All clients must complete a PAR-Q before commencing any exercise programme. This is a Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire which will be carried out in your free consultation session, it will help to identify any health restrictions. If you do have health restrictions, we may require a letter of medical clearance from your GP before we begin your training sessions.

I’ve struggled with my weight and fitness for a long time, how will you make a difference?

The purpose of a personal trainer is to provide a specific programme based on underpinning expert knowledge. Each client has an initial consultation discussing barriers, objectives and goals in preparation to beginning training.

The barriers to achieving your goals are just as important, so we can identify these and look at ways at overcoming them.

It is our job to both advise and motivate you to maintain your full commitment to the programme and to continually adapt and progress your programme to keep you interested and focused on achieving your goals.
