Gym Induction

Before you exercise in the studio or gym, you will need to complete a complimentary gym induction with one of our fitness team.

This is a 30-minute long session, where one of our personal trainers will go through how to effectively use each piece of equipment in the gym. We would recommend you wear fitness attire to this appointment so that you can try out the machines. The session will also include how to use the MyWellness app and the Technogym hub to book classes and how to view your profile.

Bespoke Training Programme

After you’ve had your Body MOT, we would recommend you book in for your complimentary 60-minute Bespoke training programme.

This is an hour-long session where one of our personal trainers will discuss goals and lifestyles, in order to design a training programme for you to follow yourself in the gym. A credit has been applied to your account which is valid for 6 months from the start of your membership.

Training Assessment

After you have worked out for a few months, or if you would like a new programme designed for you at any stage, we would recommend you book in for a training assessment.

This is an hour-long session where one of our personal trainers will assess your progress and design a new training programme for you to follow yourself in the gym.

Body MOT at the Herb House

As a Club member, you are not entitled to a complimentary Body MOT session. However, if you would like to book one, we would thoroughly recommend this after your gym induction.

What is it?

The Body MOT is an in-depth, general health and fitness check carried out by a Personal Trainer who can support you with advice and guidance. Your MOT will identify opportunities to improve your overall health and wellbeing by giving you the personalised advice you need to become healthier and fitter.

Packages and prices:

Bronze MOT - £81 for a 60-minute basic Body MOT to include:

• BMI (Body Mass index)
• Body Composition (Body Fat)
• Resting heart rate
• Waist to hip ratio
• Blood Pressure
• Peak Flow
• Grip Strength
• Aerobic fitness assessment (your cardiovascular fitness)
• Current eating habits

Gold Body MOT - £108 for 90-minute Full Body MOT

Our Full Body MOT – to include all measurements outlined above plus Functional movement screening (posture and flexibility) – 30 mins

Following the Body MOT, your Personal Trainer will explain the results to you and offer some simple advice based on the current healthy living guidelines. You will also be given a full report to take away with you. We will then use the results to track your progress against a bespoke set of fitness and lifestyle goals.

Preparation for your MOT

To optimise the accuracy of the results we would advise that you arrive in a fasted state (nothing to eat or drink for at least 3-5 hours beforehand, preferably overnight and no caffeine or alcohol consumption in the past 24 hours). Please come dressed in loose-fitting clothes and trainers or gymnasium attire. For us to be able to complete some of the assessments we will ask you to remove your shoes and socks and we also need to take certain body measurements such as waist circumference. Please inform a member of staff if you would prefer not to have these measurements taken or would prefer a chaperone to be present during the assessment. The data we collect will be kept confidential and will be stored in accordance with current data protection laws.

What happens after the MOT?

We recommend you attend an MOT every 6 months to a year to track your progress. It also helps you to monitor the effectiveness of your exercise regime and reassess your health and lifestyle goals.
