One of the more popular services from Active8 in recent months has been our longevity-focused fitness training in Bristol.
And although we haven’t discussed our longevity-based training programmes in Henleaze and Clifton here before, it is worth highlighting what is available.
Longevity-focused fitness training from our Bristol PTs is not just for older clients. In fact, more and more people in their 30s and 40s are utilising it.
What is longevity-focused fitness training?
Longevity-focused fitness training at Active8 in Bristol combines strength workouts, cardio sessions, mobility exercises and stability work.
This combination is designed to maintain independence and enhance a client’s lifespan and quality of movement. It is not about physical aesthetics.
What are the main components of a longevity-based exercise programme?
Key elements of a longevity-centred training programme in Bristol at our gyms include compound lifting up to three times per week, cardio for around five hours a week and daily movement.
Why should you consider longevity-focused personal training?
This type of fitness programme is successful at preventing muscle loss, improving core strength and ensuring long-term mobility for older clients.
What do Active8 trainers deliver in longevity-based workouts?
Our qualified and professional personal trainers in Bristol provide bespoke and targeted longevity-based workouts for clients of all ages, including:
Strength training – this is vital for fighting age-related muscle loss (called sarcopenia) and to support bone density in ageing. We recommend exercises such as squats, deadlifts, lunges, and overhead presses.
Cardio training – a strong aerobic base is critical (Zone 2) for metabolic health and fat oxidation. This is also combined at our Bristol gyms with high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to improve VO2 max.
This is a key indicator of mortality risk – find out more here.
Mobility exercises – daily movement through activities such as Yoga and Pilates, as well as dynamic stretching, will help clients to maintain a fuller range of motion, enhance muscle tissue quality and reduce injury risk.
Core stability & balance – our personal trainers also incorporate core strength and stability exercises into all longevity-focused fitness training in Bristol. This improves balance and personal independence.
What is the aim of a longevity-based workout programme?
Our Bristol PTs are focused on providing a specific end goal with every longevity-based workout programme.
This type of bespoke fitness training mimics daily life, and focuses on movement patterns such as lifting objects, pushing, pulling and hinging.
A good longevity-focused workout will revolve around enhancing functional capacity and ensuring longevity in movement for older clients over time.
