What a good trainer does for this goal

A good trainer for an injury starts with your recovery, not a fixed plan. They ask what hurts, what your physio or GP has said, and which movements you can do now. They adapt exercises, keep you within safe limits, and check in on how you feel after each session.

Some injuries need medical clearance before you start, so check with your GP or physio where it matters. Once you have that, your brief helps trainers understand you. Include the injury and roughly when it happened, what you can and cannot do, any advice you have been given, and where you want to train: at a gym, at home or online.

Only share what a trainer needs to train you safely. You choose who receives your brief, and contact details are shared only after you pick a trainer.

Common questions

Do I need a doctor's or physio's approval before I train?

For many injuries, yes, and that is the safest route. Check with your GP or physio before you start, and mention their advice in your brief so trainers can plan around it.

What should I put in my brief if I have an injury?

Describe the injury, when it happened, and any movements that cause pain. Add any exercises or restrictions your physio has given you, and say where you would like to train.

Can a trainer work with me if my injury is still healing?

Some trainers specialise in rehabilitation-style training, and others focus on strength while you recover. Say how you are feeling now in your brief, and trainers can tell you whether they are a good fit.
