FAQS

Q. How often should I train?

This all depends on what fitness levels you want to achieve and how fit you already are. You can train with me as little as once per week and up to 5 times per week. Using my training sessions to really push you and get you fitter. For a general fitness level I would recommend that you exercise at least 3 times per week for a minimum of 30 minutes each. Consistently increasing your heart rate daily, getting out of breath and working your muscles will ensure a decent level of sustainable fitness as well as fat loss.

Q. What if I can’t make a session?

This is by far the biggest problem in personal training in that clients will cancel literally 2 minutes before they are due to do a training session. Because of this and the increased inconvenience caused by some individuals I have a cancellation policy. All I require is that you give me 24 hours notice if you need to cancel, however emergencies do happen and last minute cancellations are a must at times, so each client gets a total of 2 last minute cancellations. Any more than that and they incur a cancellation fee which is £15.

Q. I have various medical conditions, can I still train?

Medical conditions are unfortunately very common but we must not to let it get in the way of staying as healthy as we possibly can. Firstly you need to talk to your Doctor and that you want to start an exercise regime (or he may have already referred you) , and they will give you an idea of what your limitations are. I have the WRIGHT Foundation GP Referral qualification and I’m capable of training people with most medical conditions except post heart attack patients. If you need to discuss your concerns or queries with myself regarding this, then please email me and I will be happy to help.

Q. I have an injury, can you help in rehabilitation?

Injuries plague us all at some stage, so it's best to keep as active as you possibly can without causing further damage to yourself. Using the guidelines of your physio or other medical professional we can work a training program specific to your injury limitations. I am qualified in Corrective Exercise and can resolve any muscle imbalances and postural malfunctions to ensure a speedy recovery without taking any risks.

Q. I am very very unfit and have not exercised in years - can you help?

Everyone needs to start somewhere!!! No matter how bad your fitness level is, or what you perceive it to be, we can work together to get you in shape. I use a structured systematic approach that will see you progressing through each stage in good time.

Q. What can you expect from a typical training session?

Hard work, sweat, lots of burnt calories and an abundance of feeling that you have really got your monies worth with a training session from me. As a fitness trainer I cater for people from beginner to athlete level, your training sessions will consist of a varied training regime suited to you needs.
