Coronavirus (COVID-19)

We hope you have all looked after yourselves both mentally and physically during this difficult period and we would like to thank everyone that has continued to train with us either via FaceTime or Zoom and more recently at an outside venue.

We look forward to welcoming you and those clients we haven’t seen back into the gym. Your contact will always be your individual trainer but if you have any specific concerns or queries, please feel free to contact Steve, Dave or Chris.

Every Oakfields trainer is aware of the risk assessments that we have had to carry out and has been informed of the reasons why all the safety procedures have been implemented.

In short the risk assessment asked us to do the following:

  • Increase the frequency of hand washing and surface cleaning.
  • Ensure trainers are still able to work from home but when at work that they are able to comply with social distancing.
  • Where social distancing cannot be followed in relation to a particular activity to consider whether that activity needs to continue or whether there is an alternative.
  • Take all necessary steps to decrease the transmission between trainers and clients.
  • Increase hand washing, use screens and barriers, decrease face to face contact wherever possible, and decrease the contact between people on site

Oakfields Personal Training’s commitment to the client is the following:

  • 3 trainers per day will be operating in separate rooms (these rooms will remain the same for the duration of each trainers shift).
  • We will operate staggered start and finish times to decrease contact between trainers and clients and to allow each trainer to thoroughly clean and prepare the room and equipment for the next session.
  • Prior to opening the gym will receive a thorough COVID 19 disinfection clean. Our cleaners have taken the necessary COVID 19 training to ensure this can be done as effectively as possible.
  • Trainers will wear either face masks or visors. The wearing of face coverings for clients is not currently a legal requirement and we respect your decision not to wear one.
  • Doors and windows will remain open throughout the day to ensure maximum ventilation is achieved.

New Clients

If you are interested in having personal training with us, please contact train@oakfieldspt.co.uk or make an enquiry through our ‘contact us’ page. We will come back to you as soon as we can to begin arranging your training.

Please rest assured that we are doing everything we can to ensure the gym operates safely and all kit is kept clean. If you start training with us your trainer will send you more information on what we are asking of our clients in order to maintain this safe environment.

We sincerely appreciate your cooperation in allowing us to achieve these procedures. In practice we believe this will be very straight forward to achieve although on paper it may feel quite daunting.

We are really looking forward to seeing you all again and doing what we do best, PERSONAL training.

TESTIMONIALS

Oakfields is a great gym - it has a happy atmosphere, all the trainers are likeable and friendly and have a professional attitude to promoting the overall fitness of their clients. It's a pleasure to recommend them.

Jen

Starting at a new gym can sometimes feel intimidating and this had always posed a bit of a barrier for me. I found Oakfields and have never looked back. Immediately feeing at ease with a friendly, welcoming environment it was just the type of gym I was looking for. I would certainly recommend Oakfields to anyone.

Kath

For anyone considering personal training for the first time, for whatever reason, I can’t recommend the Oakfields team highly enough - it’s a fun, supportive and completely unintimidating environment to train in - worth every penny!

Helena

I first met Lee 15 months ago when I visited Oakfields Personal Training to discuss creating a weight loss program. I now see him for an hour a week and he can take a lot of the credit for the results I have achieved. From the outset, he worked around my abilities and physical limitations.

Tom

Having seen a chiropractor regularly for several years to temporarily manage and correct a back problem I was put in touch with Lee at Oakfields about 18 months ago. The message on the back of his t-shirt promised to change my life in six weeks. He probably managed it in five. My back problem was solved by building up core strength and then focusing on sustainable weight loss, strength and aerobic fitness. I am fitter at 46 than I have been for the last 25 years.

Jonathan

I got in touch with Oakfields when I felt in a bit of a fitness rut - I’d go for half-hearted runs and do the occasional exercise video at home but didn’t feel totally fit and healthy. Training at Oakfields has been such a turnaround for me; I expected to feel fitter and slimmer (which I do), but what I didn’t expect was a feeling of general positivity and a newfound enthusiasm for work and confidence in other areas of my life.
