Personal Training
Lisa Sayers is an ACSM certified exercise physiologist/personal trainer, corrective holistic exercise kinesiologist and Pilates instructor specialising in post-rehabilitation from back pain, injury, disease and surgery. Other specialisms include strength training, pre and post-natal, children and seniors fitness where Lisa is able to offer bespoke one to one or small group personal training services. She strongly believes that controlled, targeted physical movement has the potential to transform many conditions but the starting place is with you and since you have come as far as looking for a personal trainer, I am sure that you have some goals in mind. My approach is to discuss these goals at the outset so that whatever follows can help address your specific needs and goals in a targeted way.
The next step is to map your goals against your existing physical condition and needs. To do this I will carry out a comprehensive examination to assess:
Body composition-skinfold and girth measurements to find out how much body fat/lean muscle mass you carry (if you have weight loss goals)
Postural alignment
Core function and stability
Flexibility
Muscular strength and endurance
Kinetic chain function analysis (seeing how your body moves as a whole) and identifying dysfunction and pain syndromes
Full medical, diet and lifestyle history
Heart fitness assessment via a graded exercise test
Baselines photographs/videos (to help monitor improvements)
Health risk assessment and any possible referral to any health care professional required
Using the information obtained from the assessment we can together set out goals which may require any of the following:
Corrective exercise
Muscular balancing
Core stabilisation training
Corrective flexibility
Kinetic chain rebalancing (retraining your body to move well)
Fundamentals of strength training
Functional strength training e.g. dumbbell, cable, resistance band or body weight exercises
Power, speed, agility, and balance training
Endurance training – this could include spinning, running, rowing, elliptical etc.
Dietary and lifestyle modification.
