1-2-1s
Training programmes developed for you by our dedicated team of Fitness Instructors, tailored towards your short and long term health and fitness goals
1-2-1s are open to everyone at Holywell Fitness Centre or Powerbase, but places are limited so you will need to book! The easiest way is to book online or via the Loughborough Sport app. However, you can also book at reception or over the phone (01509 226250). You cannot book a 1-2-1 gym session until you've had an initial Programme Consultation.
To create a bespoke training programme to work towards achieving your personal goals, our Holywell consultations additionally consist of a body composition analysis and our Powerbase consultations provide a movement analysis to allow our instructors to write a comprehensive programme based on data collated.
How to start your 1-2-1 training programme:
Step 1 - book your Programme Consultation
Book your Programme Consultation on the app through the Fitness Instructors tile and select your preferred gym.
You'll be able to see the available slots listed for each of our Fitness Instructors. Please browse their bios and qualifications below to choose the Fitness Instructor most suited to your training goals. Or just book into the slot at the most suitable time as all our Instructors are great to work with!
At the Consultation, the Instructor will discuss your previous experiences, short / long term goals and any medical conditions and / or injuries that may prevent you from taking part in any specific or general exercise. With this information they can put together a fitness programme that is tailored to your individual needs and goals.
This will take approximately 20 to 30 minutes and will be delivered in the Holywell Fitness Centre foyer area so no need to be dressed in gym attire. Please report to reception 5 minutes before your scheduled booking. The Instructor will meet you here.
After this Consultation, the Instructor will put together your training programme and you will then be able to book your 1-2-1 gym sessions, on a pay as you go basis.

You will receive your training programme before the first session so you have the opportunity to prepare any questions you might have about it.
At each 1-2-1 gym session, the Instructor will go through the programme and it will last for one hour. Please be gym ready for your 1-2-1 sessions.
If you have any queries, please don't hesitate to email us at holywellfitnesscentre@lboro.ac.uk.

As a Fitness Instructor, my challenge is to help you achieve your health and wellbeing goals, whether that be to lose weight, tone up or improve your mobility, flexibility and balance.

Kev

- I really enjoy climbing, kayaking and mountain biking.
- I recently achieved my biggest sporting achievement in North Wales when I made my hardest grade in traditional climbing. I’d like to keep pushing myself, continue to develop my skills and climb even harder grades.
- I hope to carry this determination and ethos through to the clients I train and, as it does for me, help them achieve their respective goals.
- Currently I teach both Grit Cardio and Strength. I have set myself a personal goal of becoming spin qualified so I can further broaden my skills and the activities I deliver.

James
Holywell Instructor
- I love adventure and the outdoors; travelling, hiking, camping, and climbing, which means being fit, healthy and injury free is essential for my lifestyle. Therefore, the gym is an important part of that. I have key interests in resistance training, whole body functional circuits, and specific prehab mobility.
-
I take great pride in helping people of all abilities to achieve their goals, by providing specific programming, support, and accountability and I’d love to help you too.
