Personal Training Tailored to You
No single training programme works for everyone.
Your training should reflect your goals, current fitness level, experience, lifestyle, preferences and the time you can realistically commit.
That’s why your programme is individually designed, not based on a generic plan.
Depending on your goals, your personal training programme may focus on:
Building muscle
Increasing strength
Losing body fat
Improving cardiovascular fitness
Improving mobility and movement
Developing athletic performance
Improving confidence in the gym
Learning correct exercise technique
Returning to exercise following an injury
Preparing for a specific sporting goal
We’ll monitor your progress and adjust your training as you become fitter and stronger.
What Does Personal Training Include?
Pendulum Fitness personal training goes beyond working through workouts with a trainer.
Individualised Training Programmes
Your workouts are structured around your specific goals, abilities and training experience.
You’ll know what you’re doing, why you’re doing it and how each exercise contributes to your overall goal.
Expert Exercise Coaching
Whether you’re completely new to resistance training or an experienced gym-goer, you’ll receive guidance on exercise technique, movement and training progression.
This can help you train more effectively and confidently while avoiding common mistakes.
Progressive Training
Your programme will develop as you do.
Rather than repeating the same workouts, we’ll progressively adjust exercises, resistance, volume, intensity and other training variables to keep you appropriately challenged.
Nutritional Guidance
Where appropriate, we can provide practical nutritional guidance to complement your training and help you work towards goals such as fat loss, muscle gain and improved performance.
Accountability and Support
Having someone monitor your progress can make it easier to stay consistent.
We’ll help you set realistic targets, monitor your progress and adjust when your circumstances change.
Personal Training for Different Goals
Fat Loss
If your goal is to lose body fat, we’ll combine resistance and cardiovascular training with practical nutritional guidance to help you create sustainable habits.
The goal isn’t simply to exercise more. It’s to develop a training and lifestyle approach you can maintain.
Muscle Building
If you’re looking to build muscle, your programme will focus on resistance training, progressive overload, recovery and nutrition.
We’ll help you understand how to train effectively rather than simply giving you a list of exercises.
Strength
Whether you’re new to strength training or want to improve your performance on specific lifts, we’ll develop your programme around your current ability and goals.
You’ll learn how to perform exercises effectively and progressively increase your training over time.
Sports Performance
If you participate in sport, we can adapt your training around the physical qualities your sport requires.
Depending on your goals, this may include developing:
Strength
Power
Speed
Agility
Cardiovascular fitness
Mobility
Balance
Conditioning
Confidence in the Gym
If you feel uncomfortable or unsure when training alone, personal training can give you the knowledge and confidence to use the gym effectively.
We’ll teach you how to use equipment, perform exercises correctly and structure your own training.
Personal Training for Beginners
You don’t need to be fit before starting personal training.
If you’re new to exercise or haven’t trained for a long time, we’ll start at an appropriate level and progressively build your fitness.
Your sessions can help you:
Learn fundamental exercises
Understand how to use gym equipment.
Build strength and fitness.
Develop confidence
Establish a consistent exercise routine.
Understand how to structure your own workouts.
You won’t be expected to know what to do before you arrive. That’s what your personal trainer is here to help with.
Personal Training for Experienced Gym-Goers
Personal training isn’t only for beginners.
If you’ve been training for years but feel you’ve reached a plateau, don’t know how to structure your programme, or want to take your performance further, working with a personal trainer can add expertise and accountability.
We can help you analyse your current training, identify areas for improvement and introduce appropriate progression.
Personal Training and Sports Therapy
One advantage of Pendulum Fitness is combining Personal Training and Sports Therapy.
If you’re returning to exercise after an injury, we can adapt your training to your current capabilities and rehabilitation goals.
Where appropriate, we can introduce exercise progressively to help you rebuild strength, movement capacity and confidence.
If you currently have an injury or persistent pain, however, a Sports Therapy assessment may be more appropriate before you begin or progress your training.

1-to-1 or 2-to-1 Personal Training
You can choose between individual 1-to-1 training or training with a partner through our 2-to-1 personal training sessions.
1-to-1 Personal Training
Get the trainer’s full attention throughout your session, with every exercise and training decision tailored to you.
2-to-1 Personal Training
Train alongside a partner while still receiving personalised coaching. This can be an excellent option for couples, friends or training partners who want to work towards their goals together.

Your Training Programme on Our Dedicated App
You can record your prescribed training through the Pendulum Fitness app, giving you access to your programme and allowing you to monitor your progress.
This means you can see what you need to complete, track your training and stay consistent between personal training sessions.
Your programme isn’t limited to the time you spend with your trainer.
The aim is to help you become increasingly confident and capable of training independently.
How Often Should You Have Personal Training?
There isn’t a single correct number of personal training sessions per week.
The right frequency depends on your goals, experience, availability, budget and how much independent training you’re prepared to complete.
For example:
1 session per week
Ideal if you want expert guidance while completing additional training independently.
2 sessions per week
Provides more frequent coaching and accountability and can be useful when learning a new programme or working towards a specific goal.
3+ sessions per week
May be appropriate for certain goals or individuals who want a greater level of direct coaching.
We’ll help you determine a realistic training frequency based on your circumstances rather than simply recommending more sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be fit before starting personal training?
No. Personal training suits complete beginners and experienced gym-goers. Your programme will be adapted to your current fitness level.
How much personal training do I need?
That depends on your goals, budget, availability and how much training you are willing to complete independently. We’ll help you choose a realistic frequency.
Can personal training help me lose weight?
Yes. Personal training can combine resistance training, cardiovascular exercise and nutritional guidance to support fat loss. Your programme will be designed around sustainable progress rather than short-term approaches.
Can personal training help me build muscle?
Yes. Your programme can incorporate progressive resistance training and appropriate nutritional guidance to support muscle growth.
Can I train with a friend or partner?
Yes. Pendulum Fitness offers 2-to-1 personal training for people who want to train together while still receiving personalised coaching.
Can you help me if I’ve had an injury?
Potentially. Your training can be adapted around previous injuries, and your Sports Therapy experience provides an additional perspective when appropriate. If you have a current injury or persistent pain, we may recommend a Sports Therapy assessment first.

Personal training sessions take place at Holmleigh Park Sports Centre or Brockworth Sports Centre. If you want to use the facilities independently outside your PT sessions, you can also explore membership options at the relevant sports centre.
