What to Expect at Your First Weight Loss Training Session

Initial Consultation

Your trainer will discuss your fitness goals, medical history, lifestyle, and any injuries or limitations. This helps them design a programme tailored specifically for you.

Fitness Assessment

Expect basic measurements — body composition, flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular fitness. This establishes your starting point and helps track progress.

Goal Setting

Together with your trainer, you'll set realistic short-term and long-term goals. Whether it's losing 10kg, running a 5K, or building muscle, your trainer will map out a clear path.

Introduction Workout

You'll do a light introductory workout so your trainer can assess your movement patterns, form, and current fitness level. Don't worry — it won't be too intense on day one.

Programme Overview

Your trainer will outline your training schedule, nutrition guidelines, and what to expect in the coming weeks. You'll leave with a clear plan and motivation to start.

Schedule & Commitment

Agree on training frequency (typically 2-3 sessions per week), preferred times, and payment structure. Most trainers offer flexible scheduling to fit your lifestyle.
