FAQs

What should I wear for personal training?

It is best to wear comfortable training clothes with grippy trainers. Depending on the time of year, you may want to wear your workout clothes but have some warm clothes on top which can be removed after the warm up.

How many times as week should I train?

This is a personal choice. I have found the ideal volume is 3-4 intense sessions per week. These sessions can be done through a combination of personal training, fitness classes or by yourself. However even one personal training session per week will bring about improvement.

What is the basic structure of each personal training session?

Each session begins with a gentle warm up. This is followed by some strength work using compound, functional movements. There will also be a conditioning element, which is a fun and faced past workout to burn fat. You will finish off with a gentle cool down.

Can we train outside?

I generally use the grounds around the gym during the summer months for outdoor training sessions. My fitness classes in the Dorchester area often take place outdoors weather permitting.

Can I train if I'm pregnant?

Yes. I've had great success with adapting my training methods to best serve women during pregnancy. Exercise and mobility play a crucial role in pregnancy and child birth.

Strength training and weight training for beginners doesn't need to be a minefield of confusion. In fact, it's a relatively simple way of exercising that uses resistance training in the form of free weights (e.g. dumbbells), fixed weights (e.g. barbells) and machine weights. But you're not alone if you're feeling overwhelmed when trying to start this way of working out. The weight training section of any gym can be daunting, however, Spike Fitness will guide you through the exercises ensuring your technique is correct and setting the correct weight settings to get you started. nFor more information, sign up to our newsletter at #Fitness #Instafit #Getfit #Fitspiration #Fitnessaddict #Fitnessmotivation #Fitnesslife #Fitnesslifestyle #Fitnessgoals #Fitnessfreak #Fitnessfreaks #Fitnesstips #Fitnessinspiration #strengthandconditioning #Fitnessblogger #Fitnessfun #Fitnessjourney #Fitnessgoal #Fitnessfood #Fitnesslove #Fitnesstransformation #Fitnesscoach #Fitnessforlife #Fitnessphysique #Fitnesswear #Fitnessjunkie #Fitnessguru #Fitnessaddicted...
