Hi, I’m Melody

Relax mentally and achieve so much more with the gym all to yourself, in the care of an experienced competent trainer and with music playing to suit your taste.  The gym itself is open, spacious, light and airy. It is always clean, tidy and well organised. Towels, water and facilities for changing and showering are all available for your convenience.

Enjoy your lesson in a stress free, positive and productive atmosphere, where I will be with you every step of the way to ensure your safety, enjoyment and results.

One-on-one training is proven to be the most effective method for learning any skill. With fitness in mind, it is the quality of training more than the quantity that will gain the best results.

Your exercise programme will be designed to suit you as a person along with your specific aims and goals. I’ll be with you every step of the way to explain why and how to do each exercise. It is important to know that you are in competent hands, particularly if you have any past or existing structural conditions which may be painful.

I’m looking forward to working with those of you who are seeking to improve your fitness and wellbeing in a private environment with a skilled experienced professional.

I believe fitness programmes should be: Practical > Appropriate > Enjoyable and > Specifically Designed for Your Lifestyle.

Posture & Movement Improvement are my specialities:

• Does your body hold you back from doing things you love?
• Do you hesitate to try new things?
• Are you sore and tired at the end of the day, or all day?
• Ever wondered why so many people are suffering from neck, shoulders and back pain?

These and many similar conditions have faulty movement patterns and painful postural habits at their root. Pain is a drain on energy, both physically and mentally. Thankfully, these patterns can be changed and more healthy habits formed.

Thirty years of experience teaching exercise, plus my dance and gymnastics background have all contributed to the development of a proven method for teaching correct posture and improving the functional movement of my clients.

With my guidance, you will experience notably improved posture and movement within 6 – 12 weeks. By this time, your new posture will feel normal and natural. You will understand how to use your body correctly for the things you do in your day to day life, so they will become easier and feel better.

Effective movement and posture has many benefits:

• Enjoy more energy all day and enough energy to enjoy your evening, because you can do so much more, so much easier.
• Reduce or eliminate aches, pains and stiffness and reduce wear and tear on your joints, through having better body mechanics.
• Redefine your shape and look 5kg lighter without losing any weight, by learning to hold yourself better.
• Project a sense of relaxed confidence in the way you sit, stand and move.

It is possible for you to improve your posture and movement. “The life-long benefits will be priceless”

Speaking to yourself with encouraging, honest and respectful words will not only transform your exercise sessions and will help you achieve your goals sooner; it will become a new habit and transform your life.

Here at the studio, we treat your body, the most amazing machine you will ever own, with all the love, respect and care it deserves. We give it every opportunity to amaze and delight you with what it can do.

We do this with encouragement, appreciation, and putting in effort whilst having fun.

You will leave your session energised and feeling good from the inside out.

It all begins with you making contact to arrange a mutually suitable time for a no-obligation meet and greet.

Our meet and greet

We will begin with a grand tour of the studio and facilities and then discuss what it is that you want to achieve. I will explain what I believe is likely to be involved with achieving your desired outcomes.

This is an opportunity for you to ask questions and gather the information you need before deciding to move forward.

Your first appointment

The first appointment is all about me gathering the information I need for your personalised programme. We start with explicitly specifying your goals; this ensures we both know exactly where we’re headed and can measure progress along the way.

Depending on your goals, I may need to ask questions to establish your medical profile, structural profile or both. In some instances I will require medical or physiotherapist clearance. It is important that any work we do is complementary and supportive of any other physical treatments you may be undergoing.

Any physical assessments we do will pertain to your specific outcomes; for example, I won’t ask to measure your weight and fat percent when your outcome is improving posture. I will then get a picture of your lifestyle and available time. From this, I will then plan a step by step programme.

Regular sessions

When we begin your regular exercise sessions, we will work to your personalised programme, following prescribed exercises and ensuring you understand thoroughly the why and how of what you are doing. I am with you the whole time to ensure you have good form, a thorough understanding and total confidence in the work you are doing.

I will maintain a written record of the results, session by session, so you will be able to see concrete data and evidence of the progress you are making. Many clients find themselves pleasantly surprised by the progress they make in a relatively short space of time.
