Frequently asked questions

No. You don't need to know your way around the gym or get fitter before starting. We'll begin with your goals and experience, then adapt the exercises and pace to you.

It's a 30-minute appointment at JD Gyms Renfrew. We'll discuss your goals, training history and routine. You can ask questions, and we may look at some basic movements where appropriate and you're comfortable.

Yes. There's no charge and no obligation to purchase a package afterwards.

No. The consultation is mainly a conversation and an opportunity to understand your starting point. It may involve movement screening, but it isn't a full personal training session.

The consultation is a free 30-minute introduction. Starter costs £99 and provides two paid, 60-minute sessions, technique coaching, a training needs assessment and a practical starting plan. Starter isn't a free trial.

Each 60-minute one-to-one session focuses on exercises selected for your goals, with technique coaching, appropriate adjustments and gradual progression. The exact work depends on you, not a fixed workout everyone follows.

That depends on your goals, experience, available time and independent training. Coaching includes one session each week, while Coaching+ includes two. Starter is a one-off two-session introduction.

Coaching and Coaching+ both include personalised programming for training between appointments. Starter includes a practical starting plan, but not ongoing programming or weekly reviews.

Yes. Training can focus on strength, muscle-building and improving body composition, with exercise selection and progression based on your starting point. I won't promise a particular transformation or a guaranteed rate of weight loss.

Coaching and Coaching+ include practical guidance on nutrition habits that support your goals. This isn't medical nutrition treatment or an alternative to personalised advice from a qualified dietitian or healthcare professional.

We'll choose measures relevant to you, such as strength, exercise performance, consistency and confidence. Movement tasks can be revisited when useful, but a screen alone cannot diagnose conditions or predict injuries.

It depends on your circumstances. Please raise relevant symptoms before training. Exercises may need adapting and, where appropriate, you should first seek assessment from a qualified healthcare professional. Personal training isn't injury diagnosis or treatment.

Starter costs £99 for two 60-minute sessions, one-off. Coaching costs £180 for four sessions in a four-week block. Coaching+ costs £320 for eight sessions in a four-week block. JD Gyms membership is separate.

Starter is an introduction with technique coaching and a starting plan. Coaching adds weekly sessions, personalised programming, practical nutrition guidance and weekly reviews. Coaching+ provides the same ongoing support with two coached sessions each week.

No. Four weeks means 28 days, which isn't the same as a calendar month. Both ongoing packages are priced per four-week block.

No. There's no compulsory 12-week commitment. Starter is a one-off package; Coaching and Coaching+ are offered in four-week blocks.

The consultation is free. Before purchasing paid coaching, I'll confirm the payment arrangements and applicable terms with you. Please ask if you'd like to clarify anything first.

All one-to-one sessions take place at JD Gyms Renfrew, Renfrew Retail Park, Renfrew, PA4 9EN. I don't currently travel to clients' homes for training.

Yes, for paid personal training. You need a valid JD Gyms membership, purchased separately from your AB Personal Training coaching package.

Please contact me before booking if you're not a JD Gyms member, so that we can confirm suitable access arrangements. Entry isn't automatically included with the consultation.

AB Personal Training is my independent coaching business, not an official JD Gyms programme. Sessions take place at JD Gyms Renfrew, subject to its membership and access requirements.

Choose a slot for the free 30-minute consultation on the website. You'll be asked for your contact details and primary fitness goal. Booking the consultation doesn't purchase coaching.

Comfortable clothing and trainers are ideal, particularly if you'd like to try some simple movements. No special equipment is required, and you're welcome to bring questions.

The free consultation confirmation includes Calendly links for changing or cancelling that booking. Paid-session cancellation and rescheduling arrangements should be confirmed with me before you purchase a package.

Email me to discuss what else may be possible. Sessions depend on my availability; the gym's opening hours aren't a promise that I'm available to coach.
