Is Personal Training For Me?
Let’s talk Personal Training. So, you’ve seen the Instagram posts, read the fitness blogs, maybe even tried a few workouts yourself, but you’re still wondering—is personal training for me? The short answer: probably. The longer answer? Well, let’s break it down.
Personal Training = Personalised goals
We all have different goals when it comes to fitness. Some of us want to lose weight, some want to build muscle, and others just want to feel fitter and healthier in general. But here’s the thing—fitness is not a one-size-fits-all approach. That’s where personal training steps in.
At Tribe London – CrossFit Shepherd’s Bush, personal training is all about you—your goals, your fitness level, your lifestyle. Whether you’re a total beginner with CrossFit (or who’s never set foot in a gym!) or someone who’s been smashing workouts for years but has hit a plateau, personal training gives you the structure and support to move forward. It’s not just about going through the motions; it’s about working towards something that’s uniquely yours.

Overcome the Plateaux
Here’s a scenario: you’ve been doing the same workouts for months but don’t see any real progress. You’re tired, frustrated, and probably wondering why you’re even bothering. A personal trainer will fix that. We look at where you are right now, what’s working (or not), and where you want to be. Then, we build a plan that’s not just a cookie-cutter workout but a personalised roadmap to get you from A to B as efficiently as possible.
One of the things we hear all the time is, “I just don’t know what I’m doing in the gym.” And that’s fair! Walking into a gym full of equipment and machines you’ve never used can be intimidating. A personal trainer eliminates that uncertainty. At Tribe London, we teach you proper form and technique so you don’t just avoid injury—you make sure every rep counts. Plus, we switch things up to keep it interesting because, let’s face it, nobody wants to be bored doing the same thing over and over again.
Custom Session Times
And for those of you with hectic schedules, we get it. That’s why our personal training sessions are flexible to fit around your day, not the other way around. Whether you’ve got a 6am slot before work or need a late evening session to blow off steam, we’ll make it work. Because if fitness isn’t fitting into your life, it’s not going to last. We’re here to help you build something sustainable.
Motivation & Support
Still not sure? Let’s talk motivation. We all hit those days when getting to the gym feels like climbing a mountain, even if it’s just down the road. With a personal trainer by your side, that extra push is always there. Whether it’s a high-five for crushing a goal or a nudge when you’re slacking off, our trainers keep you accountable and fired up to keep moving forward.
So, is personal training for you? If you want a plan that actually works, support from experts who know what they’re doing, and the kind of motivation that keeps you on track long-term, then the answer is yes. It’s about making your fitness journey personal, achievable, and, most importantly, enjoyable.
