Fascia is the body's connective tissue. It's fibrous cobweb-like connective tissue found throughout the whole of the body runing from head to toe. Your fascia provides a framework that helps support and protect individual muscle groups, organs, and the entire body as a unit. A strength curve is a graphical representation of how a muscle generates and applies force in a specific direction.
This force is then represented using three basic categories: ascending, descending and bell-shaped. An eccentric contraction occurs when a muscle lengthens under load. An example of this would be when you're lowing yourself into a squatting position. Generally speaking, a muscle can be upto 150% stronger during an eccentric contraction than a concentric contraction.

I have been training with Hall for two years now and I absolutely love it. I am so much stronger than I was before I started, and I really look forward to the time I spend there.
All of the trainers have a great balance between encouraging you to work harder than you ever thought you could, but without pushing you too far. As someone with a previous serious injury, I always feel like I am in safe hands.
The PTs are all really friendly, as are the members there, so it always feels like a friendly, welcoming place to be. I think it is great value for money given the level of support and expertise

The team at Hall have been helping me train for around 8 months now, and I can't recommend them enough.
If like me you want to be stronger, but aren't motivated enough to go to a gym or you feel intimidated by the weights area, Hall may be the perfect answer.
The entire team are amazing, and I'm seeing great results already. I've been a cyclist and runner for ages but for the first time I can see muscles in my arms and shoulders too!
Every trainer has their own style, but all of them have a great eye for detail and really know their stuff. They cajole, encourage and push you to safely do more

So my goal was to get fitter and feel better. That was all.
I'd not done any meaningful exercise for a few years. The last couple of pandemic years had been tough for everyone and I'm no different.
I knew I needed the motivation to get going again and Hall Personal Training had been on my radar for a while. So a couple of months ago I finally picked up the courage to join the trial period and was impressed by the response and approach from all the Hall team. The trial period started and I haven't looked back.
The atmosphere is friendly and encouraging. Everyone I've met there understands that

Great team of trainers, knowledgeable and professional whilst also making training good fun. Easily the most consistently I've ever managed to train in a gym and the 'small group PT' model is great in that it makes personal training much more accessible. Great experience all around, highly recommend.

My wife and I joined Hall's gym a month ago by signing up for the trial period. All the personal trainers are brilliant, very encouraging and knowledgeable. I was a total beginner when I started, and I felt that they knew exactly how to make sure I make maximum progress. If the gym is in your price range, you can definitely get a lot out of it - highly recommend!

My wife and I joined Hall at the beginning of the year and are so glad we did. Throughout lockdown we had daily virtual sessions with on hand advice and support to keep focussed and motivated through a difficult time. Once gyms opened up again we then started on the Hall programmes and are both training now in a way we never would have been able to do on our own. We really enjoy the community feel of the gym and feel that we are part of something rather than just members of a gym. The Personal Trainers are dedicated, enthusiastic and, more importantly, know their stuff. A brilliant set up.

I've been with training Hall Personal Trainers now for over 4 months. I can honestly say its been one of the best decisions I've made for my health.
As someone who has always struggled to stay motivated to exercise, particularly on my own, compounded by the circumstances surrounding COVID-19, I was seriously out of shape at the beginning of the year. I was also very reluctant to make any kind commitment to a membership since I'm inclined to get bored, run out of enthusiasm and then eventually stop going altogether. I knew I needed something different. I needed something that demanded effort and

I couldn’t recommend Hall Personal Training enough. It has been the best gym experience that I’ve ever had, however, Hall PT isn’t comparable to the usual, impersonal gym environment. Their gym is very well equipped and maintained, the clever small-group training concept makes personal training both affordable and highly effective, and their time slots accommodate everyone's schedule. I really appreciate that health always comes first before shape. All the trainers are extremely competent (and up to date with science) in terms of exercise (what kind of and how to), correct alignment and movement

I joined Hall Training nearly two years ago on the recommendation of my then PT, who was moving to London. I have had memberships at other gyms but I think Hall Personal Training is unique for a few reasons.
First, sessions are usually either two to a trainer or four to a trainer, depending on your membership. This means you work out with other people who can be at a different stage in their fitness journey and you get to learn a lot more by seeing that, as well as having the attention of your trainer.
Second, the training sessions are on a common rotation so if you have three sessions booked

I can’t recommend Hall Training highly enough! I had no idea what I was doing when I started but all the trainers were so welcoming and supportive. They’re really encouraging and knowledgeable and make you feel at ease right away. Everyone is also really friendly and there’s a great atmosphere during the sessions, which makes them really enjoyable. I also appreciate that it’s so flexible and can be worked around whatever schedule or commitments you have. Since I started the progress in my fitness has been huge and I couldn’t be happier, I only wish I’d joined sooner!
