Beginners Fitness for Over 40s -
Personal Trainer Basingstoke

If you've never really trained before, or you're coming back after years away, 40 is a good place to start taking it seriously. And no, you don't need to wait for anything or anyone to start. Your goals may be as straightforward as weight loss, increasing strength, getting fit for a little more adventure - or just why the hell not.

You don't need to wait until it creeps up on you, either. Your body starts changing quietly whether you train or not - and accelerated muscle loss typically begins in your 40s, long before you notice it.

The important part of my coaching is this: we start with the basics - learning to move well and how to exercise with confidence in the gym environment. It's this foundation we build on, targeting the milestones that get you to your long-term health and fitness goals.

While you'll obviously bring your own goals and needs to the table, I'll underpin all of it with the specific goal at this stage in your fitness journey - to get ahead of the muscle loss before it becomes a problem, not after. Strength you build now is strength you keep.

Getting Started

Every new 1-2-1 client starts with a first month of weekly sessions, minimum. We'll take a baseline weight range together (see the Quick Wins guide on this) and set you up with a food diary from day one.

You'll also get access to the Fit Coach app - track sessions, hit milestones, log your food, all in one place.

After the first month, you decide how often we train. The one rule: at least one session a month, so we can check you're still on track for your goals.

£240 a month for weekly sessions. After your first month, it's £60/session if you're training less often.
