What the First Assessment Costs and Covers
In short
The first assessment is charged at a low rate and is often credited into your first block if you continue. It covers a movement screen, a chat about your history and goals, and a clear starting plan. It exists so training is built on facts about your body, not guesswork, with no obligation to sign on.
Everything good starts with the assessment, which is why we do not skip it or hide its cost. It is charged at a deliberately low rate, and if you go on to book a block we usually credit it in, so it effectively costs little for those who continue. Even if you do not continue, you leave with real insight into your body and a plan you can use, it is never wasted money.
The assessment is not a sales meeting dressed up as a screening. It is genuine information-gathering: how you move, what your history includes, what your goal really is, and what a safe, effective starting point looks like. Without it, any plan is guesswork. With it, your very first session is already tailored to you. And there is zero obligation to book anything afterwards.
What the assessment includes
- A movement screen to see how your body works now
- A chat about your history, injuries and lifestyle
- Clarifying your real goal and a realistic timeline
- A clear recommendation for where and how to start
Why it is charged low and often credited
We keep the assessment affordable so cost is never a barrier to starting properly. If you continue with a block, we typically credit the assessment fee into it, so committed clients effectively get it for very little. It is priced to be accessible, not to be a profit centre, its job is to make your training work.
Why we will not skip it
Starting training without an assessment is like a tailor sewing without measurements. We would be guessing at your level, ignoring an old injury we did not know about, or pushing too hard or too soft. The assessment is what makes your first real session safe and specific. Any trainer who skips straight to selling sessions is cutting a corner that matters.
