Weight Loss
Healthy weight isn’t about following a diet or program. Instead, it involves a lifestyle with healthy eating patterns, regular physical activity, and stress management. People with gradual, steady weight loss (1 to 2 pounds per week) are more likely to keep the weight off than people who lose weight quickly. Sleep, age, genetics, diseases, medications, and environments can also contribute to weight management. Getting adequate sleep can help you manage your body weight. Age, genetics, diseases, medications and environments may also contribute to overweight and obesity.
As people age, the body composition gradually shifts — the proportion of muscle decreases and the proportion of fat increases. This shift slows their metabolism, making it easier to gain weight. In addition, some people become less physically active as they get older, increasing the risk of weight gain.
Nutrition
One of the most flagrantly misunderstood factors that has a major impact in achieving your fitness goals is your nutrition. What you eat, how you eat, and when you eat can either compliment or derail your fitness journey. You can always try but you will never be able to “outwork a bad nutrition.” That’s how important a good, healthy, and sustainable diet is to your overall success. Having a tailored meal plan in line with your fitness program will get you to your weight loss in a much shorter time frame.
Strength Training
If you want to reduce body fat percentage, increase lean muscle mass and burn calories more efficiently, then you need to start lifting weights. Strength training is a key component of overall health and fitness for everyone (young, middle-aged, and old). Lean muscle mass is like the 1990’s mobile phone plan of “use it or lose it.” Naturally, your lean muscle mass will diminish with age. And no, you can’t stop the process but you can slow down the rate of loss.
Your body fat percentage will increase over time if you don’t do anything to replace the lean muscle you lose over time. Strength training can help you preserve and enhance your muscle mass at any age. Other benefits of strength training includes improved strength, efficient calorie burning, decrease body fat percentage, lower risk of injury, improved posture, improved heart health, blood sugar management, improved self-esteem, and improved balance.
Welcome to Bodies By Akeem. My name is Akeem Disu. I am a National Academy of Sports Medicine certified personal trainer who is extremely passionate about helping people realize their full potential. Like many people (as a result of sports), I have been through my fair share of pain, ranging from ankle, knee, and back surgeries. I know exactly what it takes to overcome your challenges and in other to reach your fitness goals. I am very selective when it comes to the clients I work with. My goal is to deliver my clients with a measurable and sustainable results.
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
Akeem can be whatever kind of trainer you need. When we worked together, I was vocal about my priorities and he was intentional about aligning with them. Some sessions, I wanted a challenge and needed a push. Other sessions, I wanted modifications and just needed support. He is very well-rounded and conscientious. Akeem was instrumental in helping me gain strength, not only physically but mentally and emotionally as well.

I met Akeem through a friend at the Steeping Room (coffee shop) in early 2016. Akeem was explaining the details and benefits of disciplined fitness and exercise programs, and from this conversation I was definitely intrigued. I contacted Akeem immediately to get his advice and help. I told him about my fitness goals – to get fit and wear bikini, and flaunt my abs on my upcoming vacation to Ibiza, Spain. I just wanted to be confident wearing my bikini – and he made it happen in less than three months. The process was difficult for me because I was recovering from an outpatient surgery. By the power of his words, his motivation, and determination to help me stay focused and disciplined. I advise anyone who is serious about their health and fitness to work with a trainer who’s trustworthy, passionate, and committed to helping you achieve your fitness goal. Akeem was that trainer for me.

My time working with Akeem was great! He is super knowledgeable and can apply it very well. Now, as a trainer myself (in part thanks to Akeem) I can say the latter is the important part. Knowledge is only useful if applied properly and he executes amazingly for any goal. He will work hard at making you work hard. That is how gains are made.

I’ve been searching for 2 years to find the right physical trainer to assist me in reaching my fitness goals. Akeem has been the person that helped me achieve progress I never thought attainable. He’s patient, well informed and has a way of pushing you at the right pace. I highly recommend him.
Marcus Jewett
I’ve worked with many trainers over the last few years and training with Akeem has by far been the most rewarding! Not only was it fun, but I saw big changes in my muscle toning and definition. I felt stronger physically and also gained so much self confidence. Akeem will push you to your limits because he knows you can exceed them. I like that, and I need that in a gym setting. If you’re looking for a fun butt kicking that results in change, Akeem is your man!

CALCULATE YOUR BMI
Carrying too much weight can lead to a variety of health conditions, such as type II diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular problems, and a host of chronic pains. On the other hand, a weight that’s too low can increase the risk of malnutrition, osteoporosis, and anemia. Calculating BMI involves measuring a person’s weight and height.
