FOR ATHLETES, STRENGTH TRAINING IS IMPERATIVE

With both former collegiate and professional athletes on staff, Personal Edge Fitness in Mobile, AL and Daphne, AL has the trainer to fit your needs.

STRENGTH TRAINING

Strength training is the use of resistance to increase muscular contraction to build strength and anaerobic endurance. Strength training increases the strength of your muscles, maintains the integrity of your bones, and improves your balance, coordination, and mobility. Also, strength training can help reduce the signs and symptoms of many chronic conditions, including arthritis.

For athletes, strength training is imperative. It is important to have a trainer who understands the demands of your particular sports as well as any limitations or injuries that you may have. With both former collegiate and professional athletes on staff, Personal Edge Fitness has the trainer to fit your needs.

An individualized senior strength program by Personal Edge Fitness will follow ACSM and AHA guidelines to safely improve your overall health. If you’re not physically active now, a strength program will help you make all physical activities easier and more enjoyable.

Goals / Benefits

FOR BUILDING MUSCLE MASS

One of the main benefits of strength training is the ability to build muscle mass. When you perform strength exercises, you create microscopic tears in your muscle fibers. These tears then heal and grow stronger, resulting in increased muscle mass. This increase in muscle mass not only enhances your physical appearance but also helps with everyday activities such as lifting heavy objects and climbing stairs. Our trainers will work with you to create a personalized strength training plan that is tailored to your individual needs and goals, whether that be to build muscle or improve overall fitness.

FOR STRONG BONES

Strength training can also improve bone density and prevent osteoporosis, a condition that causes bones to become weak and brittle. When you lift weights or perform other strength exercises, your bones are placed under stress, which stimulates the cells that build bone tissue. This, in turn, increases bone density and reduces the risk of fractures. At Personal Edge Fitness, we offer safe and effective strength training programs that can help improve bone density and prevent osteoporosis.

FOR FLEXIBILITY

Another benefit of strength training is improved flexibility. Many people associate strength training with rigid, bulky muscles, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. Strength training can actually increase your range of motion and improve flexibility by reducing muscle tightness and improving joint mobility. At Personal Edge Fitness, our trainers will incorporate stretching and flexibility exercises into your strength training program to help you achieve your goals and prevent injury.

FOR HIGHER ENERGY LEVELS

Strength training can also help boost your energy levels. When you perform strength exercises, you increase your heart rate and circulation, which delivers more oxygen and nutrients to your muscles. This can help improve your overall energy levels and reduce fatigue. Additionally, strength training has been shown to improve sleep quality, which can further contribute to increased energy levels throughout the day.

FOR INJURY PREVENTION

Strength training can also help prevent injuries by strengthening muscles and connective tissues, improving joint stability, and enhancing balance and coordination. This can be particularly beneficial for athletes who engage in high-impact sports that put a lot of stress on their bodies. At Personal Edge Fitness, our trainers will work with you to design a strength training program that addresses your individual needs and helps prevent injuries.

FOR MENTAL HEALTH

In addition to the physical benefits, strength training can also have a positive impact on mental health. Studies have shown that regular strength training can help reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, improve self-esteem and body image, and enhance cognitive function. At Personal Edge Fitness in Mobile, AL and Daphne, AL, we understand the importance of a holistic approach to health and wellness and will work with you to achieve your physical and mental health goals.

I have worked with the trainers of Personal Edge Fitness since 1998.  In all those years of training, I have experienced no loss in strength and abilities usually related to aging.  It is for this reason alone that I have made Personal Edge Fitness an integral part of my life and would go nowhere else for my fitness program.
