• How does Personal Training work?

The client contacts me and books a FREE counseling. During the counseling we get to know each other and identify the client’s target and what can be achieved. Then the client decides how many sessions they want to book with me per week or per month. I will create a training plan based on the client’s needs and during the training session I teach the client how to correctly perform the exercises and using the equipment.
A nutritional diary will also be sent by email to verify if the client needs any nutritional advice.
The client is educated about how to perform the exercise, how much intensity they should apply and how to workout to achieve result so that at some point the client will not need me anymore and will be able to workout by themself.
