Virtual Personal Training

If you’re currently at a gym, or have your own equipment at home, it’s worth considering a ‘Virtual PT’ arrangement. Unlimited training and diet support via email, including a nutrition plan matched to your goals and effective training plans based on the equipment you have available, your goals, and the times you are able to train. You take care of the physical effort, and let RWF take care of all your nutrition and exercise planning.

This is a three month package at £200, or £375 for six months. Just get in touch via the Contact Us page.

The Virtual PT arrangement involves RWF setting you calorie and macro-nutrient targets based on your goals, and helping you with identifying the best foods/meals to hit those targets. We also do full meal planning for people who’d rather follow a set menu. The food planning is not restrictive, and within your targets allows you to eat without overly strict rules.

The exercise element involves RWF planning your training, giving you monthly or six-weekly workout schedules based on the equipment and time you have available and your progress. RWF also happily review any video footage you take of your exercise form to ensure everything is being done properly, although the video element is not essential.

Kettlebell Training

Kettlebells are a hugely popular form of resistance training and cardiovascular conditioning. Shaped like cannonballs with handles, these weights come in many different sizes to suit all abilities. The benefits from introducing kettlebell training to your life are vast – nothing comes close to making such drastic improvements in CV ability, fat loss and muscular endurance.

Our basic three-session course costs £120. Each session lasts an hour, and you’ll learn all the essential kettlebell moves and how to implement them into established training sessions and drills. You’ll also learn some basic tricks to improve your fitness to get the best out of your training. We even throw in a free individualised diet plan, matched up to YOUR goals! We guarantee after three sessions, you’ll be hooked!

We now offer sports massage in Nottingham at Real World Fitness.

What is it?

Sports massage is the management, manipulation and rehabilitation of all the soft tissues of the body including muscles, ligaments and tendons.

Sports massage can play an important role in keeping anyone fit and mobile regardless of. Massage has a number of physical, physiological and psychological benefits.

What does it do?

Maintaining your body’s health takes time and dedication. Preventing injuries and loss of mobility, curing and restoring mobility to injured muscle tissue, boosting performance and extending the longevity of physical activity.

Increased circulation – The stroking movements in massage push fluid through blood vessels and lymph vessels improving circulation. Pressure is increased in front of each stroke while a vacuum is created behind which acts like a pump. This is a crucial process for tight or damaged muscle tissue as a tight muscle will squeeze blood out like a sponge, depriving the tissues of vital nutrients and energy with which to repair.

Increased tissue permeability – Deep massage causes the pores in tissue membranes to open, enabling fluids and nutrients to pass through. This helps remove waste products such as lactic acid and encourages the muscles to take up oxygen and nutrients which help them recover quicker.

Improved flexibility – massage restores muscle length and is more powerful for improving flexibility than traditional stretching methods. Bundles of muscle fibres are stretched lengthwise as well as sideways with massage which also stretches the sheath or fascia that surrounds the muscle, so releasing any tension or pressure build up. This impact on fascia is significant as injury research shows that fascia is responsible for a large percentage of injuries, chronic pain and ineffective response to treatment.

Breaks down scar tissue – Scar tissue is the result of previous injuries or trauma and can affect muscle, tendons and ligaments. This can then lead to inflexible tissues which are prone to re-injury and long-term pain.

Improved tissue elasticity – Hard training and long-term exercising can make tissues hard and inelastic and this can reduce the gains expected from training, leading to plateaus and motivational lows. Massage helps to reset and maintain the natural elastic properties of soft tissue.

Pain reduction – Tension and excess waste products in muscles can often cause pain. Massage helps reduce this in many ways, including releasing the bodies endorphins.

Relaxation – Muscles relax through heat generated, circulation and stretching. Mechano-receptors which sense touch, pressure, tissue length and warmth are stimulated causing a reflex relaxation.
