I always say, the environment you workout in is just as important as the exercises you do.

And UST’s private training studio is the ideal place to help maximize every session.

No crowds or waiting for equipment = no wasted time, unlike in a crowded gym.

When you combine this with structured workouts created just for you, it = Results!

At UST Personal Training there’s no such thing as crowds, waiting for equipment or showing up for a workout without a plan.

My clients know the second they walk through one of our 3 private training rooms or onto our private outdoor turf area, it’s on and popping.

This is the place where time works for you rather than against you like in a busy gym.

✅No stress planning workouts

Is it most effective to perform cardio before or after weight training?

In my experience, the optimal approach depends on individual goals.

Personally, I prefer to do cardio after weight training so I can undertake strength training when I'm fresh, thereby allowing for maximum intensity.

Additionally, since glycogen is primarily used as fuel during weight training, subsequent cardio sessions can more easily tap into fat stores for energy.

I followed this protocol prepping for shoots and still do so anytime I’m in a cutting phase, as for me it works best.

And remember, since there is no cookie cutter that works for everyone as an individual, the best way to find out what works best for you is to experiment and see for yourself.

What’s your favorite type of cardio?

The most straightforward nutritional hack for getting and staying fit.

Before I started lifting people would make fun of me for me for being skinny and call me names like “stick boy” and “slim.”

And as you can see, I did have a plate of spaghetti arms. Got called that too come to think of it.

Those insults became part of my “why” for starting my fitness journey and I have to say it was an awesome feeling having some of those same people asking me how they could build their arms!

Thats why I always say, it’s not where you start, but where you finish that matters!

Find your “why” and go get your results! 💪🏽

Over the last 20+ years since I began training I’ve seen lots of fad diets come and go and go..

Case in point, if a nutrition plan isn’t sustainable the results it gives won’t be either.
