Personal Training Done Differently
We've noticed a trend in the industry where people get too reliant on their trainers—they do every session together and have all the thinking done for them. But when life changes and they train on their own, progress drops off because good habits weren't built in the first place.
At Deken Strong, we focus on educating clients to train confidently by themselves. That's why we only do fortnightly or weekly 1:1 sessions, with a program to follow outside them. We also run Saturday team training sessions (11am–12:30pm) for extra in-person support.
Only available to members of Proraw Gym.
