The consultation

Before we design a tailor made package for you, I need to find out as much information about you and your lifestyle, so I can design the best exercise plan for your goals. Also we need to set bench marks which we will assess every 4-6wks to make sure we are making progress.

The consultation will consist of 2 sections: paperwork and a fitness test. If you then choose to sign up for personal training, Completion of contracts and agreement forms will be required.
The Paper assessment consists of the following:

• - Lifestyle Questionnaire
• - Medical Questionnaire
• - Stress Questionnaire
• - Daily diary of events
• - Average food diary over 3 day

The Fitness assessment will consist of the following – tests will only be carried out depending on client’s health and goals

• - Body measurements
• - Heart Rate
• - Blood Pressure
• - Fat % measurements
• - 1 mile Walk
• - 1 mile Jog
• - 3 min step test

(Questionnaire and fitness tests are optional, however the more information and measurements I receive, the easier it is to design a person specific programme, plus having more measurements sets more goals to improve upon)

Weight loss

With a combination of cardio and weight resistant training, we will perform exercises that will burn fat and not muscle. With personal exercise prescriptions and diet plans, you will increase your metabolism resulting in burning more calories when working out but also when resting. We need to be burning more calories than we consume to lose weight but this has to be done with a healthy approach.

Toning

The main objective when in comes to toning will be specific muscle training, performing weight bearing exercises, with light weights and high repetitions. Plus the involvement of cardio will help gain definition to your body. Another key factor when keeping the body toned and defined, is diet, I will provide healthy diet changes to help you achieve this.

Muscle size

If you are aiming to increase your muscle mass, the most effective way is weight training, though there are several ways this can be achieved. The main method is free weights and resistant equipment within a gym.

Though a persons body weight and the use of resistant bands can also be used to increase muscle size. Muscle mass weight training differs from muscle toning as you lift heavier weight with low repetitions. I will provide detailed weight training sessions for you to get bigger through muscle.

Nutrition

Do you know how many calories your body requires? Want to know if you are having the correct balance of carbohydrates, proteins and fats? I can breakdown your current diet intake, and provide detailed nutrition changes to your lifestyle that will reinvent your diet helping achieve your goals.

Sports specific training

Being a keen sportsman I know specific skills are needed to perform at your best. Be it running, golf, skiing, I can help with diet advice and sports specific exercises which will improve your game. Nutrition is very important when it come to competing; you need to make sure you have the correct energy physically and mentally to compete to your full potential.

G.P Referred

Exercise is extremely important even more so if you have been injured, have a disability or are suffering from a disease.
If you have been recommended by your GP that exercise will benefit your current condition and also depending on the condition I will do my best to help you physically and nutritionally.

No two clients are the same, people may have similar goals but achieving them can be very difficult and challenging task for some individuals. It’s not just the exercise that’s important it’s all aspects of life. This is where I believe I can help.
