When I first met Rob I was overweight and lacked motivation. I'd decided on
a personal trainer to kick start a weight loss and fitness programme and
chose Rob for his easy going likeable personality and the fact that he came
to my house rather than meet at a gym, (I have been a member of a gym for 4
years and am amongst the majority that just do not go! Together with most of
the PT's I called insisted on meeting me at a gym - waste of time for me as
a gym member I never wanted to go there, so home based was what I wanted).
We decided on a programme that included getting me running (for the first
time in a long time) to assist with fitness/weight loss and free weights for
toning. I must admit the training was hard at first and I often thought my
lungs would burst and that this whole thing was a mistake, but through
Rob's patience, dedication, enthusiasm and encouragement I am now
running 3 or 4 times a week plus toning with the dreaded weights and loving
every minute. I could sing Rob's praises for paragraphs, but bottom line -
would I recommend a personal trainer to anyone for any training regime - be
it like me, a complete novice aiming to lose weight and get fit or an
enthusiast training for a marathon? - yes I would.
Would I recommend Rob? - only 110% - Fantastic. Rob - I cannot thank
you enough for the "new me" - your patience (in abundance) and the fact I
haven't a clue what is going on in Eastenders (as I am out running) is the
best reward. As you can imagine - you are a star!

As an 'over-40s unfit person' I was unsure about personal trainers. However,
I found Rob to be a brilliant coach and an effective encourager. I had never
run for more than three minutes in my entire life, but less than three weeks
later, Rob had me running two miles! I am three stone lighter and fitter
than I have ever been – a new lease of life!. Thanks Rob - you are worth
every penny and more!

With the help of Rob over the last six months I have managed
to achieve my objectives of losing weight and generally getting fitter. Not
only has Rob guided and motivated me during weekly exercising sessions he
has also given me advice and guidance regarding other exercise to undertake
when he is not present and with regard to other aspects of life, which
affect health and fitness levels.
Robs overall manner is one of consideration, offering encouragement when
needed, adjusting the content of sessions as required and always pushing to
gain the most benefit but in an understanding way.
Amongst Robs key attributes are:
An in-depth knowledge of how the body works and reacts to exercise
Ability to devise and adapt exercise programs to meet the changing needs of an individual
To vary the exercise routines so that they do not become tedious and boring
A friendly atmosphere within which to workout
A flexibility to enable exercise times to be changed when needed
Keeping to agreed appointment times
I have not regretted working with Rob and would gladly do so again in the
future.

"I have been having personal training sessions with Rob on and off for the last 12 months. I have found them invaluable and that my fitness levels have, without doubt, increased. I have received great guidance and encouragement, and have found that
Rob pitched me at the right level for me to progress and feel encouraged about my results. I would definitely recommend Rob, and consider the training I received as good value for money."

"I have a heart problem so exercise is a crucial commitment and keeping fit
is an essential part of my life. I chose Rob as my personal trainer because I’m self employed and
flexibility is important to me. I have a tailor made training
schedule and Rob provides a friendly, non-judgmental approach with a supportive attitude whilst I’m striving to achieve. He's also punctual which is very important as I live by my watch."

"I have been training with Rob
for over a year now and during this time he has helped me achieve my goals of
losing weight and toning up. I lack motivation and would not go to the gym at
all on my own, but
Rob’s relaxed style of encouragement has motivated me to
train three times a week and achieve a level of fitness I never though possible.
Rob is always on time and has never cancelled an appointment. He also gets the
best from me every session, even when I least feel like it. Training with Rob
would come with a strong recommendation. He gets results, is fun to train with
and offers excellent value for money."

"We enlisted the help of Rob
some three years ago now and we have tried to meet with him three times per week
subsequently. We cannot speak too highly of Rob, who as a professional young
man:
Has a thorough understanding of personal fitness regimes
Understands the workings of
the human body in conjunction with his job
Has stretched us to the
limit but not so as to feel uncomfortable
Has a subtle and friendly
attitude that has enabled us to
continually improve our fitness performance as
time elapses
