Personal Training is exactly what it says – personal.  A Personal Trainer works clients on a one-to-one basis or within a small group, usually in a client's home or office.  Training Programmes are tailored to specific health and fitness requirements, from losing weight to running the London Marathon, or somewhere in between.   Programmes can be tailored to the specific fitness needs of different sports.

Programmes can be amended to meet changing needs, whether due to illness, injury, or other factors.  Flexibility - in terms of time, place, and frequency, as well as exercise routines - is one of the great benefits of Personal Training, along with motivation, encouragement, and close attention to safe, effective techniques.

One-to-One

Personal Training is offered predominantly on a one-to-one basis, usually in the client’s home.  Some clients are able to arrange for office sessions.  Many people, however,  choose to work with a partner, friend or family member.

Small Groups

Small-group training is available for up to four people, subject to having sufficient space in which to train. 

Teams

Sports-specific training can be arranged for amateur, semi-professional or professional teams as a whole, or for individuals within the team.  This is usually provided at the team’s home ground.

Corporate
