Personal Training for PCOS & Pelvic Fitness in Islington

The symptoms of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) – while differing from person-to-person – can potentially touch every part of your life. From skin and hair changes, weight gain, and irregular periods to difficulties getting pregnant, mood changes and fluctuating blood sugar levels. At best, they’re distressing – and in many cases, they can be debilitating.

Despite this range of symptoms, it’s almost universally acknowledged that the right kind of exercise has the potential to significantly reduce the severity of all of the above. This is where the right personal trainer comes in.

At Trang Fitness, we have extensive knowledge of the kind of exercise that will help to ease the symptoms of PCOS and pelvic health conditions. What’s more, we’ll do everything we can to keep you motivated and moving in the right direction – including an almost endless amount of support and advice around habits and lifestyle changes that will help.

Personal Trainers with Exceptional Knowledge

PCOS and pelvic health might not be the kind of subjects typical personal trainers are interested in or talk about –Trang fitness doesn’t have typical personal trainers.

Our team’s skills and background knowledge goes far, far beyond simply helping people look good in the mirror. As such, we understand PCOS; we work with clients who have sought personal training specifically to reduce PCOS symptoms, and we stay on top of medical opinions and research on treating the symptoms of the condition.

PCOS and Exercise: Medically-Proven Benefits

There’s a huge number of medical studies that show proven links between strength training and PCOS, including how it:

  • Improves insulin sensitivity, helping regulate blood sugar levels.

  • Reduces the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.

  • Aids in weight management, addressing common PCOS symptoms like weight gain.

  • Promotes fat loss while preserving muscle mass.

  • Boosts metabolism, helping to manage hormonal imbalances.

  • Lowers inflammation, which is often elevated in women with PCOS.

  • Enhances mood and reduces anxiety or depression linked to PCOS.

  • Supports hormonal balance by regulating estrogen and testosterone levels.

  • Improves overall fertility through better weight and hormone management.

How Exercise Supports Pelvic Health

While PCOS is a specific area of pelvic health that exercise can help with, the benefits of strength training are not limited to this one condition. The right workout plan will also typically:

  • Strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, improving bladder control and reducing the risk of urinary incontinence.

  • Increase core stability, reducing pelvic pain and discomfort.

  • Improve posture and alignment, alleviating pressure on the pelvic organs.

  • Enhance recovery from pregnancy-related pelvic issues, like diastasis recti.

  • Reduce symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse by strengthening supporting muscles.

  • Promote better sexual health by improving pelvic muscle tone and function.

Working with a PCOS Personal Trainer in Privacy

If you’re not a fan of public gyms, it’s unlikely that dealing with one or more of the symptoms of polycystic ovarian syndrome is going to make them suddenly more appealing.The good news is, we’re not fans of large public gyms either – so we take a totally different approach.

When you workout at Trang Fitness, you and your 1-1 dedicated trainer will work in a “pod” space. This private space, which is exclusively yours when you’re here, is equipped with all the strength training and aerobic exercise equipment you’ll need, whether you’re focusing on high-intensity interval training, cardio exercises, bodyweight exercises, weights, or anything else.

The best bit is, no queuing, no feeling of being watched when you work out, and no wiping down machines and equipment before you use them.

Personal Training That's Completely Bespoke to You

We never, ever, give clients an “off-the-peg” PCOS workout. Every physical exercise plan we put together is based around your specific likes, dislikes, abilities, exercise history, goals, and – crucially – the symptoms you’re feeling.

That applies to the overall program your coach will put together for you – but it also applies on a day-by-day basis. Get the studio and don’t feel up to your normal workout? Not an issue – we’ll adjust on the fly.

We ask for 24 hours notice if you can’t make a session – but we’re also human and understand that the way you feel can change quickly – so we’ll always do our utmost to rearrange rather than cancel. It’s all part of working in the best possible way for you.

No Membership Fee, No Contracts, No Obligation

We don’t want you to feel you have to come and use your coaching sessions simply because you’re paying a membership fee – so we don’t have one. You’ll pay for the sessions you use and nothing else.

We retain our clients because we strive to make positive changes to their life, whether that’s helping them lose weight, ease mental health issues, boost muscle mass, or any of the other goals that go hand-in-hand with managing PCOS symptoms.

That commitment starts with a relaxed and un-rushed consultation. You’re welcome to come and see what we offer, chat about your goals, and see our studios – and, ultimately, decide if Trang Fitness feels like the kind of place that could make a positive change for you.

Coaching and Support That Goes Beyond the gym

While a carefully put-together PCOS exercise program can go a long way towards helping ease symptoms, other lifestyle changes can also help. We’re more than happy to support you with all of them – both inside and outside the studio.

Need some advice on making sustainable and realistic adjustments to help with a balanced diet? No problem. Would you benefit from some practical tips on sleep and rest? Again, no problem.

Beyond the health and fitness knowledge, we’ll also help you to make exercise a practical part of life. We’ve all got first hand knowledge of how to build exercise habits one day at a time. The best results come with consistency – and we’re absolutely certain we’ll help to get you there.

What Happens at a Personal Training Consultation?

When you get in touch with us, we’ll call or email to arrange a free, no-obligation online consultation.

During your consultation, you’ll get a tour of the studio, and your personal trainer will chat with you about your goals. We’ll carry out a detailed movement assessment and a professional body composition scan – helping to identify strengths and potential weaknesses. From there, your coach will produce a 100-day plan explaining exactly what your sessions will involve.

It’s the perfect opportunity to see if you feels like a good fit for your life.
