READY FOR
A GOOD TRUCKING?

There are a number of reasons why you might consider working with a personal trainer. Fitness may be completely new to you and you need an extra push. You might be getting back into training after an injury, and need a helping hand. Perhaps you’re training for something specific and need advice on how to tailor your routine.

One of our founding principles is that personal training should be just that: personal to you. Everyone starts at different points, with differing abilities. The key benefit of a good PT is that they know the level you’re starting at and can adapt a training program to work for you. If you’ve got an old, niggling injury, they can work on ways to build up strength around the affected area. They might also advise you which movements you’ll need to avoid.

Your trainer will help you to get the most out of each session. When you exercise on your own, it’s easy to lose focus during a workout – especially if you’re tired or you’re finding it hard. When you work with a PT though, they will structure the session. They sense if you’re getting fatigued and your form is suffering, and they know how to adapt the exercises. They’ve planned out each exercise, each set and each rep with your goals in mind. You have a fixed amount of time to benefit from their coaching, which helps you to stay focussed.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT?

You've got questions. We've got answers

What are The Fitness Truck sessions like?

We like to make fitness fun, and accessible to everyone, so our sessions are always varied to keep things interesting. Our trainers will check your form throughout, and might suggest ways to modify movement so that you get the most from your workout. We’ll ensure you’re able to complete each exercise safely and with the correct techniques – then we’ll start adding in some more advanced work.

What equipment will we use?

Our truck is packed full of functional gym equipment – things like Slam Balls, TRX Straps, Battle Ropes, Dumbbells, Kettlebells, Power Bags, Sparring Pads. We specialise in functional fitness, so sessions will use some of our equipment, and we’ll often include bodyweight and plyometrics style movement too. If all of this sounds like a foreign language, don’t panic – we’ll guide you through it all!

Where are you located?

We’re based in South Yorkshire – lots of our sessions are around Sheffield, Rotherham and over in the Peak District. Since we’re the gym that comes to you (have truck, will travel!) you let us know where you’d like to meet us.

How long are the sessions?

Our sessions typically last between 40 minutes to 1 hour – depending on the intensity we’re working at, and on the outcome goals you have set. We can work within your existing commitments, so if you’re limited on time, we’ll help you fit in shorter sessions.

How much space will we need?

We tend to run our personal sessions in around 2m², in gardens, in kitchens, in living rooms – we’re not fussy. We’ll work with the space you have available if you’d rather stay at home. If you’d like a little more room, we also have private use of a training facility.

Can my family join in too?

Of course! It’s up to you how your personal sessions go. You can choose to have 1-to-1 personal training, couples fitness for you and your partner, or we can run whole family sessions where the kids can get involved too.

Got a question we’ve not covered? Send us a message and we’ll do our best to answer you!
