Everyone who plays a sport benefits from sport-specific training. Whether it is high-level competition preparation, injury prevention or simply conditioning the body to get more out of the local tennis club social afternoon, an appropriate programme can be created.
Recent clients have trained successfully for rugby, tennis, netball, hockey, marathon running, skiing and triathlon. Sports people are generally committed-types who give their all to each event or match. However, it can still be quite tough to get up early and put yourself through a hardcore interval sprint session to improve your performance on the football pitch or netball court. Or maybe the engine is not the problem it’s the dull fine tuning that gets forgotten! Working together we can take care of the areas of sports training you never seem to get round to. Man of the Match here we come!
Ali rocks – she has a heart of gold, nerves of steel and a mouth that a Walthamstow Washer Woman on a wet Wednesday would be proud of! Lee, Richmond |  | I contacted Ali Carrington at Viva Personal Training with the specific aim of becoming match fit for netball after pregnancy and the C-section delivery of my twins. Ali's experience in netball at a high level ensured she had a better understanding of the demands netball has on your body and in the strength and agility required to play competitively. Ali's sessions were very much tailored to my goals and were challenging and creative, and surprisingly fun, I even looked forward to them!!!! Ali was organised, well-researched, safe and encouraging - she also showed an interest in my performance during matches and continues to provide me with advice on netball game play as well as general fitness.
As a new mother with a young family I have a very limited time to train and Ali recognises this by setting tailored challenges to carry out in addition to our sessions to ensure I used my time efficiently. After the first 6 sessions with Ali, the results were remarkable - my fitness had improved dramatically as had my core strength, confidence and energy. A happy side effect to this was losing inches from my hips and waist and losing 3 kilos as well. Nicola, East Sheen
