Your first visit
Which door, where to park, what to bring.
Everything people ask before their first session, so the only thing left to do is turn up.
Finding us: Spectrum House, G81 2DR
Spectrum House, 1A North Avenue, Clydebank Business Park, G81 2DR. It is the business park beside Singer station: five minutes' walk from the station, ten from Clyde Shopping Centre, and straight off the A814 if you are driving. Free parking right outside the building.
Open in Google Maps, or what3words ///pretty.needed.chill for the exact door. If you get stuck, WhatsApp Stevie and he'll come and get you.
What to bring
- Trainers you can move in, and clothes you can sweat in. Nothing fancy.
- A bottle of water. There is a tap, but bring one.
- A towel if you like one. Optional.
- Two minutes before you come: the health questionnaire. It sends Stevie one message and saves the first ten minutes of the consult.
- Nothing else. No forms in advance, no card, no membership number.
What happens in your first session
- Five minutes with Stevie. What you are training for, anything sore or injured, how long since you last trained. Honest answers help.
- Warm-up with the class. Everyone does the same warm-up. Nobody is watching you.
- The session, scaled to you. Same movements as the gym, your weights, your pace. Stevie coaches technique in every session.
- Done in fifty minutes. You will be tired, not broken. Most people book the next one before they leave.
Insured and first-aid trained. Public liability and professional indemnity insurance are in place and the first-aid certificate is current. Boring, and exactly what you want from the person coaching you with a bad back or a heart that has not been asked to work in years.
Things people worry about
- "I'm too unfit." Everyone in the gym started at their first session too. Classes are scaled, and Personal Training slots exist if you want to build up first.
- "I don't know the exercises." That is Stevie's job, not yours.
- "What if I can't keep up?" You rest when you need to. Nobody has ever been shouted at for taking a breather.
- "Do I have to bring the kids?" Kids are welcome at one-to-one Personal Training sessions. For classes, best without.
Driving in? Where you park, and why it is free.
