Our personal trainers have a huge background of training methods, unconventional exercises and routines to help build a better you!
Crossfit
Crossfit involves constant functional exercises, at a high intensity. This is great for your body as it keeps your heartrate high, and helps build stamina in your muscles.
Stretching
Stretching is vital when it comes to training. This warms up the body and gets blood pumping in your muscles before your workouts. This will help you avoid injuries and stop you from being in and out of training.
HIIT Training
High Intensity Interval Training is a great way of burning calories, building muscle and toning up! The aim is to constantly repeat the exercise until you hear the buzzer and then move onto the next exercise
Pilates
A mind-body exercise which helps develop core stability, strength, and flexibility. Throughout your sessions, you will learn how to control you muscles, posture and breathing.
Mobility
Our aim is to increase your mobility which will help your body avoid injuries. This is key when it comes to starting a weekly varied workout routine.
Powerlifting
Powerlifting is something we have extensive experience in. Our personal trainers will teach you Olympic lifting movements which will help build up strength and help you reach your target!
Strength and Conditioning
With out large inventory of freeweight equipment, we can help build strength, and can help your body get conditioned for those tough workouts.
Meditation and Yoga
Meditation is a great stress reliever, which is vital in this current time. Meditation and Yoga will help calm you down, keep your body flexible, and help you create a better state of mind.
Whether you are just starting your fitness journey, need extra help hitting your personal fitness goals, or just need motivation and support, we are here to help.
Upon arrival you will need to complete a client registration form, so it’s a good idea to arrive a little bit early for your first appointment. We will take your details, medical history (if applicable), fitness goals and targets. We will also ask for your consent for us to train you at Athletic Potential.
During your first appointment your personal trainer will talk to you about a rough plan on how to achieve your target. They will do an initial fitness test to gauge strength, mobility, agility and form. Your personal trainer will then have planned workouts prepared for your future sessions, to help target weaknesses and help you achieve your target in the most effective way.
Our personal training sessions are different! We don’t just keep you motivated, but our aim is to see you make progress. We love seeing results just as much as you! We will build you up in a maintainable way, with targeted exercises and workouts, along with workouts to do outside of your personal training sessions.
We will share our profile with you, so that you can fill in key information like external workouts, food and calorie intake (if you choose to record this data - highly recommended!). You will also be able to view previous workouts and any physiotherapy notes.
There are multiple benefits to having an experienced, professional personal trainer to help you in your fitness journey. Take a look below to see just a few benefits!
Learning the correct form
A Personal Trainer will guide you on how to perform exercises correctly and safely, making sure you target the right muscles while preventing injuries. Even the most experienced gym goers can struggle with form!
Knowledge and experience
Personal Trainers have a huge wealth of knowledge on everything from the human anatomy to the best training methods. Working with a PT means you benefit from this information without needing to do the research yourself, or having to trial methods which are not effective.
Pushing your limits
Personal Trainers are passionate and supportive, but they'll also challenge and motivate you to push yourself further. It is much easier to break through a plateau or smash personal bests when working with a PT!
Being held accountable
Sometimes, the toughest battle is getting to the gym. Having a Personal Trainer keeps you accountable on your health and fitness journey, so you can reach your goals quicker.
Getting a bespoke training programme
There is no one size fits all when it comes to fitness. Personal Trainers will create a tailored training programme to suit your needs, abilities and goals, making sure it is challenging but achievable.
Trying out different exercises and routines
You might be a creature of habit when it comes to exercise, always gravitating to the same machinery and equipment or doing the same workouts. A PT can introduce you to exercises and routines which you may have never done or would never attempt on your own. This can often help with keeping workouts interesting and will help you challenge your body in different ways.
Improve in areas you struggle with
Your PT can help target weak area's and help you develop strength, mobility and conditioning, whether its cardio, weightlifting or specific movements within a martial art. We are able to develop specialised routines to help you improve your weak points.
Making excellent use of data
During PT sessions, your entire workout will be logged so that it can be analysed so that we can develop a new routine for you which will help you improve and hit your personal targets. We also run fitness tests which will help tell us what your strengths and weaknesses are, so that we can build you up to be the best you can possibly be!
Whether you participate in a martial art or a non-contact sport, we are here to help. Just inform your experienced personal trainer about the sport and what aspects you'd like to improve on, and well base your workout around this to help you become stronger, faster and better at your discipline.
Flexibility
When it comes to training, its important to keep consistent, but also just as important to be flexible with training times. Our PTs are here when its best for you. Just let your PT when you would like to get booked in, and well do our best to fit you in to your timescale.
Group activities are always a great way of keeping fit, making new friends and having fun! Thats why at Athletic Potential, we offer group classes!

Personal Training FAQs
Why should I use a Personal Trainer?
Some people are happy to follow their own programme in their own time and place; for those who lack the time, or the motivation, or the energy to train effectively on their own, a Personal Trainer can be the answer. The support, advice and encouragement comes with safe exercise technique to help you avoid injuries.
When do I need a Personal Trainer?
Here are some examples: When you are overweight, when you are underweight, when you are unfit, when you want to get fitter, when you have just had a baby, when you are in training, when you are bored with training, when the kids have left home, when the jeans don't fit, when you are too busy to keep fit, when you are going skiing, when Christmas has happened, when summer is about to happen, when aerobics has got boring, when you can't avoid the mirror, when you always avoid the scales, when you want to!
How often should I train?
Three times each week should be sufficient for you to start feeling and seeing results. Although, like anything, you will get more out of it if you put more in. Whether you work out with your Trainer every time is up to you, and how motivated you are, how often you can afford to train, what you schedule is like every week.
Where should I train?
There is no 'should' - you can achieve results working out in a gym, in the park, or at home. It is more a matter of availability and of convenience for you, particularly if you have special rehabilitative needs, which may require special equipment.
Will my Trainer put me on a diet? Stop me smoking/make me stop drinking?
Most Personal Trainers are fully aware that in order to change an unhealthy lifestyle you have to work within it. You will find that many Personal Trainers can give you nutritional and lifestyle advice - whether you take it is up to you. We are only with you a few hours a week, but the fitter you become, the better you will treat your body as a natural consequence.
What's the typical cost of a personal trainer?
Although prices range across the country, and will be influenced by the length of each session, skills required, gym fees which may be payable, travel costs and any other number of contributing factors, most Personal Trainers will set a rate which is affordable and effective according to the situation each client is in. And you will be guaranteed results, progress and development. Please see the "Pricing" tab above to see our pricelist.
What sort of people have a Personal Trainer?
Housewives, stockbrokers, rock stars, company directors, nannies, coffee-shop managers, bankers, doctors, dressmakers, accountants, firemen, receptionists, PR executives, hoteliers, waiters, newsagents, DJs, journalists, producers, secretaries, actors, sportsmen and women, electricians, anyone who wants one!
What sort of people are Personal Trainers?
Energetic, committed, motivating, enthusiastic, bright, sympathetic, dedicated, understanding, busy, interested, professional, healthy, intelligent, flexible, knowledgeable, approachable, confidential, trustworthy, friendly, ordinary people....
Can I set the time I work out?
You are the client and so should be able to train when you want. However, do remember that trainers will have existing clients and so your first choice may not be available so it's best to be flexible. If you're changing your training time, always give at least 24 hours notice - otherwise you'll be charged.
Where does a Personal Trainer train clients?
This will depend on where you've agreed your sessions will be. Trainers may come to your home or you may use the local park, or be out on a bike. There will normally be problems with taking your trainer to your own fitness centre as they will have their own trainers. Majority of our sessions will take place at Athletic HQ.
What happens during a Personal Training session?
A personal training session will normally last for one hour. This will follow along the lines of a brief warm-up followed by your main training programme where you will focus on your goals using cardiovascular, strength or flexibility exercises. Finally there will be a cool down or relaxation period. Any programme may vary from one session to the next according to the clients' needs and progress.
Does a Personal Trainer ask questions about your lifestyle?
The nature of personal training is such that it incorporates your needs, goals and preferences. The trainer will need to ask some initial questions during the consultation, which probe the demands that are placed on you from your job or lifestyle. Typically the first session will include questions about :
So as you can see a trainer looks at more than just the fitness or exercise component of your life. Any professional trainer should be able to provide information and advice about nutrition, stress management, motivational techniques and then be able to refer you on to others where the need may arise (for example, Chiropractors). We will take the following information during your Initial Assessment:
-
Basic personal details
-
Medical background
-
Fitness background
-
Lifestyle factors (e.g. smoking or drinking)
-
Nutritional habits (you may be asked to keep a diary)
-
Personal goals and objectives in relation to fitness
Does a Personal Trainer require a doctor's certificate?
Depending on your recent fitness and exercise programmes (or lack of) they may ask you for a certificate if they believe that medical conditions and/or past injuries will affect your participation in a training session. If you are under the care of a doctor for any reason or if you are over 40, and starting exercise for the first time, you will be asked to see your doctor to obtain their clearance first.

Virtual personal fitness training has rapidly become a popular and effective way to achieve fitness goals from the comfort of home. Unlike traditional in-person sessions, virtual training allows clients to connect with certified trainers through video calls, making it easy to fit workouts into even the busiest of schedules. With just a smartphone or laptop, clients can enjoy guided workouts, receive expert feedback, and benefit from personalised plans without the hassle of commuting to a gym. This flexibility makes it an ideal choice for people with tight schedules, limited access to fitness facilities, or those who prefer exercising in a comfortable, private environment.
One of the standout benefits of virtual fitness training is that it still provides the tailored guidance and accountability that make personal training so effective. Trainers can design workout routines based on each client’s specific goals, fitness levels, and available equipment, adjusting the programme as progress is made. During live sessions, trainers monitor form, provide corrections, and offer motivation in real-time, ensuring safe and effective workouts. Additionally, many virtual trainers offer resources such as meal plans, video tutorials, and progress-tracking tools that clients can access anytime, supporting a comprehensive approach to health and fitness beyond the workout session.
The convenience of virtual fitness training also helps foster consistency and long-term commitment, which are essential for achieving and maintaining results. By eliminating barriers such as travel time and limited availability, virtual training makes it easier for clients to stick to their fitness routines, even during busy periods or while travelling. Many virtual training programmes also provide a supportive community or allow client-trainer communication between sessions, enabling clients to ask questions, share updates, and stay motivated. This combination of personalised support, convenience, and community makes virtual personal fitness training an accessible and effective way to reach fitness goals and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Home visit personal training provides a unique, convenient way for clients to receive expert fitness guidance in the comfort of their own home. By eliminating the need to travel to a gym or fitness studio, home visits save time and offer a more personalised training experience tailored to the client’s space, equipment, and lifestyle. With this approach, personal trainers bring everything needed directly to the client, including equipment, exercises customised to available space, and even specialised routines that fit seamlessly into the home environment. This setup is particularly appealing for clients with busy schedules, limited mobility, or a preference for privacy, as it makes fitness both accessible and adaptable to individual needs.
One of the main advantages of home visit personal training is the level of individualised attention and motivation it offers. Working one-on-one in a familiar setting allows trainers to focus entirely on the client’s form, technique, and progress, ensuring a safe and effective workout. Home visits also create a comfortable environment for clients, which can encourage them to push themselves further while staying relaxed. Furthermore, trainers can design routines that incorporate everyday items found at home, which helps reinforce healthy habits and builds confidence to exercise independently. This combination of convenience, support, and tailored routines makes home visit personal training an ideal option for achieving long-term fitness goals right at home.
