Coach Ivan believes that effective training is built on a foundation of consistency and open communication. He emphasises that training should not be a one-way, top-down approach, but rather a collaborative effort where active communication between the trainer and client is essential. According to Coach Ivan, consistency is also key for making progress, and even imperfect training days contribute to growth-he believes that “the only truly bad training day is the one where you don't show up.” This belief aligns closely with TSquared Lab's approach, which prioritises personalised coaching, ongoing feedback, and the understanding that sustained effort is crucial to achieving long-term fitness success.

Empower yourself with valuable resources related to training, nutrition, and well-being along with expert advice from world’s leading personal trainers helping you to address your unique fitness and health goals.
Longevity is the pursuit of living a longer, healthier life by making conscious choices that promote overall well-being.
Losing weight can often feel like an uphill battle, even when you are putting in your best efforts. It’s frustrating, disheartening, demotivating, and sometimes downright confusing. You might be eating right, and exercising regularly, yet the scale refuses to budge.
Consistency in training forms the bedrock of any successful fitness journey. It’s the steady rhythm of effort and dedication that leads individuals toward their goals. Amongst the myriad of considerations in crafting an effective training regimen or finding the right personal trainer, one question often looms large: How many days a week should you train?
Mental well-being is a complicated subject. Researching the topic for a while will net you countless opinions, tactics, and ancient Chinese secrets for how to elevate your well-being and lead a rich, fulfilling life.
In a fast-paced world filled with demands and distractions, one cornerstone of well-being often takes a backseat – SLEEP.
Reps In Reserve (RIR) are the number of reps or repetitions you can accomplish before hitting a technical failure or before you miss a lift. And technical failure means that you cannot do another rep without proper form. Therefore, RIR is an effective tool to measure the intensity of your workout.
During an exercise set, time under tension (TUT) means the amount of time a muscle is put under strain in a particular exercise. With UT workouts, each phase of the workout is extended, which results in longer workout sets.
When it comes to workouts, you need to consider various factors to create a workout plan. For example, to become stronger and how your training impacts your body. That is you need to choose the right exercise, and lift the right weight, do the right number of reps, complete the set, obtain the proper rest, etc.
Have you ever found yourself stuck with your training? You’re hitting the gym consistently, putting in the effort, and doing your best, but you can’t seem to make progress toward your goals?
With the steadily growing popularity of courses, group classes, and online coaching, personal training might seem like a lost art, but that is far from the truth.
Like most people interested in building muscle, you’ve probably asked others what the best repetition range is for the goal.
