Whether you’re aiming to win a triathlon, exceed your expectations in a powerlifting competition, or exercise around a pre-existing health condition, there will be a professional trained and certified in your specialism. All of them determined for you to succeed.

Variety is the spice of life

No matter what your goals, there are a huge range of options available for you to hit them. So why stick to the same routine that doesn’t give you what you want? Fitness trainers can give that much need professional advice and create realistic, attainable goals for individuals. They can also include different types of exercise such as spinning, free weights, or high-intensity interval training (HIIT), helping you to unlock your potential.

There are several key reasons to include a personal trainer in your workouts, the top contenders being: speed of results, quality of results, and safety.

What do you love most about your job?

There’s far too many things to pick from! If I’ve got to narrow it down to just one, it’s very rewarding helping someone on a potentially life-changing journey. I get to see real change in my clients, whether that be in their overall health, weight, or attitude.

How did you get into personal training?

I was always athletic at school. I was a part of as many sports clubs as possible and I would never seem to slow down – being active is simply who I am. When I first joined a gym I quickly learnt that I could set new milestones and beat them again and again. Being able to see progression was fascinating and pushing myself to new limits was great. I became friends with the personal trainers at my gym and the job they were describing was simply perfect for me. I then booked onto my first training course and the rest was history!

What qualifications have you achieved?

I have a Master Personal Trainer Diploma, certifications in sports massage, and even ante and postnatal instructing. I’m certified to instruct cycling, weight lifting, and circuit training.

What variety of training options do you provide for clients?

I can work with clients from home, at a local gym, in public areas/parks, from my private workout studio, or even at their office. Modern life is busy and can be difficult to balance, so we can discuss the most suitable options for your routine and budget.

The best decision I ever made was to join Victory Fitness. I started training online with Ronan over 2 years ago. His attentiveness and compassion for his clients is amazing. He is so determined to help you reach your goals and his wisdom & knowledge of the fitness world is incredible. He takes pride in his clients and pushes you to the limit so you become aware of just how amazing you truly are. I can safely say that I wouldn't be the person I am today without him, both physically and mentally. He changed my whole perception of myself, the fitness world and the purpose exercise has on your life. One of the most important things he taught me was "Our biggest enemy is between our two ears. Conquer it and your invincible." With his help I've conquered that fear and I am now someone who sees the gym as my sacred place where I can 'kick ass'. Training is not just something I do, it's now a part of who I am. I will be forever grateful to Ronan for changing my life and helping me become the person I am today. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Ronan. You're the best! ❤

It depends on your end goal. If you’re training for a marathon, you might work out nearly every day of the week. If you’re a low-level beginner, a minimum of three times a week is enough to make a noticeable impact. No matter what you’re working out for, everyone needs rest and recovery days. Without them, your muscles won’t be able to recuperate and grow strong, so remember to factor in some down-time, too!

Pretty much anywhere! The great thing about personal training is that it’s flexible - as long as you have the necessary equipment, you and your instructor can decide to have your sessions from the gym, your home, the park, or even your office if you want to!

Yes! First of all, they will chat with you about your goals, and discuss the best way to achieve them. They should also ask you to fill in a consent form to check that you don’t have any pre-existing health conditions that could impact your exercise. They’ll also carry out a health assessment to get a better idea of your current fitness level, tailoring your workout plan around that.

It's tricky to say, as personal training sessions vary significantly depending on what you want to achieve and the type of workout. Generally, one personal training session tends to last forty-five minutes to one hour. It will start with a gentle warm-up, followed by the nitty-gritty of the actual workout, with stretches to end the session. Remember, warming up and stretching is essential for injury prevention - it’s just as important as the main part of the workout!

A personal trainer needs to be clued up on all aspects of fitness, from the most effective exercise techniques to nutrition and human anatomy- that’s a lot of responsibility! You need to make sure your professional is suitably qualified for the job. After all, you shouldn’t cut corners when it comes to investing in your health. Make sure your trainer has the minimum qualifications required to practice. In the UK, this is the Level 3 Personal Trainer qualification.

Absolutely! Online personal training has become increasingly popular as more people are looking to maintain their fitness during lockdowns and gyms closing. As long as you and your personal trainer have a strong internet connection and a device to stream on like a laptop, tablet or smartphone, there's no reason why your session can't be delivered remotely.
