The One to One Process
- Needs Wants Ambitions
First there’s the discussion of your needs, wants and ambitions. That may be simply to lose weight and tone-up. For others it might be the need to be stronger, faster or have more endurance. Or a combination of all three. At the elite level be the difference between playing for the first team rather than being on the bench or in the second eleven.
- Exercise Prescription
Then there is the exercise prescription – a bespoke programme made for one person, YOU. There needs to be a subset of objectives and goals with a concomittent timetable. The schedule will be real and achievable and tailored to your time available. Then there is the execution, the review, the progression and the re-setting of new more challenging targets. It is up close and personal and it works!
- Best Results
For best One-to-one results the minimum number of sessions would be six, and that presupposes that the trainee will carry out some training un-supervised. There might be phone call or e-mail feedback and consultations, but if there is adherence to the programme (as mutually agreed) there will be progress.
The training package can also be individualised according to client needs. One of our national squad members will book up to 10 weeks of sessions between tours. We’ll work on bringing him back up to speed, perhaps do some body re-balancing and buttress some of the weaknesses. Alternatively, for one of our weight reduction and toning clients there was an initial 10-week programme of weekly sessions; a 3-month review followed by a couple of weeks of development sessions; then another 3-month gap. For some athletes we work regularly in the off-season – two or three times per week - but see very little of them in-season. And for some of our clients the process is ongoing.
Like the training programmes themselves the packages are tailored to suit your needs and resource both in terms of time and cost. But whatever the package we know that personal training, carried out with integrity, drive and expertise, really works!
