“I Didn’t Want to Give Up Strength Training, I Just Needed the Right Coaching.” - Anne, 60s

“This gym is really genuinely tailored to individual needs.”

When Your Gym Doesn’t Understand What You Need

Anne had been training elsewhere, but the experience wasn’t meeting her needs – particularly when it came to working around an issue with her back.

“The reason I decided to change was I was finding the other gym just wasn’t meeting my needs.”

She could have stopped strength training altogether. Instead, she looked for somewhere where the coaches understood how to adapt training around individual conditions and limitations.

Why One-Size-Fits-All Training Wasn’t Enough

Individualised Coaching: “This gym is really genuinely tailored to individual needs.”

Knowledgeable Coaches: “The trainers are extremely knowledgeable.”

Adaptable Training: “It works around any conditions that you have.”

Personal Attention: “They’re extremely accommodating.”

She Didn’t Have to Stop, She Needed a Better Approach

Anne recognised that simply avoiding lifting wasn’t the answer. She wanted to continue building strength, but needed coaches who could work intelligently around her individual circumstances.

“You could easily sit back and say, well, I’m not gonna train anymore. I’m not gonna do strength training or any lifting anymore. I’ll just walk because it seems safer.”

Instead, she found a gym where her training could be adapted to her needs.

COACH INSIGHT

“Anne is a great example of why coaching needs to be individual. The goal isn’t to force everyone through the same programme, it’s to understand the person in front of you and coach accordingly.”
