Embracing the Strength: Fitstop's Winning Formula in 2023

Did you know that strength training topped 2022’s most popular workout list, and it’s heading that way once again in 2023.

At Fitstop, we not only recognize the widespread popular of itstrength training, but it’s within our DNA as we proudly feature strength training throughout our entire methodology, placing us at the forefront of this movement.

tThe Rise of Strength Training

Strength training is a proven exercise form leveraging resistance to enhance muscle strength and endurance. Its benefits are extensive and go beyond physical strength, including improved metabolism, bone density, and overall mental well-being. As of 2023, the demand for strenth has transitioned from an interest reserved for athletes to a now widely accepted fitness practice.

Each Fitstop session balances strength, metabolic conditioning and endurance, with our signature Lift session really emphasising this strength approach - and the demand for this session is unparalleled. In fact, our Lift sessions are our most popular session type across all ages and genders, proving strength training is not a trend; it’s the consistently preferred choice.
