Consistent Performance — Dublin

Consistent Performance is based at Terenure Road North in Rathgar, Dublin, so Rathgar is the natural starting point for finding a personal trainer nearby. If you live further away, ask first whether sessions can be arranged in your area before you book.

The price of personal training in Rathgar depends on a few factors, mainly whether you book single sessions or a block, how experienced the trainer is, and whether sessions take place in a gym or at home or outdoors. The Personal Trainer price guide gives typical prices in Ireland, so you can compare quotes against them.

Where the profession is regulated, the trainer has to be registered with CORU, so check that registration before the first session. Ask about the training and qualifications behind the trainer's work too, and how long they have been coaching. Ask your insurer about reimbursement for training before the first session.

Ask what each session includes, such as the warm-up, the training plan and how the trainer checks your form, and how long it runs. Find out what you need to bring and whether equipment is provided. It is usual in Ireland to agree your goals and the plan before the first session starts.

Consistent Performance has a Google rating of 5 from 45 reviews, and the reviews can be read on its Google Maps page at https://maps.google.com/?cid=3521289618158901022. Read them for comments on coaching style, how sessions are structured and how well the trainer suits beginners or people with specific goals. You can also ask for references from recent clients.

You can book by phone, or contact Consistent Performance through its Locufy page to ask about sessions. Say which kind of training you are interested in, what your goals are and any injuries or health conditions the trainer should know about. Mention whether you prefer a gym, home or outdoor sessions, so the trainer can respond clearly.

Ask whether a deposit is taken and, if you buy a block of sessions, whether it is paid upfront. It is usual in Ireland for personal trainers to set a notice period for changing or cancelling a session, so ask what that period is and what happens to unused sessions in a block. Get the terms in writing before you pay.
