PT Taster Sessions
If you're undecided whether personal training is for you, why not try a PT taster session?
This is a discounted session of just £25 for 1hr. It covers:
- A brief consultation about your goals and exercise history
- A warm up tailored to the session
- Functional movement assessment
- A full body strength session.
Fancy a go? Drop me a line using the form at the bottom of this page. This could also be a great gift for someone you know!
Health screening and goal setting
Planning is key!
To enable you to reach your goals safely and effectively, I'll first need to collect some essential information. This is so that we can work safely and effectively together.
I will:
- Ask you to complete a health screening questionnaire. This is standard industry practice that every PT uses
- Ask you to complete a goal setting questionnaire, looking at your physical, nutritional and lifestyle goals, and any barriers you might perceive
- Set up an in-person consultation to review the information you have provided & programme T&Cs
- Agree the package that suits you best
- Design your programme!
Your programme design
A full body approach
There are often muscle groups we don't use much in every day life; or, at least as not as often as we should! My programming takes a full body approach to cover the upper and lower body, as well as anterior and posterior muscle groups.
My main focus is to use free weights, including the barbell, dumbbells, kettlebells and functional fitness equipment. Using free weights offers unrivalled requirements for full body stability and posture, and recruits deeper muscle groups in the process.
There is also the option though of using the fixed-pin resistance machines if we're really looking for pure muscle isolation.
Feedback and progression
Keeping on track
We'll sit down together at the end of each 6-week block to review your progress against your goals. We'll make a plan for your next 6 weeks if you're carrying on, or make sure you've got all the information you need if you're going to train on your own.
If you're carrying on for another 6 weeks, we'll review what you've enjoyed, what we keep and what we add in. This ensures variety and adaptation.
It's also really important to me that I learn from your experience and that you feedback what has worked for you. This is a partnership and we are BOTH accountable for your success.
