COMMON QUESTIONS
Answers to things you may be wondering before we start working together.
WHERE ARE YOU BASED?
I work at The Performance Space, a private training facility in Salford. However I also offer online programming and coaching.
DO YOU ONLY TRAIN FEMALE CLIENTS?
Definitely not! I've got experience training female, male and people of other gender identities. I don't discriminate and treat each person as an individual.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO WORK WITH YOU?
Prices vary. It depends on the service you want and is all discussed with you in your initial consultation before agreeing to work together.
HOW LONG DO YOU NORMALLY WORK WITH PEOPLE FOR?
How long is a piece of string? This is hard to answer. We can discuss things like this in the initial consultation as well as outlining your goals, background and what you're looking to get from working with a coach. Ultimately, how long we work together depends on you! Some people will stay longer than others naturally. I've worked with some of my people for years, because they saw so much value in working with a coach.
I generally ask people for a minimum of two month commitment; I want people to give themselves time to work on new actions, settle into new routine and their bodies time to respond. Rather than chasing a quick fix, this is a long term sustainable life change. There is a 30 days cancellation period, whereby the client must give me prior notice before ceasing our working relationship. This will be discussed in person during the consultation call/meeting. Please note, in certain accentuating circumstances, this may be more flexible, but will be judged on a case by case basis.
HOW LONG ARE TRAINING SESSIONS?
1-2-1 sessions last for an hour. This includes a warmup (normally done before your session or can be done together), the main body of the session and then a cooldown. If you require shorter sessions, you would still book for the hour slot unless otherwise agreed.
I'M BRAND NEW TO EXERCISE, DO I NEED EXPERIENCE IN A GYM TO WORK WITH YOU?
No! I've worked with people with a variety of backgrounds, experience levels and training goals, and am well-versed in creating training programmes to meet client requirements.
I'D LOVE TO TRAIN WITH A FRIEND. DO YOU OFFER GROUP SESSIONS?
Absolutely. You can book one off group sessions or if it's something you are looking for on longer term, we can chat about this too. This will be done in a consultation process, where I will chat with each person individually, go through a pre-training lifestyle review and then devise individualised programmes suitable to each person within your group! It's more ideal if the groups goals/objectives align, howe
I'M WORRIED ABOUT STARTING...
That's understandable. Change can be daunting, as can meeting someone new. Just know that I'm here to support you, not judge you! I'm on your side and I want whoever comes to work with me to feel comfortable doing so.
DO I NEED TO BRING ANYTHING TO OUR SESSIONS?
I would recommend a water-bottle and a towel. If you require any medication, mobility tools or supports, please bring these too! Other than that, just yourself & a willingness to learn!
