what is personal direction?

Cimg0267_2

Personal direction is the term used to describe a supervised session with Kym.

Kym noticed in many conventional personal training sessions that although his clients wanted him to help, motivate, direct and guide them, (providing them the detail of what to do), they didn't necessarily need him to be with them throughout the whole session, nor indeed often for many sessions.   

He therefore developed the concept of pt4all and personal direction so as to provide the benefits of personal training without the cost.

Personal direction sessions replace conventional personal training sessions. To see what you'll do in a personal direction session click on this link.

Personal direction allows Kym to guide and oversee your session and program without you having his exclusive attention.

It's not 1:1 necessarily, although at times it may be, but at most times there'll be others doing personal direction sessions simultaneously.

Personal direction allows you to "share" Kym's time, and therefore share the cost, making training with him a more economical method.

pt4all provides the benefits of personal training without the cost.

I'm running late for a personal direction session

We all run late at some stage. Often it's due to circumstances beyond our control.

The more notice you allow Kym, the more options you have. Please call as SMS often take some time to arrive (can be up to hours later).

The onus is on you to keep Kym informed as you may be able to complete or re-schedule your personal direction appointment. There are some conditions as outlined below:

Should you call any time up to your scheduled appointment time you will be permitted to reschedule your appointment to another time in the same session*.

  • If you are more than 5 minutes late to your rescheduled time it is understood that you have forfeited the session. Your program will be available for you to follow, but you will not be entitled to start or reschedule your personal direction session for that day.

Should you call any time up to your scheduled appointment time you may be permitted to reschedule your appointment to another session on that day provided no more than 5 other people have already scheduled an appointment within the new session.

Should you call any time up to 15 minutes past your scheduled appointment time you will be permitted to reschedule your appointment to another time in the same session*.

  • If you are more than 5 minutes late to your rescheduled time it is understood that you have forfeited the session. Your program will be available for you to follow, but you will not be entitled to start or reschedule your personal direction session that day.

Should you call more than 15 minutes after the start of your scheduled appointment it is understood that you have forfeited the session.

  • Your program will be available for you to follow, but you will not be entitled to start or reschedule your personal direction session that day.

Should you be more than 15 minutes late (without notice) to your scheduled appointment it is understood that you have forfeited the session.

  • Your program will be available for you to follow, but you will not be entitled to start or reschedule your personal direction session that day.

Only clients who are financial will be provided with personal direction (training)

  • current clients who are non-financial will be provided with their program only until they have made their monthly payment
  • any credit card, cash or cheque payments to be made on the day are to be completed prior to commencing any personal direction session

Personal direction sessions are limited to the time allocated to the session in which the appointment is made. e.g. A personal direction session in the early morning session is limited to between 9.30am-11.00am.

  • Where the personal direction exceeds the time allocated for a session, either encroaching into a different session, into a scheduled break or past 8.00pm your program will be made available for you to follow, but the personal direction component will cease.
  • Should you wish to start your session before your scheduled appointment time, your program will be made available for you to follow, but the personal direction component will not commence until scheduled or until the session in which it is made has commenced, whichever is the earlier.

Personal direction sessions are under normal circumstances limited to 5 participants

If you are running late or need to re-schedule your session on the day, conditions apply.
