I don’t like gyms… outside of the gym thinking.

Yes we hear that all the time, and yes for the most part we agree. Big box commercial gyms are not everyone’s cup of tea, but they are right for some people. We love working with clients who’s goals are set firmly outside of the gym.

If your goal is to deadlift 700lbs then we are probably not the right facility for you. If you are an Olympic cyclist and in the course of your explosive training you get up to deadlifting 700lbs then welcome to The Wolf Studio.

There are not many serious runners who do all of their training on a treadmill, treadmills will make up some of their training but only a small percentage. Cyclists will use the indoor trainer for some workouts but this is seen as a necessary evil rather than their exclusive training tool.

Gyms are useful to help you become fitter, faster, stronger and more injury resistant, that is why we set up The Wolf Studio. By combining exercise, bodywork and taping we can help clients at all levels achieve their goals.

Training for the sake of training is inherently dissatisfying and we find that those clients who come in with these goals actually have a deeper goal that they think will be achieved by just doing some work in the gym. A client who’s goal is to squat their bodyweight may actually think that if they can do this then their friends won’t laugh at their sparrow legs, a lady who wants to do do circuit training every day may actually have the goal of impressing her mother in law by losing that baby weight faster. If you can focus on a goal outside of the gym then you will find that your gym training is easier and more profitable. 

Most of our clients are made to think hard about their goals and when you drill down we always find that their goals reside outside of the gym, whether it is a performance goal or just wanting to feel more confident in their own skin.

Train to live rather than live to train!
