Gyms Are Reopening Again, Is It Really Safe?

2026-03-18T18:45:48+00:00

For months, gyms were not allowed to operate and this has left fitness facilities all over the nation abandoned by humans and inhabited by dust bunnies. Gyms were not relevant in our lives anymore and this caused a huge health problem among us; an international research survey involving 1047 respondents(1) reported that COVID-19 home confinement has resulted in a decrease in all levels of physical activities and about 28% increase in daily sitting time as well as an increase in unhealthy patterns of food consumption. Does this count? But with gyms and studios reopening soon, we really need to [...]

Can You Reduce Stress By Foods?

2026-03-18T18:47:44+00:00

Eat Your Stress Goodbye - Stress Reducing Diet When you’re stressed out, the foods that you’re turning to are most likely going to be traditional ‘comfort’ foods – think big meals, tapaus , fast fatty foods, sweet foods, and "unhealthy drinks". Let’s face it – we’ve all found some comfort in a tasty meal and your favourite drink (usually sweet and savoury or alcoholic) when we’ve been stressed out or upset about something. There's nothing truly wrong about that but know that, this isn’t a good permanent solution. When you’re turning to unhealthy foods you can feel better temporarily, but in [...]

Our Misunderstood Motto – Movement Over Medicine

2026-03-18T18:48:16+00:00

An Open Letter To The Fitness Industry by our founder, Aren Kd. Today I was fortunate enough to have stumbled upon something that helps me count my blessings. I saw this picture of our client, which defines why I do what I do, why we at KD Trainer do what we do. Our motto "Movement Over Medicine" is often misunderstood, sometimes even ridiculed. It is not to say that medicine is useless, that would be ludicrous. In fact, we would all agree that humanity would not have reached this level of civilization without the development of science and medicine. Our (personal [...]

5 Reasons Why Your Legs Are Not Straight When Doing Squats

2026-03-18T18:49:41+00:00

1. Your Stance Is Wrong Squats come in all shapes and sizes. No two people will squat the same, so it takes time to find your ideal squat stance. The proper stance will allow your knees to stay in line with the toes. 2. You Don't Use Your Feet Most people don’t use their feet properly while squatting. By actively using your feet, you can prevent your knees from caving in while also targeting your glutes more effectively. 3. You Don't Brace Your Core Your core muscles control your pelvis, which dictates your hip position. The knees follow the hips, so [...]
