FAQs
I understand there may be many questions and concerns you may have before contacting me prior to an initial consultation, sit down meeting, or even sending out that first email or even making that first phone call. So to give you that little more confidence and reassurance in helping you to choose me as your personal 1-2-1 trainer I have listed out some frequently asked questions:
No, not at all. Most clients who come to me are either new to fitness or are returning to fitness after a period of inactivity. During your first session; I will carry out a health and fitness assessment that will help to determine the level of exercise that is right for you to begin. I will help you to reach your goals at a pace that’s right for you. You’ll be amazed at just how quickly your fitness levels will improve.
Don’t worry, quite a few first time clients feel this way. But once you’ve had a consultation with me, I guarantee that you will not only feel exceptionally comfortable, but you’ll probably wonder why you didn’t get started sooner!
It is my passion to help my clients achieve their goals in a safe and non-intimidating environment. So even if you’ve never had personal training before, you can be rest assured that I will bring out your very best. That’s my promise and commitment to you.
Prices are £60 per one hour session. I am based in Gravesend, KENT in the South East area. You can also team up with a partner and share the cost of training sessions between you. Two partners plus training sessions cost £40 each. To discuss your requirements in further detail please contact me.
Absolutely. Training with someone else can be highly motivating and a lot of fun. It’s also an ideal way to share the cost of personal training sessions between you. I can train upto three people in my group PT sessions.
At the outset I will carry out a full health and fitness assessment which will include such measurements as: Body Weight, Body Fat Percentage, BMI, Body Water Percentage, Basal Metabolic Rate [BMR], Muscle Mass, Visceral Fat Rating and Body Circumference Measurements. These measurements can be repeated at set stages throughout the course of your training program in order to measure your progress.
All clients generally start to feel fitter, both mentally and physical, by the end of their first week of personal training. My clients usually begin to tone and burn fat relatively quickly and may notice some of their clothes feeling looser within just a few weeks of training. The exact rate of weight loss will vary from client to client and is dependent upon your starting weight, gender, metabolism and the type of training program you are following. For best results, I advise that clients follow their chosen program guidelines for a minimum of 12 weeks.
For mobile and outdoor training; I will bring all the necessary fitness equipment for your workouts. If you already have fitness equipment that you would specifically like to use, I would be happy to incorporate that into your workouts too.
In all training sessions you will need to provide yourself with supportive trainers and sensible workout clothing such as jogging bottoms and a t-shirt. You should bring a bottle of drinking water to keep yourself hydrated and I also recommend that you bring a towel to your workout.
Every client’s personal training program is different. Your individual training program will be determined in your initial consultation and will be based upon your goals, interests, health history and physical abilities. I am highly qualified and experienced in a whole range of fitness disciplines which means that I can deliver one of the most diverse, varied and interesting workouts available anywhere.
Some exercises will require no equipment at all. For other exercises, I may use a wide variety of different exercise equipment dependent upon your individual program. Equipment may include dumbbells, medicine balls, kettle bells, swiss balls, aerobic steps, resistance tubes, bosu balance trainers, resistance bars, power bags, foam rollers, wobble boards, speed cones, rubber hand weights, jump ropes, hook and jab pads, gliding discs and much more!
Yes. I can provide you with a bespoke exercise plan that you can follow on your own, between sessions. I am an expert at creating highly effective home workouts that require no equipment at all, or I can build a program based around any fitness equipment you already have in your home. Either way, you’ll be guaranteed a fully bespoke routine that you can use in conjunction with your personal training sessions. Your home exercise program will be updated at regular intervals in order to add new variety and ensure that you continue to progress.
