What to Expect at Your First Muscle Building Training Session

1

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.

2

Fitness Assessment

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

3

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.

4

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.

5

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.
