FAQs

Q: I have heard that some personal trainers are not very experienced or qualified. How do I know that your trainers are?

We pride ourselves in being amongst the highest qualified trainers in the business. Not only do all our trainers have a related degree, but are also professionally qualified. We strive to keep at the cutting edge of fitness research with continuous practical and theoretical education. All benefit personal trainers are registered with the National Register of Personal Trainers, are fully insured and qualified in first aid.

Q: I only have a small flat, how much room do I need to be able to have a really good training session?

As long as you have enough room to be able to lie down on the floor with your arms out wide, you will be able to have a good training session.

Q: I am a regular exerciser and am motivated enough to train on my own. However I don’t seem to be benefiting from my current workout. Is there anything you can do to get me to start improving again without me having to have sessions every week?

As well as offering regular personal training sessions Benefit Personal Training also offers a set programme package. This includes the free consultation, the comprehensive Body Analysis, programme design and two sessions to teach you your new programme. With this package you are not left completely on your own as your trainer is available to by phone to answer any questions that may arise as you train. We recommend that you have a programme review every 6-8 weeks and a repeat Body Analysis every 2-3 months. This is to help keep you motivated and ensure you continually improve your fitness level.

Q: How many times a week do I need to train?

There is no set answer to this question. Everyone has different needs and aims and as such will need differing number of sessions. The trainer and client will work together to decide the number of sessions during the FREE consultation.

Q: I know that exercise is good for me, but I do not enjoy it and I find it difficult to keep myself motivated. What can you do to keep me on the straight and narrow?

At Benefit Personal Training we try to make every session as fun and enjoyable as possible, but we do understand that for some exercise is a chore rather than a pleasure. Therefore, we offer phone counselling service. Your personal trainer will call you up during the week to see how you are getting on with your home programme, and if you have any difficulties they will try and work through them with you. This service also work the other way round, so if you are having a hard time motivating yourself you can just call up your personal trainer for help.
