The Northwards Approach
Personal training with Northwards isn’t simply about guiding you through a workout. It's to help you understand what you're doing, why you're doing it, and eventually feel confident doing more of it without me.
Usually in the beginning we’ll work together more often. This gives us time to build strength and fitness, but also to develop good movement patterns, establish routine and help you become more confident in your own abilities. As that confidence grows, the relationship changes. I'll gradually step back while you begin doing more for yourself.
A typical first 12 weeks might look like this:
Weeks 1–8 · Build the foundations
Three one-to-one sessions each week, focused on movement, strength, confidence and establishing a routine that works in your life.
Weeks 9–12 · Build independence
Two sessions each week, with greater emphasis on helping you take ownership of your training and begin exercising confidently on your own.
After that, we decide together what comes next. You might continue with regular coaching, reduce the frequency of our sessions, or feel ready to do more independently.
There is no rigid finish line. The aim is simply that, over time, you need me less because you can do more for yourself.
Independence, but with the reassurance that support is always there if and when you need it.
Pricing ranges from $90 to $110 per session.
What I bring with me ….
Hello, I'm Sasha.
I'm the person behind Northwards Personal Training.
I'm 57 years old. I've lived enough life to know that health isn't separate from everything else. It's woven through careers, relationships, children, grief, joy, stress and change.
I'm a mother of three. I've been pregnant. I've recovered after birth. I know how easily, in the beautiful exhaustion of family life, looking after yourself can slip further and further down the list.
I've lived in four different countries. I know what it's like to start over. To rebuild routines. To feel like you've lost your bearings and have to work out who you are in a new place.
Before fitness, I worked in the corporate world. I know the feeling of racing from one responsibility to the next, always short on time, and telling yourself you'll look after yourself when things settle down.
I've spent more than twenty years as a personal trainer. I've worked with hundreds of people - women and men, complete beginners and experienced athletes, people who love exercise and people who dread it. Every one of them arrived with a different body, a different story and different reasons for being there.
I'm still learning. The body is endlessly fascinating, and our understanding of health continues to evolve. I never want to be the trainer who thinks they know everything. I keep learning, I ask questions, and I know when someone else's expertise is needed. Curiosity makes me a better coach. Qualifications
I have ridden the wild beast that is peri-menopause and menopause. For all my years in fitness, nothing prepared me for how completely it could knock me sideways. Things that had always worked suddenly didn't. I lost confidence in a body I'd spent most of my life understanding. Menopause did teach me something that my years in the fitness industry hadn't: knowing what to do and being able to do it aren't always the same thing.
Sometimes we all need a little help finding our way again. Not to promise a new you, but to help you reconnect with the person you've always been …… and the person you're still becoming.
