Questions

Good to know.

The things people usually ask before they start. If your question is not here, call or message and I will answer it.

Training and online

Getting started.

Why work with a personal trainer?

A good coach corrects your technique so your body adapts faster, and helps you avoid the bad habits that take thousands of repetitions to undo. You also get a plan built for you, and someone keeping you accountable week to week.

Do I need to be fit to start?

No. Every programme opens with a full assessment and is built around where you are now, taking any past or present injuries into account. With a medical condition, please get an exercise referral from your GP first.

Do I need to diet as well as train?

Training and nutrition work together. Rather than a crash diet, we build a way of eating that fits your life and supports your goal.

Do I need expensive equipment to train at home?

No. Programmes are built around what you have, whether that is a full studio, a few items at home, or a park.

How soon will I see results?

Most people see and feel a change within a few weeks. Your programme is reviewed and progressed regularly so progress keeps coming.

How does online training work?

We meet over video for your sessions, you follow a tailored training and nutrition plan, and you have direct support through the week. It works much like an in-person session, from anywhere.

Sports massage

What to expect.

What happens at a massage appointment?

A short chat about what you want from the treatment and a brief consultation form, then the treatment itself, tailored to what your body needs.

Is it painful?

Deep work can be intense in places, but it should never be unbearable. I work with your feedback throughout and adjust as we go.

I bruise easily, can I still have a massage?

Usually yes. Tell me beforehand and I adjust the pressure and technique to suit you.

Do I have to undress?

Only to your comfort. You are kept covered throughout, and only the area being worked on is uncovered.

Am I expected to talk during the treatment?

Not at all. Some people like to chat, others prefer quiet. Both are completely fine.

Still have a question? Get in touch

Book a free consultation.

A quiet conversation about where you are and where you want to be. No pressure, and nothing to sign on the day.
