THE BODY CONSULTANTS ARE MORE THAN JUST A GYM, WE'RE YOUR TRANSFORMATIONAL PARTNER, DEDICATED TO HELPING YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY...

1: EAT REAL FOOD

A lot of what we see when it comes to food, is in actual fact not food. 

They’re products, with a wide array of chemicals, preservatives and nasties that were never meant for human consumption.

Are we against junk food and think that eating should be nothing but chicken and broccoli?

Absolutely not.

Which leads us onto our second point.

2: MAKE IT FUN.

Our view for your nutrition is that it should be fun. There is no reason dreading every meal that you hate and living for the weekend were you can devour your glorious cheat meal. That is no way to live and at The Body Consultants we do not condone that at all.

What we want for you to do is 90% of the time to eat according the plan that your coach will create with you. The other 10% of the time enjoy whatever it is that you choose to eat.

Because, just remember no one ever got fat after eating 1 donut, or 1 ice cream. It’s the consistency of eating this below average food that lead to that extra soft stuff that might be hanging around on your midsection.

It’s funny, this leads us to point number 3 in a roundabout way.

3: CONSISTENCY IS KEY

Everything that we do with you in terms of your nutrition has got to be sustainable in order for you to be consistent with it. 

The best diet is the one that you can stick to for a long term basis.

If not, we’re literally setting you up for failure.

Think about that for a moment, if you’ve ever been to see a Personal Trainer and they’ve given you some generic bland and boring meal plan that if you wore a blindfold, that you could in actual fact be eating cardboard because of the atrocity that they called a meal, do you really think you were going to succeed with that plan in the long term?

No, a big fat dry, bland no.

So in terms of consistency. We build it with you and let you pick the foods that you want to eat that are going to help you achieve your goals.

Because, if you choose these foods, the likelihood of you being consistent with it is much more likely than if we forced rubbery boiled meat misery upon you.

1: YOU CAN

Our belief is that you can do anything you set out to achieve, assuming the target is correct there’s no real reason you can’t achieve what you want to.

That’s why we set goals from day one, that both push you, but aren’t going to leave you frustrated that you feel like you’ll never achieve them.

Taking control of your health and fitness is a choice only you can make, we are here to guide you and support you along the way, but you are the only person who can do the work, turn up to the sessions, get to bed on time, follow your nutrition guidelines.

Remember it all starts with you and the outcome lays in your hands.

2: KNOW YOUR WHY

What is is that got you to step in the door?

For most people it starts off as simply wanting to lose weight, tone up, get fit.

The problem is we don’t know what any of this means, I urge you to go a bit deeper than that and ask yourself the fundamental question of why you actually want to be here and why you want to achieve your goals, of what significance does it hold for you?

Because without that, there is no internal guiding compass to keep you on your journey, you need to truly know what drives you to set out and achieve what you came here to do.

3: HEALTH IS A HABIT

We pride ourselves here on making sustainable body transformation a reality, how many times have you or people that you know, gone on some cleanse, diet, or whatever it may be only to wind up exactly where they started as they couldn’t maintain the process.

Health needs to become a habit, that means you need to find way to incorporate it into your lifestyle and become a part of who you are, not just something that you do.

We never think about brushing our teeth, or getting dressed, these are simply habits you have formed, and they take almost no will power to perform, the goals is to get the fundamentals of health so deeply embedded into your lifestyle, that you don’t even notice that you’re doing it.

It might be something as simple as getting up 10 minutes earlier and having the correct food you can prepare for breakfast.

One meal will not make you nor will one meal break you, it is always the consistency of your choices over time which will determine the outcome.

We will work with you to make health a habit so that you can keep your results for life.

1: HYDRATE AND DOMINATE

Water is one of the most overlooked areas when it comes to improving your body composition. The advantage of hitting your water goals is that it leaves you hydrated to dominate on a day to day basis. 

This optimises every function in your body so you can be the most kick ass version of yourself. Dehydration will leave your fat loss stalling, your liver clogged up and your will decrease your strength faster than you can blink. 

How do we counteract this? 

Well, we have a simple formula.

We aim for 1 litre of water for every 25kg’s of body weight.

This means for a 65kg female or male we are looking at about 2.5L’s of water per day. 
When we coach you, we track this on a daily basis so it becomes a habit, because, health is a habit, remember?

2: BREATHE AND RELAX

In today’s busy world it is imperative to find the time to breathe and relax.

Being in a constant state of flight or fight through all the stressors we place on ourselves is not natural.

It’s crucial that we find the time to relax and de stress, especially if you’re going to be training with any level of frequency.

 We want to balance our sympathetic (alert and active) and para-sympathetic (rest and digest) nervous systems.

One simple app we like to use is called Headspace, it does 7-10 minute breathing/guided meditations, it’s super simple to use and fun, you can access it at anytime and take a break from whatever you’re doing to unwind. 

Maybe meditation is not your thing, that’s ok too, we encourage you to find something that you love that allows you to switch off and  unwind,  we’re talking massage, yoga, taking a walk, stretching, whatever it may be.

By balancing your nervous system, it will mean you sleep better, are less anxious, can train harder and will have much better luck getting results and dropping body fat.

3: SLEEP AND STRESS LESS

It’s a well documented fact that most adults simply don’t get enough sleep over the course of their lives.

We’re not here to tell you how much you need to sleep, that’s for you to tune into and figure out. 

It could be 5-6, or it could be 8-10, everyones needs are different.

When we’re looking at importance there’s two things to consider, the first is wake up time. 

We want to make the time we get up as consistent as possible. This helps set up our hormones for the day. The second area of importance is routine.

We want to help you set up some habits around your sleep cycle. 

In the academy we help you set up this routine and give you our sleep hacks that make all the difference.

Improving your sleep, can help you lower your stress, have better energy, improve your fat loss and speed up your recovery.
