Frequently Asked Questions

1. I don't like working out in the gym, what alternative do I have?​
A lot of people don’t like working out in the gym for varying reasons. In these circumstances personal training sessions can easily be adapted to the comfort of the clients' home. A lot of sessions take place within the clients' local outdoor environment; sessions can take place in the local park for example.



2. I have struggled with my weight and fitness for a long time, how will a personal trainer make a difference?
The purpose of a personal trainer is to provide a specific programme based on underpinning scientific knowledge. Each client has an initial consultation discussing barriers, objectives and goals in preparation to beginning training. Once an appointment has been made both the trainer and the client are committed to the programme. This continued commitment would ensure results through a continually adapted, challenging and progressive programme.



3. How long will it take to see the effects of training?
The onset of training is approximately 3 weeks. This means that after 4 weeks training the effects of the first week will show. This is why the body may still continue to develop even after training has stopped. This is an approximation - some people notice results sooner.



4. What happens if I can't make an appointment?
It is standard for a client to give a client to give their trainer 24 hours notice of cancellation, so that the session has the potential to be reallocated. Failure to give this period of notice would incur the cost of the session.



5. How often should I exercise?
It is recommended that everyone exercise for 30 minutes 3 times a week to maintain conditioning. So those exercisers attempting to progress their conditioning should exercise a minimum of 45-60 minutes 3 times a week. It is recommended that at least 1 hour of this be with a personal trainer, to ensure continued development and to monitor progress.



6. What equipment do I need?


The only equipment a client would need is suitable clothing and footwear. Clothes that restrict movement may not be suitable for the range of activity within a session. The trainer will provide all other equipment for the session.



7. How will progress be monitored?
The client's trainer will keep a detailed log of each session and chart progress, which will be shown to the client monthly or at their request.



8. How do I book?
A consultation and subsequent session can be booked by contacting Laura on 07889 521 993.
