This will depend on where you've agreed your sessions will be. Generally, our private sessions are done at our full-time gym at “Richmond Olympus” but trainers may also come to your home or office or you may use the local park. We also do regular online personal training sessions that have proven to be a huge success with amazing results for our students.

Q: Can I set the time I work out?

You're the client, so should be able to train when you want. However, please remember that trainers will have existing clients, and your first choice may not be available; it's best to be flexible. If you're changing your training time, always give at least twenty-four hours’ notice - otherwise you'll be charged full price.

Q: Will my trainer put me on a diet, make me stop smoking, or give up drinking?

Most personal trainers are fully aware that in order to change unhealthy lifestyles you have to work within them. You'll 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'll treat your body (as a natural consequence).

Q: 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, motivation or the energy to train effectively on their own, a Personal Trainer can be the answer. The support, advice and encouragement come with safe exercises to help you avoid injuries.

Q: I’m a woman and want to learn karate & self-defence. Is this for me?

EMAR Dojo is a great place for women to learn self-defence. We have roughly equal numbers of male and female students, so you won’t feel out of place. On top of that, you may find that you’ve become fitter and more toned after a few weeks training, as karate involves cardio workouts, strength training, and stretching. Karate has all the benefits of working out at the gym, with the added advantage of practical learning. Our women love our Karate classes, and all feel empowered after learning real combat skills.
