Personal Fitness Programmes £10: 

This session will last 1.5 hours. Initially we will have a consultation with you to find out about your specific goals, and also enquire about your other commitments to help ensure we maximise the sucess of the programme. We will then take your physically through every component of your exercise plan ensuring you can achieve the level of intensity that is intended. The exercise component will always include a detailed flexibility programme at the end of the sesion to help ensure you feel fantastic when you leave the facility. These programmes will always be carried out by a REPS level 2 or 3 qualified instructors, so your goals can be general or sports / health specific.
