Question 1

Do I Need any gym experience?

Not at all. Coaching is suitable whether you’re completely new to the gym, getting back into training or already have some experience. Everything will be based around your current ability and confidence.

Question 2

What happens during my free consultation?

Accepted Answer

We’ll have a relaxed conversation about your goals, training experience, current routine and what you’d like to achieve. It’s also an opportunity for you to ask questions and find out which coaching option would suit you best.

Question 3

What is included in 1-to-1 personal training?

Accepted Answer

Your sessions are built around your individual goals and ability. We’ll work on areas such as exercise technique, strength, fitness and progression, with guidance and support throughout each session.

Question 4

How often should I have personal training?

Accepted Answer

There isn’t one answer that suits everyone. It depends on your goals, experience, schedule and how much support you want. We can discuss the best approach for you during your consultation.

Question 5

Do you offer online coaching?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Online coaching is available if you prefer to train independently but still want a personalised programme, progression, accountability and ongoing support.

Question 6

Will I need to follow a strict diet?

Accepted Answer

No. Where appropriate, I can provide general healthy eating and lifestyle guidance alongside your training. The focus is on realistic habits that you can maintain rather than unnecessarily restrictive approaches.

Question 7

What if I have an injury or medical condition?

Accepted Answer

Let me know before we start so we can discuss it properly. Training can often be adjusted where appropriate, although in some circumstances medical clearance or guidance from another healthcare professional may be needed before exercising

How do I get started?

Simply book your free consultation. We’ll discuss what you want to achieve, where you’re currently at and which coaching option would suit you best.

Question 9

How long will it take to see results?

Accepted Answer

Everyone progresses at a different rate depending on their starting point, goals, training consistency and lifestyle. The focus will be on making steady, sustainable progress rather than promising a specific result within a set timeframe.

Question 10

What if there’s an exercise I can’t do or don’t feel comfortable with?

Accepted Answer

That’s absolutely fine. Exercises can be adapted or replaced where appropriate. The programme should work for you, so if something doesn’t feel right, we’ll find an alternative that still helps you work towards your goals.

Question 11

What should I bring to my personal training session?

Accepted Answer

Wear comfortable clothing you can move in, suitable trainers and bring some water. If there’s anything else you need for a particular session, I’ll let you know beforehand.
