Can you advise on diet and nutrition ?

If I need to cancel a session what will happen ?
In order not to lose your session please try and cancel in advance (Ie over 24 hours prior to session), I'm aware that life throws up some challenges from time to time so I'll do my best to move your session to another date/time to accomodate you.
I have a bit of pain in my back, will this be a problem ?
No we will take this in to account, Any heavy lifting will be off the menu until full fitness resumes. Regular functional movement and stretching will help improve core strength and strengthen your back and over time will improve strength and mobility.
