What type of physical activity will I be doing during a session?
Each session will start with a warm up, a mobilization of the major joints and muscles to be used and some brief stretching. Each session ends with a cool down period and some stretching. The backbone of most types of exercise programs is aerobic work, which can include walking, jogging, running, cycling and stepping. Usually at least one to two resistance sessions per week is recommended and free weights and resistance bands are used. A popular type of session is circuit training where many different types of exercises can be incorporated from resistance to aerobic work. Basically, your schedule will be tailored to your tastes and goals and you won't have to do any exercises that you detest. The idea is to make it enjoyable and fun.

Can I only have a few sessions?
Yes you can, but for optimum results we recommend at least three months of Personal Training, although some results may be seen in just six weeks.
Will exercising with weights make me bulky?
Not unless you want it to. One of the most common fears among women is that resistance training will make them too muscular. Creating muscle tissue to an extent of over-muscular or bulky is very difficult and requires a great deal of training using heavy weights, so you are constantly overloading the muscles to stimulate growth. While training for fat loss you shall not be constantly overloading your muscles to the extent that you'll gain large proportions of muscle. With a varied routine and adequate rest this is not a problem you shall need to worry about.

How often do I need to train?
Like most things in life, the more you put in the more you get out. The general consensus now is that people should be exercising 5-6 days a week for 30-40 minutes or more to gain significant health benefits. However, don't let this put you off. Significant benefits can be seen from three days a week and 2-3 sessions per week are sufficient for those who are out of condition.

Does every exercise session need to be with a Personal trainer?
No. It’s up to the individual.  If you wan us to train with you 6 days a week, We can, or you can chose one session a week (yes! You will still get results) if you prefer. We will give you a detailed schedule of what you should be doing during the other sessions.

What sort of people have a Personal trainer?
