Personal training as unique as you are. We take your goals seriously and offer a bespoke, professional solution tailored to you. Get the very best results with Elements.
Your tailored training program journey — the Elements process.
Aid your long-term fitness development with a bespoke plan.
1. CONSULTATION
You will have an in-depth consultation session where our coaches will help gain an understanding of the direction your training should take based on your goals. This will include talking through fitness experience and any injuries. This is a relaxed discussion to get to know you as an individual.
2. ASSESSMENT
Based on your experience, ability, and on information gathered in Step 1, you will then be offered a session to assess where you are in relation to your goals. This should give us a set of results to see which areas need improvement to reach your goals. We assess basic movement, mobility and fitness at this stage.
3. FEEDBACK
You will then be shown the results by your coach, who will break down the reason for the results and highlight the key pillar(s) that require more or less focus. After this session, your coach will create a bespoke plan for you. This will include options for classes and a strategic workout plan that fits around your schedule and lifestyle.
4. PROGRAM DELIVERY / 1-1 SESSIONS START
With our thorough initial process complete, your coach is now well placed to begin working closely with you. Your plan will likely include additional Elements such as, lifestyle planning, nutritional guidance or exercise sessions to complete – you may even be provided with exercise videos to follow along to. You will be kept supported & informed, ensuring you have the ‘know how’ to achieve the results you want.
5. REVIEW, RESULTS & NEXT STEPS!
At relevant stages along your long-term roadmap, we will review your progress in key areas. The review allows you to see in data how you’ve improved, from (but not limited to) body composition, strength / power ratio’s, flexibility in specific areas and many more. It also allows you to plan the next steps of your training regime with your coach and discuss any changes you wish to make.
IS PERSONAL TRAINING AT ELEMENTS FOR ME?
It’s a common misconception that only beginners require a personal trainer. It is true that people with less experience in a gym environment can benefit from personal training, but they’re not the only ones…No matter your perceived ability – fitness level or goal – we will devise a program that gets you results!
If you participate in sport at any level, 1 to 1 training with our certified Strength & Conditioning coaches can help raise your game to the next level. Our bespoke training programs are tailored to suit athletic needs and the sport in which they partake. This can be catered for a variety of sports from Boxing to American Football, Cricket to Rowing, even Skiing!
If you’ve been training as an individual for some time, it may also benefit you; training alone can mean alterations in your form and technique that otherwise go unnoticed, and it doesn’t hurt to have a trained professional help you with longer-term planning of training – which forms the foundations of our planning.
Our personal training options can benefit anyone from a beginner right up to a seasoned professional. As long as you’re comfortable with taking accountability for your training and you’re ready to see results, PT at Elements will be a good fit for you. We also have a range of options to suit how 1-1 sessions would best suit you. Still on the fence? Contact us for a no-obligation discussion.
