Frequently Asked Questions

This FAQ section answers common questions about training, injury-focused exercise rehab, sports massage, and how sessions at Tribe Sweat work, helping you understand what to expect before getting started.

Personal Training

  • No you most certainly don’t. That is what we are here for. Our coaches are experienced in coaching absolute beginners for all ages, all the way to advanced athletes, with everything in between. Your journey with us is tailored to suit your level, injuries, and goals.

  • When you come for your consultation, we begin with an orientation of the gym and a chat about what you are looking for, and goals you may haveWe then do a full Body Composition Analysis and Movement Screen. We use all this information to design your programme with us and suggest options we can provide for you.

  • There is nothing more exciting than taking part in your first session. We understand there may be some nerves and apprehension, but we are here to make it as easy and comfortable for you! For your first session, arrive 5/10mins early so we have ample time to show you the ropes, learn to foam roll, and get your bearings. Our coaches will introduce you to anyone else training at a similar time. Once you have had a roll, you will be guided through your warm up by your coach. The coach will then explain the session to you, and will be there to guide you through it the whole way through. At the end we will make sure you are booked in for your next session and you are free to go!
