What happens at your first conversation
A substantive conversation with an exercise-science professional. You should leave with useful insight into your options, whether or not you decide to train with us.
-
Complimentary, and substantive
It is not a sales appointment dressed up as a free session. It is a conversation about what you want to do and what is in the way.
-
With an exercise-science professional
Someone qualified to talk about your history and your goals, not a receptionist taking details.
-
Useful either way
You should leave understanding your options better than when you arrived, whether or not you enrol.
Who this is for
What people worry about beforehand
- That it is really a sales pitch with a different name.
- That you need to be fit enough to turn up.
- That you will be talked at in jargon rather than listened to.
- That you will be committed to something before you understand it.
What this is, and what it is not. This page explains what the consultation is for. Current duration, booking windows and who follows up are details to confirm with the team rather than assume from this page. To request one, use the contact form or call the studio.
How it works
What the conversation covers
-
What you want to be able to do
Travel, hobbies, keeping up with family, a specific goal. Not what you think you are supposed to want.
-
Your history, in full
Surgeries, injuries, the thing that flares up in cold weather, the sport you played at nineteen. It all changes the program.
-
Anything your care team has said
Bring restrictions, therapy notes or a post-operative protocol. We work inside them, and diagnosis and treatment stay with your licensed providers.
-
Body composition, if it is useful
Body-composition assessment is available. Ask which measures are worth taking for your goal.
-
What your options actually are
Studio, home or remote; one-to-one coaching or a weight-management pathway. Explained so you can choose.

Your coaching team
Who you would be working with
You work with a planned coaching team rather than being passed around at random.
A planned team, not a rota
Assignments are planned deliberately, so the people coaching you are chosen for complementary experience rather than whoever is free.
Shared notes
Your program, your history and what changed last session are written down and shared, so you are not starting the conversation again each time.
Continuity as your goals change
The same system is what lets your program keep moving when your goals, schedule or limitations change.
Exercise professionals, an intern and administration
Our practice brings all three together. Credentials are listed per person on the team page rather than claimed for the group.
Common questions
Before you get in touch
How long does it take?
Ask us when you get in touch — we would rather tell you the current answer than publish one that drifts.
Do I need to prepare anything?
Bring anything a clinician has given you, and wear something you can move in. Beyond that, come as you are.
Will I be measured or tested?
Body-composition assessment is available. Anything beyond that is a conversation to have with the team rather than a fixed protocol we would publish here.
What happens afterwards?
You decide. If we are not the right fit for what you need, you will be told that.
Is it really free?
Yes. The initial consultation is complimentary, at either studio.
