How do I get started?
Just call us to book in for a complimentary health & fitness assessment, or email us and we will send you a voucher.
How often should I exercise?
As a beginner, three exercise sessions a week is sufficient in order to see benefits. These sessions can be a mix of training with us and training on your own. Your sessions with us will involve a combination of resistance and cardiovascular training, tailored to your fitness level and goals. The intensity of your sessions will increase over time as your fitness improves.
I need to lose weight – do you offer any programs for weight loss?
All our sessions are tailored to meet your own personal goals. If your goal is to lose weight, we’ll help you do so in a safe and long-lasting way.
How long will it take to start to see results?
The moment you start an exercise program you will start to gain benefits including increased energy, increased circulation and burning calories. Visible results such as losing cms and increasing strength and fitness will take, on average, 4-6 weeks. With a focus on nutrition and lifestyle changes, as well as exercise, you’ll feel and see continual improvements.
How do I know if I need a personal trainer?
A personal trainer can help to motivate and push you to achieve your goals much faster than you may be able to on your own. Plus, it’s a lot more fun to have someone to train with!

What happens in the middle of summer when it is very hot?
We’ll find shady areas for you to train in, and provide sunscreen if you forget to bring your own. It is essential that you drink lots of water before and after these sessions.

We’ll train at areas that are well lit, so that it is safe and fun to continue you sessions during the darker winter months.

We offer a variety of session types: Personal Training, where it’s just you and your trainer; Buddy Training sessions, where you can train with a friend, or we can match you up with someone; or small group training, where you can train with other people in groups no larger than 5 people. All the sessions – whether with others or on your own – will be tailored to suit your goals and fitness level. We also have Mums with Bubs groups, a Running club, and courses in Boxing, Kickboxing, Yoga, Pilates, and BodyStretch.
