ABOUT 

MIND-BODY TRAINING 

​

Our Ethos:

​

At Mind-Body Training, we are dedicated to empowering busy women to embrace a holistic approach to health and well-being. Our mission is to transform lives by nurturing the essential connection between mind and body, leading to profound positive changes in both.

​

​

Our Mission:

​

Alan here, the 'Coach who Takes a Mental Approach.' As a Qualified Personal Trainer on the path to becoming a licensed Psychotherapist, I founded Mind-Body Training in 2017 with a simple yet powerful goal: to guide busy women in not just transforming their bodies, but more importantly, their minds.

​

​

What is Mind-Body Training?

​

Mind-Body Training is the practice of seamlessly integrating mental and physical training to enhance overall physical and mental health. We offer a unique blend of cognitive exercises, mindset coaching, physical workouts, and nutritional guidance, all carefully designed to create a synergistic impact.

​

The 'Mind' Side of Things:

We help our clients train their minds through cognitive exercises and coaching rooted in evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). These practices reduce anxiety, stress, and enhance mental well-being, while also fostering better choices in nutrition and exercise.

​

The 'Body' Side of Things:

Our approach to the body is upheld by physical exercise and nutrition. Scientific studies confirm that improving physical health can positively influence the mind, and vice versa. We leverage this interconnectedness to support our clients in achieving their health and fitness goals.

​

​

Are The Mind And Body One?

​

The mind and body are not separate entities; they are interconnected and capable of influencing each other. We use the mind to help change the body through practices like mindfulness meditation and cognitive reframing. Conversely, we employ actions of the body, such as exercise, to positively change mood and the mind.

​

​

Our Programme is Tailored for Busy Women Who:

​

  • Recognize the importance of nurturing both mind and body

  • Have limited time due to desk-bound work

  • Seek an exercise and nutrition plan that seamlessly fits into their hectic schedules

  • Desire an alternative to crash diets

  • Struggle to unwind and make healthy food choices

  • Wish to move toward their goals without sacrificing time or favourite foods

  • Need an experienced coach to help work around or prevent injuries.

  • Are committed to making a positive change in their lives.

  • Want an effective and enjoyable 30-minute exercise routine, accessible online with personal guidance.

 

At Mind-Body Training, we're not just a fitness program; we're a transformative journey that bridges the gap between your mental and physical well-being. Join us in this unique adventure to rediscover balance, vitality, and lasting change.

BENEFITS OF HAVING AN ONLINE PERSONAL TRAINER 

There are many benefits of having an online personal trainer that you just don't get with offline personal training. The most obvious being the cost. Doing 1:1 online personal training with Coach Alan costs 50% less than the average offline personal training hourly rate, and doing semi-private online personal training works out even cheaper. With our online personal training options, you'll still reap the benefits that you would reap working with an offline personal trainer but save a lot of money while doing so.

​

Let me list some more benefits for you:

​

TIME: if your gym is 30 minutes from your home, and it takes you 30 minutes to get washed and dressed after a session, to do a 1 hour offline personal training session, a total of 2.5 hours will be taken from your day. If you wanted to do 4x offline sessions each week, that would be a total of 10 hours. With our online personal training options, you don't have to waste precious time commuting, and our semi-private sessions only last for 30-minutes and still give you a bang for your buck

​

NO FEAR OF JUDGEMENT: many people avoid gyms out of fear of doing things incorrectly and being judged. With online personal training, you don't have to worry about this as the only person that will see you working out is your online personal trainer

​

CONFIDENCE BUILDING: many of our members start out doing their 1:1 or semi-private online personal training at home to build their knowledge and confidence, and after a couple of months after building a REALLY solid exercise foundation, opt for a personalised gym programme that they can follow and that Coach Alan can track via the Mind-Body Training app

​

COMMUNITY AND SUPPORT: many offline personal trainers only provide you with sessions; they don't introduce you to other members or provide you with sufficient support outside of sessions. With our online personal training options, that isn't the case. You'll join our private support groups, interact with and befriend other members (who knows - you might just meet a new local walking buddy) and you will interact with Coach Alan in and outside of your sessions. With your new online personal trainer, you won't feel alone on your journey

  • How long does the programme last?
    12 weeks. This is not a short-term, quick-fix programme. In order to get great results, and establish the habits to maintain the results long-term, we need a minimum of 12 weeks commitment from you
  • What is the difference between the programme options?
    The only difference between the programme options is the training options. Whatever training option you decide to go with, you will still receive the same level of support and personalization.
  • How does the Self-Directed PT option work?
    Before you start (during your prep-week) we will schedule a one-to-one online PT session, during which I will coach you through basic fundamental strength training exercises. Based upon your performance, I will then customize a personal training programme for you which you will access and follow on a self-directed/DIY basis through our app on days and times that suit you best. Every Monday, I will analyse your workouts, provide feedback and make necessary adjustments. Then, every 4 weeks, we will schedule a one-to-one online PT session to review your exercise progress and to provide a new plan for the month ahead. With this option, you will also gain access to 1x semi-private PT and meditation sessions each month.
  • How does the Semi-Private option work?
    Like the self-directed option, during your prep-week we will schedule a one-to-one PT session which will prep you for your first semi-private session the following week. You can book and access the semi-private sessions through our app. The sessions will be instructed by myself, Coach Alan, and are capped at 6 members max to ensure effective coaching for each member. During your first week, we will focus on fundamentals (learning technique instead of focusing on intensity/breaking a sweat), and each week thereafter, we will build upon the week prior and gradually increase the intensity. The sessions are conducted via Zoom, and you will need to have your camera on to ensure that I can coach and correct you effectively. The sessions are set up in a way that only I will be able to see you, while other members can’t
  • What days/times are the Online Semi-Private sessions?
    Mon, Tues, Thurs & Fri: 6.30 - 7.00 am Mon - Fri: 10.00 - 10.30 am Mon, Wed & Fri: 5.15 - 5.45 pm You can mix and match the days and times and do as many sessions as you like.
  • What if I miss a Semi-Private session?
    With the semi-private option, you will also gain access to the self-directed/DIY option. So if you happen to miss a semi-private session, you will be able to do one in your own time via the app. For example, one week it might suit you to do at least 3x semi-private sessions, but the next it might only suit you to do 1x semi-private sessions, so you can do 2x sessions in your own time to ensure you get all 3 sessions done.
  • How does the one-to-one PT work?
    The one-to-one PT sessions are conducted online, but it will just be me and you on the sessions, and we will schedule them on days and times that work best for us both. With this option you will do 3x one-to-one PT sessions with me, and you will also gain access to the Self-directed and Semi-Private PT options in case you would like to do an additional weekly session.
  • Do you do instalment payments?
    With the self-directed option, you pay €140 every 4 weeks. With the semi-private option, you have the option to pay €200 per month, or €100 every second week. With the one-to-one PT option, you have the option to pay €480 every 4 weeks, or €120 every 7 days.
  • I want to sign up, what do I do?
    Click here to sign up for the self-directed option: https://goteamup.com/p/1862523-mind-body-training/memberships/206445/ Click here to sign up for the semi-private option: https://goteamup.com/p/1862523-mind-body-training/memberships/206442/ At present our one-to-one option is full, so consider going for one of the above options instead.
  • Do you do weekly check-ins?
    Our clients log their food into the app each day, along with their workouts, and every Sunday they do a progress assessment and fill out a brief check-in/feedback form. Then, every Monday, I analyse their food, workouts and progress, and give them detailed feedback through the app, along with suggestions.
  • What about check-in calls?
    I do a group check-in/coaching call every second Wednesday night, and do a one-to-one check-in call with clients every 4 weeks. Bear in mind that these calls aren’t mandatory. I understand that you’re busy, so if you feel satisfied with the process and your progress, and feel joining a call would be putting you under pressure, then you don’t need to jump onto one. However, they are highly recommended if you feel you need support.
  • What if I need further support between check-ins?
    If you need additional support, you simply message me on the app. If the support you need isn’t major, I will send a voice message. If it’s urgent, however, I will extend an invitation to jump onto a quick call with me.
  • Can I do the sessions from home, my office or in the gym?
    Yep. If you go with the semi-private PT or one-to-one PT options, you can do them at home, in your office or in the gym so long as Coach Alan can see you on the video call, and you can hear his instructions. If you go with the self-directed option, you can go with an at-home or gym plan.
  • Do I have to be fit?
    Nope. We meet you were you're currently at, and gradually help you build your fitness, strength and exercise confidence
  • Can you work around injuries?
    Yep. I have clients who have knee problems, lower-back and shoulder issues, and also tennis-elbow. They all get on fine. Simply mention any concerns on your call with Alan and he will note them, and then if you decide to join the programme, he will ensure that he works around them on the live sessions for you
  • How do you work on the mind?
    As a trainee psychotherapist, Alan does extensive research on how the mind and emotions impact peoples weight, and has plenty of psychological tools that he shares with clients to help them work on their minds while they transform their bodies. Also, he is there to support his clients throughout their journey, and helps them work on their minds during live sessions and support calls
  • Do I have to cut out my favourite foods?
    No. In fact, Coach Alan encourages you to have them as he doesn't want to worsen your relationship with food. Rather, he will show you how to have them and still make progress
  • Do I have to eat foods I don't enjoy?
    Nope. On the programme, you will only eat the foods you actually enjoy
  • What happens after the programme?
    Up to yourself. If you want to continue working with us, you can progress onto our continuation personal training programme, but if you want to do your own thing after the 12-weeks, that's up to yourself. No pressure.
  • Do I have to pay right away?
    No. You don't have to pay during the application process. Simply apply and we will schedule a call. By the end of the call, if you feel the programme is a fit, you can pay then.
