Your first visit to PJG PT & Wellness is all about understanding you — your health, your lifestyle, your goals, and the way your body moves. Before we design any training plan, we take the time to build a complete picture of your wellbeing so we can support you safely, effectively, and personally.
Your initial appointment lasts around one hour and includes a full Health & Lifestyle Assessment. Here’s exactly what you can expect.
A Warm Welcome & Introduction
When you arrive, you’ll be welcomed into our calm, Scandinavian‑inspired studio space — designed to help you feel relaxed and at ease from the moment you walk in. We’ll talk through the session, answer any questions, and make sure you feel comfortable before we begin our 7-step introduction process.
In‑Depth Health & Lifestyle Questionnaire
We start with a detailed conversation supported by a structured questionnaire. This helps us understand:
• Your health history
• Any previous or current injuries
• Your exercise background
• Your day‑to‑day lifestyle
• Your sleep, stress, and recovery habits
• Your short‑ and long‑term goals
This is your chance to tell us what you want to achieve — whether that’s strength, mobility, fat loss, confidence, energy, or simply feeling better in your body.
Blood Pressure Check
We take a resting blood pressure reading to establish a baseline and ensure you’re training safely. It’s a quick, non‑invasive test that gives us valuable insight into your cardiovascular health.
Peak Flow & Lung Function Tests
Next, we assess your respiratory health using:
• Peak flow measurement
• Lung function tests
These help us understand how efficiently your lungs work and how your body handles oxygen during exercise — especially useful if you have asthma, allergies, or a history of breathing‑related conditions.
Grip Strength Test
Grip strength is a surprisingly powerful indicator of overall strength and long‑term health. Using a dynamometer, we measure your maximum grip force, giving us a benchmark for future progress.
98%‑Accurate DEXA‑Standard Body Composition Scan
We use high‑accuracy technology (DEXA‑equivalent at 98% accuracy) to assess your body composition, including:
• Body fat percentage
• Lean muscle mass
• Fat distribution
• Visceral fat levels
This gives you a clear, honest starting point — and helps us track meaningful changes over time.
Movement Screen
Your movement screen is one of the most important parts of the assessment. We look at:
• Mobility
• Stability
• Balance
• Joint function
• Posture
• Movement patterns
This helps us identify strengths, limitations, and any areas that need extra support. It also ensures your training programme is safe, personalised, and effective.
Fitness Test
Finally, we complete a simple, tailored fitness test to understand your current cardiovascular and muscular fitness levels. This isn’t about pushing you to your limit — it’s about establishing a baseline so we can measure your progress with confidence.
What Happens Next
Once your assessment is complete, we’ll talk through your results together. You’ll leave with:
- A clear understanding of your current health and fitness
- Insight into what’s working well and what needs attention
- A personalised plan for your next steps
- Confidence that your training will be safe, structured, and aligned with your goals
This is the foundation of your journey at PJG PT & Wellness — a holistic, informed approach that supports your body and mind from day one.
