Success Stories
"I have finally found a form of exercise that I actually enjoy with TransformHers bootcamps. I have almost dropped a whole pant size (a lot of my clothes are too big now!) and feel great after each session. It also gives me an opportunity to get outdoors more during the week which doesn't normally happen with my usual work routine."

"Never before have I enjoyed my training sessions. I have been with TransformHERS for two months and will be signing up again for the next camp. Training with Ru is such a pleasure, I'm already seeing a difference -still a long way to go but I will get there. "
Thandi Mpanza
"Thank you for getting me back into exercise. I had not done formal exercise for about 10 years, so what a shock to the system to get straight into it. I really enjoy the sessions even though they were tough and hard. I have felt a significant difference in the tone of my body and was pleased to see my progress at the end of the programme. I am even craving exercise and do long walks and specific body training (learnt in the sessions) everyday. "

"I really enjoyed my experience at TransformHERS. It was awesome, tough at times, but so much fun. Our trainer Sibi was great and nice to meet new people! Would recommend it to anyone wanting a great work out and have a laugh!"

Free Weights - by Kinetics.co.za

Categories: Health, Fitness

Free weights include a component of versatility. They are more varied and creative.
Free weights are particularly important in rehabilitation as they can be easily adapted in their use, direction and weight (resistance applied).

Free weights are more functional, in that they can be incorporated and trained into motions we perform in our daily life, such as sitting, bending and walking. This is important in rehabilitation as the aim is to generally gain strength and functionality in movements we perform in daily activities throughout the day.
Free weights also allow the whole body to be trained. By supporting one’s own body, both the large and smaller muscle groups will be used.
 
Free weights can however pose some risk when it comes to learning the exercises. Instruction from a trained professional is often needed and a degree of co-ordination and control has to implemented and learnt. Without the necessary guidance, the possibility of attaining an injury is increased. That is why is always important to have the assistance of a trained professional, such as a Biokineticist.
