How do I find a personal trainer?

We have many ways to guide you in connecting with one of our expert Personal Trainers (PTs). The best way is to say hello to them directly and ask a question. They'll be more than happy to assist. In addition, a great place to enquire is via reception and/or your club Personal Training Manager. We also have in-club and online PT profile boards to assist you in checking out the specialties and qualifications of our team. Ask reception for directions to our in-club board and see your club's page on the website. 

I’ve never used a gym before. What support is on offer?

Our goal is to not only help you reach your goals, but to help you create a lasting fitness habit.    That’s why there are members of the fitness team in club to help with advice on training and nutrition, industry-leading instructors to support and guide you in our Group Exercise classes and a network of Personal Trainers ready to motivate you throughout your fitness journey.    Reach out to one of our fitness professionals and you'll have access to support, motivation and fitness expertise.

Not at all. In fact, if you’re looking to build up your fitness the gym is the best place for you. But one thing is certain: with our passionate fitness teams you’ll be on your way to feeling stronger and more energetic in no time.  

I'm new to classes. Are there any I shouldn’t do?

Classes are suitable for all fitness levels and there is plenty of variety to ensure there’s a class to suit all training styles. Don’t be scared to try something new. If you find it isn’t for you, simply try something else next time but you never know, you might discover a talent you never knew you had.  

Generally, it's a good idea to try a class three times before making a call that it doesn't suit you. Let your instructor know that you’re new to the class before it starts so they can help you along the way.
