1-2-1s
Training programmes developed for you by our dedicated team of Fitness Coaches, tailored towards your short and long term health and fitness goals
1-2-1s are open to everyone at Holywell Fitness Centre or Powerbase, but places are limited so you will need to book! The easiest way is to book online or via the Loughborough Sport app. However, you can also book at reception or over the phone (01509 226250). You cannot book a 1-2-1 gym session until you've had an initial Programme Consultation.
To create a bespoke training programme to work towards achieving your personal goals, our Holywell consultations additionally consist of a body composition analysis and our Powerbase consultations provide a movement analysis to allow our coaches to write a comprehensive programme based on data collated.
How to start your 1-2-1 training programme:
Step 1 - book your Programme Consultation
Book your Programme Consultation on the app through the Fitness Coaches tile and select your preferred gym.
You'll be able to see the available slots listed for each Fitness Coach. Please browse their bios and qualifications below to choose the Fitness Coach most suited to your training goals. Or just book into the slot at the most suitable time as all our Coaches are great to work with!
At the Consultation, the Fitness Coach will discuss your previous experiences, short / long term goals and any medical conditions and / or injuries that may prevent you from taking part in any specific or general exercise. With this information they can put together a fitness programme that is tailored to your individual needs and goals.
This will take approximately 20 to 30 minutes and will be delivered in the Holywell Fitness Centre foyer area so no need to be dressed in gym attire. Please report to reception 5 minutes before your scheduled booking. The Fitness Coach will meet you here.
After this Consultation, the Fitness Coach will put together your training programme and you will then be able to book your 1-2-1 gym sessions, on a pay as you go basis.

At each 1-2-1 gym session, the Fitness Coach will go through the programme and it will last for one hour. Please be gym ready for your 1-2-1 sessions.
If you have any queries, please don't hesitate to email us at holywellfitnesscentre@lboro.ac.uk.
