One-to-One Personal Training Sessions

As a personal trainer in Cardiff, I work with clients who want a clear structure along with proper guidance that gives them results that last, and my one-to-one personal training sessions will give you my complete attention so that every session is focused on you, your ability and making sure that you progress towards your goals. I find that some of my clients like the social aspect of group training sessions, but because they have little training experience, they can make mistakes while training, which can slow down results.

With one-to-one personal training it allows me to adjust your training sessions in real time if something isn’t working or if you have hit a plateau. The same can also be said if you are progressing quickly, in these instances, we can push your training further so you can smash your goals and challenge yourself in ways which you never would have thought were possible in the past.

One-to-one personal training is great for those who have limited experience in the gym, as it allows me to watch how you move so that I can give you tips on technique and form. Not only will this help you with your fitness goals, but long-term, it will provide you with the knowledge that will keep you safe when training.

You don’t have to stay at one-to-one either, as your training progresses, you can switch to group training, where there is a much more social environment.

For many of my clients in Cardiff, the reason why they have chosen one-to-one personal training is that it keeps them accountable. Knowing that you have a session booked in, I won’t let you give 100% effort, and you won’t want to miss any sessions either. Having a one-to-one personal training session will mean that I will always be there tracking your progress and keeping you accountable, you won’t skip workouts, and I will make sure that you will give maximum effort each training session, even on those days when you feel a little tired or demotivated. This happens to us all, but having someone to push you can make a big difference.

Consistency in the gym and outside of it is what drives results, and if you sign up for one-to-one personal training sessions with me, you can be sure that I will keep you consistent when working out in the gym and also with your nutrition so you can reach the goals that you have set for yourself.

What to expect from your sessions

With our one-to-one sessions, every new session is structured around a new plan that builds on the last one. This is so you aren’t doing random exercises, and so progress doesn’t stall.

Think of it this way, we may have set a workout, and you may fail on your lift or find one easier than it should have been. Without one-to-one training, you may not know the right way to train the next time you run that routine. I can help you navigate this, whether it’s changing the exercise, lowering the weights, having a deload week or changing your nutrition.

Every session will work towards the goal that you set during your initial consultation, and we will focus on building strength, improving your fitness and progressing towards that goal each week. Not only will I keep you on the right track through your training, but I will keep you motivated too, especially on those days where you would rather stay in bed than get yourself to a gym and lift heavy.

With my one-to-one personal training sessions, they can take place in the gym, outdoors or even at your home, depending on what works best for you. This flexibility helps because I know that sometimes life gets in the way. So if you think this is the type of training that you need, get in touch with me today for a free consultation so we can see where you current;y are on your fitness journey and where you want to be.

My one-to-one sessions also mean that as you progress, your training plan will evolve, and whether that entails setting new targets or maintaining what you currently have, we can do that. And as we mentioned earlier, if you want to, then change from one-to-one sessions, you may want to try our group training too, where you can have a more social aspect to your training, which keeps going to the gym fun, yet motivating.

Who is one-to-one personal training for?

Anyone can hire me for my one-to-one personal training sessions, but in my experience, people who often want one-to-one support will be those who aren’t that confident in the gym, or those who have tried working out but can’t get consistent results. You may be new to training, or you may have not trained in a while. Or you may be an experienced lifter that’s hit a plateau. Whatever your current situation, I can help.

If you are new to training, need structure, have a specific goal in mind, such as putting on muscle or want to learn to train efficiently without wasting time, then a one-to-one session is often the best place to start.

If you think that one-to-one personal training is not the right fit for you right now, then you may want to try my group personal training sessions, online training or at-home personal training.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I moved to cardiff for work and wanted to find someone who could help me lose a few pounds.  A few people in our office recommended toby and i must say he has been great.  lost close to 2 stone with him when i couldn't lose weight before.

What I love about working with toby is he does outdoor and indoor training and as i live down cardiff bay there are plenty of places to work out.  I've done running workouts going through mermaid quay, past the sennedd and back to my house near ocean way, which i never thought i could have done last year.

We've also done workouts indoors when the weather isnt as nice.  The workouts are varied, i do weights, cardio, intervals and everything else in between.

As for Toby hes great, makes me laugh, makes me determined and puts me through my paces.  i've been with Toby for a few months now and he's brilliant.

Thanks Tob.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Training with Toby has been great! I never expected to enjoy gymming this much. I’m a musician (violinist) so have to be a bit careful with my upper body, and Toby has tailored my training accordingly. I’ve visibly lost weight and built muscle over the last 6 months with very little soreness, and even when I’m travelling (which I do a lot for work) Toby sends me detailed, thought-out sessions so that I can maintain consistency. He’s both flexible and v much on it, and I’d happily recommend him as a PT!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been training with Toby for 6 months. The reason for doing so wasn’t really to lose significant weight but was to increase my overall fitness and overall technique. I really like his attention detail helping you master every rep. The workouts are really varied and I’ve learnt loads. Thank you Toby for all that you’ve done! 👏🏻

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I teamed up with Toby in September last year having moved to the city to build my overall fitness and strength as well as getting more in shape. The journey we’ve been on has been superb and the results I’ve achieved with Toby have been better than expected.
Toby is a great personal trainer. He’s really supportive and motivational and regularly keeps in touch in between sessions to see how things are post sessions. His sessions are well thought through and made sure I was getting the best out of them and making the right progress in the right areas.
I would highly recommend Toby and a huge thank you Toby for the journey we went on

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Toby is a great personal trainer, and a really nice guy who is calm in his approach but there when you need that extra push. With access to a private studio there is no need to feel intimidated by the idea of the gym, but Toby will help build that confidence so you can go into the gym on your own. We’ve done a variety of session indoors and outdoor including runs training for a race!
Would recommend Toby to all.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started trading with Toby in April 23 with the goal of building muscle and losing body fat ready for a 6 week holiday in September 23. Not only did i achieve those 2 goals I was also able to develop my understanding of training with his guidance and also to become an overall fitter, stronger and more mobile version of myself.  Toby is super flexible with training and is always available to answer questions I had on training and also on nutrition.  Not only did I get pushed to my limits training with Toby I was also able to see the results from the knowledge he was able to give me.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Toby is always willing to be flexible and go above and beyond to help you reach your goals.

I was trying to improve overall fitness while also trying to lose weight for my wedding. We achieved both because Toby was willing to shift things around in the weeks running up to the wedding to ensure I always managed to train. But he also did things like ran Cardiff 10k with me one Sunday just to make sure I did the best I could.

He is a great guy and he really knows how to get results. While the wedding has past, I will continue to work with Toby because I am so happy with my improvements.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would highly recommend Toby as a personal trainer. I started my training programme with him 2-3 sessions per week 11 months ago. Initially I planned to do a 12 week programme but I made so much progress and enjoyed the sessions so much I continued the programme. Toby is a very knowledgeable and experienced personal trainer. His training sessions have great variety and combine cardiovascular with strength and conditioning work. He is very professional and brings a great energy and positivity to the sessions. I made incredible progress and he really helped me achieve my goals and look my best for my wedding. I would highly recommend him as a personal trainer.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I contacted Toby during the first lockdown, shortly after learning that I was expecting my first child. I was nervous and completely unsure of what to expect. I knew that I wanted to be in the best possible place physically. He worked closely with me and specifically focused my sessions for all stages of prenatal training. I made fantastic results and couldn't thank him enough for preparing me physically, this in turn made me mentally stronger and helped me deliver my beautiful son. We arranged to continue with my postnatal development 8 weeks later. He was caring and listened to how I was feeling and structured the sessions accordingly. At first we were working pelvic floor exercises, posture exercises and just getting my body back to a place where I could start to really train properly. I'm now  looking better and feeling fitter than I ever have before and we've just booked in to the Cardiff 10k in the summer.

If your looking for one to one training, I couldn't recommend Toby enough. He is knowledgeable and approachable

FAQS

How many sessions do I need?

Most clients train between one and three times per week, depending on their goals and schedule.

As you progress you can cut down on the frequency of sessions if you need to.

What I would recomend is if you are a new lifter or don’t have experience with diet and exercise then having as many training sessions as you can afford in the begining and then cutting them back as you progress is going to workout the best for you.

Do I need to be fit before starting?

No not at all, if you have never been to the gym, if you can’t run for 30 seconds without getting out of breath or if you aren’t confident to go to the gym at all, don’t worry.

My one-to-one personal training sessions are built around your fitness starting point and your overall fitness goals.

Afterall the whole point of hiring a personal trainer is to improve on your health and fitness, so don’t think because you aren’t fit right now that you shouldn’t hire a personal trainer.

Where do sessions take place?

Sessions can take place in many of the gyms in Cardiff, outdoors or even at your home. I am flexible and can help you to reach your goals what ever your current fitness situation. This allows my clients to be more consistent so they get the results they desire.

How quickly will I see results?

Everyone is different, some clients have lost weight within the first week while others have started to notice improvements within the first few weeks of working together. As every personal training session is adapted to you, you can be sure that if you follow the plan you will get the results that you have worked hard for, I guarantee it.
