“If exercise could be packaged in a pill, it would be the single most widely prescribed and beneficial medicine in the nation.” - Robert Butler, National Institute on Aging

The benefits of exercise are endless – extending far beyond physical changes like weight loss, increased strength and muscle mass, improved bone density and cardiovascular health. Regular movement and exercise also supports emotional and psychological well-being, helping to boost confidence, reduce stress and ease symptoms of anxiety and depression. Over the long-term, regular activity and exercise plays a powerful role in reducing the risk of, and helping to manage, a wide range of conditions including osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, stroke, cancer and high blood pressure.

Overall, exercise may be one of the best tools at our disposal to improve our overall quality of life. It enables us to engage in valued activities and to do the things that we love. While many people are aware of these benefits, putting that knowledge into action is where the challenge lies. There are many barriers to consistent exercise; perhaps not knowing where to start, what exercises to do, wondering if you are performing them safely, or simply not having the time or the motivation to stick with them over the long-term.

This is exactly where a dedicated personal trainer can make all the difference.

At MD Performance & Therapy, we are more than just fitness instructors – we are dedicated coaches committed to delivering a high-quality, personalised service that will help you overcome these barriers to exercise. Together, we will devise and execute an individualised programme that suits your background, circumstances, lifestyle and goals, empowering you to take charge of your health and well-being.

Your coach will take the time to listen to your story to get a true sense of your underlying motivations and the personal challenges that have got in the way in the past. They’ll meet you exactly where you are, providing guidance, accountability, and support as you work toward the goals that matter most to you—whether that’s losing 10 pounds, building strength, improving body composition, or simply being able to run around the garden with your kids or grandkids!

We understand that starting your fitness journey can be intimidating—that’s why we strive to create an environment that is safe, inclusive, non-threatening, and genuinely welcoming. Our coaching combines support with challenge, structure with novelty, and always, a sense of fun. This is a place where you’ll not only work hard, but feel good—inside and out.

Personal training at MD Performance & Therapy will help you to look, move and feel better – stronger, healthier and more confident than ever before!

We have a number of personal training (PT) options to choose from at MD Performance & Therapy, including 1-1, semi-private and remote PT, which you can read about below.

1-1 Personal Training offers the most individualised personal training option available at MD Performance & Therapy. 1-1 PT is an ideal choice for those that are ‘all-in’ on their stated health and fitness goals and are looking for a customised approach and direct support and guidance from a coach to achieve these goals.

Whilst still receiving a individualised training plan based on your stated goals. you will train in a small group of like-minded individuals looking to achieve similar goals, supervised by a qualified coach in an environment that is safe, supportive and fun! Semi-private PT strikes the perfect balance between premium 1-1 training and the affordability and support system associated with group-based training.

The remote programming service is for those looking to obtain a unique, individualised training programme tailored towards their specific goals whether this is weight loss, muscle gain, strength or general fitness, wherever you are in the world.

When signing up for remote programming you will complete a comprehensive questionnaire which will give you the opportunity to highlight your previous training experience, the gym equipment you have access to, your injury history, how many days you are able to dedicate to training and of course your own individual short-term and long-term goals.

Remote programming will be provided via the TrainHeroic app, which provides video demonstrations of all exercises and will allow you to communicate your progress with your coach to make sure you are on track to achieve your goals.

Programmes can be catered for your unique individual circumstances, so whether you have access to a full commercial gym or limited equipment at home, or whether you wish to train two days a week or five, the programme will take all of these factors into consideration for you.

• Individualised training programme tailored to your specific goals
• Weekly remote programming via the TrainHeroic app, allowing you to log your activity, track your progress, view video demonstrations of exercises and gain valuable insight on readiness metrics such as sleep, soreness and stress
