PERSONAL TRAINING
Fed up with aches and pains or feeling stressed and tired all the time? Want to increase your energy levels and feel fitter, stronger and healthier but lack motivation to do exercise? Or are you someone who already does some exercise but you want to start challenging yourself more and really develop your strength and power? If any of these sound 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 athletes then think again. All kinds of people, at all different levels of fitness, use personal training because it keeps them motivated, focused and gets results.
At Flexion Health & Fitness we are committed to helping you transform the way you move, eat and feel about yourself. We want to empower you to develop sustainable healthy habits, build your confidence and reach your goals, whatever they may be. Our individually tailored personal one to one training sessions, at our private gym in Norton, Stockton-On-Tees (just off the High Street), allow you to develop your fitness under expert guidance from a qualified female trainer.
At the initial free consultation we will identify your goals, (whether they be fat loss, muscle gain, functional fitness or strength and conditioning) and assess your current health and fitness levels. It’s a great chance for us to get to know each other and for you to decide if I am the right person to help you on your fitness journey. Personal training is a team sport, your success is my success!
We will then develop a training plan which will allow you to get the most out of your workouts and the results you want. We will change up the programme on a regular basis to keep it fun, focused and exciting, using fitness and physical assessments to monitor progress.
If weight loss is your main goal then addressing what you eat is vital, so we will equip you with a personalised macro based eating guide (this is not a meal plan!). If you want to take things a little further then we also offer face to face 1-1 or online nutrition coaching to help keep you on track (see nutrition coaching section for prices).
Should you need a bit of added motivation then you can sign up for our buddy up sessions and work out with a friend or partner.
We offer both face to face and online personal training options.

SMALL GROUP TRAINING – online only at present
If you prefer to improve your fitness in a group environment, but have been too self-conscious to join a big gym, then why not come along to our small friendly group sessions?
It doesn’t matter what age, size or level of fitness you are we can tailor the workouts to your ability. Alongside like-minded members we will help you become stronger, fitter and more confident, whilst also having fun.
What we teach is functional fitness, by that we mean we will get you moving your whole body well, build strength, increase your cardio capacity and develop your mobility and flexibility.
These small groups offer a much more personalised approach than big classes and allow us to help you to track your progress and develop new skills.
We offer two group options SWEAT and FUTURE PROOF FITNESS for those over 60. Of course if you are a fit over 60 something then you are free to join either class.
Class times available:
SWEAT Tuesday 9.30-10.30am Sunday 7-8pm
FUTURE PROOF FITNESS Monday 2-3pm
Should you wish to set up a daytime class (Monday-Wednesday) with a group of friends then do contact us to discuss options.
If you don’t live close to our studio gym, or prefer to workout from home, then we also offer live coached online HOMEFIT body weight classes on a Monday (7-8pm) or Wednesday (7.30-8.30pm) evening.

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

NUTRITION COACHING
So, what exactly is nutrition coaching and how can it help me I hear you ask? Good question. Well nutrition coaching mixes the science of nutrition with the psychology of behaviour change to help you transform your mindset, body and health. It helps you recognise your sticking points and work on solutions to overcome them. Nutrition coaching is about helping you feel happy and confident in your own skin.
We use a structured approach to empower you to see your own potential for change, allowing you to reach your goals and get life-changing results. Nutrition coaching is not just about what you put in your mouth, we will also delve into other aspects of your lifestyle to examine why you may eat in a particular way, struggle with energy or find it difficult to lose weight. Sometimes behaviour changes in other aspects of your life can have a big impact on how you feel and function. Consistency is key and change is incremental and can often be slow, new behaviours take practice, but once you get the hang of them they can last a lifetime. And because support and accountability are a vital part of helping you stay on-track we will be there by your side every step of the way.
You don’t change ingrained behaviours overnight, as you will know if you have spent years trying lots of different diets and meal plans, because when it comes to nutrition there is no such thing as a quick fix!
1-1 nutrition coaching
This option will be delivered via a mixture of regular face to face meetings (either in person or via video conferencing) and check-ins throughout the week or bi-weekly. We will be available to answer questions and offer support when needed. You will also receive a free personalised macro-based eating plan (this is not a meal plan) which will be updated on a regular basis to help you reach your goals.
| Nutrition coaching only (4 hours/month face to face) | £120/month |
| Nutrition coaching (4 hours/month face to face) when combined with personal training package | £100/month |
| Nutrition coaching only (2 hours/month face to face) | £70/month |
| Nutrition coaching (2 hours/month face to face) when combined with personal training package | £60/month |
Online nutrition coaching programme
This option will be delivered through a fantastic online programme which offers daily accountability, progress trackers and helps you build the knowledge and skills you need to make lasting changes. Alongside the programme I will also be your coach providing support and encouragement.
| 6 months (£50/month)
12 months (£40/month) |
£300
£480 |
Money back guarantee
We are so confident our 12 month online nutrition coaching programme will get you in the best shape of your life that if you stick with it for a full year and follow our recommendations and don’t get what you’re looking for at the end of the programme, we will give you a full refund.
You get to decide if the program was worth it. Why do we do this? Because we stand by its effectiveness. I know you’ll be healthier and happier at the end the 12 months. All you have to do is take the first step.

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 that sense of achievement when you drop a clothes size, get a personal best or find you can do things you never dreamt of.
Instruction is given at our private studio in Norton, Stockton-On-Tees by Karen Lobo-Morell who is a personal trainer and nutrition coach and 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.

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 four years focusing on my 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. At the age of 48 I am now the fittest I have ever been so I like to encourage clients to never let age stand in their way.
