5. How Many Sessions Will I Need?

The number of sessions required to achieve results will differ greatly from person to person. The longer you have been living an unhealthy lifestyle the more help you may need. Also, it is imperative to understand that we use a coaching model and achieving results requires you to make the necessary lifestyle changes. The more successful you are in making the changes, the less help you will need.

As an example if you decide to use the 4 Star Results Programme, you will receive 20 hours of our expertise in the first 6 months.

6. Am I covered under medical insurance?

No. The C.H.E.K and BodyTalk systems are so cutting edge the insurance industry is yet to catch up. What we have discovered amongst some medically qualified Practitioners is that clients who pay privately for their appointments achieve better results than those who have medical insurance.

This is believed to be due to higher levels of programme adherence and responsibility taken by the client.

Some clients have previously decided to use their medical insurance and not achieved satisfactory results. Then 6 months down the line they have returned to us having not progressed feeling very frustrated at the time lost.

7. What are your opening hours?

We see clients from 9am-7pm Monday to Friday

Initial Consultation & ‘Results’ Programme Answers:

1. What's included in The Initial Consultation?

We will establish your goals and outline your current condition and challenges. You will be shown a report on 28 different organ, endocrine and other bodily systems and the level of balance in each system. Once your goals and challenges have been fully understood, the best options for you will be presented and potential referrals to other professionals if appropriate. You will then decide what actions to take to achieve your desired results and a plan will be devised.

2. Who are the Initial Consultations suitable for?

Initial Consultations are suitable for those who are ready to make a serious commitment to their health. They are also suitable for those who wish to find out why there current efforts are failing, what is causing their current problems and what they can do to achieve their goals.

3. Where can I have an Initial Consultation?

In our private studio in Central London.

4. What are ‘Results’ Programmes?

Results Programmes include thorough assessments, analysis, coaching and reviews on all the necessary areas required for your success. Coaching often includes help on exercise, dietary, motivational and other lifestyle factors and BodyTalk™ sessions. You are supported all the way throughout the length of your programme. To ensure your success we also advise on appropriate referrals to other allied health professionals. The correct ‘Results’ Programme for you will be decided based on your current condition and resources available. You receive a handbook with your exercise, nutrition and lifestyle guidelines to follow whilst on the programme. Exercise programmes are also recorded onto DVD for you to take away. This enables you to remember how to perform your workout perfectly when you exercise without our supervision.

5. What Guarantees can you give?

If you follow our recommendations to the letter, you are very likely to achieve the agreed results set out in your initial consultation. If not, we’ll give you your money back.

We do not deal in quick fixes, therefore realistic goals are set. Most clients achieve their ideal goals within 6 months to 2 years depending on their initial condition and adherence to the programme.

6. I can’t get to London often, does this matter?

No. We have a number of clients from all over the U.K. and even some from outside the U.K.

It is recommended to have the initial appointment and any physical assessments face to face. However, follow up coaching can be done over the telephone and via email.

As we use a coaching approach, it is not necessary to have multiple regular visits.

7. What do I have to wear?

When having a C.H.E.K assessment and receiving an exercise programme, men are required to wear ‘running style shorts’ and women are to wear a ‘crop style top’ and a ‘pair of short leggings.’ This is so we can fully assess your posture, spine, joint stability, abdominal muscles and lower limb joints.

8. Why are the ‘Results’ Programmes 6 months in length?

We will only work with those who are serious about their health and fitness. Our most successful clients have worked with us for at least 6 months. Experience has shown us that results normally take at least 6 months of sensible lifestyle change. Quick-fix solutions tend not to last and are quite often detrimental to your long term health.

9. How much does it cost?

10. What's included in each Results Programme?

The Foundation Programme includes 2 Metabolic Typing Tests and 6 hours of assessments and nutrition & lifestyle coaching and unlimited email support over the 6 months.

This is often used for serious injuries and health concerns, elite sports people or those who need more individual one to one support.

3. What Guarantees can you give?

We do not deal in quick fixes. I tell the participants that the programme really begins once the 8 weeks are completed. Most clients achieve their ideal goals within 6 months to 2 years depending on their initial condition and adherence to the programme.

4. Why is the “Take Control” Programme 8 Weeks in length?

Eight weeks is enough time to learn the lifestyle changes needed to make and to teach the myths surrounding optimal health and performance. It also allows enough time to make small changes each week so by the end of the 8 weeks attendees are leading a much healthier lifestyle and will have noticed some health improvements. At the end of the programme the lifestyle changes will have become part of their everyday routine.

Programmes are arranged as and when required by organisations. At least 2 months notice is required to schedule a programme.
