Personal Training
Infinity Life™ Metabolic Training (ILMT) is an exercise program based on recent scientific breakthroughs in the fields of exercise physiology and endocrinology. Based on the latest research, much of human health including immunity, recovery, mood, vigor, sex drive, and aging is strongly influenced by the body’s ability to produce and maintain optimal levels of anabolic (“building”) hormones such as the human growth hormone.
As such, our exercise program harnesses new technology in its cutting edge approach to training and is geared toward enhancing anabolic hormones as well as other key biological markers in the process of optimizing your health potential.
Though scientifically based, our Infinity Life™ ethic rests on a humanist approach and honors the fact that everyone is an individual with different levels of experience and physical ability. Indeed, your own personal preference, lifestyle, and physical state of being will be considered first and foremost as you begin your new program with us. Nevertheless, we do employ some standard procedures, as each Infinity Life™ client will be taught the fundamentals of exercise and how it applies to each aspect of training. Otherwise, the pace at which you progress is entirely dependent on your goals.
The following elements are key exercise protocols used to achieve hormonal enhancement and balance your endocrine system.
Intensity
In contrast to traditional approaches to exercise such as pyramiding and aerobic workouts, research shows that high intensity “bouts” of exercise provide much greater health benefits. As each client’s physical ability and fitness levels are taken into consideration when beginning a new program, everyone begins with a regimen tailored to their needs. Nevertheless, every client’s "intensity" level will progress as he or she becomes more fit.

Duration
During an intense exercise session, a transition occurs between catabolic (breaking down) and anabolic (building) endocrine hormones. When properly balanced, this transformation can lead to the rejuvenation and regeneration of muscle cells.
Conversely, when this process is imbalanced, it can produce excess hormones such as Cortisol, which have been shown to generate catabolic effects on the body, producing excess fat and eroding lean muscle mass.
Training Schedule
From the 5th hour to the 15th hour after exercise, a hormonal rebounding occurs wherein anabolic and catabolic hormones return to a period of balance. Following a return to balance or ‘homeostasis’, anabolic (building) hormones actually continue to rise and catabolic (breaking down) hormones continue to fall. At this time, the body is actually rebuilding and adapting itself to better accommodate the next workout. This process is referred to as ‘super-compensation’.
