frequently asked questions
I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. Here are the most frequently asked questions. Feel free to contact me with any other queries you may have.
personal training questions
Do you have to be fit to have personal training?
No. It’s my job to get you fitter, so you don’t have to have any previous training.
How far are you prepared to travel for a home visit?
I will travel any distance. Each distance will be calculated and charged depending on travel time, mileage and traffic hotspots. Please see Prices for more details.
Can I mix my personal training, kickboxing and pilates into my workout?
Yes. I can tailor-make the workout to suit you. Your session can include anything, such as kickboxing, running and pilates. It’s up to you.
How many sessions do I need per week?
It all depends on four things: how much can you afford, how much time you have per week to train, how soon you would like to see results, and what your objectives are? Remember, if once a week is all you can manage - something is better than nothing.
How long does a session last?
I offer 30, 40, or 50 minute sessions
What do I have to wear during a session?
You should wear something that’s comfortable and non-restricting such as shorts and t-shirt or joggers, and trainers.
Kickboxing & Self Defence Questions
Do you have to be flexible to take part in a kickboxing session?
No. Flexibility training is part of the training. It is something that you develop over time.

Yes. Everyone is welcome.
