Older Adult Training
Improve balance, increase metabolism, increase energy levels. Its not too late!
The vast majority of my clients are in their 60's, 70's and 80's. Training the older adult is my speciality. With adapted programmes tailored to suit clients of advanced years and sometimes complicated health conditions, I work with my clients to improve balance and posture, to boost metabolism, increase bone density and offset the muscle loss that can come with age and an all too often increasingly sedentary lifestyle. I consider many of my clients as friends and I care deeply about their goals.

Core Conditioning
The 'core' is made up of the muscles in your pelvis, lower back, hips and abdomen. With a strong, stable core you will have better balance, posture and control over your body. Your body will more efficiently absorb forces placed upon it. Every day actions like putting your trousers on or climbing a ladder will become easier.
We can all, without exception, benefit from a stronger core. I love core work and incorporate it in every single session, because it is so crucial to fitness, strength and injury prevention in all ages. No one escapes, and so far, no one has complained!

Weight Management and Nutrition
"I don't diet; I just eat according to my goals"
"Get fit in the gym, lose weight in the kitchen". No matter how much physical exercise you do, it is all too easy to sabotage your efforts with an unhealthy diet.
As we get older, we find we have to work a little harder to maintain our preferred physique, which we may have taken for granted in our younger years.
This is in part down to a slowing metabolism which results from an increasingly sedentary lifestyle. A vicious cycle ensues, which you can break by keeping active and eating healthily.
Together, we can look at your eating habits and I can offer nutritional advice and guidance if requested. I will work with you to make realistic, sustainable changes to your diet for the good of your long term health and fitness.
What to expect
Consultation
The initial stage in hiring any personal trainer should take the form of a consultation. This is your opportunity to explain what you want to achieve from fitness training, or perhaps, less specifically, just what it is you want to change about your current situation. This is also a good time to ask any questions you may have about me, my training style and what to expect in a session, so you are clear on all aspects of your training. At the end of the consultation you will be given a pre-exercise questionnaire, called a PAR-Q to complete and return before your Health and Fitness Assessment.
Assessment
This consists of a number of static and active tests, including blood pressure, lung function, body composition (optional), flexibility, postural assessments and aerobic function. The information gathered during this session will enable me to produce a bespoke exercise programme to suit you, designed to enhance your strengths and rectify any weaknesses that may have been detected.
Training
Training sessions typically last one hour, including a warm up and cool down stretch. The type of exercise you do will reflect the devised programme, or variations of it, and will be adjusted as you progress to keep you physically challenged. Repeating a workout has two main benefits - 1) it's easy to measure your progress and 2) as you become familiar with the exercises you will perform them more efficiently without having to wait for repeated demonstrations. This means more time working out and better results! I do change programmes periodically however, so you don't get bored, and your body avoids the dreaded 'plateau' where progress slows or stops.
I welcome feedback, both positive and negative because open communication between us is vital to keep you motivated, happy and achieving!
