Why a 1:1 Session Could Be the Most Supportive Thing You Do This Year
Group sessions are wonderful. They bring energy, connection and momentum. But there’s smething uniquely pwerful about a 1:1 session– time that is just for you, your body, and what you need right now.
Whether you think of it as a personal training session, a 1:1 movement session, or simply dedicated support, these sessions often become the quiet foundation that makes everything else work better.
A chance to pause and look ahead
The start of a new year naturally invites reflection. In a 1:1 session, we can gently explore what you’re hoping for in the months ahead– without pressure of unrealistic expectations.
That might be:
• Moving with more confidence
• Rebuilding strength after illness or surgery
• Easing pain or stiffness
• Improving balance or breathing
• Or simply feeling more at home in your body again
From there, we can set realistic goals– and just as importantly, mini goals. Small, achievable steps that keep you moving forward and remind you that progress doesen’t have to be dramatic to be meaningful.
Working towards your “something”
Most people have something they’re quietly aiming for.
It might be:
• Walking further without fatigue
• Feeling steadier on your feet
• Getting back to a class you love
• Building enough confidence to try something new
• Educating yourself about how you can support your body best
A 1:1 session gives us a space to name that “something” and work towards it in a way that feels safe, supportive and tailored– not rushed or generic.
Technique matters more than you think
One of the biggest benefitsos a 1:1 session is the opportunity to look closely at how you move.
Small adjustments to:
• Posture
• Breathing
• Alignment
• Pacing
can make a huge difference– not just to how exercises feel, but how effective and enjoyable they are.
This often means:
• less strain
• fewer flare-ups
• more confidence
• better results in group sessions
Think of it as fine tuning your movement so your body works with you, not against you.
Making space for injuries, conditions and life history
Bodies carry stories.
Old injuries, surgery, cancer treatment, joint changes, fatigue, stress– they all matter. In a group setting, there isn’t always time to fully explore these nuances. In a 1:1 session, there is.
Together we can:
• adapt movements to suit your body
• work around injuries safely
• build strength where you need it most
• and respect where you are today, not where you “think” you should be
This personalised approach often makes group sessions feel safer, stronger and more empowering.
Making your group sessions even more powerful
Many people are surprised by how much a single 1:1 session can transform their experience in classes.
You’ll leave knowing:
• what to focus on
• What to modify
• When to rest
• and how to get the most from each session
It’s not about doing more, or what you did last year– it’s about doing what is right for you now.
An investment in confidence, not perfection
A 1:1 session is about understanding your body better, you setting goals that I can help you move towards with clarity.
For some people, one session is enough to reset and refocus. For others, ongoing 1:1 support becomes a steady anchor alongside group work.
Either way, it’s an investment in:
• confidence
• safety
• progress
• and long-term welbeing
