OPEX Bristol

Semi-private personal training in Bristol. Individualised coaching for strength, fat loss & fitness.

02/09/2026

This is what training should actually look like. 🎯

Your own individual programme, built around your goals — but coached in the room, alongside other people, by someone who's actually watching your reps, adjusting your load, and knows your name.

Not a class where everyone does the same workout. Not solo PT where you're paying for every minute. PT-level coaching, at a fraction of the price.

Carbs before = fuel. Carbs after = recovery. Both matter 🍚

Pre-workout (60-90 min out):

Go easy-digesting — ripe banana, white rice, toast
Save oats/wholegrains/legumes for meals away from training — they're still digesting when you start moving

Post-workout:

Faster-digesting carbs win here — white rice, fruit, a sports drink
Pairs with protein to top glycogen back up quicker, especially after a hard session

Myth-bust:
The old "eat within 30 mins post-workout or lose your gains" rule? Science walked that back. Real window's more like a few hours — especially if you ate well before training.

Bottom line:
Total daily intake > exact timing. Food type & timing are the fine-tuning, not the whole picture.

Fuel the work. Recover the work. 💪

📣 CLIENT TESTIMONIAL - Tom

🌟 Full Google Review 👇

"Since joining, I’ve made some really noticeable progress. My weight has come down from around 89kg to roughly 80kg while focusing on maintaining muscle and improving my overall body composition. The regular InBody scans have been particularly useful because you can actually see the changes happening rather than just relying on the number on the scales.
The gym itself has a great atmosphere, excellent equipment and feels much more personal than a typical commercial gym.
A special mention to Amy, who has been brilliant as my PT. She’s knowledgeable, approachable and has really helped keep my training structured and moving in the right direction.
Really happy I joined OPEX Bristol and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a more personalised approach to their training and measurable results."

More weight doesn’t always mean more progress. 👀

When it comes to resistance training, how you perform an exercise can be just as important as the weight on the bar.

Slowing down the eccentric (lowering) phase, controlling the movement and avoiding momentum can help you get more out of each rep — rather than simply moving the weight from A to B.

If your goal is to build muscle, improve your body composition or simply get stronger, don’t underestimate the value of quality reps.

You don’t always need to add more weight. Sometimes you just need to make the weight you’re already lifting work harder. 💪

Control the rep. Own the movement. Get more from your training.

Can you build muscle AND lose fat at the same time? 👀

Sometimes… but it depends on where you’re at in your training journey.

If you’re new to training, returning after time away, or rebuilding muscle lost through injury or illness, body recomposition can be much more achievable.

But if you’re already well-trained, trying to maximise both at the same time becomes a lot harder. 💪

Sometimes the best approach is to pick a goal, commit to it, and give your body what it needs to achieve it.
