80's Disco Workout, The British Heart Foundation and Racing Heart Rates

They're all coming to RWL!

As you know we're all about 'Embracing and Driving Change' 

All of the programs we create for you are based around science and real world application, however, we are always asking ourselves one question -

"How can we make our programs faster, better and more accurate at getting real time results?"

Thinking about the above question we also asked ourselves this - 

"Time is limited in the gym, so how can we maximise this time enough and ensure that we are creating a maximum metabolic disturbance for members' programs?"

You see, your time is valuable; even more valuable when it comes to training in the gym because at the most the majority of you have only 1-2 times per week to train. Having done the maths on this, it equates to about 1% of your total time across any given week.

"What can we do then to focus on maximising this 1%?"

In some people's eyes, this 1% needs to make you feel that your receiving a maximum return for your time, effort and investment whilst at the gym. It's especially important that we scrutinise this even more!

In a moment I'll show you what we have planned for you...

But before I do I would like to see how many of you would be interested in attending an 'old school 80's disco workout to help us launch this new service at RWL?

I can just imagine how fun it will be, Jeff and Sam in luminous stockings and sweat bands !! 
Now, that would be a reason more than anything to see those pair dressed up, especially if this picture is anything to go by? 



If you are interested in us doing something like this, just leave us a comment below and I'll get right too it!

It'll be on Friday 1st November, if you would be up for that?

Now, back to where I started...

1%.. I still cant get my head around that, it's crazy! Now, the question that you are probably thinking is "Joe, exactly how do you plan on maximising my time in the gym when the programs you deliver are already written by an award winning coach, and although the team of experts you have are small, as a team it is both informative and knowledgeable?" 

Blown our own trumpet there for a minute then :)

Well, you just wait there my friend... here's my wicked plan!

Over the last few months we've been working tirelessly with Polar who are undoubtedly the pioneers when it comes to heart rate training. You've probably seen the heart rate watches before or you may have tried monitoring your heart rate on a cardio machine back in the day before you met us. Basically, it is a geeky way of monitoring your workout intensity via your own heart rate and there are different zones that you can train in etc. 

Polar have devised a group training system by the name of Polar Gx. Here is an example here - 

 

Not bad right? 

Our programs are also based on this theory, and backed by the science of post exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC), and to have the opportunity for a heart rate monitored training program designed to keep your heart in a specific target zone that would further stimulate your metabolism and increase your calorie burning is EXACTLY the sort of thing we were looking for to provide you with the faster, better and more accurate result!!

So, instead of us just motivating you to push yourself until challenged, the aim for you now is to hit your target heart rate by the time your workout is complete. 

We've adopted the Polar Gx system and made some minor adjustments to enable us to monitor you individually. 

It enables us to individually set your heart rate and training zones that concur with your personal program. You just have to log in once and it will then log you in automatically as soon as you step through the front door. Everytime.


It helps us track each client's heart rate - you get your very own heart rate sensor.

The Heart Rate Sensor

It enables us to see what intensity you are working towards throughout the whole training session which will only motivate you even more when you are here and it provides us coaches a ton of data to keep you accountable to.

Heart rates, intensities are shown in real time, on a screen in the gym.


Even though your namer is displayed alongside everyone else's it doesn't mean you will be competing against anyone else, you'll just be competing against yourself.  The others will be there to just help motivate you. Plus the other heart rates are not your own - remember it is set on your personal data no one else's.

We both can analyse the data.


Have we sold it to you yet :)

If you've read this far you must be intrigued by it. As you may have noticed I get especially excited over things like this... geek!!!

What I like most about this is the fact that after every training session you complete, a copy of your stats will be emailed to you. There are all sorts of apps also available that work alongside this which enable us to design home programs and monitor your intensity whilst you are away from the gym. 

The example below show's you  comparing against other members, but you can also compare your own training sessions. 



Your probably thinking... "Enough, enough Joe, how do I get my hands on this?"

Well, we plan to launch this on Friday 1st November alongside our disco workout but if you cannot wait till then and you want to get started right away we are doing a special promotion.

And that is - If you purchase one now, or before the launch event we will donate 10% of the sales to the British Heart Foundation.

Here is the link to pre order your H7 Heart Rate Sensor now - Please order my H7 Heart Rate Sensor

Again 10% of all sales will be donated to the British Heart Foundation

If you are still unsure, then we are going to be demonstrating the full benefits of the Polar Heart Rate System the week commencing the 21st October for a whole week. 

If you could just let us know in advance if you are thinking of demoing this then we can prepare this for you. We have a set of trial heart rate sensor's on order so no need to worry about purchasing one. 

A coach will demonstrate how the heart rate monitor system works in a live training session with yourself.

To recap, here are the main benefits:
  • More consistency in your workouts
  • Burn calories up to 38 hours post workout
  • Faster and better results
  • Scientifically designed and tracked
  •  Extra motivation to break through plateaus
  • Individualised
And that's all!

If you have any questions about any of the above, please leave a comment or drop me an email. 

Joe

P.S. If you are dead serious about attending the launch party do let me know so that I can gather how many can make it.
