How long have you been a member of RSG?
I’ve been training at RSG for over a year now, and it’s been a fantastic year. I’m stronger, fitter and leaner, to the tune of over 10kg already.
What do you enjoy about RSG?
The training sessions are not only enjoyable, but the effort the coaches go through to help you and keep you on course is insane. Ant and Sarah take the time to get to know everyone and help with diets, motivation, techique and they push you to be better every day. Their knowledge and enthusiatic personalties help keep you motivated at every step, if you having troubles, they will take the time to coach you towards your goals. They also do a fantastic job of creating a team atmosphere.
What were your first impressions of RSG?
At first i’ll admit i was skeptical of training in a group, i like to do my own thing in the gym. After 6 weeks though i was loving it, and i dont think i’d want to go back to training on my own in a “normal” gym.
What results have you achieved?
In addition to losing over 10kg, my strength has improved over all of the three powerlifts. My Squat has increased from 100kg to 185kg, Bench Press from 100kg to 145kg and Deadlift from 170kg to 225kg. Because of the amazing results I was seeing in the main Rise program, I joined their powerlifting specific program ‘Strong’ to work on my technique.
Again the coaches really knew their stuff, and before i knew it i was competing in amateur powerlifting competitions as well. The sessions themselves are always different and provide a different challenge to the other sessions. I’d always avoided pushing to my maximum through fear of injury and failure. However since attending the ‘Strong’ sessions, i feel confident that i can push to my limit and if i fail, the coaches will be there to catch me (metaphorically and literally).
What would you say to someone thinking about starting at RSG?
It’s no exaggeration that joining RSG was the best decision I ever made, it has genuinely changed my life.
