Personal training

Our six-week programme

Every new client of ours goes through our six-week programme. This is the minimum amount of time we need with you to achieve long-term results. Our six-week programme starts with a 60-minute assessment and follows with two personal training sessions per week over a six-week period (13 sessions in total including the assessment).

Having completed your assessment, you will be provided with a full breakdown of your hormonal analysis, day-to-day meal plans and six-week goals to work alongside throughout the programme.

Hormones and fat loss

We work very closely on a hormonal level with all of our clients which directly contributes to the way your exercise and nutrition plan is designed. Hormones including testosterone, oestrogen, cortisol and insulin all play crucial roles in where you store fat and how efficient your body is at burning it. Our assessment will allow us to determine how best to address these hormonal imbalances to improve your health and maximise your fat loss results.

Your exercise programme

Every programme we design starts with an assessment. The practical part focuses on establishing exactly which type of exercise programme best suits your bodytype. We will look at your genetic structure and determine the fundamental backbone to a programme, which will allow you to reach your goals as quickly as possible.

Your nutrition plan

The theory side of the assessment allows us to assess your hormonal profile and body composition. We will look specifically at where and why you store body fat in certain places; we will link this to hormonal imbalance and design a nutrition plan for you based on the results.

We will provide you with day-to-day meal plans to work alongside your tailor made exercise programme. Your nutrition plan will include all of your meals, including snacks and any recommendations on supplementation (if required).

For our male clients

Our programmes favor the functional approach to exercise. This means that aswell as focusing on getting you lean; we also prioritise improving your overall athletethism. I.e. being leaner, stronger, fitter and having great core strength. This is what we deem to be ‘in good shape’ and this is direction we guide all of our male clients in.

This means that our programmes include a mixture of weight training, body weight exercises, fat burning cardio and kickboxing. All of these ingredients work towards a lean and functional physique.

For our female clients

Exercising at the wrong intencity is a common mistake made, which results in the frustration of not achieving your goals. We prioritise establishing exactly which type of programme best suits your body type to burn optimum amounts of fat. In many cases, this actually means reducing the amount of long cardio sessions and focusing on a higher intencity programme which offers far higher return in fat loss. We will work out which type of programme will give you the most bang for your buck and base your programme around these principles.
