## Common questions
**Where does the training take place?**
All sessions run from a private setup in Cuckfield, West Sussex. It is about five minutes from Haywards Heath and ten minutes from Balcombe, with easy parking.

**I have not trained in years. Is this for me?**
Yes, and most of my clients start exactly there. Everyone begins with a movement screen and a health questionnaire, and your first sessions are built around where you actually are, not where you think you should be.

**Do you work with people over 40?**
Most of my clients are in their thirties, forties and fifties. Training in this age group needs more care with joints and recovery and it works extremely well when programmed properly.

**I am a parent with very little spare time. Is this realistic?**
That is exactly who I built this around. I train around a full time job and a family myself, so your plan is written for two or three sessions a week and designed to survive the weeks when everything goes sideways.

**How many sessions a week do I need?**
Most people do well on two or three sessions a week, plus a simple plan for the days in between. More is not automatically better if it is not sustainable.

**Do you help with nutrition too?**
Yes. Nutrition coaching is included, and it is built around how you actually eat, including eating out and travel. There are no banned foods and no meal plans you will abandon in a fortnight.

**What happens on the free consultation?**
We talk about what you want, what you have tried, and any injuries or health issues. I tell you honestly whether I can help and what it would involve. There is no obligation and no hard sell.
