Frequently asked questions
how much does personal training cost?
The cost of a one-to-one personal training package varies depending if it’s at the gym or if it’s a home visit, also the time of day you would like to train, session frequency, and your total package length.
As a result, each training package is designed bespoke for each client. However, I reward loyalty by offering a discount on large packages.

how long does personal training last?
Personal training sessions vary between locations but, generally speaking, each session lasts between 60-90 minutes.
how many times a week should i train with my personal trainer?
How frequently you train completely depends on your lifestyle, budget and preferences. However, most of my clients train two to four times per week, allowing us to maximise progression, with effective recovery between sessions.
will i be advised on diet and supplements during my training?
Yes, Jack Christie PT will build you a bespoke nutrition and supplement plan that carefully considers your lifestyle, your goal and your preferences. The plan is designed to provide the maximum return on your investment. The 2-4 hours you spend with your trainer is only a small part of the story. The remaining 160 hours in the week are just as important - your nutrition is a fundamental pillar of your results.
Jack Christie will work with you to create a tailored calorie and macronutrient guide, specifically for your body composition and goal. I place a very high emphasis on the importance of high-quality, nutrient-dense foods, such as lean meats, certain fruits, lots of green fibrous vegetables and healthy fats like avocado and extra virgin olive oil. Not only does this approach maximise the health benefits of your body transformation, but it also helps to ensure that you are satiated, fully energised and ready to take on any new challenges.
Jack Christie will also provide professional ongoing support to make the personal training plan work for you. This may include problem-solving to help you plan for social events and travel. While supplements should not form the basis of your diet, they are invaluable for plugging gaps in your nutrition, which may become more apparent during a fat-loss phase.
What does a typical training session with jack christie involve?
During your first session, Jack Christie will run through a 90-minute consultation, which involves a body composition assessment, followed by a gym-floor movement screening.
This provides vital information that your personal trainer, Jack Christie, will use to develop your unique training and nutrition plan. Once the program is underway, each session involves a brief review of your progress before getting stuck into a challenging training session that is tailored specifically to your goal and ability.
We don’t waste your investment in me by watching you warm up on a treadmill or spending half of your session stretching. We make use of every single minute, focusing on key movements that utilise resistance training to provide very powerful body composition results.
do i really need a personal trainer?
If you’re serious about making an investment into your long-term health and fitness, yes. Jack Christie isn’t just there to trade time on the gym floor for money; he take your results personally and leaves no stone unturned to help you achieve them.
That is what makes an elite level Personal Trainer indispensable, if you’re committed to making significant and sustainable lifestyle changes. Just like you’d hire an architect to design a house and a builder to build it, a professional Personal Trainer is there to be a trusted advisor for your health and fitness. Sometimes that will involve telling you what you need to hear, rather than what you would like to hear.
Rest assured that Jack Christie PT has the knowledge and experience to perform every exercise safely, effectively and to push you to achieve the result you really want. Personal training with Jack Christie is not a quick-fix, it’s a long-term commitment to your health and wellbeing, that will provide you with power and knowledge for life.
why is personal training important?
Strength training is a skill, and like any skill, it requires time, patience and the correct knowledge to get it right. Each exercise has a specific skill component and, while you could attempt to learn without guidance, it’s far more safe and time-effective to learn how to execute each movement properly from the start by woking with an expert and professional PT.
Investing in Jack Christie PT is your opportunity to leverage my professional coaching and expertise and take a short-cut to results that would require years of trial and error to achieve on your own, if any at all. Not only that, I have the knowledge and experience to deliver the correct level of intensity, based on your abilities, while providing an elite training experience that pushes you to the edge of your comfort zone.
It’s important to note that research shows having a support network and a level of accountability is critical for success in achieving health and fitness goals. As a professional, I provide the tools to do this, which simply will not be matched if you train alone.
How long will i need to train with a personal trainer?
While some clients choose to train for the duration of their initial goal, it’s not unusual for clients to continue training with Jack Christie PT as a long-term commitment to their health and fitness.
Although quick-results are great and very achievable, this is a business that focusses on optimising long-term health, fitness and feeling good. Every client that chooses to make a long-term investment in Jack Christie PT does so because they feel the value of the continued progression, accountability and ongoing support to maintain their results and feel their best.
Clients appreciate the support and return on investment they receive, which simply cannot be rivalled when training elsewhere in Epsom, Surrey.
