What Personal Training looks like as we exit lockdown.
(Apologies for the above sweaty selfie ruining your day)
We’re not out of the woods yet.
I/ we know that.
Restrictions are rightly still in place for the foreseeable future for OUR HEALTH, and that’s the main thing here.
However…
I think we could all be excused for getting a wee bit excited at the thought of our freedoms starting to ease back to us.
Specifically when it comes to getting back to our pre-lockdown exercise habits- my god I’ll never take a day in the gym for granted again.
The government has recently given the green light for outdoor Personal Training sessions to go ahead for up to 6 people- including myself.
Initially I was a little reluctant to get back to it, what with my profession being one with making people fitter, healthier and at LESS risk of illness or injury.
And although we’re only a few weeks past that point I’m now confident that with in keeping with guidelines and restrictions we’re able to safely begin the conversation around in-person PT sessions again.
How these will look:
They need to be outside in gardens or public spaces- no home gyms/ no garages or indoor facilities (Thank you June for this glorious weather so far).
We’ll need to be 2m away from each other at all times- no fist bumps unfortunately, air fives it is.
Equipment will be slightly limited based on what I and you have access to, although movement opportunities are still endless.
I’ll be fully on top of disinfecting equipment between every session, providing wipes, hand sanitiser and everything/ anything else necessary.
Sessions will be limited in numbers and spaced appropriately apart so as to limit person to person interactions.
I’ll need to get permission from any public land owners, conduct risk assessments before sessions and once that’s done my insurance is valid.
These guidelines are of course subject to change depending on current circumstances.
At this point I’ve decided not to take on any new in-person PT clients. This is due to placing a priority on helping my current super cool fitness dudes with what they’ve got going on.
My diary now has to take into account driving to and from locations and logistics is going to play its part whilst moving towards a full schedule.
However, thankfully throughout these last 3 months (well, for more than 2 years) I’ve been able to support my clients completely online with their fully tailored training programmes, nutrition coaching, weekly check ins and full support whenever they need it and I do have a limited number of spaces (most likely 2 or 3) for online coaching at this at this point.

You can’t believe how excited I am to be finally thinking about this next step towards normality, however that may look.
