The Best Personal Trainers in Brighton

It’s hard to believe it’s been over 18 months since we opened the doors to SLM HQ at 168 Martin Street, Brighton, right here in beautiful Melbourne. From day one, our mission has been clear: to revolutionise the fitness industry and provide a coaching experience unlike any other.

Strength training is boring!

Joining a new gym sparks excitement, offering a fresh beginning and a different environment that ignites motivation, crucial for gaining momentum in the early stages of your program. However, the less-discussed reality is that strength training can become boring for several reasons.

Strength training for Runners.

At SLM, one thing we teach all of our clients is that strength training should form the foundation of every training program. But more specifically, all of our programs feature an underlying principle known as GPP (General Physical Preparedness). GPP is best explained as developing general qualities across areas such as mobility, stability, skill, strength, endurance and speed. This helps to build a fitness base, acting as a concrete foundation to which we can build larger structures, and ultimately help us shoot for the stars when it comes to our health and fitness goals.

When pain is good (and bad).

As we approach the end of our Q1 program, a lot of our members are now training at a very high intensity, bringing with it plenty of positive physical adaptations. High intensity comes in many forms, but one thing that is consistent across all modalities is that it often brings with it a level of pain. And whilst it is true that if there's 'no pain' there's typically 'no gain', we need to look at this concept with a broader lens because pain is perception, and therefore subjective. 

Performance > Aesthetics.

Performance is a priority. Aesthetics is an afterthought. That's a mantra that we like to live by at SLM, and for a good reason. Our mission is to help people unleash their inner athlete, or rather, improve their health-span so that they can live a higher quality of life, for longer.
