Q: If I trained once a week with a personal trainer would that session be enough or would I need to do more exercise outside seeing the trainer?

Yes, you would need to do more exercise in addition to seeing your personal trainer. One session a week without doing any extra work yourself will get minimal results. If you want big results then you have to put in the work yourself, however we are on hand to give advice for the best way to achieve the results.

Yes. No matter what your sex, age or fitness level, everyone can benefit from a personal trainer, from a complete beginner needing advice on proper exercises or help with nutrition, to a regular exerciser needing professional knowledge on improving the efficacy of their training, to athletes wanting to fine-tune their movements, or improve strength and conditioning for an improved lifestyle.
