What is negative strength training?
Negative -42 Training is a Negative Strength Training program (also known as Negative Resistance Training) that focuses on loading the muscle fibres as they lengthen.
It’s a form of strength training proven to build lean muscle faster than traditional strength training. Lean muscle is the most important factor for lowering body fat, building strength and toning your body. The goal is to reach muscle failure on every set.
We welcome you to join the 42 Day Negative Challenge – it’s a 6-week program (42 days) of 2 x 25-minute sessions per week for a total of 12 negative workouts at our Te Atatu Peninsula or Onehunga location. It’s a group training session with welcoming like-minded people and positive vibes. Our expert trainers will guide you every step of the way and tailor everything to your fitness level and abilities.

After the age of 30, our bodies begin losing muscle mass. Low amounts of lean muscle are associated with obesity, increased ageing and increased risk of death. Higher proportions of lean muscle are associated with lower body fat, improved cardiovascular health, slower aging and decreased risk factors. That’s why lean muscle is so important.
Negative Strength Training is proven to be the fastest way to increase lean muscle. Our members on average lose 8cm from the waist and hips in their first six weeks! Whatever your fitness goal or level, we can tailor a plan so you can harness the benefits of negative training in a personal group training environment!

How Negative Training Works
Our goal is to reach muscle failure. Then prioritise recovery.
Not all reps are built the same! Our expert trainers will guide and challenge you through all three phases of a single repetition, with greater emphasis put on the eccentric (lengthening) part of the exercise.
Yes, it makes it more challenging than a traditional rep that just focuses on the concentric phase – but that’s how we achieve better results in less time per week. And don’t worry, we will tailor exercises and reps to your goals, abilities, fitness levels and injuries – in a personalized group training environment.
