This short but important article is written with the intention to inspire you and educate you on perhaps why you or someone you love would benefit from a well-designed resistance exercise regime, and to be honest, everyone can!

This will appeal to a range of readers. The healthy skeptic, those who fear weight training is dangerous or ‘not for them’, those who still believe the misleading advice that if nothing else, cardiovascular training trumps for health, weight loss and longevity. Or perhaps you already resistance train and reap the benefits of such a practice. With any luck, this will enlighten you and deepen your awareness of why to continue and the benefits you might not have known.

How To Choose A Great Personal Trainer That You’ll Love Working With

June 20, 2018 By ashley Leave a Comment

I don’t know if you’ve noticed this but personal trainers are EVERYWHERE these days especially around here in North Finchley. Everyone is a personal trainer! What used to be a service for the rich and famous is now virtually a commodity.

Personal training is one of the easiest qualifications to get your hands on so, the mere fact that someone is a personal trainer doesn’t necessarily mean they will be any good.

Having been in the industry for over 10 years I know how to sift out the good from the bad and even spot the occasional gold nugget in the form of a great trainer. The things I look for when looking for a great trainer may not be the things you’d expect. I’ll tell you everything right now.

Thinking About Joining A Gym? Here’s A Few Tips If You Want To Get Fitter

March 28, 2018 By ashley Leave a Comment

Over the years I’ve had many people speak to me about improving their health or fitness. One of the common themes is that they want to change their health and get fit but they have no clue where to start.

It’s totally understandable that many people can be putt off going to a gym for any number of reasons; the meatheads making loud grunting noises while admiring themselves in the mirror, the obnoxious guy hogging a machine whilst on the phone, or the young barbies making more effort taking selfies than breaking a sweat.

To be honest this stuff annoys the hell out of me too, and if I was unsure about what I was doing, I probably wouldn’t go either.

I’d like to start by wishing you a very Happy New Year from us here at Precision Wellbeing and I’d also like to just say Thank You for being a part of us in some way, whether you came for a one off treatment or you’re one of our regulars.

Thank you, we appreciate you.

However, what we don’t appreciate, (and I’m sure you’ll agree with me on this one) is the amount of weight we’ve put on over the Festive period!

Did you enjoy yourself a little bit too much too?

Maybe you’re now on a health kick to get yourself back in shape?

Well if you are, then read on because I have some valuable tips for you.

Why Does Personal Training Get You Better Results?

July 27, 2016 By ashley Leave a Comment

Back when I started out as a trainer I worked in a Virgin Active (which I absolutely loved by the way) where I got to meet all sorts of different people, body shapes and a wide variety of fitness related goals. Everyone was there for one reason or another, but ultimately everyone was there to better themselves.

What became clear to me eventually though was that everyone wanted to be better (fitter, slimmer, stronger, more toned etc) but very few people were prepared to actually do what they needed to do to achieve those goals.

What do I mean by this? [Read more…] about Why Does Personal Training Get You Better Results?

Is A Good Personal Trainer Worth It?

April 20, 2016 By ashley Leave a Comment

It seems every other person these days is a personal trainer.

To qualify as a personal trainer is easy and to be honest the quality of the material a student has to learn is pretty poor and much of it is incorrect.

Qualifying as a personal trainer is a bit like learning to drive; you learn enough to pass and then you learn through experience once you start training clients.

Having been involved in personal training and gyms I have seen all sorts of trainers, a few great ones, some good ones but the majority are just rubbish.

Let me tell you about a trainer I used to work with. [Read more…] about Is A Good Personal Trainer Worth It?

I went to see Ashley with a bad back that left me unable to run, train or even walk properly. His help and treatments have very quickly got me back to normal and he's given me a lot of great advice and guidance for maintaining my fitness long term. I've met a few of the team there and everyone is very friendly, welcoming and professional. It's a great setup and I couldn't recommend him more highly.

Really enjoyed training with Ashley – I'd barely set foot inside a gym before but over 6-8 weeks he taught me a variety of exercises for the whole body and gave me the confidence to train on my own, as well as offering nutritional advice and helping me work to improve a knee problem. Everyone at Precision Wellbeing is friendly and welcoming too, and it's a really nice space to exercise in. Thanks!

Could not recommend the services offered by Precision Wellbeing Group more; I read some of the other great reviews on here before booking an appointment, and if anything the service I received exceeded my expectations. I saw Ashley for an initial consultation and then several follow-up sessions for muscle pain in my back; I was able to book my first consultation same day, and was able to book flexibly around my work schedule for all subsequent appointments. Ashley was extremely professional and highly knowledgeable, with a friendly conversational manner that helped to put me at ease at a time when I was suffering from quite a lot of pain. From the first appointment I noticed an improvement, but I was also impressed by how thorough the assessment and follow-up process was; it really helped me to feel more relaxed and reassured about my recovery. I've really noticed how both the treatment/exercises during sessions and recommendations for home have helped significantly with my back. I also feel skilled up with the exercises and recommendations I need to build my strength up and avoid re-injury moving forward. Overall, a great service that I would recommend to anyone.

Highly recommend. Michael has been absolutely superb. I have been seeing him due to a prolapsed disc and sciatica down my left leg. I have seen many back specialists in the past and have to say Michael is up there with the best. Very learned, very educated and informative and a pleasure to be around

I couldn't turn my head left or right for 2 weeks. One session with Ashley and my mobility is back, I understand where the issue originated and what postural/habit changes I need to make. I'm sending all my friends to him - thank you!
