Personal Training
Fed up with aches and pains or feeling stressed and tired? Want to increase your energy levels and feel fitter, 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.

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

LADIES, IT’S TIME TO START A MENOPAUSE MOVEMENT.
Everyday nutrition workshops
Warning – This workshop could seriously improve your health & wellbeing!
Weight gain, a lack of energy, poor sleep, chronic illness and a multitude of drugs are not inevitable as we age. What we eat has a powerful role to play in how we feel, but ‘quick-fix’ diets are not the answer either.
What if we told you that a sustainable approach to healthy eating is not as difficult as you may think, that a little knowledge goes a long way and can revolutionise your eating habits and literally change your life?
This one day nutrition course, delivered by a registered nutritional therapist, presents easy to understand advice to help YOU make better informed decisions about what you eat and how it can affect your health.
Healthy cooking demonstrations will give you new ideas for meal times and the takeaway recipes and one month meal planner will inspire you to prepare fresh food that will nourish your body and help you regain strength, vitality and a sense of wellness.
The small group setting provides plenty of time for questions and allows us to tailor some of the information to your specific concerns. Costing £72 per person the day includes a delicious nutritious lunch.
Next course – Saturday 12 October 2019 9.30am-4pm.
All workshops are run by Melissa Smith, a Registered Nutritional Therapist, and are held at Flexion Fitness in Ash Vale.

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.
Instruction is given by Karen Lobo-Morell and Ruth Bowers, both qualified personal trainers. Karen is also also able to work with clients who have specific medical conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, depression and anxiety, arthritis and osteoporosis.

I love working out and keeping fit and healthy and doing this job means I get to share my passion and encourage others to live a healthier lifestyle, get in shape and feel great about themselves. Previously a runner and cardio queen I have spent the last few years doing CrossFit training and now love nothing more than lifting heavy weights and developing my strength and gymnastics skills. I enjoy meeting new people and like to think I am friendly and approachable. I get a buzz out of watching clients develop not only their skills and strength but also their confidence, it’s never too late to start exercising and the benefits to your physical and mental health are undeniable.

I have always had a passion for fitness, which peaked during my time living in Tanzania. I have run numerous marathons around the world and since become a keen participant in CrossFit. Since returning to the UK I decided it was time to take it to next level. I want to share my drive for fitness and a healthy lifestyle with others and becoming a personal trainer seemed like a great way to do this. No matter what your goal, whether it is to improve your fitness, strength or lose weight, I can help keep you motivated and achieve the desired changes. Despite your age or lifestyle there is always room to grow and I love to show clients that anything is possible.
