Personalised exercise programmes

If you're keen to shake up your exercise routine, looking for a refresher on how to use the gym equipment or recovering from an injury, our personalised exercise programme will help you to achieve your fitness aspirations.

Firstly, you’ll meet with a SportBU instructor who’ll create your personalised exercise programme based on your fitness goals. They’ll demonstrate the exercises in your plan and the necessary gym equipment in The Training Zone, our Talbot Campus gym. Then, it’s over to you to follow your programme, whether in The Training Zone, outdoors or at home. But you can rest assured that you won’t be on your own. SportBU instructors are always on hand to help and answer any questions you may have.

Available to: BU students, staff and the local community | Price: One-off cost of £30

*While we don't require a minimum level of fitness (as our instructors will design your programme based on your current fitness level), we do recommend prior exercise experience.

Meet our personal trainers

Simon Webster: Personal Trainer

Greetings, my name is Simon Webster and I am a Personal Trainer at SportBU. I have been in the health and fitness industry for 13 years and have experienced most aspects of the industry.

Heidi Martinez: Personal Trainer

My name is Heidi, I believe in balance, no quick fixes, fitness as a lifestyle rather than a punishment!

What to expect

Our Health and Fitness Manager will meet with you to discuss your objectives and what support we can offer, before pairing you with your SportBU personal trainer.

Initially, your trainer will assess your current fitness level (through some exercises and body movements) and then use this as a way to keep track of your progress.

From here on in, each of your personal training sessions will be tailor-made for you and your fitness aims.

It won't be an easy journey; your trainer will challenge you to push yourself, both physically and mentally, as you work towards your fitness ambitions. But they'll be with you every step of the way, motivating and supporting you as your fitness goals start to become a reality.

Hear from our clients

Since starting my PT sessions, I am much more confident in using the gym and I've seen a positive difference in my strength. The sessions are well thought out and really good fun! At the point you feel like stopping, you'll be encouraged to keep going.

My PT sessions are always challenging, in the best way possible. My trainer has an almost sixth-sense for knowing how far he can push me! I am now far more confident in my fitness journey and would recommend to anyone.
