The consult is a fifteen-minute phone call with a coach. You say what you are trying to do, the coach asks a few questions, and you come away with a straight recommendation about whether personal training fits, 1-on-1 or semi-private, including, sometimes, the recommendation that it does not yet. There is no workout, no fitness test, no card and no obligation.
Book it below and a coach will phone you back.

What happens in the fifteen minutes
- A coach calls you. At the time you picked on the form, or we agree one by email if you had no preference. No app, no video link, nothing to prepare.
- We ask what you are trying to do. Goals, training history, injuries worth working around, and the honest shape of your week.
- We recommend a program. 1-on-1 or semi-private personal training, with the reasoning, not just the answer.
- You ask anything. Pricing, scheduling, what a first session involves, how progress gets tracked. This is the part most people wish they had used more of.
Then the call ends. If you want to book a first session on the spot you can, and if you want to think about it, that is the expected outcome rather than a failure.
What we will ask you
Four questions do most of the work, and it helps to have thought about them before the phone rings.
- What would make this worth it? A number, a feeling, an event, or simply not restarting again in January. All valid answers.
- What has your training looked like recently? Including "nothing for six years", which is one of the most common answers we hear.
- What does your body currently object to? Old injuries, cranky knees, a back that has opinions. This changes programming, not eligibility.
- Which hours can you genuinely defend? The best program in the world loses to a schedule you cannot keep.
None of this is a screening process. It is how a coach avoids recommending the wrong thing.
What you come away with
A program recommendation and a realistic first week. That is the deliverable, and you get it whether or not you sign up for anything.
You also get a name to ask for when you do come in, which for a lot of people matters more than any feature comparison. If you want to see the room before you decide, photos and directions are on Our Space, and the door is open during studio hours. If the walking-in part is the hard part, getting through a first visit is worth a read first.
What you decide, and when
Nothing on the call. You come away with a program recommendation and the membership or package options explained in plain terms. Book when you are ready, on the Coresa app.

Common questions
Is the consult actually free, or is it a sales call?
Free, and fifteen minutes. It is a sales conversation in the sense that we would like you to train here, and an honest one in the sense that recommending the wrong program produces a member who leaves in six weeks. If a format does not suit you, we will say so.
Do I need to be fit before I book?
No, and the instinct to get in shape first is the single most common reason people delay for years. Starting untrained gives a coach more useful information, not less. The longer answer is here.
Can my partner or a friend join the call?
Yes. Put us on speaker. Plenty of people decide better together, and if you are considering training as a pair it is easier to plan that on one call. Training as a couple covers how that usually works out.
What if I would rather just book a class?
Then do that instead. Everything bookable is on the Coresa app, and judging the coaching from inside a real session is a perfectly good alternative to a consult.
How soon will you call?
Quickly. The form goes straight to the team, and we call at the time you asked for or reach out to agree one.
Can I see the studio instead?
Yes, during open hours, and there is a full photo tour on Our Space. The call is the fastest way to work out which format fits; a visit is for the feel of the place.
