PERSONAL TRAINING • CHRISTCHURCH • STRENGTH AFTER 40
Personal Training Built Around You
You don’t need a harder workout.
You need the right training for where you are now and where you want to go.
At Mint, personal training is built around your goals, current ability, training history and lifestyle. Whether you’re new to strength training, returning after a break or want more structure and accountability, we’ll help you train with purpose.
No generic programmes. No pressure to keep up with anyone else.
Just intelligent coaching designed to help you become stronger, fitter and more confident in what your body can do.
Is Personal Training Right for You?
Personal training at Mint is for everyday people who want expert guidance without the atmosphere of a large commercial gym.
You might be:
New to resistance training and unsure where to start
Returning to exercise after some time away
Looking to build strength as you get older
Wanting better structure and accountability
Working around old injuries, aches or limitations
Training for better health, mobility or cardiovascular fitness
Trying to stay strong for golf, travel, family, work or simply everyday life
Already exercising but unsure whether what you're doing is actually helping
You don’t have to be fit before you start.
That’s what the training is for.
We Assess Before We Train
Everyone arrives at Mint from a different starting point.
That’s why we don’t begin by handing you somebody else’s workout.
1. Understand You
We start with your goals, training history, current fitness, movement, strength and anything that may affect how you train.
2. Build Your Programme
We select exercises, loads and training methods that suit your current ability and what you’re trying to achieve.
3. Coach the Important Stuff
Your trainer teaches technique, progresses your training and helps you understand what you’re doing and why.
4. Review and Progress
As you improve, your programme changes with you.
Consistency before intensity.
Personal Training After 40
Training in your 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond doesn’t mean training cautiously forever.
It means training intelligently.
At Mint, we want you to build a body that remains useful.
Strength
Cardiovascular Fitness
Mobility & Stability
Confidence
Consistency
The goal isn’t simply to get through today’s workout.
It’s to keep building what you’ll want from your body years from now.
Choose Your Session
30-Minute Personal Training
Focused. Efficient. Personal.
A focused coaching session for people who want effective strength training and regular accountability without needing a longer appointment.
30-minute sessions work particularly well for clients who:
- Have a clear training focus
- Are comfortable moving between exercises
- Want regular coaching and progression
- Have limited time
- Combine PT with their own independent training
Session packs are also available for regular PT clients.
45-Minute Personal Training
More Time. More Coaching. More Scope.
Our 45-minute session gives your trainer more time to work across strength, movement, mobility, conditioning and individual coaching needs.
This option may suit you if:
- You’re newer to resistance training
- You want a more comprehensive full-body session
- Your programme needs additional mobility or stability work
- You have more individual considerations to work around
- You simply prefer having more coached training time
Session packs are also available for regular PT clients.
Small Gym. Personal Coaching.
One of the advantages of personal training at Mint is the environment you train in.
We’re not a large gym with rows of equipment and hundreds of people coming through the doors.
Mint is intentionally smaller.
That means your trainer gets to know you, your programme and how you’re progressing.
It also means personal training can work alongside independent training. As your confidence grows, you can use Mint’s 24/7 member access to complete additional sessions yourself while still having the guidance of your trainer.
Personal enough to know you.
Professional enough to know when your programme needs to change.
Personal Training That Leads Somewhere
Good personal training shouldn’t make you dependent on your trainer forever.
It should help you become more capable.
Over time, we want you to understand your exercises, recognise your progress and become increasingly confident in your own training.
Your trainer remains there to coach, adjust, challenge and provide accountability — but you’re also learning how to look after your strength and fitness for the long term.
That’s a big part of Strength After 40.
What If I Have an Injury or Limitation?
Having an old injury, joint issue or physical limitation doesn’t automatically mean you can’t become stronger.
It means your programme may need to be adapted.
We can modify exercises and training around many common limitations and, where appropriate, work alongside your physiotherapist or other health professional.
For people returning from injury or needing more specific support, you can also learn about our:
Not Sure Which Session You Need?
You don’t need to decide that before you come in.
Start with an assessment.
We’ll talk through where you are now, what you’d like to achieve and what level of coaching makes sense for you.
If 30 minutes is enough, we’ll tell you.
If you’d benefit from 45 minutes, we’ll explain why.
And if you don’t need personal training every time you exercise, we’ll tell you that too.
Start Where You Are
You don’t need to be fitter, stronger or more confident before you walk through the door.
That’s what we’re here to help you build.
Stop waiting to feel ready. Start building ready.
