If your goal is to become leaner, stronger, muscular, look more athletic or be toned? You are referring to the process of body recomposition.

Body Recomposition involves measured strength training and sports nutrition for the purposeful manipulation of body size, muscle mass and fat mass to achieve a desired body type.

It is the only objective way to achieve a desirable training outcome using the application of strength training and sports nutrition.

Unfortunately losing weight has become associated with only losing fat, the truth is that usually when you eat at a caloric deficit you are also sacrificing lean muscle mass in order to lose weight. What this means is that you’re bodyfat percentage doesn’t significantly shift and therefore whilst you may look smaller your muscles will not be any better defined nor will you gain the ‘athletic body’ that many desire whilst losing weight. Rep It Strength provides education on changing your body composition through a combination of diet & exercise, our methods provide you with metric-rich body composition analysis and ongoing techniques to achieve your goal in the shortest possible time-frame.

In order to achieve a body composition goal such as being toned or defined or building muscles, it is important to measure exactly what is changing. Many people have assumed that all they need to do is hop on the scales and that will tell them everything they need to know, however a scale will only tell you the total mass of your body not the percentage of fat, muscle and even water. In fact most changes in the short term in body-weight are simply a result of water shifting in the body. The weight on the scale also fails to tell you whether you are losing fat or muscle mass.

The best way to track body composition is through skin fold measurements. We provide this during our initial assessments and weekly check ins. You can claim your free consultation with one of our coaches, who can perform a full assessment to help you determine your body composition (Lean mass vs Fat mass).
