PHYSIQAL is a one-on-one personal training business based at City Fitness, on Marshland Road in Shirley, Christchurch. The trainer, who has worked as a personal trainer since 2015, offers personalised training plans for weight loss, muscle gain and general health, and also coaches online and through home workouts. The website says a first visit to the gym is a complimentary session, and a call can be booked to talk through goals and experience before starting. Sessions can be adapted around past injuries, and rehabilitation plans are part of the work.
Clients describe a first-time gym user in their fifties who was nervous at first, and who has since built confidence. Another says their strength and results have improved over six months. Someone rehabilitating a shoulder says the trainer built a plan that helped them recover fully. Others describe training for a trail race and building strength for it, and a client who gained muscle and strength over six months. Customers say the trainer is knowledgeable, patient, friendly and explains exercises clearly. The listing shows one other personal trainer within one kilometre, Doctrine of Fitness, 0.1 km away. For someone at City Fitness who wants a trainer who adapts sessions to injuries or to a goal such as a race, the one-on-one approach is the main focus.
