The Process

Our journey includes simple, no-nonsense steps to becoming fitter, stronger and more confident.

STEP 1:  INITIAL CONSULTATION

Conducted in-person at the studio the (free) initial consultation is an important part of the process as it ensures that I create a training programme that is personalised for each client and designed to achieve their specific goals. We discuss goals, previous experience, likes/dislikes, any important medical notes and it gives clients an opportunity to find out about me and get a sense of how I work with clients.

STEP 2: EXERCISE INDUCTION

In this session I go through a client’s customised training programme in detail including a full induction of all the exercises in their programme (including any ‘DIY’ sessions they may do at home).

STEP 3: 1-2-1 TRAINING SESSIONS

All my clients follow an exercise programme, increasing the weight/repetitions progressively and using “intensity techniques” to get the best out of every workout. Each session’s achievements are recorded on the online programme to track progress and set achievable targets for forthcoming sessions.

STEP 4: REFLECTION

Exercising and training isn’t about completing a routine, getting good at it and then doing the same thing over-and-over again. At the end of each training phase I do a reflection session with clients to review progress (and challenges) and discuss plans for the next phase of training.

Why choose us?

Truly personalised approach:

Everyone is unique - clients’ bodies, experience and mental and physical abilities all vary and so whether the goal is gaining strength, getting leaner or more flexible, I create training programmes and a style of training that is specifically tailored to them and adapts as their needs and goals change.

Experience working with existing medical conditions:

I have experience working with clients who have a range of chronic and post-injury conditions and have specific experience helping clients with back-related issues improve their mobility and quality of life. Information on my approach and to hear clients’ experiences can be found on my website - https://www.sparkmovegrow.co.uk/backpain.

Interest in link between mental health and physical health:

I am passionate about the impact exercise can have on peoples’ mental well being and how exercise can create a more positive lifestyle. My passion comes from my own experience working in the advertising industry in London for 15 years and my decision in my mid 30s to pursue a career in personal training.

Escape the crowds - train 1-2-1 in the private studio:

Training in a gym can be an intimidating experience and isn’t for everyone. I have a private training studio where clients train on a 1-2-1 basis. There’s no waiting for equipment or worrying about how you look in front of other people. You can find more about the studio here: https://www.sparkmovegrow.co.uk/studio

Focus on long term, sustainable change:

Most people can go on a crash diet and/or intense fitness regime and see results in a short space of time. However, in order to achieve a sustainable transformation, you need a plan and approach to keep you motivated whilst delivering short term manageable, realistic goals. The majority of my clients have been with me for 2yrs+ and continue to achieve their goals.

Personal Trainer Bracknell - FAQs

Some frequently asked questions about personal or physical training in Bracknell are:

“Why should I hire a personal trainer when I can just do it myself?

Whether you’re looking to get leaner, stronger or improve your overall fitness or mobility, you need a tailored programme to give you the best chance of achieving your goals (and stop progress from stalling). I provide clients with training programmes and techniques based on scientific research and the motivation and experience to help them achieve their goals.

“I’m not sure I’m able to commit to paying for 12 sessions up-front”

I provide a range of options including paying in 6 week instalments.

“I haven’t done any exercise before/for a long time and feel nervous about doing so”

A lot of my clients haven’t been in a gym for a long time and are understandably nervous about exercising. As part of the initial consultation I find out what (if any) experience new clients have of exercise so I can create a training programme that introduces exercises slowly and provides a solid foundation for progressing over time.
