What’s Included in a Fitness Consultation

  1. Pre-Consultation Questionnaire

Before your appointment, you’ll complete a short questionnaire covering:

  • Medical history and injuries
  • Lifestyle factors (work, sleep, stress, nutrition, activity levels)
  • Previous training experience
  • Short-term and long-term fitness goals

This helps us prepare and ensures your session is safe and effective.
 

  1. Health & Lifestyle Discussion

During the consultation, we’ll discuss:

  • Your current activity levels and routines
  • Barriers or challenges you’ve faced with fitness in the past
  • Time availability and preferences
  • Motivation and accountability needs

This conversation allows us to design a plan that genuinely fits your life.
 

  1. Physical Assessment (as appropriate)

Your consultation may include a series of simple assessments, such as:

  • Body composition
  • Mobility and flexibility checks
  • Basic strength and endurance assessments
  • Cardiovascular fitness indicators

All assessments are adapted to your ability level and comfort and are at your discretion.
 

  1. Goal Setting

Together, we’ll create clear and achievable goals that are:

  • Specific and realistic
  • Measurable and time-based
  • Aligned with your lifestyle and preferences

This ensures you leave with a clear sense of direction and purpose.
 

  1. Personalised Action Plan

You will receive a tailored plan based on your consultation, which may include:

  • Recommended training approach (gym, home, outdoors, or hybrid)
  • Weekly exercise structure
  • Key focus areas (strength, fat loss, mobility, conditioning, etc.)
  • Guidance on recovery and consistency

Where relevant, this plan can lead into personal or private training, group training, or independent workouts.
