What it’s like to work with me?

Prior to your first Personal Training session we will have a free, in person, initial consultation.  During this session we will have the opportunity to discuss your needs, lifestyle, injuries and what you are expecting from a personal trainer.  

During the second half of your initial consultation we will run through a range of movements, which will allow me to evaluate the way you move, your flexibility, mobility and stability.  This will let me best plan for your future personal training sessions.

Overall your initial consultation will take 50 - 60 minutes.

Following on from your initial consultation and movement assessment, your bespoke personal training sessions will then begin. Each session is structured with a dynamic warm up, a main session incorporating lower and upper body exercises (all specific to your goals) using a variety of equipment, followed by a short capacity workout, which will increase your heart rate, or some core work.  We will end on a cool down with some stretches.

We will regularly assess your progress on the range of movements completed during the initial consultation and those movements appropriate to your goals.  We’ll also regularly measure how you are progressing against your goals, so you can celebrate your achievements and successes!

Kind words…

  • As a woman entering her 40s it was very important to me to find the right sort of training to improve my strength, prevent injuries and get all of those added benefits of increased muscles mass like improved bone density. There is no aggression or shouting in her bootcamps yet Emily’s expertise and calm, consistent approach with a focus on sustainable development week on week enables steady progress towards my goals. I wouldn’t let anyone else train me now!

    Hayley

  • I was a total newcomer to strength training before finding Emily, and I can attest that she is an exceptionally talented trainer who has demystified all things fitness-over-40 for me. Emily delivers a skilful blend of crystal clear explanations of the tasks along firm motivation and encouragement to give your best during the sessions. This, together with an innate lightness of touch and approachability makes her such a superstar - I cannot recommend her highly enough.

    Ellie

  • I'd taken a few classes within a gym environment before starting with Emilly & I thought I was in reasonable shape. After the first session I hurt in places I didn't know possible! Her attention to detail & ensuring that we are in the correct posture to maximise our gain is outstanding. After a year of bootcamp with Emily I'm now training for a marathon & her strength training is the foundation of my running.

    I cannot recommend Emily highly enough.
