Introduction

Gaynor offers a totally integrated approach to health and fitness, using a range of skills and services, designed to meet the individual needs of her clients, including those with chronic health problems, medical conditions, and age-related problems.

Identifying Problem Areas

During an assessment session, Gaynor looks at a client's overall health, including:

	General fitness
	Muscle strength and tone
	Ratio of fat to lean tissue
	Endurance and flexibility
	Back and joint functioning
	Energy levels and mood
	BMI, basal metabolic rate, and other health markers, including blood pressure readings

Setting Personal Goals

Gaynor helps clients to develop realistic goals - which may be as simple as improving posture, or as complex as training for a specific event or personal challenge - and a personalised programme to achieve them:

	At a time and place convenient to them
	With one or more sessions a week, plus homework
	Individually or in small groups of up to four people, or more if space permits

Achieving those goals

Different techniques to help with personal training may be appropriate for clients at different times, including:

	Exercise and nutrition
	Rehabilitation, Sports Therapy, and Myotherapy
	Sports Psychology and Hypnotherapy

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.
