Any individual, regardless of their fitness level would benefit from working out with a Personal Trainer.

A good trainer should offer focus, motivation and safety to your fitness programme, ensuring that you achieve maximum results whilst remaining free from injury.

The trainer should provide encouragement during the sessions and constantly evaluate and adjust your training programme as your needs and fitness levels change.

HOW LONG DOES A TRAINING SESSION LAST?

Your initial consultation session will last for around 90 minutes and includes a Health Screening questionnaire, medical history and blood pressure test.

We will spend a short time discussing your lifestyle and nutritional habits, before assessing and evaluating your needs and goals.

Training sessions thereafter last for one hour.

WHAT WILL MY TRAINING SESSIONS INVOLVE?

What you do in your training session will depend entirely on your own individualised training programme.

Regardless of which programme you are on, all sessions involve a warm up/ cool down period and full Stretch Programme.

After a number of years of training you may find that your gains start to plateau, along with your enthusiasm.

Your body will adapt to the same programme or workload placed upon it, so your training may need a kickstart to get you back on track and ensure that you are not just “going through the motions”

A good trainer will assess your current programme, evaluate your goals and make changes or adjustments to ensure maximum results. These adjustments may be in the way of intensity/ variety/ volume of training or maybe just correcting poor exercise form.

WHAT IS A “SPORTS SPECIFIC” PROGRAMME AND WHAT WILL IT DO FOR ME?

Different sports involve different muscles and sometimes, just using a basic weight training/ cardiovascular programme, will not give you the optimum requirements needed for a specific activity.

A Sports Specific programme will focus on the muscles primarily used in a given activity and in some cases, concentrate on exercises that “mirror” the movements used in that activity. These exercises could be in the form of stretching, mobility, weight training or cardiovascular exercises; the end result being a focused and balanced programme tailored to your specific sport.
