Personal Training in Leicester

I believe in healthy, mind, body and spirit. I can't make you train, but once you decide you want to and commit to it - I'm there with you for the journey. The way it works is to design you an Optimum Performance Training program (OPT), using your input that is specific and tailored to your goals, safe, enjoyable and effective. 

When we first meet for a consultation, I can gather enough information to start designing your OPT. This will last roughly 30-45 minutes so I can get to know you and vice versa. This is really important as we both need to build a close relationship if we are to achieve your goals.

We would then complete a screening form, medical history, weight, blood pressure, BMI, goal setting, kinetic chain assessments and optional body fat test, circumference measurements and nutrition plans. Kinetic chain assessments refers to a head-to-toe fitness and performance evaluation. This assesses an individual’s strengths and weaknesses in the areas of posture, movement, strength, flexibility, and athletic performance. Before embarking on a training program, it is essential to correct any existing imbalances to ensure success. 

You would then complete a 1 hour workout with me concentrating on getting you closer to your goals. Your training program will always consist of 3 stages which are stabilisation, strength and power and will touch on these key areas:

• Stretching and Flexibility - Can prevent injuries, helps address muscle imbalances and to improve posture for a more effective workout.
• Cardiovascular Training - Improve efficiency of the heart and lungs, improve fitness level, stamina and increase the fat burning process.
• Core Stabilization - Helps in the reduction of the waist line, supports the back and other key areas and  allows you to perform your workout more efficiency.
• Balance Training - Challenge your body with new exercises that promote strength, tone and burn more calories.
• Reactive Training - Helps to increase your fat burning potential and daily tasks will become easier.
• Resistance Training - Improve all round muscle toning or muscle mass and makes for a more effective metabolism.

“NASM’s exclusive Optimum Performance Training method represents the industry’s first and only comprehensive training program based on current scientific research that provides undisputed results specific to individual needs and goals“.(Nasm.org)

Nutrition

I offer nutritional advice and guidance whilst you are undertake personal training.  To maximise your results you need to make overall changes to your eating habits as losing weight and increasing muscle tone is 70% reliant on your nutrition and what you put inside your body. Energy levels will also be affected so you completing a 7 day food diary I can analyse your eating patterns and suggest ways you can eat to help you achieve your goals. The fuel you put into your body will determine the outcome of your acheivements, so eating a healthy balanced diet has never been so important .
