Frequently asked questions

How do I know which coaching option is right for me?

It depends on the support you’re looking for. Personal Training offers hands-⁠on guidance and face-⁠to-⁠face coaching. Online Coaching provides a personalised training and nutrition plan with ongoing support while you train independently. Hybrid Coaching combines both. If you’re unsure, get in touch and we’ll find the best fit for your goals.

Do I need any gym experience to get started?

Not at all. Coaching is suitable for complete beginners through to experienced gym-⁠goers. Everything is tailored to your current ability, goals and confidence so you can progress at a pace that works for you.

Can coaching fit around my work and lifestyle?

Absolutely. Your training and nutrition are built around your schedule, commitments and preferences. The aim is to create a realistic approach that you can follow consistently without putting your life on hold.

Where does training take place?

All face-⁠to-⁠face Personal Training sessions take place at PureGym Neath. Online Coaching can be completed at a suitable gym of your choice, with your programme tailored to the equipment available to you.

What’s included with Personal Training?

Each package includes 60-⁠minute one-⁠to-⁠one sessions, a personalised training programme, exercise technique coaching and progress tracking. You’ll also receive guidance and accountability to help you stay consistent. Full nutrition coaching and weekly check-⁠ins are available through Online or Hybrid Coaching.

What’s included with Online Coaching?

Online Coaching includes a personalised training programme, nutrition targets and guidance, weekly check-⁠ins, progress tracking, exercise technique feedback and ongoing WhatsApp support. Your plan is reviewed and adjusted based on your progress.

What is Hybrid Coaching?

Hybrid Coaching combines four one-⁠to-⁠one Personal Training sessions per month at PureGym Neath with the full support of Online Coaching. You’ll receive hands-⁠on coaching alongside personalised training, nutrition guidance, weekly check-⁠ins and ongoing support between sessions.

Do I need a gym membership?

For Personal Training and Hybrid Coaching, you’ll need access to PureGym Neath. For Online Coaching, you can train at a suitable gym of your choice. Your programme will be designed around the equipment you have available.

How quickly will I see results?

This depends on your starting point, goals and consistency. Many people begin noticing improvements in strength, fitness and confidence within the first few weeks, while visible physical changes generally take longer. The focus is on sustainable progress rather than quick fixes.

Am I tied into a contract?

There are no long-⁠term contracts for Personal Training, with packages running on a monthly basis. Online Coaching is available in 4, 8 and 12-⁠week packages, so you can choose the level of commitment that suits you.

What happens after I apply?

Once you’ve submitted your application, I’ll review your information and get in touch to discuss your goals, the support you’re looking for and the best way forward. If you’re happy to proceed, I’ll guide you through onboarding and getting started.

How do I apply?

Simply head to the Services page and complete the application form for Personal Training, Online Coaching or Hybrid Coaching. If you’re unsure which service is right for you, feel free to get in touch through WhatsApp and I’ll be happy to help.
