GEURTS GYM PERSONAL TRAINING
Margunn Geurtjens, together with husband David, own, manage and run their private personal training business in a studio based in Leschenault, near Bunbury, Western Australia. Geurts Gym Personal Training focus on the passion of assisting clients to build and implement a sustainable routine, based on one to one or small group consultation and support, developing strength and conditioning.
Originally from Norway, Margunn, David and their young family moved out to Australia about seven years ago for a change in direction and to be closer to David’ s family in New Zealand. This also lead to a change in career focus as well and in 2013, Margunn became fully qualified in Personal Training and eventually, after working in a variety of locations, decided to work from home base. Working in an industry that promotes better health is something that both Margunn and David are grateful for and to educate, train and help others improve their life through training has had many personal rewards. They still have many of their loyal clients since the business was first established over four years ago.
To add to their credentials, both Margunn and David are qualified Strength and Conditioning coaches, HIRT Coaches and Lift for Life Coaches with additional training in Nutrition for Sport and Exercise. Both are huge advocates of resistance training for the general population, defying the misconception that weight training is only for body builders and power lifters. This business is based on the philosophy that everyone, regardless of age, gender or fitness level CAN and WILL benefit from this training practice, given the opportunity under the right instruction.
Medical evidence supports Margunn in stating that training is the most underutilised anti-depressant and stress relief reliever in society today. Results have also shown that people suffering from Diabetes and other chronic illnesses and those with Sarcopenia,( age related loss of muscle mass, strength and balance in older adults), experience a stronger health outcome with a personalized and supportive training program and environment. Training gives a sense of mastery that result in greater self-esteem and confidence. This, along with a healthy life focus is what we want for our clients.
