Fitness & Personal Training Questions in Chiswick

 

Are you qualified as a personal trainer?

 

Yes. I’m a fully qualified Level 3 personal trainer and continue to develop my knowledge through ongoing professional development. This allows me to coach safely and effectively, with a strong focus on movement quality, strength, and long-term progress.

 

I’m a complete beginner — do I need to be fit before starting?

 

No. Personal training is suitable for complete beginners and people returning to fitness. Training starts with an initial consultation and movement assessment so sessions can be adapted to your current ability and progressed gradually without feeling overwhelming.

 

I feel nervous about training with a personal trainer — what is your coaching style like?

 

Feeling nervous is completely normal. My coaching style is calm, supportive, and professional. Sessions focus on learning how to move well first, building confidence over time, and challenging you appropriately without shouting, pressure, or intimidation.

 

What types of personal training do you offer?

 

I offer one-to-one personal training, partner personal training, and online personal training. Coaching is movement-focused and includes strength training, mobility work, suspension training, and progressive conditioning tailored to your experience level, goals, and lifestyle.

 

Do you offer 30-minute personal training sessions?

 

Yes. Most sessions are delivered in a focused 30-minute format. Sessions are structured to prioritise movement quality, effective strength work, and consistency, making them ideal for busy schedules without compromising results.

 

How does suspension training improve strength and mobility?

 

Suspension training improves strength and mobility by using bodyweight exercises that challenge balance, joint control, and coordination. Movements are performed through controlled ranges of motion, helping develop functional strength while improving stability and movement quality at the same time.

What kind of exercises will we be doing?

 

Exercises are selected based on your movement ability, experience, and goals. Training may include bodyweight exercises, kettlebells, suspension training, and controlled strength work built around fundamental movement patterns such as squatting, hinging, pushing, pulling, rotating, and carrying.

 

What are the best functional strength training options in Chiswick?

 

Functional strength training focuses on improving how the body moves as a whole. This typically includes movement-based strength training, suspension training, resistance exercises, and progressive loading that supports everyday activities, joint health, and long-term mobility.

 

What is the best way to assess fitness issues?

 

The best way to assess fitness issues is through an individual movement and strength assessment. This looks at

posture, mobility, joint control, and basic movement patterns to identify limitations and guide training safely and effectively from the start.

 

How do you track progress?

 

Progress is tracked through improvements in movement quality, strength, consistency, and how you feel day to day. Initial assessments provide a baseline, and training is adjusted over time as movement, confidence, and capacity improve.

 

Do you provide fitness plans as part of personal training?

 

Yes. Personal training includes a tailored training plan designed around your movement ability, goals, and lifestyle. Plans are updated as you progress to ensure training remains appropriate, effective, and sustainable.

 

How much does personal training cost?

 

Pricing varies depending on the type of training and frequency. Personal training is delivered in structured 30-minute sessions, with options available to suit different schedules. For current pricing and availability, please get in touch directly.

 

How do I get started?

 

Getting started begins with a conversation to understand your goals, experience, and any concerns. From there, we decide the most appropriate way to train and build a plan that supports better movement, strength, and long-term progress.
