Personal Training
Fed up with being overweight? Feeling stressed and tired? Want to increase your energy levels and feel stronger and healthier but lack motivation to do exercise? If this sounds like you then why not call us and give our personal training service a go?
If you have never tried personal training before and just thought it was for the super fit then think again. All kinds of people use personal training because it keeps them motivated, focused and most importantly gets results.
Flexion Fitness provide individually tailored personal one to one training sessions at our private, modern studio gym in Ash Vale.
At the initial free consultation we will discuss your goals, assess your current health and fitness levels and create a training schedule and nutritional advice which will allow you to get the most out of your workout and the results you want.
Personal training sessions will help you to become fitter, stronger and healthier and we will change up the programme on a regular basis to keep it focused, fun and exciting, using fitness and physical assessments to monitor progress.
If weight loss is your main goal then nutrition is vital, so we will help you to make healthier food choices to ensure changes are effective and sustainable.
Should you need a bit of added motivation why not sign up for our buddy up sessions and work out with a friend or partner.
Small Group Training
If you prefer to improve your fitness in a group environment but have been too self-conscious to join a gym then why not come along to one of our small, friendly classes? Call us now to try a class for free.
Flexion Fitness offer small group training sessions for between four and six people at our studio gym in Ash Vale. We run one hour full body circuits and half hour High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) sessions, offering a more personalised approach than large classes. All sessions are block booked and often very busy so contact us to discuss availability or keep an eye on our Facebook page as spaces are advertised there. If you are available during the daytime and wish to set up a class with a group of friends then do contact us to discuss options. We also offer bespoke suspended movement and Kettlebell training sessions for two people.

Nordic Walking
Originally developed from the summer training regime of cross-country skiers Nordic Walking uses specially designed poles to enhance your natural walking experience, allowing the activity to become a full body exercise.
The addition of the poles engages the core and upper body and as you ‘push off’ they propel you forward faster, allowing your body to work harder but with less perceived effort.
It is ideal for people of all ages and fitness levels and anyone recovering from injury, as well as pre and post natal women. You can make the work out as easy or as hard as you wish by increasing speed, tackling more challenging terrain or adding in additional exercises en route.
What are the benefits?
Apart from getting you out in the fresh air and enjoying the beautiful local countryside, Nordic Walking has a number of health and fitness benefits:
- It engages 90% of all your muscles when done correctly
- It can burn up to 46% more calories than ordinary walking
- It is gentle on joints, helps improve posture and strengthens your back and abdominal muscles
- If you take part in high impact sports it is ideal for active recovery
- Helps reduce stress, tension in the neck and shoulders and improves mental health
- It is fun and sociable

About us
At Flexion Fitness we believe fitness should be fun as well as keeping you healthy and feeling great, no matter what your age. We offer a range of options for those with a gym phobia to individuals who work out on a regular basis, whether you are looking to lose weight, increase your strength, flexibility or stamina, train for a sporting challenge event or just feel fitter and healthier.
We all know that we should exercise and eat well to stay healthy, but we also have a multitude of excuses not to. But, when you look at the health risks of inactivity and a poor diet, the argument to get up, get active and take better care of yourself becomes more compelling.
And yes sometimes it might be hard work, but think of the sense of achievement when you drop a clothes size, run a personal best or someone tells you how great you look.
All instruction is given by Karen Lobo-Morell, a personal trainer who is qualified to work with clients who have specific medical conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, depression and anxiety, arthritis and osteoporosis.

After having spent more than a decade in the corporate world, doing the daily commute into London and sitting at a desk for eight hours a day I know how difficult it is to find time to fit exercise in around a demanding job and home life. I love meeting new people and like to think I am friendly and approachable. Fitness has always been a passion of mine so I decided to ditch the commute and focus on something I love, encouraging others to live a healthier lifestyle, get in shape and feel great about themselves.
Call us to book a 1-1 personal training, buddy up, or small group training session at our private, modern studio in Ash Vale.
