What we love about our Longevity Clients

ByAshleigh Mead

This week is the first ever Client Appreciation Week at Longevity!

 

We wanted to start the week by letting you know how much we appreciate each and every one of you. Thank you for your continued support, in particular over the past couple of months.

Longevity is a community made up of such amazing people. We have compiled a list of our favourite things about our clients in celebration of you all this week.

What we love about Longevity Clients:

  • Adaptable –You continuously show that you are adaptable and flexible. This has most recently been highlighted during COVID-19 Gym Closures. The majority of you were willing to try an alternative training methods such as online and outdoors.

  • Dedicated –You are all very dedicated people. You turn up to your regular sessions every week (and some of you even train individually as well!) whilst sill fitting in all of your other commitments (dropping the kids to school, work, volunteering and caring for others).
  • Friendly and Welcoming – Longevity clients are particular warm, caring and friendly individuals. You are always willing to have a chat and make others feel welcome and included in conversations.

 

  • Value Health- The Longevity motto “Health comes first”, and all of our clients put their health first. By choosing to participate in regular exercise and take on advice from health professionals, you all demonstrate that you value your health.
  • Extended Community – Our Longevity clients have helped to form the community that we have today. This community also extends to your family, friends, neighbours and even pets. We love hearing your stories and meeting the people important to you.
  • Positive – It has been clear over the past few months what a positive group of people you all are. Everyone has continued to do the best they can and focus on positive future outcomes.   

  • Highly Skilled and Knowledgeable – You have amazing skills, knowledge, stories and experiences that you share with the team and the community. In some sessions we learn from you!
  • Generous – You demonstrate that you are generous. Generous with your time and energy. Many of you have demanding jobs and family/ carer responsibilities but still find time to chat, support and treat the Exercise Physiology team.
  • Vibrant, Energetic and Fun – You all bring a happy, fun energy to your sessions. This is what makes our job so great. Chatting and laughing with you all in the gym is one of our favourite things about our job.
  •  Resilient – COVID-19 has shown us all how resilient we are. In particular, you have continued rehabilitation, managed pain, and continued exercising despite heavy restrictions, isolation and gym closures.

We hope you all have a great week and enjoy some special exercise sessions with your Exercise Physiologists!

  • Why Trust and Rapport Matters

    ByJarrat Wood

    Last night I was privileged to attend a birthday party for one of my clients. I take it as a tremendous compliment when I am invited into their personal world for a social occasion and I think it is a testament to the profound effect that you have had on someone’s life. It is also an example of the point of difference a personal trainer has over other health industry professionals. What other professional can spend 3 hours completely focused on your health each week? You certainly won’t get it from your GP. You could get it from a surgeon, but you won’t get to see him/her on a regular basis. You could also spend that time with a physiotherapist, osteopath, chiropractor etc and it would serve you well but most people don’t venture into that level of regular contact with these professionals – and certainly not long term. This blog is not to serve to criticise other health professionals. Far from it. It is simply to outline the tremendous trust and rapport a personal trainer can build and why it makes a difference to your health.

  • Excellence is Not an Act, But a Habit

    ByJarrat Wood
    Some of you may recognize the title of this article as a paraphrased quote from Aristotle. The full quote attributed to the Greek philosopher is “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” It resonates with me as a personal trainer as day in, day out I see clients who are very good at what they do regularly and conversely have a weakness in the elements of their training they choose to ignore. This can be explained away quite simply as human nature. We have a natural tendency to avoid activities and/or exercises which cause us discomfort or are difficult. We also have a natural tendency to de drawn to the activities and/or exercises which we are good at and are comfortable with. This can be exacerbated in a gym setting where other people are watching and of course, no-one likes to feel embarrassed.
     
    So if we use Aristotle’s great wisdom and apply it to our training we need to start developing a habit and over time excellence is a very real possibility. Some would say it is even inevitable with enough time and effort. In this way a weakness can become a strength and something we don’t enjoy can become very enjoyable. This all comes down to planning and having a training schedule that deals with your strengths and weaknesses appropriately to achieve excellence. This week, I share the core components of my own training plain as a guide to how to do this:
