.

Not only was Ryan a help with my training programme, but also any questions regarding nutrition and training injuries were easily answered. Ryan gave solid advice on my eating plan and calorie intake, of which is 70% of any weight training programme.

I was surprised at the range of products that Ryan could offer at discounted prices too, from new energy drinks to state-of-the-art nutritional supplements. My whole experience of training with Ryan is one of gratitude, motivation, confidence in my programme (and my ability) and overall enjoyment in being healthy, fit and strong."
