Dr Shehla

“I have been receiving personal training from Ben Hazell for the last 3 years on a weekly basis.
When I started with Ben I thought I was reasonably fit as I was already attending yoga, pilates and aerobics classes and my initial aim was just to lose about 7 pounds in weight. However, through Ben’s expert guidance and bespoke training sessions, my eyes have been opened to new types of exercise in order to get fit and strong. I have started to do exercises I never thought I would be able to do as a 50 something year old woman!”

Amy

“Ben Hazell started off as my athletics coach at school and has ended up as my full time
Olympic Weightlifting coach for the last 18 months. He saw potential in me for a sport
that I’d never heard of let alone considered competing in, and through his dedication and
skill it has quickly become a fundamental part of my life.”

Q&A

How often should I visit the gym?

It’s not always about frequency but consistency. As long as you are consistent with your training you will make progress.

If you have time and enjoy training you could have anything up to 10-12 sessions included in a structured programme. However, a minimum of two sessions would be ideal if you would like to have an impact on your desired goals.

Should I have a really strict diet?

No, you do not need a strict diet. As long as you have a varied diet and you are consistent
with your exercise plan, one shouldn’t need to worry too much about their diet (unless there are any underlying problems).

If you are training particularly hard then your recovery foods are essential for you to maintain your training programme.
