Trying to make sense of all the different types of workouts can be overwhelming when you're just starting to get active. But here’s the good news: at Grit N Grind Fitness, we keep it simple. We design personalized training programs built around seven essential movements that everyone should master: squatting, hinging, pushing, pulling, lunging, rotating, and walking. These movements aren’t just for athletes—they’re the foundation for a stronger, more mobile you, no matter your fitness level. By focusing on these natural movements, we help your body work more efficiently, boosting flexibility, mobility, and overall strength. So forget about complicated exercises and focus on the basics to set yourself up for long-term success and a better quality of life!
Total Body Training
​
For years, training individual muscle groups in isolation has been the norm, and while that approach has its benefits, nothing beats the power of a total body workout. A full-body focus not only makes your workouts more functional and practical for real life, but it also delivers long-term benefits you just can’t get from targeting single muscles. Total body training, combined with consistent frequency, helps build strength across your entire muscular system, burns fat, boosts flexibility, and reduces the risk of injury. The secret? Compound movements that engage multiple muscle groups at once, making your body work as one cohesive unit. While isolation exercises like bicep curls and tricep extensions are included, they serve as support to enhance your overall performance and strengthen the connection between your body’s movements. Get ready for a more efficient, powerful, and injury-resistant you!
FAQ
How many days per week do I need to work out?
To get the best results, we recommend committing to resistance training 2-4 times per week. Whether you’re working towards weight loss, strength, or overall fitness, this frequency works for all goals. But hey, anything is better than nothing! We’re here to help clients of all fitness levels, so we’ll work with you to make it fit your schedule.
​
Should I eat before I workout?
Absolutely! Fueling your body before a workout is key. We suggest something light like almonds, a small cup of Greek yogurt with fruit, or a banana. Just avoid heavy meals, as they can leave you feeling sluggish or nauseous during your workout.
​
How frequently should I see a trainer?
We recommend at least twice a week with a trainer to build a solid foundation of proper form and technique. Life happens, so we understand if your schedule doesn’t always line up. Whether it’s once a week or more, having a trainer guide you will help you get the most out of your fitness journey.
​
How quickly will I see the results of my training?
Results vary based on your lifestyle, including things like sleep, nutrition, and stress levels. Most people start seeing internal changes within the first 1-3 months. Expect visible changes (like inches lost) in the 3-6 month range, and by the end of 6 months, you'll notice significant progress. It’s not a one-size-fits-all timeline, but this is a good guideline to set expectations.
​
Which should I do first: cardio or weights?
Weights first, always! Resistance training is the foundation of any fitness goal. Whether you’re building muscle or burning fat, lifting weights sends the right signals to your body. Plus, weight training has an “afterburn” effect, meaning you’ll keep burning fat long after your workout is done—24 to 48 hours, to be exact!
​
What's the best diet for weight loss?
The best diet is one that’s sustainable and focuses on whole, unprocessed foods. Ditching the processed stuff can make a big difference, but ultimately, the best plan is one that’s balanced and works for your lifestyle. Stick with something you can maintain, and you’ll see the results you want.
