User Questions
  • Why should I use a personal trainer?

    Just like anything, if you are working with a dedicated professional you are going to get better results. Personal trainers can often help you in many other ways than just getting fit! They will be able to advise you on other activities that you could consider and thing like nutrition and how to avoid injuries.  

  • How often should I train?

    It’s totally up to you. It’s whatever works best with your lifestyle. We would recommend you training with a PT 3 times a week, but if that's not something you can commit to every week then you should commit as much time as you can. Speak with your PT and they will be able to recommend some other exercises that you do as a part of your daily routine, so you can constantly keep on top of your new fitness regime. 

  • Where’s best to train?

    Different people like different training environments. If you like the great outdoors and you don’t mind an audience, then a training session in the local park would be great for you. If you get more of a buzz from working out in a gym- then there’s no reason to go elsewhere. We think that it’s always good to mix it up, though. Again, speak with your PT and they’ll be happy to advise you.  

  • Is my personal trainer going to put me on a diet or make me stop smoking or drinking alcohol?

    Personal trainers are dedicated professionals that genuinely want the best for their clients. They may give you nutritional and lifestyle advice - but it is up to you if you want to make those changes.

  • How much does a personal trainer cost?

    Just like any professional service or advice, there is no standard cost, although you should expect to pay anything between £20 and £100 per hour, depending on what type of training you are participating in and also where it is based.
