DO YOU WANT TO EXERCISE BUT ARE UNSURE WHAT IS THE BEST STRENGTH TRAINING PROGRAM?
You shouldn’t get hurt trying to get healthy. Our goal is to get you stronger so that you can enjoy the things you want to do.
STRENGTH TRAINING BUILT AROUND YOU
Whether you are returning from injury, managing a medical condition, improving sports performance or simply want to stay strong and active, your training should match your individual needs.
At Canton Beach Physio, strength training is one to one and supervised by university trained health professionals. We adjust your exercises, resistance and progression around your goals, current ability and injury history.
FOCUSED TRAINING
Each session is planned around your current ability and goals. With one to one supervision, you can focus on good technique, appropriate resistance and steady progression.
We use slow, controlled repetitions, usually around 5 to 10 seconds per phase. This reduces acceleration and unnecessary momentum, helps you maintain good technique and keeps the exercise controlled throughout the movement. We use this approach to reduce unnecessary forces during training and help minimise injury risk.
BUILD STRENGTH FOR HEALTH AND PERFORMANCE
Strength training improves muscular strength, physical capacity and confidence in everyday movement. It can also support bone health, healthy ageing and the maintenance of muscle as you get older.
For runners, athletes and active adults, your program can also be tailored to improve the strength needed for sport, training and daily life.
STRENGTH FOR INJURY REHABILITATION
Strength training can be adapted around pain, injury and recovery from surgery. We select exercises and resistance levels that match your current capacity, then progress them as your strength and confidence improve.
This can be useful for people recovering from back, knee, shoulder, tendon and other musculoskeletal problems.
HOW YOUR STRENGTH TRAINING WORKS
START WITH A PROGRAM BUILT FOR YOU
Your training starts with an introductory workout so we can understand your goals, current ability and any injuries or medical conditions that may affect your program.
If you are dealing with significant pain or a recent injury, we may recommend a physiotherapy assessment before you begin strength training.
From there, your exercises are selected and adjusted to suit your individual needs, with one to one supervision throughout.
TRAIN WITH A CLEAR METHOD
Your program uses progressive resistance training with exercises selected for your goals, current strength and physical capacity.
We focus on controlled technique, appropriate loading and gradual progression rather than simply doing more exercises or spending more time in the gym.
Your program can be adjusted as your strength, confidence and goals change.
TRAIN LESS. MAKE EACH SESSION COUNT.
Most clients train for 20 or 30 minutes, usually once or twice each week.
Because each session is one to one and carefully programmed, the focus is on quality, progression and effort rather than spending more time in the gym.
Training frequency can be adjusted to suit your goals, recovery and current ability.
PREMIUM STRENGTH EQUIPMENT FOR CONTROLLED, SAFE AND EFFECTIVE TRAINING
Our strength gym uses Pendulum Strength and Newtech equipment selected for controlled resistance training, adjustability and safe exercise setup.
The equipment allows us to train the whole body with exercises that can be adjusted to your height, strength, movement range and individual training needs.
CONTROLLED RESISTANCE THROUGH THE RANGE
Pendulum and New Tech equipment is designed to provide controlled resistance through the exercise range, helping us match the load more closely to the movement being trained.
ADJUSTABLE FOR DIFFERENT BODY SIZES
Many of the machines can be adjusted to suit different heights, limb lengths and starting positions, helping us set each exercise up more appropriately for the individual.
ADJUSTABLE RANGE OF MOTION
Selected machines allow the movement range to be limited or adjusted, which can help us train within a comfortable and appropriate range for the individual.
BUILT IN SAFETY FEATURES
Selected machines include features such as lockouts, range limiters, stable foot platforms and mechanical stops to help create a more controlled training environment.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT STARTING POINT
IF YOU HAVE PAIN OR A RECENT INJURY
If pain, a recent injury, surgery or a significant history of problems may affect your training, we recommend starting with a physiotherapy assessment.
Your physiotherapist can assess your symptoms, movement and current capacity, then help establish an appropriate starting point for your strength program.
IF YOU ARE READY TO START TRAINING
If you do not need a physiotherapy assessment first, you can begin with a 60 minute introductory workout with an exercise scientist.
We will discuss your goals, introduce you to the equipment and exercises, and establish appropriate starting settings and resistance levels.
WHAT TO EXPECT IN YOUR INTRODUCTORY WORKOUT
- Meet the physiotherapist or exercise scientist you will be training with and discuss your goals, health history and previous training experience.
- Take a short tour of the strength training studio and become familiar with the equipment.
- Learn how the exercises are set up, including posture, movement range, resistance and slow controlled technique.
- Complete a supervised whole body strength workout using exercises selected for your current ability.
- Review how the session went, ask any questions and discuss the most appropriate training plan from here.
