What is a Personal Trainer?
A Personal trainer is a fitness professional who is hired for private instruction, one-on-one or in small groups. They will help you to maintain a healthy physical condition by designing an effective and safe exercise plan for you. A personal trainer can also offer advice on nutrition, and can develop healthy meal plans for you to help improve your eating habits. They should also be registered with a professional fitness body, such as the Register of Exercise Professionals in the UK, with whom I am registered (membership No. R0025844). To check my membership click here and go to “REPs Registered Instructors”.

The services I offer below can be provided at your own home or other convenient location.

Stress Relief & Toning

Yoga:
A recently sponsored study by ACE (American Council of Exercise) showed that Hatha Yoga or Asthanga Yoga (power Yoga) practised over 8 weeks three times per week increases significantly flexibility, muscular strength and endurance, balance and improves relaxation.  Please find a link on my blog page about a very recent study.

Core Stability / Torso Training

Pilates:
Pilates focuses on developing strength of the torso through appropriate use of the spinal muscles which act as stabilisers and create support for the spine.

I perform mat workouts with my clients,  but I have a Pilates Reformer as well at my home for those who want to try and go onto the next level in Pilates.
