Services

As you might expect from a personal training & consulting business, I offer different packages for different needs. There’s no such thing as one-size-fits-all, so I’m giving you several different options to choose from.

Personal Training Packages

My personal training packages give you hands-on attention and guidance during your weekly workout sessions, whether it’s three times a week or just one check-in session. Personal training isn’t just about writing you a program, although designing an intelligent and customized program is part of the process. It’s about being there to watch you and coach you through that workout, too – a key component often neglected these days. I place a premium on technique and skill, and under ideal circumstances I’ll be standing there to correct any issues.

I’m not just going to put you on a circuit of machines and count reps, while I handle half the weight for you. That’s not what a personal trainer is supposed to do. I’m going to teach you how to lift weights, how to move correctly, and how to reach your physical potential.

I offer you a qualified and experienced eye, along with your comprehensive workout program and nutritional program. All of these hands-on training options can be purchased in blocks of One Month, Three Months, Six Months, and 12 Months, with flexible payment options. Whether you’re interested in fat loss, improved flexibility and mobility, overall fitness, or building basic strength, I’ve got options for you.

Of course you’re always welcome to buy individual sessions as well, but consider that health and fitness – to say nothing of strength and athletic ability – can’t be developed in a single workout. If you’re truly committed to improving yourself, one session won’t cut it. True changes need a long-term perspective. You need on-going guidance and motivation, not to mention intelligent programming and the skill of an experienced coach, to see the results you want. You need a change in your lifestyle, not just a handful of workouts.

My training packages are designed to give you that. You decide how many days per week to train – whether it’s just once a week or up to four times a week – and we go from there.

Depending on your needs and goals, I offer two kinds of basic training packages which are detailed below. To see other programs I offer, for targeted fat loss or joint health or fitness, see the respective pages.

One-on-One Training

One-on-one training is the staple of personal training, and it’s still the premier service. After a comprehensive interview and assessment, you’ll get full attention for one-hour sessions, which include dynamic warmups, flexibility and mobility work, strength training, cardio and conditioning, and post-workout warm-down and injury-prevention work.

This also includes a comprehensive nutritional consultation. You’ll learn the basics of sound nutrition and how to eat for your desired goals, be it fat loss, high performance, or general health.

One-on-One Training starts at $85 per session

Small Group Training

Small group training gives you the option to train with a friend or three. You still get all the benefits of a one-on-one session in a group of 2-4 people. Small groups guarantee that you’ll still get top-quality attention and supervision for your session, with the added bonus of having the motivation of training with a friend (or a future friend).

Small group training is offered in one-month blocks, with 1-4 sessions per week depending on your needs.

Small group training starts as low as $55 per session

Program & Nutrition Design

Sometimes you just need a little direction and reassurance. If that’s the case, you may be interested in having a comprehensive program designed for you.

My programming is based around extensive knowledge of sports science, focusing on all elements of fitness and tailored to your needs. I’ll draw you up a program for one month, and you’ll get a complementary hands-on skills session to demonstrate form on the basic exercises and answer any questions you may have.

This is perfect for those of you that want a little direction but don’t feel the need for on-going hands-on personal training.

Program Design, including one session and nutritional plan, is $149


Technique & Skills Session

If you just want to come in and learn a few things about the basic gym-exercises, this is for you. You’ll get one hour of hands-on coaching to pick my brain and have your form assessed on lifts like the squat, bench press, deadlift, military press, and barbell row.

This is absolutely invaluable if you’re one of the many that is unsure about your form on these lifts, or if you just want the peace of mind that comes from knowing you’re doing them correctly.

A one-hour technique & skills session is $99


Club Team Training

For sports teams in need of a strength & conditioning program. You’ll get a customized program tailored to your particular sport, whether you’re in the off-season or just looking to maintain during the competitive part of your year.

We can also arrange for hands-on sessions on an individual or group basis as your time allows. I offer this service at a discounted premium rate for any team or team members.

Training and Nutrition Consultations

If you’re not in the Auckland area but still want some guidance, I provide distance consultations for both training and nutrition. This service includes one month of programming, covering dynamic warmups, strength work, conditioning, and warmdown, along with a dietary analysis and a plan of action.

Consultations are geared towards those looking for improved strength and body composition, whether it’s for competitive purposes or just to look and feel better for yourself.

A one-time consultation, including program, diet, and follow-ups, is $350


Seminars & Clinics

Basic Lifting Clinic

Designed for beginners and veterans alike, this clinic is designed to teach you the essential elements of two weight-room staples: the Squat and the Bench Press. These two exercises are found in almost every program, yet only a handful of people can actually coach them or perform them properly.

Whether you’re looking to improve your own lifting or are a trainer yourself looking for an edge, you’re guaranteed to take away a new outlook on these important lifts. The clinic includes a hands-on demonstration of technique and coaching cues along with troubleshooting and a Q&A session.

The Basic Lifting Clinic is $30 per person, with a minimum of 10 people

    • Read It Later Button

      It’s no secret that I’m a verbose writer. I try to keep my articles under a 4000 word cut-off, but that’s still a chunk of text to digest on a computer screen. As much as I love to read, even I don’t have the patience to sit staring at the window for 10-20 minutes to process an article of that length.

      Recently I jumped on the Future Train and got myself an Android mini-tablet. This is a handy little device, as I’m sure those of you with iPhones and Android phones will attest, and I’ve found it surprisingly useful for organizing all the reading material that floats around me like the cloud following that dirty kid in the Peanuts cartoons.

      For the purpose of organizing the web articles I come across, I’ve found Read It Later indispensable. Find a long-ish piece that looks awesome but you just don’t have time right now? Click “read it later” and it’s stored in your account and synced across platforms. Set it up in your browser and on the mobile device and you’re set.

      It’s such a cool idea, and with my long articles likely being more the norm than the exception, I decided to add a button down at the bottom just in case anybody wants to make use of it.
