Small Group Personal Training.
Each session at Joy is 60 minutes, with a maximum of six members — ensuring plenty of individual attention, coaching and support.
Our training is structured and progressive, built around periodised training blocks designed for measurable, long-term results — not random workouts.
Every session is a full-body workout, so if you miss a session, you won’t fall behind or miss an entire muscle group.
Within each session, there is one main compound lift, supported by accessory work to build strength across the whole body.
We cycle through the four fundamental movement patterns: squat, hinge, push, pull.
Progressive, Not Random.
Each time you return to a lift, you’ll build on your previous session.
That might mean:
lifting slightly heavier
completing more reps
or moving with greater control and confidence
You can track your weights and reps in your training logbook, so your progress is always visible.
A Smarter Rotation.
Within each 12-week training block, we programme two sessions for each movement pattern.
On the timetable, you’ll see these listed as:
Squat 1 / Squat 2
Hinge 1 / Hinge 2
Push 1 / Push 2
Pull 1 / Pull 2
Each variation focuses on a different lift. For example:
Squat 1 might focus on back squats
Squat 2 might focus on split squats
This gives you the benefits of enough consistency to progress with enough variation to stay balanced and engaged.
Our timetable runs on a continuous rotation, so you won’t repeat the same session every week — even if you always train on the same days.
New to some of the terminology? Our Exercise Glossary explains everything clearly.
Training in phases.
Our programming runs in cycles to help you build strength safely and effectively:
Hypertrophy (12 weeks) Build muscle, improve technique, and develop confidence.
Strength (12 weeks) Lift heavier, get stronger, and challenge yourself.
Personal Best Week Twice a year, we run PB weeks where you can test your strength on key lifts and see how far you’ve come.
Then we repeat — stronger each time.
Coaching & Support
Every session is fully coached from start to finish.
We’ll guide you through:
warm-ups and movement prep
building up to your working weights
technique on every lift
how to progress safely
If you’re new to lifting — or just want to build confidence — our Intro to Lifting workshops run monthly and cover all the fundamentals.
Suitable for Every Level.
All sessions are fully scalable, making SGPT suitable for every age and ability.
For example, if squats are programmed:
beginners might start with bodyweight or goblet squats
more experienced members might work with barbell variations
You’ll always be working at the level that’s right for you.
Strength for Life.
This isn’t about quick fixes or burnout workouts.
It’s about building strength that lasts — in a supportive, structured environment where you can feel confident in what you’re doing, and proud of your progress.
