Personal training in Bromley: do you really need a personal trainer?

Most people think results need a 1-to-1 personal trainer. Then they see what two or three sessions a week costs, and either never start or stop after a month. There’s a better way to get what a trainer actually gives you.

What a trainer really gives you

You don’t need a trainer. You need three things a trainer provides.

Strip personal training back and it comes down to three things. A 1-to-1 trainer covers the first two for an hour at a time. The third, the one that decides most results, mostly happens when they aren’t there.

A plan made for you

A programme written around your goals, your body and your week, not a template from an app.

Coaching in the session

Someone watching your form, choosing the weight and moving you on when you’re ready.

Accountability in between

There are 168 hours in a week. Food, sleep and turning up again happen in the other 165, and that’s where most people stall.

The honest comparison

1-to-1 personal training, or a better way to use it

The usual route

1-to-1 personal training

  • One coach, one hour, every session
  • The most expensive way to train, so most people only keep it up for a few weeks
  • Little contact between sessions, which is where results are won or lost
  • Progress often stops when the sessions stop

The Avoya way

Small group PT plus accountability coaching

  • Your own programme, coached in sessions of no more than four people per coach
  • Far less per session than 1-to-1, so you can keep going long enough to see results
  • Check-ins, nutrition and habit coaching from our head coach between sessions
  • You learn to train on your own, so the results last

How it works

Coached in the gym, and outside it

1. Assessment and plan

You start with an assessment. Your coach writes a programme for your goals, your level and the time you have.

2. Small group PT

Upper, Lower and Strength sessions with no more than four per coach. Nobody does the same workout. How small group PT works.

3. Accountability coaching

Zsófia, our head coach, checks in on your food, sleep and habits between sessions, and adjusts the plan when life gets in the way.

Questions

Personal training, answered

Do I need a personal trainer to get results?

No. You need a plan written for you, coaching on your technique and someone keeping you on track between sessions. Small group PT with accountability coaching gives you all three without the cost of 1-to-1 sessions.

Is small group personal training as good as 1-to-1?

For most people, yes. You still follow your own programme with a coach watching your form, in a group of no more than four per coach. Because it costs far less per session, most people can keep it up long enough to see real results.

What is accountability coaching?

It’s the coaching that happens outside the gym. Our head coach, Zsófia, checks in on your food, sleep and habits between sessions and adjusts your plan when life gets busy.

Are your personal trainers qualified?

Yes. Every Avoya coach holds Level 2 gym instructor and Level 3 personal trainer qualifications. Our head coach, Zsófia, also holds a Level 4 nutrition qualification.

Is it suitable for beginners?

Yes. Small group PT is for beginners and intermediates, and your programme is set for your level and moved on as you get stronger.
