I strongly believe something is better than nothing, and slow progress is still progress! If you have an injury, disability or limitation, we can still train. We may need to avoid certain exercises, only work on certain muscles or reduce the intensity of your workout and depending on the type and severity, you may need to re-consult a doctor about your exercise. We are happy to work with your healthcare team to find a way forward that puts your health and safety first.

It is absolutely fine, I am not expecting you to be perfect - we all have to start from somewhere. I will always work with you to find out at the start of our journey what you enjoy and dislike, which exercises you can do and which ones to avoid as well as tailoring workouts to suit injuries, disabilities or discomfort. While we are training, if you find a particular exercise too hard or your condition changes, just speak to me and I will change it for you. There are always options/alternatives to every exercise and we can adjust sessions e.g. have longer resting times or work on a different muscle group. At the end of the day I want you to be comfortable and enjoy the workout.

Before your consultation, you will fill in a questionnaire that is rather detailed but it helps us provide a really tailored service for you. It asks about lifestyle, goals, gym experience, likes and dislikes and more. We will then go through this form with you in your consultation as well as taking any necessary measurements or doing any fitness, flexibility or strength tests, but only if these are relevant to you.
