INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS
One-to-one sessions can be delivered at your school, (providing prior negotiation and agreements have been established with your principal or teacher). Maybe your school has a gym, or iHELP can bring the suitable equipment to ensure your program meets your specific needs.
You will begin with a consultation session to establish any health risks and if a professional referral or medical clearance is required prior to starting a program. A tailored exercise plan geared towards your specific needs can then begin.
