here are some of most asked questions
We hope these help with any questions that you may have. If these don't answer yours in particular then feel free to reach out on Instagram or via email, we are here to help.
How do we access the yoga classes?
The yoga classes are in their own section on the app so members can just select the class they want and follow along with our instructor Alecs.
Do we have home workouts?
Yes we have a full bodyweight and band programme and also a dumbbell only programme. Both of these can be done at home, on holiday or even in the office with next to no equipment.
Is the nutrition programme tailored per person?
The nutrition programme is completely specific to each member. The employee will fill out the on-boarding questionnaire and from that we can work out their calorie target for their particular goal. The member will also be able to select how many meals and snacks they want to have in a day and be able to let us know of any food preferences or dislikes so we can be sure to keep them out of their programme.
Would each employee get a different programme?
Each employee will fill out a questionnaire when they first log in. From this they can choose their goals, if they train at home or in a gym and what they wish to achieve. From there we will select the programme that suits them best.
What does the nutrition programme consist of?
First off if you want to change your body composition (gain muscle or lose body fat) then it’s essential that you know how many calories are going in. When you sign up you will fill out our on boarding questionnaire. From that we will have all the info we need to calculate your calorie intake for you and your goals. You can select how many meals you would like to eat across the day and how many snacks. You can also select any eating preferences and foods that you would like left out of your programme. We will then create you a personalised nutrition programme with meals that will fit your likes and also provide you with a shopping list so you know exactly what you need to buy to fit your programme. Every month you will fill out an update questionnaire for us and this then allows us to track your progress and alter your calories etc if needed.
Can I track my weights?
Inside the app you will get your programme through with all your sets and reps for that given session. You can then note down the weights you used for each exercise. This is essential so you can ensure that you’re progressing throughout the programme. If you used 20kg DB’s say for shoulder press last time then we would ideally like to see those weights increasing over the training block even if only by a few kg as this will add up over time.
Do I get discount to any other brands?
Yes we have built up partnerships with 10-15 brands that are all health, fitness or rugby related. Some of the more notable being Pro Athletes Supplements where members get 50% off RRP and Canterbury where members get 20% using our exclusive code. Others include food prep companies, gym equipment, recovery facilities such as Cryo Therapy and discounts for gym memberships.
What kind of support do I get as an SW7 Academy member?
You will get access to all 3 coaches via our facebook group for any questions you have. As well as this we also have a support email account to help with any technical questions or memberships etc. We pride ourselves on looking after our members the absolute best we can and you will always have multiple options when you need any form of help.
