Why Fat Loss Starts with Strength Training, Not Cardio

If you’ve been told the secret to fat loss is endless cardio, it’s time to rethink the plan. At 4D Gym South Melbourne, we focus on strength training because it works — not just in theory, but in real-world results.

Our members consistently see better outcomes in body composition, energy levels, and long-term sustainability by lifting weights, not by chasing the treadmill.

Why Strength Training Works for Fat Loss

Lifting weights increases lean muscle mass — and muscle is metabolically active, meaning you’ll burn more calories even at rest. Unlike cardio, which burns calories only during the session, strength training keeps working long after you leave the gym.

At 4D Gym, our private personal training programs are tailored to your goals, with a clear focus on long-term, sustainable fat loss. Looking for something more social? Our group personal training combines structured workouts with a supportive environment — a favourite among locals in Port Melbourne, South Melbourne, and the surrounding suburbs.

Recovery and Consistency = Results

Training hard is only half the equation. Our new private infrared sauna with integrated red light therapy helps reduce inflammation, improve recovery, and support your nervous system. This isn’t just a luxury — it’s a performance tool used by top athletes and everyday clients alike.

If your goal is fat loss, you need a training and recovery strategy that actually supports your body, not burns it out.

You won’t find fads here. No 30-day cleanses. No bootcamp hype. Just evidence-based training, expert coaching, and real results. Whether you’re searching for the best PT in Melbourne, looking for South Melbourne fitness, or curious about private PT options — we’ve built something that delivers.
