FAQs

KBPT founder Kate has pulled together 30 of the most commonly asked questions we get from clients – everything from how our personal training works, to what happens if your trainer goes on holiday. If your question isn’t answered here, just get in touch, we’re always happy to help.

We start with a free online consultation with Kate, KBPT’s founder, where we talk through your goals, fitness background, availability and any injuries or lifestyle factors. From there, we pair you with one of our brilliant female personal trainers near you. You’ll then begin a bespoke personal training programme that fits your schedule and needs, at home, online or outdoors.

We’re a limited company with a team of qualified, insured and reliable trainers. If your trainer is ill or away, we provide cover. We also have clear processes in place and a set of service guarantees to make sure your training runs smoothly and professionally.

  • Your KBPT trainer will be on time
  • Your sessions will be positive me-time
  • If you follow our programme, you will feel more confident, strong and empowered
  • We schedule your PT sessions in advance to fit into your diary
  • If a KBPT trainer cancels within 24 hours, you’ll get a free PT session
  • You will like your KBPT trainer, or we’ll find you an alternative

We offer a free consultation where we chat about your goals, exercise history, lifestyle and schedule. From there, we’ll match you with a trainer who has relevant experience and is based in your area.

We can usually get you started within 24 to 48 hours after your initial consultation, or we can arrange a start date that suits your schedule. Just let us know what works best for you.

All KBPT trainers are Level 3 qualified in personal training, which includes anatomy, physiology and programme design. Many of our trainers also hold additional certifications for example pre/post-natal fitness, menopause training or cancer recovery.

The biggest benefit is convenience. Your KBPT trainer comes to you, at home, a local park or online. There’s no commute, no gym bag and no wasted time. Some clients even have a bath ready to jump into post-session! It’s a highly time-efficient and effective way to train.

We work in all green spaces across North and East London, including large parks, mini parks, gardens and squares. If there’s a local park near you that you’d like to train in, let us know, we’re flexible and happy to meet you where’s most convenient.

No, your trainer brings everything to you, including: weights, resistance bands, boxing gloves and more. If you’d like your own kit for between sessions, we’ll advise on what suits your goals and space.

Yes, you can. We’re partnered with Gympods, a private PT studio space in Dalston. It’s perfect if you prefer to train indoors but don’t want the crowds or atmosphere of a public gym. It’s fully equipped, clean.

You’ll stay more accountable, have a tailored plan that suits your lifestyle and goals, and you’ll see better results faster. In fact, research shows that people with personal trainers are 60% more likely to stick to their training for longer than 6 months.

Yes, all KBPT trainers are female. Our team is friendly, professional and experienced in working with women at every stage of life, fitness level and background.

No, we don’t take before and after photos unless you ask us to. If you’d like to track progress that way, that’s totally up to you. We’ll support you in whatever way motivates you best. We also suggest tracking your fitness results, how your clothes fit and how you feel if that works for you.

Everyone is different, but during your first session we’ll do a full assessment and give you a realistic idea of what to expect. Progress depends on consistency, effort, and other lifestyle factors, but we’ll keep you on track every step of the way.

That really depends on your goals. Some clients train with us for a few months, while others have been with KBPT for 15 years! We’ll work with you for as long as you need, short-term or long-term and help you stay motivated throughout.

Once you’ve been matched with your trainer, you’ll book your sessions directly with her. We’re happy to book in advance to make sure your training slots fit easily into your routine.

Yes, we’ll help you build a full routine. That might include writing you a workout plan, recommending active recovery, increasing your step count, or helping with weekly structure, all based on your goals and availability.

Yes, we’re used to working with a wide range of dietary requirements, including veganism. Some of our KBPT trainers are vegan themselves. We’ll give you personalised nutrition support, from tracking macros to recipe ideas that align with your goals and lifestyle.

With personal training, everything is tailored to you, your body, goals and schedule. In a fitness class, the trainer has to focus on the whole group. With KBPT, you get one-to-one attention, a personalised plan and ongoing support.

Yes, many of our clients have health conditions. We’ll adapt your training to suit your needs and, if necessary, we’re happy to work alongside your GP or consultant to make sure it’s safe and effective.

If you’re injured outside of training and have a physio or doctor’s note, we’ll pause your sessions until you’re ready to start again. Your sessions won’t be lost, we’ll resume when you’re able to train safely.

Yes, we’re very used to working with mums. If you’re training at home, your baby can be nearby. If you’re in a park, your baby can nap in a pram next to you. We don’t allow babies on the grass due to dogs, but we’ll help you find the best setup.

We plan ahead so there’s no disruption to your schedule. If your regular trainer is away, we’ll arrange for another KBPT trainer to step in, someone with a similar approach and style. You’ll always be informed in advance.

Yes! We love when clients bring their favourite tunes. You can use your own speaker or we’ll bring one along. Music can really boost motivation and make sessions even more enjoyable.

Just let your trainer know, she’ll wait for you. We understand life happens. If you need to reschedule, we offer a 24-hour cancellation policy.

No problem, we live in the UK, so we’re used to it! We can switch your session to online or indoors at your home. If you prefer, we also offer PT sessions at Gympods in Dalston, a private, indoor PT studio.

Yes, we do. Online training is a great option if you’re short on time, live outside our in-person areas, or just prefer the flexibility. Sessions are still fully tailored, live and interactive.
