I really need to lose weight, is this the right training for me?
Yes. But you will get more benefit from making changes to your diet as well as exercising. We will review your eating habits as part of your programme and this is included at no extra charge.
What happens if I miss a class/PT session – will I be charged?
Yes, if notice is less than 24 hours.
What happens if I miss a class – will I find it harder to return?
No, just take the class at your own pace and stick to the foundational levels of each exercise if that works for you.
What will I need to bring with me to class or PT?
Feel free to bring your own mat if you wish to, other than that, just a willingness to try all the exercises.
I don’t feel at all fit right now, will I struggle with S&C training?
No, most exercises have a range of levels from foundation to advanced and I will ensure to advise you of these and show you the correct exercise technique. I am passionate about the correct technique (to avoid injury) so expect me to notice if exercises are not being performed correctly so that I can correct you.
I have recently injured myself/had an operation, should I be doing S&C training?
Yes, however please let me know what your GP or physio has recommends you can/cannot do so that I can make sure to build this into the class or PT sessions.
What format do the classes take?
I plan a 6-week block of circuits that focus on a full-body workout. Therefore, you should feel, week-on-week, that the exercises or circuit are more progressive in terms of level of difficulty and/or weights used.
What should I eat before training?
Eating something at least an hour before your class/session is advisable. Good options are things like a banana, a piece of toast with peanut butter or porridge.
What format do the PT sessions take?
After an initial one-hour consultation (free of charge) I will plan a block of 6x sessions that suit your goals, level of general fitness and likes/dislikes. Each session is tailored to your individual needs. We will record some data at the outset. For example, body measurements, duration of a plank or similar, and to do the same at the end of 6 sessions as an indicator of progression.
Are there any aerobic or HiiT (high intensity interval training) type exercises in these classes/PT training?
The focus of aerobic or HiiT type training is to work at an increased heart rate for a set period of time. Strength training is predominantly low impact, although some exercises will raise your heart rate. You can read all about the benefits on this page. There might be some sessions where some HiiT type exercises are reused, however the vast majority of classes and sessions will be S&C based.
