Exercise can be a great way to shed a few pounds, and some fitness trainers may combine physical coaching with nutrition advice to help you achieve sustainable results. When filling in your requirements, be sure to tick that you’re looking to hire a trainer for weight loss or someone who combines personal training and nutrition.

Safely bridge the gap from physical therapy to full activity. Our post-rehabilitation specialists help you rebuild strength and restore mobility, following your physiotherapist's guidance.

A realistic guide to how long it takes to see workout results, including timelines by goal and tips to accelerate progress with or without a personal trainer.
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.
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!
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.
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.

As someone who has been working with Nolan for over six months, he has not only helped me physically but mentally. I told him when I first started, I wanted a coach who can help me physically but also help me grow in my fitness journey. I know you hear “fitness journey” and say here we go but, Nolan has worked with me through my physical injuries and allowed grace with nutrition. Coming from a very strict program I learned how much food was controlling me and that I needed a step back to look at things differently. I started the first month keeping the same strict plan, not a gram or piece of food of the meal plan out of place and of course saw the scale and body comp move in the right direction. But then life comes into play, friends want to grab lunch, family dinner is different than your meal plan, a craving you’ve denied yourself for months never answered, and then the cheat meal that you allow yourself takes over. Nolan allowed the grace and understanding that you don’t have to be 1000% strict 200% of the time and while it took me some weight gain and learning grace it allowed my body to get out of the mode it was in for years. My coach wasn’t angry or upset, he wanted me to learn. He wanted me to understand food doesn’t need to hold me back from dinner with friends/family, that I don’t have to bring my own meal prep everywhere I go, and it’s ok to be 95% good most of the time and have a little of what I crave if I choose to. Now after working on losing the weight and gaining a new outlook on fueling my body I’m on track to see what amazing things we can accomplish this year. I hope to have a new review by the end of the year to talk about the healing process of my injury and the strength I’ve gained if not back to where I was preinjury. I can confidently say if you want a coach that not only supports you in what you’re looking for gym wise but, a coach with the ability to show grace Nolan is your guy. Thanks, coach!

As a resident, having a personal trainer from Wellness Resources Group come directly to my building has been a game changer for my fitness and overall well-being. Before starting residential training, I had never trained consistently. Having a dedicated, professional trainer onsite removed every barrier - no commuting, no scheduling friction, just a seamless and convenient experience that made it easy to stay committed. Over the past 14 months, I’ve built a consistent fitness routine, become stronger, more energized, and noticeably more active in my day-to-day life. Each session is thoughtfully designed to be both challenging and engaging, keeping workouts effective while still enjoyable. Beyond the workouts themselves, the accountability, motivation, and guidance around healthier lifestyle and nutrition choices have been invaluable in helping me stay on track. The biggest benefit of Wellness Resources Group’s residential training is the personalized, results-driven approach delivered right where you live. It creates consistency, removes excuses, and makes prioritizing your health feel achievable and sustainable. I would highly recommend this program to any resident looking to make lasting, positive changes to their health and fitness without the hassle of traditional gyms.

Lynn Gil Working as a hospital administrator meant my schedule changed constantly. Long days, high stress, and inconsistent hours made sticking to a traditional fitness routine almost impossible. I had tried several gyms and different workout programs over the years, but none of them fit my lifestyle. They expected me to build my schedule around fitness instead of building fitness around my schedule. Coach Curtis’s approach was exactly what I needed. The 30-minute sessions fit perfectly into my week, and because every workout was structured with intention, I never felt like I was sacrificing results because the sessions were shorter. Even within my first four weeks, I noticed significant changes. My posture improved, everyday aches became less noticeable, and I felt stronger performing routine daily activities. My clothes fit differently, I had more muscle definition, and I found myself standing taller and moving with greater confidence. What impressed me most was that recovery was treated as part of the program rather than something separate from it. Coach Curtis explained how training, nutrition, and recovery all worked together, and for the first time I understood why previous programs had left me exhausted instead of progressing. This wasn’t just another personal training program. It was a complete system that respected my career, my time, and my long-term health. I genuinely feel stronger, healthier, and more capable than I have in years, and I’m excited to continue through the remainder of my 12-week transformation.

Should I work out every day of the week?
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!
Where can I have my personal training sessions?
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!
Does my fitness instructor need to know anything about me?
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.
What does a standard personal training session involve?
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!
What qualifications should a personal trainer have?
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.
Can I get a Personal Trainer online?
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.
