Well what about the gift of health and fitness with some Personal Training sessions?
Now, before you say it, it's not what you think. When you think of personal training are you picturing Hollywood stars shelling out thousands of pounds per session to a famous fitness expert who has half a dozen work-out DVD’s under their belt?
Well the Glasgow Club we believe personal training should be open to everyone, not just the rich and famous.
But what exactly are the benefits of personal training?
Well first and foremost it is great motivation. If will power has always been problem when it comes to exercise or training has become a bit stale then a personal training session is ideal.
It starts with an initial consultation to find out what the goals are. For example, loose weight, improve strength, get fitter, or maybe shave some time off your 10k personal best.
With their expertise, our personal trainers will be able to develop a programme specifically suited to your needs.
Just as importantly, this programme will be adapted as time goes on to ensure you are maximising your results. And you will know you are doing it safely!!
But don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what one happy customer, Ros Barclay said.
I started Personal Training in April for several reasons. I wanted to look good for my daughters wedding. I also wanted to do something different from my usual exercise of swimming and walking. I had never been in a gym before and didn’t know what to expect. But I was welcomed by Ross (my personal trainer) who explained everything to me.
At first I found it quite hard going but as the weeks have gone by I’m getting better and find it a lot easier. Ross does push me, with encouragement, to do all the exercises and praises me when I do well but sometime he does wind me up!
Personal training has boosted my self esteem which I needed after a stressful time in my life. I am now signing up for my 3rd block. It has been a challenge for me which has produced good results. I would recommend Personal Training to anyone who needs motivated to improve their shape.”
And another happy customer, Susan Gilchrist,
I started personal trainer with Maria after spending hours in the gym and not seeing any results. On my first session I could only run for 8 mins which for my age is quite poor. As the sessions went on I was increasing the running by a minute at a time but by session 12 I could run for 20 mins non-stop!
This is a fantastic achievement for me!!
I have seen major change in my cardiovascular fitness. I never believed I could complete the training sessions but Maria always encouraged me when I felt I was struggling. After 15 sessions I have lost a total of 6 inches and can start to see my body shape change.
I would highly recommend Maria to anyone looking to improve his or her fitness. I look forward to more sessions with her.
So are we said with Christmas fast approaching why not think about getting your loved one a Personal Training session. It could be the present that changes their life for the better!
