Training in a gym without a plan wastes your membership. Machines you are not sure how to use, a crowded free-weights area and random workouts that never seem to change anything. Fitness training with D Dynamic Fitness fixes that.
Coach Don Michael Ondiro teaches you how to train properly: the right exercises, the right technique and a programme that progresses every week. You will know what you did in every session and why.
What fitness training includes
- Gym orientation: how to use free weights, cables and machines safely.
- Technique coaching on the key lifts: squat, deadlift, bench press, overhead press, rows and pull-ups.
- A written programme with sets, reps and weights that progress each week.
- Muscle-building principles: volume, intensity, tempo and recovery explained simply.
- Gym etiquette and confidence: so the weights room never feels intimidating again.
Watch: squats and strength work
The first video is a real client session: squats with progressive overload, starting with the 20 kg bar and adding weight set by set while Don coaches her form. The second is Don's own training with push-up and dumbbell variations.
A sample 4-day training split
| Day | Focus | Example exercises |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | Upper body push | Bench press, overhead press, dips, triceps work |
| Tuesday | Lower body | Squats, Romanian deadlifts, lunges, calf raises |
| Thursday | Upper body pull | Pull-ups, rows, face pulls, biceps work |
| Friday | Full body and conditioning | Deadlifts, push-up variations, carries, intervals |
Your programme is built around how many days you can train. Two or three full-body sessions a week work very well for most people.
How progressive overload works
Muscles grow and get stronger when they are asked to do a little more over time. That is progressive overload, and it is the single most important principle in fitness training. Your programme builds it in through:
- Adding a small amount of weight when you hit your target reps.
- Adding reps or sets at the same weight.
- Improving technique, range of motion and control.
- Reducing rest periods for conditioning blocks.
Every session is logged, so you can see your numbers climb week after week.
Common training mistakes we fix
- Ego lifting: too much weight, poor form, high injury risk.
- Program hopping: changing workouts every week so nothing progresses.
- Skipping legs: leg training builds overall strength and burns more energy.
- No warm-up: a few minutes of preparation makes every set safer and stronger.
- Not eating enough protein to recover and build muscle.
Gym training plus the rest of your week
Gym training combines well with other services. Add calisthenics for relative strength, mobility training to lift in better positions, or weight loss coaching if fat loss is your main goal. We train fitness clients across Nairobi, including Westlands and Kilimani.
Checklist for your first session
