Why Muscle Is Your Metabolic Engine — and How to Build It

If you’ve been told that cardio is the key to fat loss, it’s time to shift your perspective. Muscle is your most underrated metabolic tool — and strength training is how you build it. At 4D Gym in South Melbourne, we don’t chase trends. We coach strategies that work.

Muscle Boosts Fat Loss, Even at Rest

Building muscle increases your resting metabolic rate, meaning you burn more calories even when you’re not training. Whether your goal is fat loss, body recomposition, or simply to move and feel better, strength training should be at the heart of your plan.

That’s why our private personal training and group personal training are focused on progressive overload and smart program design — not just burning calories for the sake of it.
