What Personal Training actually looks like...

It’s not shouting.
It’s not 1000 reps of burpees to make you feel tired.
It’s not being judged for how fit (or not) you are.

This is what Personal Training is at Athletica:

A coach who listens.
A coach who can adapt to the person who walks in that day.
A programme that starts where you are right now.
A private studio that feels like its yours.

It’s asking “how’s your body feeling today?” and adapting things to still keep you moving forward even when you think you can’t

It’s adapting when your back is playing up again, but you still want to train.

It’s coaching that is solely focused on you.

Most people don’t need to “train harder.”
They need someone who’s going to keep them turning up on days where they normally wouldn’t on their own.

In a world full of matching gym outfits, too many mirrors and tripods. We are proud to be a little different. 

(If you’ve ever felt like you “aren’t a gym person”… we were made for you.)

Most people think they need to train 7 days a week and follow a strict diet plan to see any kind of result.

What if we told you that training twice per week could double your strength, give you better sleep and help you manage stress with ease?

Not a sales pitch. That's what happened to Jemma after training for a few months.
Twice per week.

No mad diets, no complete overhaul of your day, just consistently showing up and training in a way that suits you.

Now here's the sales pitch...

Training hard doesn't mean what you think it is.

We talk a lot about being a welcoming place to train.
somewhere you feel comfortable walking into for the first time.
But once you're here, we actually want you to train hard.
Why?
Because that's what actually gets you results.

The difference is that training hard here isn't:

❌ Leaving so sore you can't move for a week
❌ Pushing to failure on every set
❌ Being put through a session designed to make you suffer for no reason.

Training hard here means:

✅ Leaving knowing you pushed as hard as you could that day.
✅ Progressive sessions that match you.
✅ Hard for you, not us.

If you want a place that's going to throw together some random s**t to "Impress you" or make you feel like you've worked hard
we aren't it!

the one thing that stops women jumping into strength training….And why it shouldn’t

“I don’t want to get bulky”

Building a serious amount of muscle mass takes years and years of dedicated training, specific diets and in some cases a lil bit of extra help (You know what we mean)

Lifting weights will not turn you into Arni overnight

But, here’s what we can assure you it will do

It’ll make you:
Stronger
Leaner/Toned
More confident
Improve your posture
Increase your energy for daily stuff
Make you more capable in everyday life
(Like telling the guy who asks you if you need help lifting your bags that you’ve got this)

Anything else put you off strength training?

The one thing we refuse to compromise on….

Whilst everyone else seems to be focusing on packing their rooms full of as many people as possible

The one thing we refuse to compromise on is you having your space

We always wanted Athletica to feel like the gym you’d build at the end of your garden

Somewhere you feel comfortable
Somewhere that feels like it’s partly yours and away from the madness

(Until you realise we are mad)

Keep your socks on though please xx

One spot left ☝️

Last week we had two women sign up for our Women’s Only Small Group Personal Training.

One had trained in commercial gyms and hated how busy it was. She’d dread how packed it would get and felt judged for training how she wanted to.

The other had trained for a goal she’s no longer interested in and wants to get strong. No more restrictive eating and training in a way that made her look strong but feel terrible.

Both were done with training that didn’t fit the phase of life they’re in now.

Annnddddd that’s where we step in.

Once this spot is filled it’ll be a long old time before something comes up again

Drop us a dm to grab the last one

Every PT and fitness influencer you follow will disagree with this.
And as coaches who put a lot of time and effort into programming, it kind of hurts to say.
The best programme on paper won't get you results unless:

You enjoy it.
You try hard.

We get asked all the time...
What's the best way to train? Should I do 3 days a week or 5?

The truth is, you could have the most perfectly written programme in the world, but if you don't enjoy it, you won't stick at it.

And if you don't push yourself, it won't work.
You can find proof of this in every gym in the world.
There's always someone there with a programme that makes no sense on paper, but they're showing up, working hard, and getting results.

That's why we push so hard on clients having a say in their training and finding ways for them to enjoy it.

Within reason. Maybe not too much, though. 😂

How do we know Athletica is the best place to train?

Because it’s where we train too

We’re not just coaches here, we’re members too 💪🏻

We know how difficult it is to fit the time in to train around everything else you have going on

Having somewhere you actually enjoy training in makes the decision easier

That’s why we built a place we’d actually want to train in ourselves

Welcome to the crazy gang!

We’d like to formally introduce Bob to you all!

Show some love and drop him a follow.

Bob can now be booked as your personal trainer here at Athletica

Firstly, get to know him a bit more 👇

What made you want to be a personal trainer?

I’ve always been active growing up playing rugby, then getting into lifting, running and hiking. Training has always been a big part of my life, but I realised I enjoy helping other people improve just as much as doing it myself. That’s what made me want to take it further.

Describe your role at Athletica in under 5 words.

Confidence. Strength. Movement. Pain-free.

Best thing about being a personal trainer so far?
Seeing people go from struggling with something to moving well and feeling confident doing it.

Worst thing about being a personal trainer?
Trying to have a conversation and count reps at the same time then lose track… and just say “yeah go on, a few more.”
