Personal Fitness

Flames Fitness is the only facility of its kind. We offer you all the benefits of having your own personal trainer for a fraction of the cost.

We provide one trainer for every five members in the gym, but your workout session is not with a group. Instead the trainer works with you according to your personal program while supervising your technique and monitoring your progress. While you are resting between stations and/or sets, the trainer can work with others.

Our trainers are all experienced and qualified to help you achieve your goals.

We cater for a variety of needs including injury rehabilitation, strength training, fat loss, flexibility and much more.

Tailored programs                                         

Tailored programs are developed for you based on your needs and goals.

We begin with a fitness assessment, which is designed to establish your goals and how they can best be achieved. We discuss diet if required and also your habits outside of the gym. We will then test some elements of your fitness which may include flexibility and range of movement tests, strength tests, and body fat testing.

The assessment takes approximately 1 hour.

A program is then developed that targets your specific needs. Your program stays on file at Flames.

Depending on your needs, a personal program could be developed that may comprise a mix of cardiovascular and resistance training. Your program will also increase your flexibility. Your nutritional requirements will be discussed and taken into account.

Depending on your goals, boxing circuits may also be included in your program.

Sample program

Everybody and every body is different and the simple fact is that there is no one program that is perfect for everyone. Also, any program you start should be modified at least every 10 weeks to encourage continued adaptation and prevent plateaus.

The following illustrates a possible basic fat loss program. This should be regarded as a sample only,as any program designed at Flames fitness is designed for each member separately.

Workout sessions

Workout sessions are organised on a booking basis. You come to the gym at times that are convenient to you.

This serves two purposes. The first is to ensure there is enough room in the gym for everyone who is training. The second is to get you to commit to training regularly. If you do not show up then expect a phone call. We want you to achieve what you set out to, and we don't mind if this means that we have to be on your case!!

There is no limit to how many times you can come to the gym each week, but please discuss the optimum number for your program with one of our trainers. From here on all you have to do is show up. We will instruct you 100% of the way. At Flames you are not left to your own devices, that way we can ensure you are doing the right things, progressing at an appropriate rate, working hard enough and not injuring yourself.

We keep you motivated

You've paid for a better service and you'll get it! Here's how we keep you motiviated:

• Your trainer will work with you during your session, providing encouragement and challenges from time to time.
• We will adjust your weights and/or increase the intensity of your cardio sessions as we see you progressing and getting fitter.
• If you miss sessions we will phone you to get you in!
• If you've had a long break from your program (for example, more than 3 days) we will phone you.
• We can provide progress checks at regular intervals. This way we can let you know how close you are to achieving your goals. It also allows us to adjust your program if necessary.

Membership

Our membership periods are for 5 or 10 weeks. This seems like a short period but the benefit of this is that you will achieve your results in stages. You won't over-commit yourself. Your program and results can be assessed regularly. Physiologically, your body's nervous system will plateau between 8-12 weeks so starting again each 10 weeks with a new program will prevent this plateau.
