Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during my free initial consultation?
Your free initial consultation is a relaxed and informal meeting that allows us to explore your health and fitness
goals in greater detail. This consultation is obligation-free. If by the end of the consultation
you would like to go ahead and begin
personal training we can book your first training
session and agree upon a start date. But no matter what you decide, we hope the meeting will leave you feeling even more
motivated to take action towards a healthier lifestyle!
How is my progress measured?
With your first training session you will receive a free health and fitness assessment which will include measurement of weight, body fat,
resting heart rate, blood pressure, body mass index, cardiovascular fitness and muscular strength. These measurements can be repeated at
set stages throughout the course of your training program in order to measure your progress.
Do I need to be physically fit to have a personal trainer?
No. Most people who come to us are either new to fitness or are returning to fitness after a period of inactivity.
We will carry out a health assessment to ensure that you are medically safe to train, as well as a simple fitness test that will help to determine the level of
exercise that is right for you.
How quickly can I lose weight with a motivate personal trainer?
Clients generally notice fat loss and muscle toning within a matter of weeks. Some clients may lose up to 14 pounds of body fat in their first month. The exact rate of weight loss will vary from
client to client and is dependent on your starting weight, gender, metabolism,
weight loss history and the type of training program you are following. For best results, we advise that clients follow their chosen program for a minimum of 3 months.
What equipment and clothing do I need in order to train?
We will bring with us all the necessary equipment for your workouts. You
will need to provide yourself with clean trainers and sensible workout clothing such as jogging bottoms and t-shirt. We will also
require you to provide yourself with a bottle of drinking water and a towel. We will always arrive
approximately 5-10 minutes before your session is due to start in order to set up any equipment.
My home is quite small, will there be space to train?
The equipment that we use is designed to be small and compact. We have trained clients for many years and have yet
to find a client's home that is too small for us to train in.

"I made it my New Years resolution to get myself a personal trainer. From my very first meeting with David I felt motivated to really make this the
year to get in shape. David provided me with a tailored nutritional program and we met twice a week for workouts.
Within 4 weeks I had already lost 1 stone of body fat! I feel fantastic and so motivated to continue.
If you are looking for a personal trainer that gets results I highly recommend Motivate PT."
