Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need any previous gym experience for the group sessions?
​
If you are completely new to strength training then we often find a few 1-1s with a coach very beneficial. This helps us to go through all of the basic movement patterns (deadlift, squat etc), ready for you to go into groups. This also gives us chance to assess any areas of weakness/ imbalances and make a plan to work on those going forwards.
​
If you have done some strength training before then you should be absolutely fine joining groups straight away. We have adaptions for each exercise if needed.
I have an old injury/ mobility issues, will I be ok to join?
​
Many of the ladies in our groups have old/current injures/mobility issues. Our team are on hand to make sure you have the adaptions that you need. We just ask that you make us aware of any new issues (since you filled out your medical form) before the beginning of each class.
What ages do you coach?​​
​
Our current age range is between 15 and 92!
We do not currently allow under 16s to join in our group sessions. However, we have a few under 16s in 1-1s or 2-1s.
Can I come to have a look around before I sign up?​​
​
Absolutely! We offer a free, no obligation consultation. Come in and chat to one of our coaches. We can show you around, talk through any questions you have, go through medical/ injury information and figure out the best path for you. ​​
Can I bring my child with me?​​
​
Well behaved children are always welcome at Momentum! All of our coaches have children, so we understand how difficult it can be to find childcare/ a minute to yourself.
We have toys and colouring equipment for them to enjoy. Please feel free to bring your own toys/ tablet etc if you prefer.
If you are bringing a tiny one, please feel free to bring them a bouncer/ seat to sit in. You are obviously welcome to feed/ change them at any point.​
​
Please note, whilst we love having children in house, we cannot have children running around in the main gym area. Firstly, due to safety reasons. Secondly, because we respect that some of those attending may not want their sessions overrun with children.
So far, we have never had any issues. We regularly have babies/children attending and it works perfectly.
Do you have on site parking?​​
​
There is usually ample parking all around us. The road directly outside is free for 1 hour. The roads that lead off are all unrestricted. Worst case scenario, Lidl is free for 90 minutes if you happen to need to do a quick shop too!
Do you have shower facilities?​​
​
Yes! We have two showers that you are welcome to use! Just bring yourself a towel and any hair products you need and make yourself at home.
