Personal Training:

• What is a Personal Trainer at Global Fitness?  A Personal Trainer at Global Fitness is a fitness professional who has undergone appropriate training to understand the principles of anatomy, physiology, and exercise.  At Global Fitness we have 4 different Personal Trainers who will apply these principles in a fun and dynamic exercise session to help you achieve your personal exercise goals. 
• Why should I use a personal trainer? It could be that you need extra motivation, or you may want to improve your technique or to know what exercises are right for you.  Or you may simply want to see your results tracked and monitored.
• Am I fit enough?  Our trainers can cater each workout speficially to your fitness level.  From first timers to advanced, our trainers know what gets you results.  Why wait to get it right?
• How long does a session take and how often should I have one? You can work out with your trainers as little or as often as you like, it is entirely up to you.  Our trainers will help you fit fitness into your busy lifestyle.
• Isn't Personal Training for the elite?  Personal Training may once have been only for celebrities or supermodels but Global Fitness makes it acceptable and affordable.  At Global Fitness everybody can have their very own Personal Trainer.

Group Fitness:

• Do I need to book to attend a Group Fitness class?  You won't need to book for most classes, however there are limited spaces available.  Simply turn up to the exercise studio a few minutes before the class and either make a space for yourself in the room or wait outside if there is a class still in progress.  We recommend you stay for the entire duration of the class as the warm up and cool down tracks of any Group Fitness class is important.
• RPM  Because of the limited bikes available it is essential that you book for RPM.  If you have booked for a RPM class and cannot make it for any reason you must telephone us with reasonable notice as there is usually a waiting list for this popular class.  Unfortunately we have had to introduce a nominal fine for any "non-shows" who haven't let us know.

Your First Day:

• What should I wear?  Sportswear and trainers should be worn whenever you are exercising in the gym.  Global Fitness is proud of its non-intimidating and relaxed atmosphere so there is no need to go out and buy the latest lycra outfit!  Wear whatever style of exercise clothes you feel comfortable in.
• Do I need to be fit to start?  No, there are plenty of other beginners and people of all different shapes, sizes and fitness levels.  The gym equipment can be adjusted to whichever workload/resistance you desire and there is a variety of classes that are perfectly suited for new exercisers.  As a new member you have the opportunity to book in for a complimentary Personal Training session.
• Do I need to bring my own towel?  No one wants to use a machine that is all sweaty from the person before, so it is important that you use a towel to wipe off equipment after you have finished using it.  Towel hire is offered at reception for a nominal fee.
• How do I gain access to the club? On joining Global Fitness we will gve you your access keytag.  You need to bring this keytag with you each time you visit us and swipe in when you arrive. 
• Does someone show me how to use the gym equipment?  You may choose to take advantage of your complimentary orientation when you become a member of Global Fitness.  This is an induction and orientation to the gym where you will be shown around by a personal trainer who will explain more about your club and the basic types of equipment.  This generally takes around 30-45 minutes.  Ask reception to book a convenient time for you.
• Who can I ask if I have trouble using the equipment?  The Personal Trainers or Administrators are there to help answer your questions.  No one expects you to be an expert at using the equipment so please feel free to ask as many questions as you wish. 

Changing Rooms:

• How do I use the lockers?  Lockers are provided for the convenience of our members at no charge.  Please do not leave your belongings anywhere else in the changing room.Ask for key at reception.
• Do I need to bring in my own toiletries?  You will need to bring your shampoo/conditioner.  Shower gel is provided in the shower cubicles.  Hairdryers and irons are also provided for your convenience in the changing rooms.
