How the Growing Younger personal training gym
​Can Help you Get Back to your Former Self

If you feel like you've got less energy during the day than you used to, and that it takes you a little longer these days to recover from exercise, the Growing Younger Program could be what you've been looking for.

Flexible meal Plans

After working with close to 1000 people over 40 on their health and fitness goals, the one thing that makes the most significant difference is diet. Whether you are a fantastic cook or you only have the basics covered, one thing is for sure. You're going to be eating every day of your life, so with a flexible meal plan that focuses on potion sizes and learning how to do it properly is going to be key to weight-loss, energy and muscle building.

Personal Training

The one to one relationship with a trainer is a fantastic option if you need help to work safely around an ongoing injury. Similarly, if you have a chronic health concern that you think would be easier to manage in-person, personal training is a way to enjoy your training, stay motivated and get immediate feedback on how you're doing in your session. 

Accountability 

Accountability is paramount for individuals over 40 embarking on a health journey due to increased responsibilities, changing metabolism, and the heightened risk of health issues associated with aging. Having someone to hold them accountable provides the support, motivation, and guidance needed to overcome mindset barriers, establish consistent habits, and achieve long-term success in improving their health and well-being.

Meet the Team

We’re Alex and Gavyn, founders of Growing Younger. Alex is our in-house physiotherapist, and I’m the head coach. After losing 20kg and keeping it off for over a decade, I’m not your typical personal trainer. My journey started after sustaining an injury that led to eight knee surgeries — the road to recovery was long and brutal.

I saw firsthand how people living with chronic, ongoing pain were being overlooked & ignored by the fitness industry. That’s when I knew I had found my calling.

I love working with clients who are truly committed to their health and understand that it’s about more than just a six-pack.

Alex has been serving the Howick community since 2010, and together, we make a great team. We’ll assess your current level of fitness, identify areas of weakness, and create a tailored plan that not only helps you achieve your goals but also focuses on injury prevention and rehabilitation. And if you're currently dealing with an injury, we can work around it—and in many cases, help you overcome it.​
