What does personal training involve?

Think of your Personal Trainer as your tutor, your motivator and your spotter.

After an in-depth consultation on your current lifestyle, and assessment of your fitness levels, your trainer will create an exercise plan for you to stick to each time you visit the gym. They will monitor your technique, challenge you to push yourself and educate you on how best to use the equipment in order to maximise results.

How Often Should I See My PT?

Many of our members meet with their Personal Trainer every week, sometimes twice a week, to ensure they are on target towards achieving their goals.

If you lack motivation and need a little more encouragement, you may want to meet with your trainer twice weekly. If you're happy to put your fitness plan into practice on your own, you might choose to meet your PT just once a week. 

YOUR FIRST PERSONAL TRAINING SESSION

During your first session with one of our Personal Trainers, we'll spend some time getting to know about your goals, your current lifestyle and timescales. This way, we can work towards achieving results within a realistic timeframe. 

We sat down with Personal Trainer and Fitness Team Leader, Jane, to find out what you can expect in your first Personal Training session. 

Choosing a Personal Trainer

Our older members tell us that Personal Training has helped to help treat a number of ailments including slow digestion, diabetes, osteoporosis, back pain and sleeping problems.

Is Getting a Personal Trainer Worth It?

Yes! Just ask our thousands of members who have achieved numerous fitness goals with their Personal Trainer. 

If you lack motivation or knowledge of how to improve your fitness, Personal Training is extremely worth the investment. You wouldn't try to change your own car battery without expert guidance... the same applies to your body!

WHAT SHOULD I ASK MY FITNESS PT?

"Find out about the results your Personal Trainer has achieved with other clients. This will give you an idea on what they're like to work with and the results they can bring." (Rachael, Village Gym Hull Personal Trainer)

"Ask your PT how you can best incorporate your training plan into your other life priorities. You are more likely to stick at it than consider it to be a chore." (Andy, Village Gym Blackpool Personal Trainer)
