Small Steps for Fat Loss and Exercise Success

By Nick Mitchell • Apr 4th, 2008 • Category: London, passion, personal training

I was reminded by a personal training client today that success in the gym, or with any fat loss or bodybuilding regime for that matter, is a matter of small incremental steps forward. Of course I already know this - no one who has built a physique of their own can help but know […]



Successful Personal Training Clients

By Nick Mitchell • Apr 2nd, 2008 • Category: London, personal training

Successful personal training clients all share one commonality.
Its not great genetics for fat loss or muscle building. Its certainly not starting fitness levels. And if it were nutritional savvy then I don’t think I would have ever had a solitary personal training success. In fact, given the paucity of nutritional know how here […]



Biosignature Modulation- What Your Body Fat Says About You

By Nick Mitchell • Mar 23rd, 2008 • Category: Biosignature, bodybuilding, fat loss, personal training

Charles Poliquin’s unique and truly groundbreaking Biosignature Modulation analysis has allowed us to pinpoint our personal training clients’ hormonal imbalances and refine their exercise, nutritional and supplementation programmes to an unprecedented level.  If there is one key thing that I have learned about the body in the last 5 years it is Biosignature analysis and […]



Bodybuilding Personal Trainers

By Nick Mitchell • Mar 21st, 2008 • Category: London, bodybuilding, personal training

A constant theme of my life seems to be questions about what makes a good personal trainer. I am especially asked this of bodybuilder personal trainers - perhaps because the bodybuilder is a relative rarity in London so they stand out for scrutiny more, or perhaps even because some members of the public […]



Personal Trainers in London

By Nick Mitchell • Mar 19th, 2008 • Category: London, personal training

Calling all personal trainers in London!
It seems that there is a real shortage of good personal trainers in London these days. Try as we might to find the best trainers for our expanding business, we are struggling to find any really outstanding new candidates. Perhaps because I have always tried to […]



Structural & Muscular Balance

By Nick Mitchell • Mar 18th, 2008 • Category: personal training, structural balance

I am sat writing this from my chiropractor’s office in London’s Liverpool St area.  Laptop perched on a desk, a band wrapped around my bare torso, and underneath that band at the rear is some fancy laser contraption designed to reduce the inflamed tendons of my poor, aching rotator cuff.   Constant weekly trips for ART […]



Biosignature Modulation - personal training advice at its best!

By Nick Mitchell • Mar 3rd, 2008 • Category: Biosignature, London, bodybuilding, fat loss, personal training

I am increasingly being asked to perform Biosignature consultations on clients as wide and varied as professional bodybuilders through to middle aged housewives.  This is of course hugely pleasing for me as it demonstrates that great (no, make that spectacular)  results are more important in this business of personal training than any clever marketing plan […]



The best way to to get lean

By Nick Mitchell • Feb 18th, 2008 • Category: cardio, fat loss, female, personal training

The following is taken from my Personal Training Q&A Group and derives from this article on the best ways to get lean.
Q) Interesting comments there, Nick.
However I find this a little hard to believe, but only because I am so used (like everyone else) to the current established ways of thinking when it comes to […]



Craving success? Focus on what is important and don’t sweat the small stuff.

By Nick Mitchell • Feb 16th, 2008 • Category: Uncategorized, bodybuilding, dieting, personal training

Once in a while I come across some great words that echo my own thoughts exactly and make me wish that I had written the exact words that I am reading. This morning whilst waiting for my first personal training client of the day I had such a moment. Jason Brooks at www.elitefts.com […]
