Do I need a one to one assessment?

Yes, because this will give me the opportunity to meet you and answer any questions that you might have. My aim is to make you feel very comfortable and happy, that you are in capable hands whilst on the program. We will discuss what you want to achieve, Remember this should be something that is important to you. Once we have set some goals, we will then work together to ensure that you achieve them.

What do I wear?

Anything that is comfortable, e.g. loose clothing and sensible footwear.

What do the classes involve?

I work in accordance with the British Association Cardiac Prevention Rehabilitation guidelines to ensure that everyone is having a safe and effective workout. So please allow yourself at least 1 and half hours per session.  

Warm up: Preparing your body for exercise is extremely important in terms of safety and injury prevention and minimising the risk of angina and disturbance in heart rythem.

PULSE RAISING ACTIVITIES: This part of the class will get your heart working harder and your breathing will increase.

STRENGTH TRAINING: Resistance training with weights, Resistance bands or your own body weight this will help you to regain the physical strength and confidence to do daily tasks more easily.

Cool Down: This is as important as the other parts of your exercise session. A cool down will help to alleviate muscle soreness and prevent a sudden drop in both blood pressure and heart rate that could possibly lead to dizziness, fainting and other complications like arrhythmias.

Stretching: Should never be neglected as it keeps the muscles flexible, strong and healthy. It is very important in order to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Muscles shorten and

become tight so simple stretching exercises at the end of your session will help to lengthen the muscles, improve your flexibility and help to prevent injury.

After the class I will need to ensure that your heart rate and blood pressure has returned to normal before I allow you to go home. This is a great time for a group chat.

Will I be monitored during my session?

 Yes, as this will enable me to monitor your progress and set new goals for you, in order for you to achieve your targets.

How long does the course last?

Every person has different needs and goals and it is my aim to instil you with the knowledge, to lead an active and healthy lifestyle, and reduce your risk of future health problems. I do a 12-week starter program pack; this will enable you to get a feel for the class and see the short-term benefits what you’ve achieved.

Social and charity events?

Social events are an important part of this program, this enables people to interact and connect with other people on a similar journey.

I love taking part in charity events, and getting people involved to raise money for a good cause.
