Now is the time when many of you, with the greatest of intentions, start thinking about that new exercise regimen and / or starting THAT DIET!

But for the thousands of you planning to kick-off with a bang in January, does not always mean that you will achieve your goals.

Unfortunately studies show that 55% of traditional gym goers do not know what they are doing with many just copying other people

Equally, 80% of people who join a traditional gym in January will leave within 5 months, and interestingly 50% of the members who give up a gym membership in the 1st year, will do so in the first 3 months – why?; because their exercise programme was too hard and was not matched to their ability or goals. The temptation as soon as we put our foot through the door is too often to over-do it in the first few sessions!

Also, one of the main reasons people do not achieve their goals is because they are stuck in a rut doing the same thing. Going to the same class, training at the same level or performing the same exercise at the same weight for long periods of time (e.g. several months) can result in a person’s health or fitness gains starting to plateau and even diminish

This is precisely why onePT support and guide each member through each step of our very comprehensive member journey; starting with the initial Health & Movement Assessment to the monthly inclusive Personal Training sessions with many members taking up additional PT packages, to then staying connected with their PT even when the member is away from the gym through our Apps and technology.

Perhaps most importantly, our members are assigned to the Personal Trainer who is best matched to the person's training experience, goals and critically – personality; the coach they are most likely to engage with the most!

But isn’t having a Personal Trainer seen as a bit of a luxury?

“Not anymore,” comments Dr Neil Fell, Co-Founder onePT, “I think in the past, people have often perceived that Personal Trainers / Coaches were only reserved for the likes of Sports People and the Rich & Famous / Celebrities, but in the last few years people have really started to value their health and wellbeing a lot more. Having a Personal Trainer can be seen as an investment in your future-self.  I have always been a great believer that prevention is better than cure and through exercise and leading a healthy lifestyle can help you manage not only your physical health but also your mental health. This has been so important over the last 2 years though this pandemic.”

And Neil adds that by having a Personal Trainer does provide you with some amazing benefits ..

 

“Coaching - having someone on hand to ensure you perform each exercise with the correct form; ensure you finish that last rep or finish the last few seconds and not give up too easily, or to review how you are feeling and on certain days realise that you may need to take your foot off the gas!

Extra motivation - here at onePT you have unlimited gym access - but having regular sessions with your PT can enhance your motivation to carry on with your workout regimen. During the PT sessions you will also get chance to discuss other aspects relating to your health & fitness goals - such as some of the nutritional and lifestyle changes you are trying to make

Accountability - when you exercise on your own, it is easy to skip sessions or fall off the wagon completely. By working with a Personal Trainer will help keep you accountable, making it more likely that you will stick with your training programme

Variety - our PTs will teach you a variety of exercise methods which can keep you from getting bored and this will also mean your fitness levels will continue to progress

Efficiency - your Personal Trainer, especially in the environment provided at onePT, will be able to make the most out of your workout time, which increases the efficiency of your workout. This is especially beneficial when you have a limited time to exercise”

We know that many of you will have a fitness goal for 2022, but it is often said that a goal without a plan is just a dream.

At onePT we believe Fitness is a journey and not a destination, it doesn’t have to have an end. Results achieved are more likely to be sustainable if you make lifestyle & behavioural changes - one or two at time, which then become part of your everyday life. However we know that for some of you, you may need that finite time period to get yourself started – a realistic timescale that you can commit to and focus on, but at the end see some real positive results and at the same time establish positive habits that can be easily maintained.

And that is why we have created the onePT 12 Week Transformation Programme - 12 weeks of training and nutrition to give you the best and most sustainable transformation of your life.

“I think what has been fantastic about the two Transformation Programmes we have run in 2021 is that 100% of the people who took part have carried on as members with onePT, with a good number taking up either individual or small group PT packages and some even signing up for the next 12 week programme!” adds, John Carroll, Co-owner.
