Get the most from your training

Having a personal trainer might seem like an indulgence, but if you're short of time, stuck in a training rut or working towards a particular goal, such as a 10K, half marathon or marathon, it can revolutionise your exercising. 

• Effective  We're all busy, and it can be hard to find the time to exercise but a personal trainer will look at your lifestyle and devise a plan that will make the most of whatever time you have. Whether it's a 30 minute blast or a 60 minute intense work-out, he or she will push you to achieve the maximum results, in a safe, enjoyable session. 

• Uplifting  It will take time and patience to acheive your fitness goals but your coach will take the journey with you. Your confidence will grow each week as you become stronger and you'll feel the benefits in every area of your life, with more energy, flexibility and better sleep patterns. 

• Varied  Training alone can be boring, and it's easy to stick to the same routines but a personal trainer will mix up your exercise schedule, making your sessions far more interesting and more beneficial. Your trainer will also help you to improve in one area, such as your running stamina and speed, by introducing complementary strength training. 

• Fun  Sessions with your trainer will be hard work but they will also be full of laughter and, hopefully, awash with a sense of achievement as you improve, week on week. You'll try new trends, such as Tabata, or boxercise, and learn the best techniques to help you exercise smarter in the future.
