What to Expect From Your First PT Session at Soma Fitness

Nervous About Starting Personal Training? You’re Not Alone.

We get it. Walking into a new gym or starting with a personal trainer for the first time can feel daunting especially if you haven’t trained in a while or don’t know what to expect.

At Soma Fitness in Hale, we work with everyday people busy professionals, parents, men and women who just want to feel fitter, stronger, and more confident again.

And we make sure your first session is welcoming, professional, and tailored to you.

Let’s walk you through exactly what happens when you step through our doors.

Step 1: A Warm Welcome at Our Private Studio in Hale

We’re based on Hale Road in Altrincham, and unlike a commercial gym, our studio is private, quiet, and focused no queues, no egos, no distractions.

When you arrive, you’ll meet your coach and we’ll take a few minutes to get to know you.
No pressure. No awkward introductions. Just a relaxed start so we can learn more about you and your goals.

Step 2: A Quick Chat About You, Your Goals & Lifestyle

Before we touch any weights, we’ll have a sit-down chat about:

• Your training history (if any)

• Your specific goals (fat loss, muscle, performance, energy, etc.)

• Any injuries or movement limitations

• Your lifestyle, stress levels, and time availability

• What success would actually look like for you

We’ll use this information to build a plan that fits your body and your life.

Step 3: A Simple, Effective Movement Assessment

Don’t worry this isn’t a test.

We’ll guide you through a few basic movements to check:

• Your posture and mobility

• How your body moves (any compensations, imbalances, or restrictions)

• Your baseline strength, coordination, and control

This helps us personalise your programme, keep you safe, and make every rep count moving forward.

Step 4: A Taste of What Training Will Feel Like

Depending on your experience and comfort level, we’ll run through a light intro session so you get a feel for:

• The equipment and layout

• How we coach technique

• The pace and flow of sessions

• What to expect week to week

You’ll leave feeling clear, confident, and ready not crushed or overwhelmed.

---

Step 5: A Clear Plan Forward

Before you go, we’ll talk through:

• Your recommended plan (how often to train, what we’ll focus on)

• What to expect in the first few weeks

• How we’ll measure progress (not just weight)

• Next steps whether you want to get started straight away or take a few days to decide

There’s no hard sell just honest advice, a professional experience, and a coaching team that genuinely wants to help you succeed.
