Hi my name is Thomas Watson, I started this company prepare2lose.com because of my own personal experience and battle with health. I can’t say I regret my past because it has given me the drive and dedication to help clients reach their health & fitness goals. My approach is unique and you will not find a more hard working and genuinely passionate coach in the UK. I’m about helping you obtain the results you seek.

I have been working with clients in the fitness industry since 2001 and my philosophy is simple, and I have based it upon practical solutions, scientific research and sustainable fat loss. During my own journey through health & weight management I have created a system for results that can be personalised, tailored and delivered in a way that will empower you to reach your full potential.

Session Description:
Strength training – challenging your muscles with strength training (also called resistance training) 2 or 3 times each week is all that is needed to improve the strength and tone of your muscles – as well as gain you several long-term health benefits. Resistance workouts improve muscle and bone strength while increasing your metabolism. But like all forms of exercise, you need to undertake it on a regular basis.

Cardiovascular training – cardiovascular exercise is any sustained, rhythmic activity that involves large muscle groups. Aerobic exercise makes the lungs work harder as the body’s need for oxygen is increased. There are numerous benefits for health and general well being to be gained from regular cardiovascular exercise:

Increased energy levels
Reduced stress and improved mental health (due to the release of endorphins in the brain)
Increased heart and lung efficiency
Reduced blood pressure, resting heart rate and risk of stroke or heart attack.

My running efforts began at the age of 25 as a means to lose weight and improve fitness. In 1997 I slowly jogged my way through my first marathon and when the man in the rhino suit ran past her I felt it might be pertinent to try more focused and structured training for my next race! My times steadily improved culminating in a marathon personal best of 3:28:27. At the age of 29 I first stepped on to the track and discovered that I was more suited to running both 1 and 2 laps than a marathon. I now specialise in both the 400m and 800m and is coached by Greg Richards. At the age of 35 (2007) I became eligible to compete as a Master (or Veteran) and since that time have focused my efforts and seasons on securing medals at the World Masters and European Veterans Championships.

Session description:

As a running coach I devise goal-orientated weekly running programmes. As these are designed specifically around individual goals, fitness levels and lifestyles I am able to accommodate both a wide age range and athletic capability. Whether you want to train for your first 5k race and have little or no running experience or are already an experienced runner who wishes to improve personal best times then I can help.

Pricing:

Individual goal specific running and/or fitness programme costs£40 per week payable in advance by monthly standing order (£173.33 pcm). This programme would incorporate running sessions/steady runs, strength and conditioning and designed around the individual goal, ability and time and facilities available.
The teaching of drills would require a minimum of 8 sessions ideally 2 or 3 per week. The cost would be £50/hour. As the client becomes more adept the session times will reduce to 45 minutes then 30 minutes and the fee adjusted accordingly pro rata. Nina is happy to take groups for these sessions and this will lower the cost that each individual has to pay – please feel free to email Nina directly with the expected number of athletes in the proposed group for a quotation. Drill sessions take place at Parliament Hill athletics track (admission £3.00) – nearest train station Gospel Oak.
The teaching of the power clean would require a minimum of 6 x 45 minute sessions at a cost of £50/session. Nina has access to a gym where the cost for client is £4 admission and she would do a pick up and drop off at Finsbury Park tube station.

I have always had an interest in being active from climbing trees as a kid to competitive sports and horse-riding through school and university, even representing the University of Nottingham in women’s football. However, when I graduated and settled into an office job the client-entertaining and sedentary lifestyle took its toll and she piled on the weight.

In 2012 I took on the London Triathlon as a personal challenge and it kickstarted her into getting fit again, losing nearly 2 stone in the process. I have since continued to challenge herself physically and mentally, qualifying as a Level 3 Personal Trainer at the beginning of 2015.

I promote a balance that includes plenty of physical activity, lots of healthy and delicious food and some serious relaxation to create a lifestyle that is sustainable and realistic for everyone. I understand the personal struggles that everyone goes through in relation to their fitness and so every client receives personalised programmes and specialised attention.

Session description:

The Fitology Way is a holistic approach to health. We’re about more than just a sweaty hour once a week and eating salads because life is bigger than that. We also understand that long-term health is important, it’s not just about looking good on the beach (although that’s important too!).

I offer personal training sessions in Hackney, either 1-2-1 or in small groups of up to 4, nutritional consultations, short and long-term goal setting and event-specific training. Any challenge you’re facing, throw it at us and we can solve it together.

Qualifications:

Level 3 Personal Trainer

Years experience:

1 year

Pricing:

1 hour session – £50
½ hour session – £25
10 x 1 hour sessions in advance – £450 (10 for the price of 9)
10 x ½ hour sessions in advance – £225 (10 for the price of 9)
20 x 1 hour sessions in advance – £850 (20 for the price of 17)
20 x ½ hour sessions in advance – £425 (20 for the price of 17)

I am a professional Table Tennis star, role model and a Sky Living for Sport mentor. I play for England on the ITTF World Pro Tour circuit and during my career I have played in the French, Spanish, Belgian and German leagues and has just signed a new contract to play in Sweden.

I have been playing above his age since reaching international standard when I was 12. At the age of 14, I had his debut playing for the England Men’s Senior team at the 6 Nations. Since then, I have been in the top five in the English Senior Rankings, peaking at number two when I was 18. I am now currently sitting at number five.

Session description:

I offer group or individual table tennis coaching sessions. For adults of all abilities, I offer master classes and office ping services, where I’ll help your team to bond by supplying all of the equipment and expertise necessary for a fun-filled day of ping pong.

Coaching is not rocket science but it does require good interpersonal skills, observational skills and imagination.

Whether you’d like a one-off session or regular one-to-one training, I can develop all aspects of your game, and really maximise your playing potential.

Years experience:

9 years
