Costs, options and what affects them

What the First Assessment Costs and Covers

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, based on your assessment, 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.

What happens at your assessment

  1. We talk through your goals, history and any concerns
  2. We screen a few basic movements to see where you are
  3. We flag anything that needs medical clearance first
  4. We recommend a starting point, frequency and setting
  5. You decide on next steps, with no obligation to book

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the assessment free?+

It is charged at a low rate rather than free, because it is real professional time and a genuine plan. If you continue with a block, we usually credit the fee into it, so committed clients effectively pay very little for it.

Am I obliged to buy sessions after the assessment?+

Not at all. Many people do an assessment to get insight and a plan, then decide. There is no obligation to continue, and no pressure. You leave with something useful either way.

Why can't we just skip to training?+

Because a plan without an assessment is guesswork. The screen tells us your level, flags any limitation, and makes your first session safe and specific. Skipping it risks wasted effort or injury, which costs far more than the small assessment fee.

What if the assessment finds a problem?+

If something needs a doctor or physio first, we tell you plainly and point you there before we train. We coach fitness, not medicine. Finding that early is exactly why the assessment is worth doing.

Why KinesioFitness

Assessment-Led Coaching

Assessment-led coaching means we test before we prescribe. Before your first real workout we screen how you move, what you can lift, your history and your schedule, then build a plan on facts, not a template. It is the single biggest reason our clients progress safely.

Personal Training

Your First Session

Your first session is an assessment plus a gentle introductory workout, not a fitness test you can fail. We take your history and goals, check how you move, and coach a light first workout so you leave knowing what to expect and how to prepare for the next one.

Beginner Fitness Assessment

A beginner fitness assessment is a gentle first session where we map where you are starting from, movement, strength, stamina and goals. No fitness is needed to take it. It sets a safe, realistic starting point, not a diagnosis, and turns "I don't know where to begin" into a clear first plan.

Safety & Screening

Before you lift anything heavy, we screen you: a health-history questionnaire, a movement check, and a look at any conditions or medications that affect training. If we spot a red flag, we get you cleared by a doctor first. Good screening is why serious injuries in our sessions are so rare.

Functional Fitness

Functional fitness trains your body for the things you actually do, carrying shopping up to the condo, picking a child off the floor, twisting to reach the back seat. We build strength, stability and mobility in real movement patterns, not isolated machine work, so daily life gets easier.

Assessments

Fitness vs Clinical Assessment

A fitness assessment sets a safe starting point for training, mapping strength, stamina and movement. A clinical assessment diagnoses injuries and medical conditions, and only qualified healthcare professionals do that. We do the first, never the second, and refer you on the moment something needs a doctor or physio.
