Frequently asked questions

Whether you are new to the gym or experienced and just looking to change things up, working with a Personal Trainer can be hugely rewarding.

  • A bespoke, personalised programme

Consultation

Expect to answer a series of questions based on your health and lifestyle. It is important to be honest  so we can create the best personalised programme for you. 

Personalised programme

Your Personal Trainer will create a fun and challenging programme tailored just for you. This programme can be adapted at any point if you or your trainer feels something is not working. Whilst it is important to choose exercises that are going to help you achieve your goal, it is equally important that you enjoy the workouts, so make sure you tell us about any exercises you really enjoy.

Nutrition and lifestyle guidance

Yes, that one hour in the gym with your trainer is important but we also look at the 23 hours outside of the session. Your Personal Trainer will be able to talk to you about your current lifestyle and nutritional habits and give you some pointers to help keep you on track.

One-on-one session

These sessions form the basis of our Personal Training programme where your Personal Trainer will take you through the programme they have designed for you. They will keep an eye on your form to make sure you are performing every exercise properly, maintain a log of your performance and push you to the best of your ability.

Ongoing support

Our team is there to help beyond your sessions - you can drop them an email if you have any questions or queries about your programme or need a little extra motivation! 

We have a variety of different Personal Trainers to choose from, which means you are sure to find someone right for you. 

We’re lucky to have a fantastic range of Personal Trainers who all have their own unique teaching style, personality and strengths. Our Personal Trainers have a variety of experience in different fitness areas and often hold additional qualifications, for example weightlifting, nutrition and exercise mechanics. Finding the right personality match is also important and we have both male and female Personal Trainers on hand to choose from.

Our instructors have provided a small bio about their specialities below, and you can contact that instructor with one click too!

To find the best fit for you, please chat to our fitness team at any of our three fitness suites and they’ll be happy to speak it through with you. Or, if you already know which Personal Trainer you’d like to work with, please contact them via the links below.

Our trainers can be adaptable to suit your needs with sessions able to be booked at both David Ross Sports Village and Jubilee Sports Centre. These sessions will usually take place in the fitness suites of the respective facility. If sessions are required at Sutton Bonington Sports Centre then we kindly ask for sufficient notice in advance, and our team will confirm if the request can be accommodated. 

If you are looking to book in for a single or block booking of personal training sessions and know which trainer you would like to train with, then simply click on the relevant contact button below and email over as much information about the sessions that you require as possible - for example, the amount of sessions and which times suit you best. Our instructor will then be best placed to get you booked in for your session(s). Sessions can also be booked in person at one of our fitness centres with a member of the fitness team.

If you are unsure on which trainer you would like to book in with, then please visit one of our fitness centres where you will be able to chat to our fitness team about your goals. The team can then best advise on who would be most suited to help you achieve your goals and get your session(s) booked in.

You can purchase a range of Personal Training packages depending on how many sessions you would like. Purchasing more than one session allows you to build a more comprehensive plan, but also provides better value for money. Sessions for groups of two people are also available with pricing plans also outlined below.
