Common Questions
Is the session suitable for beginners?
Yes, we work with people of all fitness levels, from complete beginners to experienced athletes. Our approach is always tailored to your current ability level with appropriate progressions to help you improve safely.
What is your cancellation policy?
Cancel or reschedule up to 24 hours before without charge; late cancellations may incur a partial fee.
Do you cater for injuries?
Yes — we design safe alternatives and, where necessary, liaise with healthcare professionals for a coordinated approach.
What is the difference between a personal trainer and an Accredited Exercise Scientist?
A personal trainer typically holds a certificate-level qualification and focuses on fitness and general health goals. An Accredited Exercise Scientist (AES) has a university degree in Exercise Science and applies scientific principles to design evidence-based exercise programs with a deeper understanding of exercise physiology and biomechanics.
What can I expect from my first session?
Your first session includes a comprehensive assessment covering your health history, current fitness level, movement quality, and goals. We'll discuss your preferences and any concerns before designing your personalised training program.
How often should I train?
Training frequency depends on your goals, current fitness level, and lifestyle. Generally, 2-3 sessions per week provide excellent results for most people, but we'll customise this based on your individual needs and schedule.
Can you help with specific goals like weight loss or muscle building?
Absolutely! We specialise in designing programs for specific goals whether that's weight loss, muscle building, strength improvement, or general fitness. Your program will be tailored to optimise results for your particular objectives.
