Before you start your personal training programme with one of our friendly trainers, we invite you to a free 30 minute consultation at one of our centres. At the consultation, we will discuss what your motivations are and what you would like to achieve.

You can then arrange your one hour sessions to fit around your lifestyle.

Our personal training services are only available to our ourChelmsford card holders and monthly members.
