Questions
& answers.
What services do you provide?
I provide one-to-one personal training, sports massage, corrective exercise, nutrition guidance and practical recovery support. I can also introduce independent doctors, physiotherapists, nutritionists and other specialists where appropriate.
Where do sessions take place?
Most sessions take place at the client's home. I can also work at a hotel, private gym or another suitable location where access has been arranged.
Do I need equipment?
No. I can work with the equipment you already have or bring portable equipment where needed.
How long are sessions?
Personal training sessions are normally 60 minutes. Sports massage appointments are available for 60 or 90 minutes.
Can I book sports massage without personal training?
Yes. Sports massage is available as a standalone service or as part of an ongoing training and recovery programme.
Can you help me return to training after an injury?
Yes, once any necessary medical or physiotherapy assessment has taken place. I can provide corrective exercise and progressive strength work, and I am happy to work alongside your physiotherapist or consultant.
Do you provide nutrition advice?
Yes. I provide practical nutrition guidance for body composition, energy, recovery and performance. Medical nutrition therapy is referred to an appropriately qualified professional.
Which areas do you cover?

What is the Black Book?
The Black Book is my trusted network of independent doctors, physiotherapists, nutritionists and other specialists. Where helpful, I can make a personal introduction.
Can you monitor my wearable data between sessions?
Yes. For clients on selected bespoke packages, data from compatible wearables such as Oura Ring and Apple Watch can form part of ongoing health and performance management. Sleep, HRV, resting heart rate, recovery and activity trends can be considered alongside your training and lifestyle, helping me make more informed decisions around training load and recovery.
