Personal Trainer (Free) – static website – remove blog elements on HomePage

Hi, I'm using the PT (Free) template on a local install of WordPress (Win10 PC only at the moment via AMPPS, not on a web server). I want to set the site to be a standard (static) website - rather than blog based (may add blog page later). I have set the Home Page and the site setting to be a static site bit I'm still getting the Blog / Post elements at the bottom of the Home Page. I need to retain the page text I've added for the Home Page, I just don't want the Recent Posts (title), posts or More Posts (button) - so the whole section on the Home page related to Posts. On other templates I've seen, setting the website to Static removes any blog elements on the Home Page - but this isn't happening on the PT (Free) template. Thanks.
