Premium support isn’t about waiting for you to struggle; it’s about anticipating challenges before they happen. That starts from day one, during your consultation. A trainer who offers genuine support will take the time to deeply understand your habits, lifestyle, and potential blockers. They won’t just hand you a standardised plan – they’ll tailor their approach to ensure you’re set up for long-term success. It’s also about tailoring how they communicate with you, to get the best from you.

One key factor of great support? Quality over quantity. A trainer who takes on too many clients simply doesn’t have the bandwidth to provide this level of detail. Instead of spreading themselves thin, a premium trainer limits their client list so they can dedicate the time and attention needed to truly know you and your needs.

In reality, a lot of what you’re paying for with a personal training package is, or should be, the support. Real change sadly doesn’t happen from just one hour of training a week; that’s only 0.6% of your week… let that sink in! The support helps you navigate the other 99.4% – the moments when you’re making decisions about food, activity levels, and habits that determine your success. It’s during this time that a high level of support ensures you’re staying on track, overcoming obstacles, and maintaining discipline.

Many trainers provide cookie-cutter guidance, often directing clients to generic apps or pre-written advice. While there’s nothing wrong with self-education, true learning happens when information is researched for your situation. My approach focuses on structured learning – helping clients understand the ‘why’ behind certain training and nutrition choices, so they can make informed decisions that last a lifetime.

Rather than spending a significant chunk of my time creating generic content for the masses on social media, I channel my energy into crafting well-researched, personalised advice and resources for my clients. Every piece of advice I offer is based on their specific needs, struggles, and goals… not on fleeting trends.

Here’s how my hands-on, personalised approach makes a real difference:

• Navigating social situations: One client has a packed social calendar and eats out frequently. Instead of leaving them to guess, I help them plan ahead. We review restaurant menus together to find choices that align with their goals, still allowing them to enjoy their nights out.
• Problem solving nutrition struggles: A client increasing their protein intake for the first time found themselves feeling constipated. After reviewing their habits, we pinpointed a lack of fibre and hydration as the culprits. With a few small tweaks, the issue was resolved.
• Providing specially designed lessons, tools and activities: These ensure clients learn impactful, lifelong lessons so their success lasts way beyond our time working together.
• Refining form for better results: Another client was struggling with certain exercises. Because I tailor programmes and follow up consistently, I caught issues with their technique early. A small adjustment to their positioning led to an instant improvement in their lifts and eliminated discomfort.
• Adapting training for medical conditions: I take considerable time to research clients’ health conditions to ensure their training is safe and effective. For example, I wouldn’t train someone with arthritis in the knees the same way I would someone who is overweight but has no joint issues. Thoughtful modifications are essential.
• Going the extra mile to help a client succeed: A client mentioned they loved boxing, so I invested in boxing gear and learned from an expert, so I could incorporate it into their training. Not only does this make workouts more enjoyable, but it also ensures they’re getting effective cardio in a way that excites them.

The truth is, premium support isn’t just about answering questions, it’s about knowing you well enough to anticipate them. It’s about a level of care, attention, and expertise that generic plans and high-volume trainers simply can’t offer.

When you invest in high-quality personal training, you’re not just paying for workouts. You’re paying for a tailored, proactive, and educational experience that ensures lasting results. If that sounds like the kind of support you need, let’s talk about how I can help you achieve your goals.

The post 1 hour of exercise is just 0.6% of your week… what about the other 99.4%? appeared first on Fitness by Georgia.

One of my wonderful clients is a really good example of that; I’ll call her A.

A is extremely busy, working a stressful senior level job in central London, only working from home once or twice a week. She travels a fair amount for work and she is a mum of a young child. All of this is what led her to contact me… she already weightlifts and loves it, but with strictly one hour for lunch, she barely finds the time to fit it in. If she does, by the time she discounts travel time there and back, plus time to eat and shower, she only has about 25 minutes to actually train. She told me she runs around like a ‘headless chicken’ and clock watches to move onto the next set quickly.

Of course, this experience wasn’t helping her stay consistent as the gym was proving a stressful affair. To top it off? Her gym is incredibly busy, so often she just used what equipment she could and stuck to what movements she knew and enjoyed. She lacked proper guidance and routine.

Fundamentally, she knew she needed advanced programming to stimulate progressive overload, accountability and the convenience I provide by bringing the gym to her. That’s why she signed up with Fitness by Georgia.

She was keen to try and get back to the weights she was lifting pre-baby, which she felt was ambitious but she wanted to give these a go. I thought this was a great goal!

I worked hard on creating her an appropriate in-gym programme. This meant:

• Taking into account how much time she actually has to train
• Factoring in that she can’t always go as much as she’d like, so there aren’t too many days scheduled (making it unrealistic) and sometimes has to skip a session
• For every 1st option exercise, I provided two other alternative exercises that use different equipment in case what we want to do as first choice is taken
• Pushing her out of her comfort zone, incorporating exercises that were perhaps new to her or she’d only ever done different versions.

I designed our in person sessions to be challenging and a solid foundational workout, so even if she didn’t get to the gym at all one week, she’d still have had an impactful session with me. As A likes change, I switch the routine up once a month to keep things fresh, but I employ techniques to keep the movements tough, even for A’s level of strength!

“I love training with Georgia. She has taken my strength training to another level and really adapted her programming to suit my busy life. I’ve achieved things I didn’t think possible, all thanks to her perfect mix of honesty, accountability, and empathy. Also, if you ever need a motivational pep talk thrown in the mix, she’s the trainer for you!”

Now, just 2 months into us working together, she has hit the highest deadlift and leg press weights she ever has! The weights she has reached far exceeded what she thought she was capable of which was an absolutely wonderful moment to share with her. Just a few weeks before, she had a moment of doubt, wondering if she was being too ambitious in aiming for her pre-baby weights. I’m so glad she didn’t let that wobble get to her too much, and instead, harnessed that energy.

Consistency, smart training, and accountability helped A build her strength and exceed her own expectations. With new milestones already smashed, I can’t wait to see what the next three months bring for A!

Does some of this sound familiar to you? Do you resonate with A’s challenges and her situation? Do you wish you could see real results and get stronger and fitter, without the stress? Get in touch today to see how I can help you.
