What Our Customers Say
FAQ
Got questions? Here are a few that tend to pop up. If you’d like any more details, contact us and fire away!
What happens after I get in touch?
We’ll send you further details of the packages available and arrange a time for you to meet one of our team with a suitable skill set. We offer a complimentary planning session which involves a discussion around your goals, a tour of our home here in Newcastle and an opportunity for you and your coach to come up with a plan of action.
Can I use the gym on my own in-between my sessions with my coach?
We’re afraid not. We want to offer the most effective training possible and this means limiting the number of people working out in our facility at any one time so you don’t have to wait to get on equipment. If you want to top up your aerobic fitness alongside your one to one training we offer group training or we can also offer programming to be completed alongside working with your coach.
Can I eat cheat foods?
Yes. Any diet if it is to be effective needs to be sustainable and if having the occasional treat helps you stay on track for longer then we would see that as a positive. It’s important that you get the nutrient dense foods into your diet first, A highly nutritious, balanced diet with the occasional treat works!
I’ve got a pre-existing injury, can I still join up?
YES. But to be safe we ask that you provide full details of your pre-existing injury, we’ll then run through an assessment and in some cases we may refer you to our physio partners before we plan your program and get started. We will only charge you once we start training you however an assessment with our physio partners is chargeable.
I do shift work, is this programme suitable for my lifestyle?
Yes, we’ve worked with a lot of shift workers and find that there is plenty of opportunity to train and eat.
What sports or events do you cater for?
We have a large team all with different experiences in different areas. We start with a needs analysis which involves a consultation with you and a range of assessments and from here we build a program specific to you the demands of your sport. So, in short, we can prepare you for almost any sport or event. The best thing to do is to arrange a call or a short meeting with a member of our team, if we are the best fit we’ll arrange a time to get started, and if not we will likely be able to point you in the right direction.
How strict is the diet?
Your goals and the timeframe you want to reach them in will dictate how strict you need to be. We have seen that if you take on 90% of your calories and above from food sources with a high nutrient density you can have 10% of your calories from whatever you like without affecting your results.
Does anybody ever mess up with their nutrition?
Yes all the time! A key factor whilst working with us is honesty both between you and your coach and also with yourself. One of the best things we can offer you is accountability. We don’t tell people off for messing up because it’s our job to help you find out why you go off track and offer our experience and advice to find a solution.
Do I need to have any experience with lifting weights?
No none. We coach absolute beginners to become level ninja through learning the fundamentals really, really well.
How often do I need to train each week?
Once we have met we will have a much more informed idea of how often you need to train. This is part of the coaching process, more training isn’t always the answer for our clients. It is about finding a balance where you can progress effectively week on week. It is usually between 2 to 5 times per week. Depending on your preferences, hobbies and budget. We can also offer advice and programming for sessions not performed in our gym.
I am over (insert age) can I still train and see results?
Yes. Because we provide a completely individualised program Storm is for anyone who wants to improve their health and is willing to change.
What age range can train with Storm’s strength and conditioning coaches?
For youngsters, the ability to concentrate and follow instructions limits the age we would accept young athletes. We have trained athletes from 10 years old and our coaches are DBS checked. For older adults anybody of any age or ability can work with us because your program is written specifically for you and builds on your current abilities.
