A recent study of 5,472 women (aged 63–99) found that higher muscular strength in woman is a significant predictor of longevity, independent of aerobic fitness or physical activity levels.

The highlights:
• 33–37% lower risk of death for those with the highest strength levels.
• It’s independent: the benefit holds even if you don't do much cardio or have a higher BMI.

The bottom line: It’s never too late to start resistance training.

Maintaining and improving muscle isn't just about fitness—it’s about staying independent and living longer.

Activity matters but the Intensity of effort matters more when it comes to improving your health, fitness and longevity.

Moving and being active is important, but if you are serious about significantly improving your health, fitness, and strength enabling you to live life well, then research shows that intensity of effort is the most important and modifiable factor when it comes to your exercise.

So next time you are going for a walk or doing cardio. Go faster or make it more challenging by going up the hill you avoid or do some high intensity interval training .

If doing weights, try a slightly heavier weight or do more reps and try get close to muscle failure.

And the answer is a resounding YES!

Besides the obvious reasons of accountability and safety, supervision really does matters because it’s proven to deliver better results.

A Southampton Solent University study found that six months of supervised resistance training improved older adults’ strength, body composition, function, and wellbeing. However, those who trained without supervision lost strength at the same rate as those who stopped completely. The evidence shows that direct supervision is crucial for effective strength training.

Another study split 36 young adults into supervised and unsupervised groups, both following identical eight-week workout routines. The supervised group received personal trainer guidance and feedback, while the unsupervised group only recorded attendance. Results showed supervised participants had greater muscle growth, strength gains, and adherence. The authors concluded that direct supervision, like that from personal trainers, leads to better outcomes for recreationally resistance-trained individuals, regardless of program design.

That’s why even our trainers have trainers!!

Great —but are you truly pushing yourself?

Are you training to muscular fatigue or failure with perfect form, every rep, every set?

Research proves: Supervision means better results across the board - no matter your level!
Everyone thrives with a great coach, especially when they're highly skilled.

Whether you're a beginner or advanced trainee, having expert guidance makes all the difference.

Why strength training…

You strength train not simply because you want to be strong and look better (and of course, we all do). But the strength gives you so much more…

You strength train so you can safely run and climb the Mount.

You strength train so you can enjoy playing with your grandkids.

You strength train so you can train for and compete in events without injuries.

You strength train so you can ski and surf at 70 years of age.

You strength train because you want independence in your 90s.

You strength train because your cognitive function is paramount.

A recently published study provides powerful reinforcement of the importance of strength training under supervision.
The researchers noted a recent meta-analysis that highlighted the fact that people who train alone tend to select weights which, whilst initially efficacious in novice trainees, become sub-optimal quickly as training experience progresses.
It is a well-documented fact that training to or very close to muscle failure is essential for effective strength training. The authors noted that when a trainee self-selects the weights, most perform sets with an estimated proximity of 10-20 reps short of momentary muscle failure.
Conclusion: “Unsupervised trainees may train with sub-optimal effort, while supervised trainees train with greater proximity to failure.
