Frequently Asked Questions
There's no such thing as a silly question
What is required from me before I start online coaching?
We schedule a telephone call with all our clients before commencing any personal training programme in order to complete a health questionnaire which discusses previous medical history, current medical problems if any and current health and fitness habits.
The health questionnaire enables us to gain a insight into your current health and fitness status in order to devise an appropriate programme.
Furthermore, we discuss your goals.
Is there a cancellation policy?
Clients on online monthly coaching programmes must give 1 months notice before cancelling their programme.
All online coaching programmes are non-refundable.
How many calories do I need to have to lose weight?
This is trial and error and will be different for everyone. But a good place to start is by tracking what you currently eat and then reducing your calories by a couple of hundred.
Stick with this number of calories for 2 weeks. After the 2 weeks if you have lost weight then continue on these calories, if you haven’t then decrease by 100 calories.
However, for more advice please check out my online programmes.
How many times per week do I need to workout to lose weight?
Exercise is only a small part of the picture. Nutrition is very important, as are how active you are outside of workouts.
So providing you have your nutrition on track, I would aim for 1000 steps more than you are currently doing every day to start with.
If you are new to exercise then I would start slowly by 1-2 workouts per week in addition to daily steps.
