The Personal Touch
18 March 2009

Its 6am and it’s getting a bit chillos outside. Your alarm goes off and you hit the snooze button because the very thought of dragging your derrières out of snug bed and into the pumping gym is not top on your to-do list. The parking, the waiting for your treadmill, waiting for your shower, well it’s all too traumatic. In fact, as the mornings get darker and colder it seems unthinkable… almost irrational.

Ok, so your excuse works. But, and there’s a big butt, two rather sneaky (ok, actually clever) people have a solution which makes the above argument a bit difficult to back up.

Ashleigh and Donovan, two highly qualified and looking-the-part personal trainers are here to get you outta bed and into shape. Whichever comes first?

They are the brains behind, and owners of, Elite Trainers – a new concept fitness group where you don’t need to go to the gym at all (oh yay! yay!), rather the gym comes to you! (err.. okay so there’s no getting out of the exercise part)

All you need is a space to work out in, and proper training gear is of course essential. They bring everything else from the equipment, to the moves, to the energy and inspiration.

You begin with a sign up session (basically a “tell-all”) where your trainer will assess your fitness level, health history and if like this Bird, your list of “I don’t like this” and “I won’t do that”. They devise a personal workout routine based on your requirements and then its workies time! Each session is 45 minutes, just enough time to work you over, but not long enough to kill you.

**Birdy Num Num: ONE lucky Birdie reader can win 6 free sessions with Elite Trainers (that works out to a full month’s free fitness) E-mail mandi@thehummingbird.co.za and tell us why with winter coming up, you deserve it!
