Fitness Consultation

Fitness consultations are designed to help you find ways of starting to add activity into your lifestyle along with modifying other lifestyle behaviours. They are one-to-one consultations with one of our Health & Fitness Coaches who will advise you on getting started on your fitness journey and may involve some activity so you should wear appropriate clothing and footwear.

These appointments are free to all members of Strathclyde Sport and non-member Staff and Students of the University and are web bookable up to 14 days in advance.

You will receive a starter exercise programme relating to your identified goals.

Should you wish a full Personalised Exercise Plan this service is available, at an extra charge. Please discuss with one of the Health & Fitness Coaches. Please note everyone should attend a Fitness Consultation prior to attending a PEP.

Personalised Exercise Plans (PEPs)

Please note that individuals should attend a Fitness Consultation prior to embarking on a PEP.

The PEP will include 3 individual sessions over a 6 week period with a highly qualified exercise professional who will tailor a bespoke programme suitable to achieve your identified goals.

The Health & Fitness Coach will ensure that you have the confidence to complete the workouts through education and technique instruction during a personal training taster session. They will review and refresh your workouts and provide advice, support and motivation throughout.

Our goals for you during your PEP is that you refocus your goals, maximise the effectiveness of your workout, become accountable to yourself and motivated enabling you to maintain your routine and make use of the expertise and knowledge of our highly qualified team.

PEPS are bookable through the Health & Fitness Coaches after you have completed a Fitness Consultation. Charges £25.00 per PEP.
