In the world of fitness, strength training often gets overshadowed by the allure of cardio or high-intensity workouts. But at Physical Formula, we know that strength training is the cornerstone of fitness, whether you’re a beginner looking to improve your health or an elite athlete preparing for Hyrox.
Let’s dive into why strength training is essential for everyone and how it can transform not just your fitness, but your life.
Strength training involves exercises that improve your muscles’ ability to generate force. From lifting weights to using resistance bands, or even performing bodyweight movements like push-ups, strength training is adaptable to every fitness level and goal.
At Physical Formula, we incorporate a mix of Olympic lifts, compound movements, and functional exercises tailored to your current abilities and aspirations.
A. Boosts Longevity and Bone Health
B. Enhances Metabolism and Fat Loss
C. Improves Mental Health
D. Enhances Athletic Performance
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced athlete, strength training is for you. Here’s how we approach it at Physical Formula:
Myth 1: Strength Training Will Make You ‘Bulky’
Fact: Building significant muscle mass requires years of dedicated effort. Strength training will sculpt and tone your body, not bulk it up.
Myth 2: Cardio Is Better for Weight Loss
Fact: While cardio burns calories during exercise, strength training builds muscle that keeps burning calories long after you’ve finished.
Myth 3: It’s Not for Older Adults
Fact: Strength training is crucial for maintaining bone density, balance, and mobility as you age. It’s one of the best tools for longevity.
At Physical Formula, strength training isn’t just part of what we do—it’s at the heart of our programming. Here’s what sets us apart:

I love coming and on those days when I am tired I come and I still find myself digging deep and pushing through whereas before I would’ve held back now I don’t !” – Rae
“Finding my confidence is what has brought me back. I’ve never felt like I’m good enough or fit enough to take part in group competitions/activities & was always scared that I might be letting the team down. Whereas now I believe in myself and feel like I’m (almost) good enough.’ – Harj
