The first session should make the path clearer. You do not need to arrive prepared, fit or familiar with the gym.
Arrival at the Fitzrovia studio
Tempo operates by appointment at 1 Cavendish Mews North, with the entrance off Hallam Street. Julian meets you at the entrance and takes you into the building.
The session is one to one. Other people may be present elsewhere in the gym.
A short goal and history review
You will discuss the immediate goal, training background, schedule and relevant medical history. Julian sets short- and longer-term goals and explains what can be assessed within the time available.
If a question needs another professional, Tempo can arrange an external physiotherapist.
Movement and training start point
The physical part may include a body or functional assessment where useful, followed by a small number of exercises. The aim is to find suitable starting positions and loads.
- Explain each exercise
- Use a controlled starting effort
- Record useful observations
- Avoid unnecessary exhaustion
The next plan
Julian summarises the priorities, recommends a session format and agrees what happens next. The free consultation normally lasts 30 to 60 minutes, and enquiries receive a reply within 24 hours.
