Question 1

Do I have to choose between training and therapies?

Accepted Answer

Not at all — that's the whole idea behind SCBalance. Some people come for personal training, some for reflexology or Indian head massage, and plenty do both. Training builds you up; treatments give you time to slow down and recover.

Question 2

I've never trained before. Is personal training for me?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Plenty of people start with no gym experience at all. We begin with what you can do now and build from there, at a pace that feels manageable.

Question 3

What happens in the free intro?

Accepted Answer

Fifteen minutes to talk about your goals, training experience and lifestyle, and to answer any questions. It's a consultation, not a workout — there's no pressure and no obligation to book.

Question 4

What is reflexology?

Accepted Answer

A gentle, hands-on complementary therapy that applies pressure to points on the feet. It's a chance to relax and switch off. Sessions last 60 minutes and cost £35, and each one starts with a short consultation. Hand and facial reflexology are also available.

Question 5

What is Indian head massage?

Accepted Answer

A traditional Ayurvedic massage, also called champissage, focusing on the head, neck, shoulders and upper arms. It's a popular choice if you carry tension in your shoulders or spend long days at a desk.

Question 6

Is there anyone who shouldn't have a treatment?

Accepted Answer

Reflexology and Indian head massage are complementary therapies and don't replace medical care. Please mention any health conditions, recent injuries, or if you're pregnant when you book, so the treatment can be adapted — or so we can agree it's best to wait.

Question 7

What should I bring or wear?

Accepted Answer

For training: comfortable kit, a water bottle and trainers you can move in. For treatments: just yourself — wear something comfortable and everything else is provided.

Question 8

Where are you based?

Accepted Answer

Personal training is at Momentum Elevate, 11 Dunnamore Road, Cookstown BT80 9NR, with parking on site. Reflexology and Indian head massage are at 27 Coolreaghs Manor, Cookstown, or at Momentum Elevate — and I also offer mobile treatments in your own home. It's an easy drive from Magherafelt, Dungannon and across Mid Ulster.

Question 9

Can you come to my home for a treatment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Reflexology and Indian head massage are available as mobile appointments in your own home, as well as at Coolreaghs Manor or Momentum Elevate. Mention it when you book and we'll arrange the details.

Question 10

Can I train with a friend or partner?

Accepted Answer

Yes — that's the 2-to-1 session. It's £40 per session for two people, or £140 for a block of four (£17.50 each per session). Both of you attend together, and we'll build the session around both of your goals.

Question 11

Do you offer block bookings or discounts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A block of four 1-to-1 sessions is £120 (instead of £140), and a block of four 2-to-1 sessions is £140. Everyone with an active PT block also gets 10% off any 1-hour reflexology treatment — £31.50 instead of £35.

Question 12

How do I book or change a booking?

Accepted Answer

Pick a time in the booking calendar. You'll get an email to confirm the details, and you can reschedule from that email if something comes up.
