Dax Moy Personal Training, the UK's Premier Personal Trainer and his elite team in Islington, London
The Power Priciples
Imagine having a psychologist, life-coach, physical therapist,
nutritionist, personal trainer and masseuse to look after your every
physical and psychological need.
Do you think that with this kind of
support in your life that you could at last achieve the physical
condition and well-being that you've always wanted?
I bet you could. After all, how could you possibly fail with all of these experts on your side?
Well, we don't claim to BE all of these things (though our
certifications do cover many of these skills) but through Dax's
extensive research and our commitment to continuing education we have
managed to draw from the very best that each of these highly trained
practitioners have to offer.
What are THE POWER PRINCIPLES TM?
P.O.W.E.R represents:
Psychology
Fully 80% of all success begins and ends with the mind. The old saying
'if you can conceive it, you can achieve it' has more truth than most people
realise and represents one of the most powerful weapons that we possess in the
battle to regain control of our failing health and flagging spirits. And yet,
as we all know, motivation is so much more than simply thinking positively.
You've got to believe that success is possible before you can fully commit
to your new lifestyle.
This is where most attempts at changing health and fitness behaviours fail.
Often, fitness programmes and dietary regimes are created with limited vision
and are doomed to failure from the start.
Conversely, our consultants use techniques that are normally reserved for elite
athletes to help you to:
-
Identify goals that inspire, motivate and challenge you to achieve
bigger and better things than you ever thought possible
-
'Plan the route' so that you know when, where and how you'll arrive
at your 'destination' or goal
-
Identify barriers or roadblocks to your success so that you'll be
better prepared and more able to deal with them when they arise
-
Programme your subconscious and 'super-conscious' minds so that they
act like a kind of auto pilot seeking out anything and everything that'll
help you to achieve your aims
-
Use positive 'self-talk' to re-programme your beliefs about your
limitations
Make no mistake, EVERY single time that you've been unsuccessful in
ANY area of your life it's because you've not been able unlock the power
within the most powerful supercomputer in existence - Your mind.
We'll help you to make that possible!
Optimal Alignment
Do you suffer from pains that just never seem to go away?
Have you spent a fortune on chiropractors, osteopaths, physiotherapists
and yet still suffer from neck, back and shoulder pain?
Have you spent years on cocktails of prescription or over the counter drugs in order to control your pain?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions then you're not
alone. An often quoted statistic claims that at any given time more
than 80% of us are suffering pain syndromes of one form or another.
It's not surprising!
The human body is basically a movement machine designed to bend, twist,
reach, push, pull and carry in all manner of environments and with all
manner of loads. It not only wants this stimulation.It NEEDS IT!
This need is in stark contrast to the way
most of us use our bodies' day in, day out with the average person now
spending in excess of 22 hours per day either sitting down or sleeping.
The result of all of this inactivity?
Poor posture - Chronic fatigue - Poor digestion - Chronic Pain
Basically hypokinesis or less than normal movement creates adaptation
patterns within our neurological, muscular and skeletal systems that
literally bend and contort our bodies into pain provoking positions
that lead to further problems in the function of our internal organs.
Our experts use Dax's patented
Kinetic Chain Assessment
to gauge how your body copes with the day to day demands of your
current lifestyle and prepare you for the physical challenges ahead of
you.
The information gained from this assessment will be used
to create the very first stage of your conditioning programme - your
corrective exercise plan.
Forget about traditional exercise, Corrective
exercise is about alignment and posture. We'll formulate a stretching
plan to elongate shortened muscles that are actively pulling you into
bad postures whilst concurrently strengthening the muscles that have
become weakened through disuse.
The result is a better posture that carries
load more efficiently, with less effort and no pain, even after years
of suffering.
Water Intake
The subject of water intake and hydration levels has
been the focus of numerous research studies in recent years. As a
result many people are attempting to drink more water as part of their
daily routine yet many more are still oblivious to the medicinal
qualities of the most abundant resource available on earth.
Water provides our bodies with the necessary
foundation from which ALL biochemical reactions occur. Dehydration can
cause our systems to become more acid or alkaline disrupting the normal
rate at which chemical reactions take place. This disruption can cause:
- Obesity
- Asthma
- Allergies
- Diabetes
- Angina
- Arthritis
- Backache
- Stress
- High cholesterol
- Hypertension
Simply drinking more water is helpful to most of us yet ingesting the
right amount and the right type of water at the right time can help you
to achieve far more.
During your nutrition and lifestyle
assessment our experts will assess not only the quantity but also the
quality and frequency of your water intake advising you on obtaining
optimal fluid ingestion in order to create optimal biochemical balance.
This one technique alone often creates results that many prescription drugs find hard to achieve!
Energy In vs Energy Out
Have you ever noticed how many books on diet and
nutrition line the shelves of our bookstores? The count runs to
literally thousands and all of them promising to offer the 'secrets' to
finally control our weight and achieve the bodies that we desire.
Interestingly, all of these books claim to be
backed by science and offer convincing arguments for following their
practices yet they all offer conflicting advice; some claim that high
protein is the way ahead whilst others claim the exact opposite so what
are we to believe?
Well, the answer is simple really. There is no ONE diet that will work for everyone.
We're all different!
Just as no two people have the same fingerprints or Iris patterns so
too are we different in other ways. Our chemical makeup varies from
person to person (this is evident in our skin tone, hair colour, blood
groups, body odours etc) and as such is directly affected by the foods
we eat.
We are all very much aware that mixing any
two chemicals together will create a specific response based upon the
relative amount of each. As humans we are not exempted from this
process. We are merely a collection of chemical compounds (as are the
foods we eat) that respond in a similar way to any other chemicals.
Do you know anyone who reacts badly to eating
any particular foods like seafood, yeast, wheat or dairy? Why do you
think that is? What about the recent 'may contain nuts' warnings on
many of our pre-packaged foods? Why should these foods cause us
problems? Are they 'bad' for us? '. No, not everyone. Only those
individual's whose unique biochemistry reacts badly to the chemicals
within those foods.
You could think of it as being like putting diesel in your petrol-engined car. It won't like it!
Through our unique Biochemical Individuality Assessment our experts can
create customised nutrition plans that compliment your own unique
biochemistry. The result is a supportive nutritional plan that helps
your body to function at it's best by giving your system the right
fuel.
Your programme will detail:
- What to eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks
- WHEN to eat
- HOW to clean, prepare and cook your meals
- Foods to avoid
- Detoxification strategies for cleaning up your 'contaminated' biochemistry
In addition you'll learn how to identify problematic foods through mood
swings, bowel irregularities and musculoskeletal pain.
The result is the Rolls Royce of Nutrition advice that few of us are ever privileged enough to receive.
Energy Out
We all know that regular activity is vital to
maintaining optimal health yet for many of us there is confusion about
what kind of activity provides the best long-term results.
The exercise industry is steeped in mythology
surrounding the type, amount and frequency of activity that we should
engage in.
Indeed, many of our gyms are now using
equipment that is so out of phase with the human body's true function
that they are actually contributing to dysfunctional movements and pain
syndromes!
Our experts utilise Dax's patented F.I.T
System TM to provide functionally integrated training that complements
the biomechanical and neurological function of your body to create
strength, flexibility and endurance without adding unnecessary muscle
bulk (unless we want to).
The result is a system that follows Dax's
'600 Rule' (There are over 600 muscles in the human body) using more
muscle in every workout to create stronger, leaner bodies than
traditional gym-based training.
Recovery and Regeneration (R and R)
Whilst physical activity and good nutrition is
obviously important for obtaining optimal health so too is recovery and
regeneration, though this critical ingredient is often overlooked in
traditional physical preparation and nutrition programmes.
This is a HUGE mistake!
R and R is when the body actually improves, NOT DURING EXERCISE. It is
during this vital phase that the body repairs from the stress applied
to it and comes back stronger and more efficient for the next bout of
activity. Failure to recover completely can lead to:
- Repetitive strains
- Fatigue
- Sleeplessness
- Nervousness
- Muscle wasting
- Fat deposit
- Stress
- Apathy
All of which will detract from your ability to achieve your long-term goals.
Our experts will advise you on:
- Optimal post-workout nutrition
- Relaxation techniques
- Massage and stretch therapy
- How to optimise your sleep cycles to maximise hormone output
- Using heat and ice to aid recovery
And much more.
Summary
Clearly, THE POWER PRINCIPLES TM are much more than
just another personal training programme. Each component part in itself
is packed with performance enhancing potential, yet it is the
synergistic effect of ALL these principles that create the amazing
results attained by our clients.
One day, we hope that all personal training
will be conducted this way but until then the only personal trainers in
London or the UK using this approach can be found within the team at
Dax Moy Personal Training Studios TM.
We would love for you to experience THE POWER
PRINCIPLES TM for yourself but we must stress that this approach isn't
for everyone.
Though we often achieve dramatic results with
our clients within a short period of time, it is in the longer term
that THE POWER PRINCIPLES TM really come into their own. For this
reason we require all of our clients to commit to a minimum of three
months on our programmes.
This takes a lot of effort. Undoing the
habits of a lifetime is hard work and is not for everyone, yet for
those who do commit the benefits are almost unlimited.
We invite you, whatever your sex, age or
requirements to contact us to discuss how and if THE POWER PRINCIPLES
TM can help you to join the growing list of those who have already felt
the POWER.
