Brighton Personal Trainer

As a personal trainer in Brighton I wanted to create something that was inclusive. Gorilla Fitness is a nod to veganism. As Gorillas are extremely strong (much stronger than any human) & their diet is predominately vegan I wanted to demonstrate that it is not necessary to eat lots of meat in order to get stronger. I didn’t want to exclude anyone who isn’t vegan, so there isn’t lots of “you must be vegan” here, as that’s not what I am about. There is only encouragement & plenty of training options as well as help with “what do you vegans eat?”

If you want to improve health & fitness in Brighton then I can help you.

Online Personal Training has recently increased in popularity for obvious reasons. Health & exercise are as important (if not more important) than ever, due to the need for people to stay at home.

Gorilla Fitness now offers online personal training slots as well as online coaching & in person 1-2-1 training.

1-2-1 Personal Training in Brighton Good for people who prefer training face to face with a PT. Make sure you are doing exercises safely, maximise your results, keep motivated & also access the training app so you can also train by yourself in the gym or at home.

Well…believe it or not vegans eat ALL the same foods that omnivores/pescatarians/vegetarians SHOULD be eating just without the animal products. I would recommend a vegan diet to everyone for personal health benefits, environmental benefits and of course the benefits for the animals.

Brighton & Hove is a great place for a plant based diet as there are so many options more pop up all the time.

Gorilla Fitness is about longevity, so while I will push people as hard as they can on any given day when gym training, I am mindful of the bigger picture. Who cares if you once pulled a 300Kg deadlift if you back spasms when you tie your laces? Leave that stuff to powerlifters & strongmen (who I only have respect for) but for long term health benefits pushing your body to that kind of extreme can come at a price. The message here I think is train hard & train well & remember that you only get one body...so look after it, hopefully you’ll need it for a long time.

When lifting weights in the gym, consistent slow progress is good progress. When losing body fat, consistent slow progress is good progress.

I also wanted to help dispel the myth that vegans are skinny weak & malnourished. With Gorilla Fitness there is an opportunity to EVERYONE to train, regardless of their diet. I wanted to create an environment where anyone could compete, but not with each other, instead with themselves. Just be stronger, faster, leaner, heavier, healthier (whatever your personal fitness goal is) than you were yesterday.

For anybody that is still a doubter that you cannot get enough protein or perform at the highest level on a plant based diet, I urge you to watch The Game Changers (currently available on Netflix).
