    Initial Consultation Form

     

    What to expect?

    You will need to fill in an Initial Consultation/Pre-Exercise Consent Form before we begin. This is available on the following link: click here. You will be asked to fill out personal information and other health and exercise related questions. You may feel that some of this information is not relevant to exercise, but this information will give your practitioner a better understanding of your overall state of health, especially as you will be put through some physical tests. Your EP will help you to understand and to set some exercise goals i.e. lose weight, improve lean muscle mass or improve fitness etc. Once we have all this information, your EP will perform some physical tests to get a better understanding of you level of physical fitness so they will know on what areas to focus your exercise program. You will be required to perform some physical exercises a relatively intense level, so please bring a change of exercise clothes, towel and water bottle, for your own comfort. After the first session, your EP will prepare an exercise program specifically designed with your goals in minds. You will run through this program on your second visit so we can ensure that the program and prescribed exercises are being performed correctly. At this point we may suggest a few supervised sessions to help you familiarise yourself with your program, or if you do not have the basic exercise equipment on hand. If you feel confident to perform your exercise program individually at home or gym, then we would still recommend at least 1 follow up session a month to;
    1. review and re-assess you
    2. monitor your improvements and
    3. make sure you are on track to reaching your goals.
