How much does a personal trainer cost in Nairobi?
Prices depend on how many sessions you book per week and where you train. Message D Dynamic Fitness on WhatsApp for current session and package rates.
Do I need a gym membership to train with you?
It depends on where you want to train. Message on WhatsApp with your location and we will advise the best set-up for gym-based sessions.
Do I have to spar in MMA training?
No. Sparring is completely optional and only introduced once you have solid basics and want it. Many clients train MMA purely for fitness and self-defence.
Are aerobics classes good for weight loss?
Yes. Aerobics and HIIT burn a lot of energy and, combined with sensible eating and some strength training, are very effective for fat loss.
Do I need martial arts experience to start Jeet Kune Do?
No. Beginners start with stance, footwork and basic strikes. Sessions are scaled to your fitness and experience.
Do I get hit in boxing fitness sessions?
No. Boxing fitness is non-contact. You strike pads and bags, not people.
Can I build muscle with calisthenics only?
Yes. As long as exercises get progressively harder, bodyweight training builds muscle. We use tempo, leverage and harder variations to keep progressing.
How fast can I lose weight?
A healthy, sustainable rate for most people is around 0.5 to 1 kg per week. Faster loss is usually water and muscle, and tends to come back.
Do you train teams as well as individuals?
Yes, by arrangement. Contact D Dynamic Fitness on WhatsApp to discuss team or small-group performance sessions.
How many people can join a group session?
Small groups are usually 3 to 6 people so everyone still gets coaching attention. Larger corporate sessions can be arranged.
What age can my child start?
It depends on the child. Message on WhatsApp with your child's age and we will recommend the right format.
How often should I do mobility training?
Short daily sessions of 10 to 15 minutes give the best results. Your coach will give you a routine to do between sessions.
