Ultimate Conditioning Health and Fitness reopens on Wednesday the 8th of January 2020. ••• Over the last two weeks I have had the opportunity to rejuvenate and refocus for what I hope will be a big 2020. ••• Come and experience the difference.
I often get asked about my training and lifestyle by people I train. What training do I do? What do I eat? How much sleep do I get? How do you fit everything in? People often think that the health and fitness game comes naturally to me and is straight forward. But the reality is I face the same challenges everyone else does. My week starts on a Sunday. I spend 60 minutes (max) preparing my food for the week. Meat. Veg. Rice. That’s it. I take other fruit, cereal, and bars to eat through the day. My weekdays starts at 4:15am. I train every morning at 4:40am till around 6:00am. I strength train 5 days per week, I do conditioning 3-4 times per week, and play 40 mins of badminton in my lunch breaks at work twice a week. I aim to get 10000 steps per day. I work 6 days a week @ultimateconditioning or @marbisports as a strength and conditioning coach. I work 10-12 hours a day. Because I’m up early, and busy all day I go to bed early and get a good amount of quality sleep. Nothing I do is ground breaking, and I’m not suggesting what I do is the way everyone should go about their health and fitness journey. I do all of this because I love to do it. But there are sacrifices I have had to make. A huge one is family time. But I’m lucky because my wife, @sallysaunders, and kids are so supportive and they are always in the gym so I still get to spend time with them. Also, my weekends are for my family. I think the point I’m trying to make is that things aren’t always as they seem. Everyone’s lives are busy. Everyone faces their own challenges. How you fit health and fitness into your life is just a puzzle that needs to be solved. There is always a solution. You just need to search in the right places. #capacitypowerefficiency
You put your gym clothes on, then get in your car and drive to the gym. You arrive at the gym. You grab your towel and drink bottle from the passenger seat, get out of your car and walk through the front door. You walk into a room full of equipment, all shiny and ready to be used. But what’s missing? The number one thing that will allow you to achieve why it is you first walked through the door. Programming, technique advice, someone to give you feedback, and most of all experience. That’s where @ultimateconditioning comes in. Let me write your programs. Let me help you set your goals. Let me give you the feedback you need to execute your session exactly how it needs to be done. Come and experience the difference. #capacitypowerefficiency
External motivation vs internal motivation. Both are powerful, and useful tools at different points in time. However, In my opinion, one will always prevail. One will drive you to push harder. One will drive you to keep turning up. This one will keep those feet moving in the right direction. So remember this, the song you put on for that motivational boost will end. The 10km fun run you sign up for, and complete, will come and go. That Bali body you created for your honeymoon will wither away. So my words of advice, don’t rely on external motivation. It can’t set your alarm for you to get up. It can’t prepare your lunch for you. It can’t pick up the weights. It can’t pedal your bike. It can’t drive you to the gym. It can’t say no to that piece of chocolate you know you don’t need. Embrace your internal strength. You might just surprise yourself! #capacitypowerefficiency
A great quote from @keegan_smith. What does it mean to you? #capacitypowerefficiency #realmvmt
I’m super proud to be able to work with dedicated, passionate, and amazing young people doing even more amazing things in their chosen sports! I don’t take any credit for anything they do athletically in their sport. They do the work. I just provide the platform. @ultimateconditioning Is just one cog in a much larger machine working together with them to achieve success. I feel honoured that they trust me enough to be part of their team of support on their journey to success. And for that I say thank you!! #capacitypowerefficiency
Proper training requires programming that allows for progression. That’s why @ultimateconditioning I use 8 week blocks to help those training to experience the overload they need to progress effectively. Over the years I’ve found the hardest part of my job is to educate people about how to train, and how to be efficient in the gym. Many think that constantly changing what you do in the gym, or in life for that matter, will help achieve long term results. results. Unfortunately this is largely untrue and this way of training is constantly reinforced through the internet, and social media. When your trying to get better, have a plan, have a program, gradually progress, and you will achieve your results!! I’m super excited for the new block starting tomorrow in the gym!! #capacitypowerefficiency
Comfortable is a word I have been discussing with the people training @ultimateconditioning quite a bit over the last week. Being comfortable is something the human body is constantly striving for! When we are hungry, our brain is quick to start reminding us to eat. When we are cold, we are sent constant messages from our central command system to warm-up. We keep getting these messages until we become comfortable again. Funnily enough, the same happens when we exercise. Training should be uncomfortable within the parameters of your capabilities. Remember the change process is hard. Sometimes you just have to tell your brain to shut the fuck up!! Experience the difference. #capacitypowerefficiency
A major part of my job coaching @ultimateconditioning is to educate the people training in the gym. Although people walk into the gym to train, the process of training can’t be undertaken unless there is an understanding of: • what they need to do • why they need to do it • how they need to do it • when to work hard • when to rest The easiest thing I can do when people come to train in the gym is crush them with intensity. However, there is no thought process involved in this, and the risks far outweigh the rewards. Don’t be fooled by intensity. Buy into the process of learning, understanding, and long term success.

If you invest in me, I’ll invest in you. I feel honoured that people are willing to spend their hard earned money training with me @ultimateconditioning, and it is for this reason that I’m obligated to give them the information that is going to serve them best. I’ll give you the feedback, and advice, that you need to hear rather than what you want to hear. Ill be there to be your uncompromising friend to tell you when you have food stuck in your teeth, or a boogey in your nose. I’ll tell you when you need to work harder, and when you need to make changes. Experience the difference. #capacitypowerefficiency
My training philosophies aren’t for everyone, but they are pretty simple. I provide the knowledge, the program, and the equipment. I provide the support I provide the education. I provide the honest feedback. I make the adjustments for your individual needs. You turn up. You do the work. You achieve the results. Experience the difference #capacitypowerefficiency
Developing long lasting habits is a process of appropriate and targeted programming. ••• The most common goal often identified by those wishing to start a health and fitness journey is weight loss, or general health and fitness. Both these goals are often attacked with high intensity training, and unrealistic eating plans. ••• Although high intensity training is a very viable method to use to achieve results initially, the results that are achieved will be short lived due to the individual not having the appropriate physiological adaptations necessary to allow for continued improvement. It would be like trying to put icing on a cake before it has been baked. ••• Coaches like @coachgambetta and @coachjoeljamieson provide great resources which guide programming @ultimateconditioning. ••• Everyone has different approaches to training. Long term success is mine, and it is built upon proven methods that work. ••• Experience the difference ••• #capacitypowerefficiency
Having a solid foundation is essential when working towards any health, fitness, or performance goals. ••• Ensuring the correct training methods are chosen will ensure the appropriate physiological, and psychological, adaptations will take place. ••• Early days at @ultimateconditioning we use training methods that will develop a trainees work capacity to help decrease injury risk, and improve weaknesses. Consistency, sound programming, and proper guidance are all key ingredients to get the desired outcome. ••• #capacitypowerefficiency
Consistency plays a pivotal role in success. The training undertaken at @ultimateconditioning is not sexy. It is not riddled with fad training methods, or any unnecessary pieces of exercise equipment. It is based upon tried and proven methods for strength, and energy system development. The most successful people who train at @ultimateconditioning are those who turn up week in and week out and complete the program with focus and intent. Be successful. Stay consistent.

The UC experience is all about creating realistic, and lasting lifestyle changes. Changes that are sustainable. Changes that are achievable. Changes that are REAL. ••• Testimonial: “I was referred to Trent by a good friend and was encouraged to meet with him. I had nothing to loose but everything to gain, so I went along with an open mind and listened to him and his story. I was blown away with his passion and level of commitment he has to his own health and his career. Trent’s experience and knowledge is invaluable and his honesty confronting, it was exactly what I needed to hear! Soon after our introduction I began my sessions. In the beginning my self doubt kept creeping in and I often doubted my ability and self worth. Trent is a great mentor and always pushes me mentally by challenging my thoughts. He continuously makes an effort to rewire my brain with a ‘can do’ attitude and offers valuable tips on how to create daily movement habits. The first few weeks were the hardest physically, but through perseverance and Trent’s guidance I stuck at it. The environment that Trent offers is unlike anywhere I have trained before. The small groups allow Trent to tailor sessions based on individual needs and goals. He prides himself on ensuring clients use correct technique in every move. He is always sweeping across the floor moving from person to person to improve technique to obtain maximum results and prevent injury. Trent’s approach is strict but fair, if you don’t believe in your own ability you can guarantee that he will. After 8 weeks of training I was down 10kg on the scales. With Trent’s help I have created a good mindset moving forward. I continue to set realistic progressive goals with Trent and I feel stronger, healthier and happier. With Trent’s support, encouragement, passion and expertise I am well on my way to being the best possible version of me I can be.” ••• Experience the difference ••• #UC #capacitypowerefficiency #UltimateConditioning #ultimateconditioningbacchusmarsh
