Personal Training: Most Asked Questions
Personal TrainingThe instructors in our health club often get asked questions about personal training, so we've gathered the most common to answer for you...
How do I pick a personal trainer?
We all know that everyone is different. Some people thrive off the challenge of a tough instructor and others need gentle encouragement to reach their goals. That's why it's a really good idea to get to know the person who'll be helping you through your fitness journey. For example, we have many trainers to choose from who are highly qualified in lots of different areas of fitness so you will definitely find one that you connect with. There are personal training profiles up in our gym that you can take a look at or you can come in and meet the team and choose from there. And remember; personal trainers want the best for you and your fitness, so don't be scared if you don't think their style of training will match with yours - you'll get much better results working with someone you feel comfortable with!

How many sessions a week of personal training should I have?
This is a really personal question - you can have as many as you like! We fit personal training around our clients and our instructors availability. We create personalised one-on-one sessions specifically designed to each client’s needs to ensure you reach your fitness goals and are supported 100% on your personal training journey. So it really does depend on your fitness goals, if you just want to increase your general fitness maybe one session a week would be best, but if you're training for an event you might want to increase the number of sessions. The best answer to this question is to talk to your personal trainer, be open about your goals and what you want from the sessions and they can provide the best solution.

Do we offer personal training and how much does it cost?

After 10 years of being a member and having been going to other gyms since I was 16 I can honestly say St Michaels for me just feels the perfect balance.
The instructors are not only very experienced and approachable in what they teach they are also, very importantly, just so human. They make everyone feel so welcome and included .. that vibe is so important. Every member matters.
Being a ‘member’ of St Michaels Health Club is more than the word suggests. You will find a community of like-minded people who just want to try their best to be consistent in their endeavours to keep as fit and healthy as they can. Fellow triers and the incredible team behind us at the club keep me motivated endlessly. The gym equipment and layout allows you to go your own way however I will say guidance is on hand easily.
Always you will be inspired and supported from both the team at the club and members alike. It’s friendly, I don’t feel intimidated and I’m getting results!
I’ve been a member of St Michaels for over 2 years and absolutely love it. Mainly doing classes, I invested in a PT session and now have a bespoke gym programme which I really enjoy. The range of classes is phenomenal and I do everything from spin to strength & conditioning to body combat, fascia release, body balance and yoga. The fact that body balance and yoga are held outside during the summer months is an extra bonus; yoga on Gylly beach is just sublime! I really like the fact that I am challenged in the classes and the standard of training is the best that I have encountered.
I’ve made lots of friends as everyone is so friendly. Changing areas are fab and the ability to have a post class shower is the icing on the cake!
As a longstanding member of St Michaels, I continue to choose to train and relax here due to the club's friendly and knowledgeable staff, both at the health club reception and those who take fitness classes. The proximity of the facilities to Gyllyngvase beach is a huge plus, as I swim and train in the sea as much as I can. Outdoor classes are a great idea and I find running and exercising near the coast uplifting. For me, the wellness membership offers everything I need to balance treating myself to time in the spa, staying motivated to become stronger and fitter with Lauren's personal training, plus gym sessions and classes and regular use of the sauna and steam rooms to wind down and catch up with friends. The club is an important part of my life.
