Our personal training sessions are 60 minutes in length. They comprise a warm-up at the beginning, a work section in the middle and finally a cool down at the end.

Your initial session with us is an assessment, used alongside the online PARQ (Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire) you already completed and the early conversation with the MP team you would have had to discuss goals etc.

From then on your programme and personal training sessions can adapt each time you train depending on how you are that day, energy levels, what you achieved that week.

The elements that make up our personal training sessions

The following elements are commonly featured in our sessions:
