Fitness. Down to a Science.

Reach Your Goals In As Little As 20-30 Minutes Per Week

Conventional exercise programs dictate you spend 45 to 60 minutes doing cardio workouts 5 days per week. As a busy professional that is almost impossible to fit in. In addition it may not be getting you the results you are looking for. At One Up Fitness, our high intensity resistance training ensures you get the maximum benefit in as little as 30 minutes per week. No more pounding it out on the treadmill to get your “cardio”. To learn more about how One Up Fitness can help you fit the exercise you need into your busy life, schedule your free 15-minute phone consult with one of our personal trainers in Halifax or Bedford or book your initial complimentary workout session to experience the difference of One Up Fitness.

You’re Getting Older, But Are Not Willing To Give Up The Activities You Love.

Getting older is usually associated with reduced mobility and slowing down, but it doesn’t have to be that way. At One Up Fitness many of our clients are people just like you. Instead of slowing down we hear comments like, “I feel better than I have for years” and “I have more energy now than I did in my 30’s”. Keeping up with grand-kids can turn into grand-kids trying to keep up with you! As we age we naturally start to lose muscle mass but with proper strength training that can be reversed. Strength training can give you increased stamina and stability so you can continue doing the things you love to do without the fear of falling or feeling exhausted. Stronger muscles also means stronger heart and an increase in the amount of calories your body will burn at rest. With heart disease and obesity one of the leading causes of death this alone is a great reason to consider getting stronger as you age. Many people are of starting strength training later in life for fear of injury. One Up Fitness uses a controlled slow rep method of training so your risk of injury is greatly reduced. With less reps there is less wear and tear on your joints as well. All your workouts are directly supervised by our knowledgeable trainers to ensure you maintain proper form also reducing the risk of injury.

Up Your Game

Striving to become competitive in any sport or activity takes time and effort. Strength training should be a big part of your preparation. Many people think they need to do cardio exercises to increase performance in heart taxing sports like hockey or soccer. This simply isn’t true. High intensity resistance training delivers a better cardiovascular workout than any traditional “cardio” exercise.

If you are interested in improving your performance in a particular activity or sport the best prescription is to first improve your strength with resistance exercise. The next step is to then perfectly practice whatever activity it is that you do regularly. Resistance exercise done correctly is not something that should take hours in the gym 5 days a week. One or two 30 minute sessions per week should be all you need to increase your strength and give you more time to practice doing what you love.

Increased strength also reduces the risk of injury. Less chance of injury means you will be able to continue participating in your favourite sports for years to come without being sidelined by the issues that plague many people as they age.

The Alternative To The Traditional Gym

There are very few people who love to spend endless hours per week in the gym. It is even less inviting when you know you are likely to be sharing equipment or working out beside some pumped up hardbody or gym rat that makes you feel like you could never live up to that standard. Depending on the time of day you may end up spending half your time just waiting to use equipment. It doesn’t have to be this way. One Up Fitness is a different way to get fit and still have the time to do the things you love. Each session is by appointment only and is one-on-one with your trainer. No waiting for equipment in a crowded gym. Our methods of strength training ensure you get the maximum benefit from each workout in the least amount of time.
