What does a typical personal training session involve?
This varies according to individual goals, but a typical 60 minute session will start with a 5-10 minute warm up either on the treadmill, exercise bike or functional training. The aim is to gradually warm up the muscles to be used, raise the heart rate and lubricate the joints in preparation for the main activity, thus preventing injury. Feel free to come in a little earlier to warm up.
The main section may include:
Functional strength exercises working all muscle groups: shoulders, back, chest, legs, core and arms. Incorporating a variety of equipment and body weight exercises. To boost metabolism and increase weight loss a mixture of interval training will be used. Including: HIIT, Tabata and circuits.
Weight training will be added to every programme. Don’t be put off - women will not gain muscles like Arnold Schwarzenegger ie. as we don’t produce enough testosterone, but the benefits of using weights is well researched and documented. Instead you will tone up, drop body fat and become leaner.
Postural awareness and corrective exercises aimed at improving core strength will slowly bring down the heart rate and help your body cool down.
Stretching to finish the session will help in preventing muscle soreness and will highlight areas that need extra work. Using a variety of methods from foam rolling to bands to body weight stretches.
Nutritional guidance and support given: extra nutritional packs are available to download - easy to cook no fuss calorie counted and Macro counted.
Each programme is tailored to the individual - plans will be developed for your personal needs.
I am recovering from an illness / injury or have an ongoing medical condition. Can I still attend for Personal training and group training sessions?
A full health screen is required from everyone who wishes to train with Kate and her team.
You may wish to discuss with your care provider: GP, consultant, nurse, physiotherapist, osteopath etc. before booking if you have any ongoing medical issues prior to commencing.
We have excellent rehabilitation support and tailored programmes and sports therapy available :
Carla is our GP referral personal trainer and older adults circuits coach
Shannon is our older adult programme designer, sports therapist and rehab coach
Please do contact us to discuss further if you have any health concerns as training has many positive benefits, which can enhance recovery. A carefully designed plan can be provided adapting and offering alternative exercises where necessary. We will with consent often work with your care provider i.e GP physio chiropractor or osteopath to ensure you receive a bespoke programme to promote recovery movement and fitness.
We welcome Professional referrals from GP’s Physios osteopaths and chiropractors - working together we highlight areas that we as personal trainers need to concentrate on following on from expert advice - from shoulder, back, neck and pelvic floor dysfunction we support progressive exercise to get you back to full fitness and strength.
I have visions of Personal Trainers shouting and pushing me to do more press- ups. Is this true?
I can’t speak for other Gyms or PT’s, but here at Kate Campbell Fitness we have a philosophy of ensuring a holistic approach is taken to training clients. Goals are set, lifestyle reviewed, recommendations and suggestions made, motivation and encouragement provided without fail.
Shouting is not needed or appreciated!
Your commitment to give 100% means you will achieve your goals with hard work, consistency and a desire from within.
I really want to Kickstart my weight loss and fitness which programme is best ?
Focus and shred is Ideal if you really want to accelerate your weight loss journey, have a planned event or holiday coming up and what fast results in a 6 week short period of time.
This programme is not for everyone commitment dedication and nutritional changes will need to be made.
So if you are you’re new to personal training a slower steadier less strict approach may be better.
All programmes will support your nutrition fitness and wellbeing with extra guidelines given and email support.
You can attend the gym FREE throughout your programme
Please note programmes must be completed within the agreed time frame.
One off payment no refunds
What Nutritional support is included?
At the very beginning of your programme whether its for weight loss, more energy, strength and or muscle gains we recommend you complete a food diary we use My Fitness Pal where everything you eat and drink is recorded. After you have completed 1-3 weeks we review it together and recommendations are given to which strategy will be the best for you to start with.
Nutrition is individual so the best strategy is the one that works for you as an individual long term.
Food plans are not given out routinely because they don't work in the long term. Instead you can buy online our recommended nutrition recipes to kick start your healthy eating - quick and easy to do they come with a meal guide and some with a shopping list.
It’s unrealistic for trainers to tell you what to eat for each meal, day in and day out. If you followed a food plan you would end up eating foods you didn’t enjoy. Instead we focus on keeping it real - you have to learn and decide yourself if the food you eat is supporting your weight loss or health journey and if it’s getting you closer to your goals.
Becoming educated experimenting and learning how the food we eat affects mood, sleep and digestion will allow you to make better choices when faced with cravings, party foods, or going out to dinner. Your goals will be reached through your own understanding knowledge and consistent effort.
To succeed in the long term, knowledge and education is the key, swapping foods, changing habits and developing an interest in healthier food will work better than any ‘diet plan we give you.
With all our PT programmes nutrition is the foundation to success - learn to nourish your body with healthier choices to support your training and learn to understand the direct effects food has on wellbeing.
You are in control of what you eat - no daft elimination diets, juicing, pills or shots just a healthy attitude to food and strategies which will work for you.
To support your nutrition - recipe packs can be bought from the store. Theses are calorie counted, Marco counted and come with a shopping list.
We are not dietitians we can only guide so if you want detailed done for you meal plans than contact your GP for their recommendations.

What do I wear and bring to sessions and classes?
Depending on whether training takes place indoors or outside, dressing comfortably is a priority. Do not wear restrictive clothing; tracksuit bottoms, leggings and a t-shirt or specific sportswear will be fine.
Ladies a supportive bra is essential I recommend Shock absorber or Freya active sports bra.
Trainers are incredibly important, ensure they have good cushioning and support – you don’t need to buy new, but correct fitting prevents injury. Specially designed innersoles moulded to your feet can be purchased to fit into your current trainers.
Always bring Water or diluted juice to every session although drinks will be available.
Please do not wear Dirty trainers in the studio or gym area - for pilates yoga and pure stretch non slip socks are ideal.
Outside training - what shall I wear and bring?
Dress for the weather. As above but several layers are better than one thick one. Breathable lightweight jackets, rain or shower proof and gloves.
If training takes place in the winter a small head torch is recommended. A flashing armband is optional but they do look cool! You may also wish to bring a small old hand towel.
