My clients have ranged from complete beginners to advanced level trainees. What ties everyone together has been the desire to do more and to be more – inside and outside the gym.

It typically suits those who'd benefit from face-to-face help, regular accountability and an accelerated learning environment. You need to be 'ready, willing and able' to engage in a programme that will ask you try new things, keep to new habits and treat your programme as one of the priorities in your life.

Absolutely not

The best way is to get started and get guidance, support and good habits in place, in order to break through the obstacles that have held you back in the past.

This depends on a few factors:

• How many sessions a week you opt for (I provide my recommendation during our consultation)

• Whether you're getting PT as an individual or as part of a group

• Whether you're a student or not

I have 16 price points based on the variables above, so you'll be advised of your personal pricing during your free consultation. I offer reduced rates for those taking more sessions weekly, students, groups and (beyond the Test Drive) those who opt for longer-term agreements.

Fear not: I always have a couple of alternatives for you, should price ever be an issue and, from an ethical standpoint, I never take a client on if I feel it would overly stretch them financially. If PT is out of your budget, there are many other ways to work with me.

Personal Training represents an investment in yourself. It is a premium service, but the value my programmes deliver is very high.

I'm able to train a maximum of four people simultaneously, provided they have similar goals and ability levels. This has been a very popular option for some of my clients who want to step up their training with their friends, partner, colleagues and so on - at a reduced per person price.

Simply tap any of the buttons on this page and you can book a Group PT consultation free of charge.

I've begun training people who have never set foot in a gym prior to their first session with me...all the way up to athletes who are highly experienced and competent.

In short - your experience level isn't even a factor with me. This, combined with my empathetic approach means I'm the go-to trainer in gyms for those who are new.

A popular question - and it all depends on your starting point and goal(s), consistency, genetics and starting body composition. Some notice changes in weeks, others in months - it varies.

What I will say is that I have an excellent track record of delivering results across all 4 Pillars (fitness, nutrition, lifestyle and mindset) very quickly. You can also expect to notice positive changes to your physical and mental health during our time together. I am a responsible coach, so you'll work up to more advanced exercises, nutritional protocols and so on at a pace, based on 9+ years experience, that I deem appropriate. We never crash diet or have you performing unsafe exercises.

I build results that last for years.

I see Personal Training clients in the gym Monday to Saturdays currently.

Beyond this, my overall business hours can be found here.

Absolutely.

I've worked with nurses, firefighters, restaurant workers, store employees and many more who have changing shift patterns - often week by week.

Ordinarily I do prefer regular consistent weekly session slots, but this is the real world. I have been a shift employee for many years myself and try and accommodate this with my clients.

In practice, we'd work around the clients who do have their regular slots. As these will have been decided far in advance, it would be a case of you picking up the remainder - and you'd need to be flexible enough to accommodate this - coming in on your day off or before/after your shift if needed.

I have a great track record helping shift workers using my systems. If it really isn't possible to fit in sessions, I do allow them to be carried over up to a point (this depends on how long your programme is). Carry-over sessions are there in case you took a holiday or had an emergency, but we'd work together to minimise these being used. The more you're able to meet your weekly sessions, the better your results.

The vast majority of the people I coach have invested into a long-term plan.

With this comes the need for a level of flexibility and realism on both sides. We all take holidays and have events and things to attend.

For Test Drive clients, I allow a maximum of one weeks worth of sessions to be carried over (for planned breaks, illness, emergencies, etc). On longer-term PT programmes, I can allow up to four weeks carry over - it all depends on the programme length you opt for.

Ultimately, progress can be severely hindered with a stop-start approach, and these caps reflect both my flexibility and desire for you to do well.

In some cases, extensions are instigated by me. Three times a year, I have a two week 'shutdown' whilst I take a personal break - these are usually around Easter, summer and the Christmas/new year period. You get a further extension to your programme during this time (unless they coincide) with the added bonus of two free weeks of programming in all aspects. I set you up fully before I go, ensuring no progress is lost whatsoever.

Absolutely.

Many of my clients start with me with two or three crossover goals. For example, a beginner who'd like to reduce body fat. Or a member of a sports team, who'd like to improve performance and build muscle.

On your initial Q&A, I ask you to choose one primary goal (the most important short-term objective), but we can easily combine others. We'd chat about this during your consultation, if required.

We work in something called 'Training Blocks.' This is where we take, say, a 24 week programme and chunk it down into 4 blocks of 6 weeks. We then agree what we'd like you to have achieved in each of the 4 blocks.

By the end of your first block, you might feel that you're well on the path to progress. By the end of your second block you might even be ahead of schedule. Come the third block, you might have already achieved much of what you set out to do - in which case we pivot.

In some cases, pivoting is actually a desirable outcome. It means you've 'unlocked' other avenues of training and progression - and you're stimulated to try new things.

Take Kate, an initial body fat loss client - who reached her goals ahead of time and went on to focus on athletic performance (specifically Olympic Lifting).

Or Jack, another body fat loss client, who lost enough weight to be able to take up a new sport (in his case, American Football).

Progress should unlock doors. Ones you might not even have known existed until you start to get closer.

As your coach, I encourage you to pivot when the time is right and am able to support you fully with the transition.

I don't at the moment, no.

Do, however, feel free to email me (hello@thefitlife.co) if you have any specific requests - I have trained clients in their homes before and take requests on a case-by-case basis.
