Our One to One Coaching allows us to give you all the attention you need.
With one to one coaching you get a very personalised and thorough training session. Personal plans can be drawn up and monitored with much greater accuracy as the coach gets to know YOU a lot better. During the sessions you are a lot more likely to push yourself, as it’s just you and the coach. Feedback and advice is continuous and immediate.

It is often said that the Irish are the most generous when it comes to charity. I remember after Live Aid, Bob Geldof live on the TV news excitedly saying how "the Irish are actually beating the English in terms of donations per capita" to the famine stricken of Africa.

Little did she think that just over 3 years later she would be running the full 42km Manchester Marathon. Only competitive with herself, Jill followed a personalised Maurice Looby Fitness training plan, and ran the race in a very impressive 3.28 - on her first attempt at the distance! Here follows an endearingly honest Q&A with Jill, charting her running journey...
According to The Oxford Dictionary of Sports Science and Medicine, there are 5 health related components of physical fitness: Body Composition Cardiovascular Fitness Flexibility Muscular Endurance (Absolute/maximal) Strength.
For most people, running a marathon will be the most demanding physical experience of their life. For many people, building up to running a 5k will be a huge achievement that requires a lot of self discipline, perseverance, organisation, and PLANNING! Running is a great metaphor for life. You get out of it what you put into it.
