The Start
With weight training there is somewhere that you can start, no matter your experience level. If you are a total beginner to training, or someone who is resuming training after a long layoff, it is to be expected that you might, for example, be unable to do a squat or deadlift with proper form. This is absolutely fine, and the purpose of the training sessions in such a case would be to get you to the point where you can perform these exercises properly.
Even if you are fairly advanced and think that you have been doing the exercises correctly and safely on your own, there is a world of difference between putting into practice what you have read in a book or watched in a video, and having expert instruction in person.
Once you are physically capable of the exercises using good form, you will begin training on squats, deadlifts, bench presses, overhead presses, pullups, and rowing movements, as well as variations of the lifts mentioned.
At this stage you should also select a training frequency that suits you best and do your best to stick with it. You should bear in mind that it is generally better to train twice a week for the long term than three or more days a week for a month or two.
Exceptions to this general rule would be trainees requiring a short introduction to proper exercise form, or more experienced trainees wanting to perfect their technique or who are seeking advanced programming advice, who then wish to return to training by themselves. In such cases, I will provide a recommended training frequency and duration depending on the circumstances.
At the beginning stages I will also offer you diet and nutrition advice if desired.
