Outstanding client relationships
A professional, caring, attitude.
I am proud that people choose me to be their Personal Trainer.

Methods of training.

The types of training depend very much on your goals and your current health and fitness levels.

The following are a sample of the types of training that may be utilised:

Conditioning

Functional fitness

Resistance

Cardio

Bodyweight

Weights

Kettlebells

TRX straps

Yoga

If you are well motivated and don't feel you need ,e to watch over you at every step then consider Online Coaching, I'll give you a plan that will work for you.

Where can I have Personal Training sessions?

Within reason, anywhere.

If you are online then wherever you have an internet connection.

When there is no corona virus lockdown in place then as a Mobile Personal Trainer I can come to you.

If you think your house is too small you'd be surprised at just how little space you need to have an effective workout..

I have been on contracts where I have lived in a hotel room for 6 months - I know that it is possible to get an excellent workout having only enough space to swing a cat, ok, not a very precise measurement - enough space on the floor for a rollmat (about 6 foot by 2 foot).

We can also train outdoors. Gardens/parks, etc.

Or we can train at Scotch Corner Gym or Evolution in Northallerton. Unfortunately, I can't just turn up and train you at your local gym - some gyms won't allow non-staff to do PT at their location and many other gyms will, but typically for a lot of money per month, much more than one person paying me for one session a week!

Mobile PT sessions cover Northallerton, Catterick, Richmond, Leyburn, Masham,Knaresborough, Harrogate, York, Darlington and Middlesbrough.

When can I have Personal Training sessions?

Within reason, at a time to suit you. However that is not quite true because it's also a first come, first served basis. Well, that and if you want out of hours training e.g. 3 a.m. then you will have to pay a serious premium! For your convenience you may want to consider Online Coaching instead of Personal Training. Currently only available as online PT due to the lockdown

Where and when can I have Yoga sessions
Both private sessions and group classes are available online.

After lockdown I can come to you for private classes.

Where and when can I have Nutrition Coaching sessions?

At a time and place to suit you. As long as you have internet access then the ongoing coaching is there, daily, to help you work towards healthier eating habits. We can also have pre-arranged coaching sessions via video chat (e.g. Facetime, Zoom, Skype).

Where and when can I have Sports Massage?

Again, I am mobile I can come to you as long as you are in the areas mentioned for mobile PT. Unfortunately, whilst the corona virus lockdown is in place this service is not available.

What type of clients do I work with?

I have a variety of clients. Whilst many PT's might only want to train elite athletes to become thousandths of one second faster, or to jump centimetres higher, or further, when I first qualified I found there weren't really any Elite Athletes:

1. Living nearby

2. Requiring a Personal Trainer

3. That hadn't been qualified for very long

So initially I took on every client I could get. (every new PT does)

It was a great learning experience. I found that I actually enjoy having to think about what will really works for each and every client, which is good because I predominantly had clients that other PT's had turned away, they saw them as 'too much work' due to their injuries or how out of shape the person might be.

I know from my time served working as a PT in gyms, that many PT's have one formula that they will use with everyone and if it doesn't work, well, it must be because you aren't trying hard enough!

With some of these PT's it was a really hard trying to decide if they were incredibly lazy or just stupid?

I like seeing success clients have had with me after coming to me with a range of illnesses, injuries, conditions and in some cases a general lack of motivation.

So what sort of clients have I had?

* Male

* Female

* Young

* Old

- somewhere in-between

*Fit and healthy

* Completely unconditioned

- somewhere in between

Suffering from any of: fibromyalgia, arthritis, kneecap removed, mastectomy, bones that were broken and not set correctly, metal plates in certain parts of the body, SPD, hypermobility, lack of motivation,,, just to mention a few.

I no longer take everyone as a client but I still like a variety of clients. You bring the will and together we will find the way!

Nutrition Coaching

Most people assume this is only for those that want to lose weight. This service works for people that want to lose weight, it also works for those that want to gain weight, or try to stay consistent with their weight.

It is not a diet.

It is about eating real food.

It is about forming healthy habits towards food that will last forever.

Yoga

Anyone and everyone!

People that have done yoga before

People that have never done yoga before

Elite athlete trying it out to see if it would help his performance (it does and he keeps coming back)
