Diets Don’t Work Personal Trainers do sessions in your home, garden and outdoors in parks and green spaces. You might think that your home has no real area for working out, but our trainers are experienced and creative, able to work with any type of space from the living room floor to the garage or garden. Your workout will be equally effective! We also encourage sessions outdoors as these have proven benefits over gym based training both in added calorie burn and increased feelings of wellbeing.

No, we will bring all necessary equipment to you. The equipment needs minimal room indoors and is equally flexible outdoors. Our trainers focus on functional, varied and interesting exercises. We use reweights, kettle bells, stability balls, boxing gloves and pads, skipping ropes, TRX suspension trainers, swing sticks, bodyweight exercises, steps, resistance cables and floor mats. Your body is also an extremely effective tool for exercise – lots of training can be done with no kit at all!

The consultation is a chance for you to meet your prospective trainer and to find out about the sessions, what sort of training methods we use and any other information that you need from us. There are some health screening aspects to the consult like blood pressure, resting heart rate and if needed a body fat % measurement. We also take a snapshot of sleep patterns, mental well-being, how you feel about eating, what your weak spots are and your potential strengths. For us it’s a chance to build up as detailed a picture as possible of where you are now, what factors contributed to getting you there and how long the process has taken. A bit like in “Air crash investigation”. With this detailed information we can then come up with the strategies that will help you succeed. There’s absolutely no pressure to sign up for any sessions during or after the consultation – if you’d like to think about it or feel it’s not for you that’s fine.
