NederlandsWomen especially struggle with this prejudice regarding strength training. However, women lack the necessary testosterone to build a lot of muscle mass. Also, the (very) muscular women in magazines/Instagram train at least 5x/week and for years combined with a specific diet/supplements. As a "normal" woman, strength training will provide a tighter body (firming/toning) without the same muscle mass as a man.

Weight Loss Training

Weight loss & training
The very best solution to lose weight permanently? People often start exercising with the main reason: to lose weight. But, exercising without an appropriate diet does not quickly lead to the desired results.
Losing weight does not work well without including 3 elements: (healthy) nutrition, strength training and cardio.
"You cannot out-train a bad diet" ... A proverb that rings true. No amount of training can fix a poor diet.
Replacing refined products, focus on lean meats, vegetables, healthy fats, etc. is a requirement not only to lose weight but certainly to lose weight permanently.
Healthy nutrition determines 60% of your results, and often a few small adjustments in your breakfast and snacks will help you see results.
Depending on your fitness level and your needs, we build this up at your own pace and vary the exercises (standard strength training, circuit training, bodyweight, etc.). For the concerned woman: no, strength training will not make you a bodybuilder!
Losing weight with cardio training can be done in different ways and intensity levels. It used to be recommended to train for an hour or an hour and a half on a cross trainer at a low or medium intensity. Nowadays, there is a new method where you train at a higher intensity in a shorter period of time.
Depending on your fitness level and preference, we will determine together the best form of cardio and method. It is important to choose a cardio workout that comes easily to you or that you somewhat enjoy in order to stay motivated.

Misconceptions regarding strength training
Research has just shown that strength training or a combination of strength training and cardio is the most efficient way to lose weight. Cardio certainly makes sense - including to improve your endurance - but by itself is not the most efficient or fast way to lose weight. For advanced athletes, HIIT and/or circuit training offers the same benefits as traditional steady-state cardio with a shorter yet more intense effort.

Motivation
A Personal Trainer motivates
Consistency is vital for weight loss, and staying motivated can be difficult when you train alone. But regular sessions with a qualified trainer can fuel your motivation and help you reach your goals. Even if you don't use your trainer for every session, it can motivate you to train when you know you'll see them soon. Plus, you also get a chance to show them what improvements you've made since your last session together.
Variation Factor
A Personal Trainer varies
Weight loss with a personal trainer is more than running on a treadmill or repeating squats. Fitness regimens quickly become monotonous, causing us to get bored and stop exercising. A personal trainer can teach you different exercises that will keep you motivated. If a particular exercise does not work for you, your trainer can replace it with an exercise that offers the same physical benefits but suits you better.

His impact goes far beyond physical fitness. Redert takes a rather holistic approach. In addition to starting physical training regimens, there is also a focus on adapted nutritional regimens and promoting an overall healthier lifestyle. I am now much more aware of what I eat, my sleep, and generally live a healthier life. And this actually without feeling like I have had to compromise on my daily life or comfort, at most a few emphases were shifted.
Katrien
Redert is a great coach and a very good listener, he finds it very important to tailor the plan to your needs. His personal approach, in which he takes into account the indicated limits, but also pushes those limits at the right moments, I appreciated that enormously, but it was also his positive attitude, contagious enthusiasm, and his warm professionalism that made me gladly persevere, and return.
Saskia
For 7 years I have enjoyed coming to training sessions. My ambition is mainly to stay fit and muscular despite a fairly injured knee and weak back. Goals are set and achieved ! Not without energetic coaching AND efforts of course ! In addition, Redert has a perfect feel for how to get that 'extra mile' out of you without injury. I have been a fan from the very beginning.
Kathlien
With Redert, you never feel like a number. He fully adapts his approach to your wishes and needs, and also shows a genuine interest in who you are as a person. After three years, I am very happy with the progress I have made, and with the help of his coaching I want to continue working. So if you have any doubts about whether you want coaching, I can only say wholeheartedly: definitely do it! You won't regret it!
Sam
3 years ago I came to Redert with severe back problems (herniated disc). After a few mobilization & stabilization sessions, I was completely pain free very quickly! Meanwhile, Redert is still my regular coach for my full body workout 2 times a week! For me Redert is really top!!!
