Tabata or HIIT

November 15, 2020

Circuits, bootcamp, HIIT (high intensity interval training), Tabata and so on.. Are all names for a similar type of workout, timed exercises. However, each does something a little different. Most commonly HIIT and Tabata get mixed up, so this feature explains the difference.

So maybe now would be a good time to try a Tabata workout? It can be done in 4 minutes (plus warm up and stretches).

Life is too short so eat nutritious, lift heavy, cuddle often, laugh a lot, work hard, Enjoy life.

I have had over fifty PT sessions with Sam and in that time my body and confidence has changed. Sam motivated me and corrected my technique in a clear professional way. I don’t naturally enjoy exercising but Sam designs programs with variety and this keeps me on my toes.

Sam is brilliant, and I really enjoy working out with her. I decided to get a personal trainer because I was struggling to motivate myself to fit in the gym and wanted some help to ensure when I did work out it was really effective.
Sam is perfect! She is extremely experienced and knowledgeable and tailors my workout each week to ensure I am pushing myself whilst also working around my weak knee. She pushes you to workout harder and challenge yourself without you feeling under pressure.
She is really understanding and knows that her clients are busy with hectic lives and is really flexible. Sam is really personable I enjoy my sessions each week as they are fun and I enjoy our chats.

If you don’t like something change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.

Working with Sam for the last 2 years has been a revelation – I had no idea that going to the gym could be so enjoyable, nor that I was capable of gaining so much strength and flexibility again in my sixties, after a year of brutal cancer treatment left me physically and emotionally wrecked. Sam’s extensive training experience and her deep understanding of the human body, and how it responds to physical activity, inform the exercise programmes she tailors for each individual’s particular needs; not only does she encourage you to work towards challenging goals but, equally importantly, she protects you from injuring yourself by trying to go too far too fast.

Training with Sam has enabled me to regain a level of strength and physical self confidence that I thought had gone for ever – I am so very grateful for this.

Sam is a truly excellent trainer, and I cannot recommend her enough

Sam’s sessions are very rewarding, and I can feel myself getting stronger. With an 8 month old, it can be hard to fit exercise in, and my gym doesn’t have a creche, so being able to bring my baby along is perfect. Sam is supportive and encouraging, and varies her sessions every week, so it’s very much something I look forward to.

For me, exercise is more than just physical – it’s therapeutic.

Heather Senior

Sam is incredibly encouraging and supportive in getting back into and maintaining a good exercise regime. She tailors sessions to suit your needs and adapts where needed. I know Sam is genuinely interested in me getting to my goal and completely non judgemental- which is fantastic. Sam also has the knowledge and experience in nutrition with lots of useful tips, so she is a one stop shop for healthy living!
