GP/Exercise Referral An exercise referral is a specific and formalised programme whereby a medical professional refers a patient to a fitness programme. It is not the same as a 'recommendation' to exercise. Typically these ensure a 12 week supervised programme of physical activity tailored to suit the needs of the referrer and the referred client, with a view to improving their state of health. The qualification and competencies have been developed to ensure the safe and effective programming for clients with a range of medical conditions.

Circuit Training
Circuit training: Circuit training is frequently associated with large group exercise activity. But it does not have to be. While the group element is certainly social and fun, this training format can be equally demanding, and more focused, for one, or pairs or small groups. Why not create your own exclusive circuit group? You bring your friend(s) and social circle, I bring the programme, expertise and motivation. One-to-one and pairs circuit training are at the standard rates for these services. Contact me to discuss bespoke options for small group sessions.

Kettlebells and Kettlercise® Kettlebells originated in Russia as a form of strength training but have since become a standard, yet technical and demanding, piece of gym equipment. As a dynamic training modality, kettlebells are especially beneficial for developing core function, active flexibility and motor skills such as co-ordination and balance. Proper form and technique is crucial to achieving the full benefits from this equipment and avoiding injury.

TRX/Suspended Movement
Suspended movement training, using ropes or straps, has become increasingly popular over recent years and with good reason. While using only one's bodyweight for resistance training may appear unchallenging, the instability of being suspended from a rope or strap magnifies the effects of overcoming gravity, exploits principles of leverage and mechanical advantage, and significantly challenges the entire musculature of the body.

Aqua Fitness Aqua fitness is hard work! Don't be fooled by slow speeds or the apparent calm on the surface. The resistance of movement performed at an average speed in water is estimated to be about 12-15 times that of air. Generally, larger, slower movements are recommended to take advantage of action/reaction and inertia. It may be more difficult, or less common, to get the heart rate elevated, but rest assured, you will be working hard.
