In 2016, we opened the doors to pH.7 Life In Balance, to create a non-judgmental training environment where anyone - whether they are a pro-athlete or a beginner to exercise, can feel comfortable and thrive.
Over the years, we have crafted a philosophy around health, fitness, and wellbeing where a balanced and sustainable approach is promoted above all else.
We now have a flourishing fitness community reaping the benefits of this approach and we passionately believe that, through good coaching and scientifically backed health education, we can shift mindset around health and fitness, so that building long term consistent habits (over short-term fixes) becomes the norm.
OUR MISSION
OUR 7 CORE VALUES
Fitness
Our tailored gym programmes will improve your cardiovascular fitness, total body strength, body composition, balance, co-ordination, posture, core strength and mobility. Both during and outside of your sessions, you will receive goal setting guidance and regular re-assessments to track your progress.
Movement
The modern lifestyle is not conducive to natural movement. Hours of sitting down, leaning over a computer, cranking our necks to read our smart phones, and many other unnatural, repetitive movements are creating multiple muscle and postural imbalances throughout the body – which manifest themselves as pain. A thorough analysis of how you move and how you stand will guide us in correcting these imbalances to help you move more efficiently and comfortably.
Nutrition
What you feed your body is vital in achieving your fitness and lifestyle goals, as well as being intrinsically linked to how you feel. We offer nutrition coaching services to educate you on the basics of nutrition and help you introduce new, healthier eating habits into your lifestyle for the long term.
Strength
Developing core strength and optimum posture, and learning foundational strength movements such as how to squat, deadlift, lunge, push, pull and twist, will allow you to develop total body strength. This teaches you how to hold your body in its most stable position, enabling more efficient function as well as improving your body composition, bone density, metabolic function, and of course reducing the risk of injury.
Health
At pH.7 we promote a holistic view of your health. This means we believe that to improve your health and achieve ‘life in balance’, you must look at all factors affecting your health – including what physical activity you are doing, what chronic pain you might be managing, what environmental factors are influencing your health, what you are putting into your body for fuel and how you are managing your stress levels and emotional health.
Recovery
Recovery is an essential component of any health and fitness regime. This includes understanding how not to over-exercise, taking regular massage or learning about myofascial release techniques, improving your sleep quality and managing your stress correctly. But it also includes rehabilitation from injury and chronic illness. Over the years we have helped many people recover in this sense through corrective exercise prescription and incorporating appropriate exercise and lifestyle changes.
Education
Our philosophy rests upon educating our clients on how to improve their health for the long term by integrating new positive, healthy habits into their lifestyle. We will always prefer to teach rather than dictate – after all, your best chance of success comes from learning how to look after your own health.
