Every session
Stock photo of models, not the trainer or a client One-to-one training
A 55-minute session at the studio, planned for you alone. Tamsin sets the weights, watches each set and changes the plan as you get stronger.
- You want someone to check your technique on every lift
- You find it hard to keep going on your own
- You have a sport, a walk or an event coming up and want strength work around it
£45 a session Sample fee

Two people train side by side for 55 minutes, each with their own weights and their own notes, for one fee between you.
- You and a friend, partner or relative want to learn the same lifts
- You can both make the same weekly time
- You would like close coaching at a lower cost each
£60 for two people Sample fee

Over six one-to-one sessions you learn five movements that most strength plans are built on: the squat, the hinge, the push, the pull and the carry.
- You have never used free weights
- You want to train at a gym on your own but are not sure where to start
- You would like a fixed end date before deciding what comes next
£270 for six sessions Sample fee

You train on your own, when it suits you. Tamsin writes the plan, sees you for one 55-minute review a month and answers questions by message on weekdays.
- You already train at a gym or have kit at home
- Your week changes too much for a fixed session
- You know the basics and want a plan that moves forward

Starting out
From first message to a plan you can follow
The consultation comes first. Only after it do you decide whether to carry on.
- 01
A short consultation
40 minutes at the studio or on the phone. Bring your diary: you compare the days and times you can make with the ones Tamsin has free, and ask anything you are unsure of. There is no exercise and nothing to sign.
- 02
A health questionnaire
Before you start training you answer a short set of questions about your health. It is standard practice, not a legal requirement, and tells Tamsin what to adapt.
- 03
Your first training session
55 minutes: a warm-up, a look at how you squat, hinge, push and carry, then a first workout you could repeat.
- 04
A written log
Every session is logged on paper: the lifts, the weights and how they felt. Every six weeks you read the log together and choose the next lifts.
Bring and wear
- Water and trainers you are comfortable in
- Any medication you might need, such as an inhaler
- Clothes you can move in; there is nothing special to buy
- The studio has a changing room and a shower
If you have a heart condition, are pregnant, take medication that affects exercise or have been told to limit activity, check with your GP or midwife before you start.
FAQs
Questions about sessions
Where you train, how long it takes and what happens when plans change.
Should I get fitter before I start?
No. Tamsin sets the weights at what you can manage on the day and raises them from there.
What happens at the consultation?
It takes 40 minutes at the studio or on the phone. Tamsin asks which lifts or everyday jobs you would like to find easier, which days you could train, and whether any joint or health question needs checking first. There is no exercise, no charge and nothing to sign.
How long is a session?
Every session is 55 minutes, including the warm-up and a few minutes at the end to note what comes next.
Where do sessions take place?
Sessions happen in a small private studio, at your home or outdoors nearby. You agree where at the consultation, and can ask to change it later.
What does a session at home need?
A clear space about two metres square. Tamsin brings the kettlebells, bands and a mat. Home and outdoor sessions are within 5 miles of the studio.
What if I need to move a session?
Give 24 hours’ notice and it can move to another time you both have free, at no charge. Later than that, the session is usually charged.
Start with a short conversation
Tell Tamsin what you would like help with and when you could train. The 40-minute consultation is at the studio or on the phone. Tamsin replies within one working day. Nothing is booked until you both agree a time.
