A blanket approach WON’T cut it!

A tailor-made training plan created and monitored by a professional personal trainer delivered through an easy to use online platform.

Yes, if you participate in a training plan that is tailor-made with your goals in mind, professionally supervised and progressive.

Yes.  Save time and get better results faster.  Avoid one size fits all fitness apps that can cause you to plateau and possibly regress.  I help my clients establish lifelong wellness habits and set SMART goals by creating fluid yet goal-orientated online programmes tailored specifically to your needs and goals.  I take a holistic view also designing programmes that reduce stress, increase energy levels and generally promote mental wellness.  For example I may include particular exercises which release a large number of endorphins for a client experiencing depression or include strength and conditioning exercises for a client at risk of developing an occupational injury.  Every situation varies and my extensive experience and expertise aides me in providing you with an effective and goal-orientated session every time.

A good personal trainer will…

EDUCATE and guide you in learning the correct technique, increasing efficiency and avoiding injury

MOTIVATE and keep you accountable adhering to your programme moving closer to your goals.

CHALLENGE you to continually improve and progress

EMPOWER you to reach your potential

You have access to me, my experience and expertise.  This is NOT a cookie cutter service.  My online personal training programmes are tailored to your needs, your goals and to avoid injury.  You are NOT left to your own devices.  The online platform has the functionality to record your exercise history and compare week to week progress.  You can provide feedback, upload your records and ask me questions every session.  Even if you don’t correspond with me I monitor your progress to your accountability and workouts can be edited along the way if necessary.  Every four to six weeks your training schedule is reprogrammed to avoid plateauing and regression.

Choosing the right trainer for you is a very important decision.  Firstly, check what qualifications and experience the trainer has.  Reaching your goals is likely to happen and happen faster if your trainer truly understands your situation and goals.  You share personal details with your trainer such as your health history, personal circumstances, motivations and goals.  They will also be assessing your body so choose someone you feel comfortable sharing with and who understands and respects your values.  Consider recommendations from friends, family and previous client reviews.

It may be tempting to choose someone who charges less however, when you have a quality relationship with your trainer and they have proven experience and expertise you are likely to spend less overall to get the results you want and to see those results sooner.

Before committing to a programme, I offer a free phone or zoom consultation so we can learn about each other and I can understand more about you and your goals.  Call me on 0273 398 398, text or email mail@stevebuckley.co.nz to arrange a time.

No.  My programmes can remain highly effective yet exclude equipment altogether.  As my programmes are tailor-made you specify what equipment (if any) you would like to utilise.  My programmes can include minimal equipment (bands, dumbells etc) or a fully equipped gym.  Occasionally and depending on your goals there may be instances where I recommend the use of specific equipment.

Initially we will have a phone/zoom consultation so I can understand more about you and your goals.  If your situation is complex or you would prefer to meet in person this can be arranged as an alternative.  Using this information I then build your training plan which is both personalized and progresses towards achieving your goals.

Depending on your level of confidence you can choose to have a one on one session with me to demonstrate various exercises and how to use the online platform.  Alternatively, you can choose to have a Zoom meeting.

You will have a training plan to follow that is presented weekly and created with your lifestyle in mind.  Every exercise links to a video demonstration.  I am notified every time you complete a training session and you are also given the opportunity to provide feedback every session.  The platform has the ability to record and track your exercise history.  If something isn’t working for you or you experience a change in routine for example I can offer a variation or alternative for you.

Each week I will assess your progress and together we can decide on whether you need to adjust your programme.

Every four to six weeks your goals will be reassessed and I will recreate a new programme for you.

NB: For the elite athlete world class testing services are available on request to track and compare your progress (link to performance testing page)
