At a time when I had fallen out of love with training, I decided it was time to retain a PT to help me establish some realistic goals and give me some perspective. Gavin’s experience and commitment have helped me regain confidence in myself and the gym again in such a short space of time. I train with Gavin one-one on a Monday morning (I must be nuts!), however, these energetic and fun filled sessions really sets the tone for the rest of my week and propels me to keep pushing myself harder and further, keeping the momentum going. Gavin is focused on helping me achieve my goals and makes every session challenging (& somehow fun). My fitness has increased noticeably, and I’ve seen big improvements in my cardio and HIIT stamina week on week, as well as my strength and overall endurance. I thoroughly enjoy the variety and challenges of each session, and it is very clear that Gavin listens and takes onboard everything you share about your personal goals and carefully tailors the plan to meet those targets. Equally as important, he is always punctual, reliable and fully available if I need help outside of our sessions. I originally considered only using a PT for 3 months, but after training with Gavin I knew that I wanted (and needed) his support on an on-going basis. If I was to recommend a personal trainer, Gavin would be the one; if you have never set foot in a gym, he will make you feel comfortable and at ease. If you, like me, have trained for years, his extensive knowledge will help guide you and keep you motivated.

Having never really been a big fan of the gym and feeling so self conscious about being in there I was never really interested in starting any fitness program. Until I had my daughter almost 2 years ago. I was at my heaviest and absolutely hated looking in the mirror. I'd tried all the fad diets but never really worked. I knew I needed to go to the gym but didn't know where to start, until I found Gavin. He helped me overcome my fear of working out in the gym and made me realise that I can do so much more than just run on the treadmill. He made it feel almost too easy to be in the gym and actually found enjoyment in being there. I got over my fear of being watched (by actually being watched!). He kept me motivated and celebrated each success with me which helped me become more determined to keep going. He helped me get closer to my goal of losing weight and being fitter and overall gave me a new love for exercise!

A back injury is the reason I started training with Gavin, and I couldn't of wished for a better PT. After our initial meeting, I put my trust in Gav, and it paid off. I was used to motivating myself to workout, but after the injury I was unsure what exercises I could do, which left me uninterested and unfit. My routine was non existent. Fast forward 6 weeks later, and I feel amazing! I'm stronger, I have a good routine, and most of all my back feels great. He worked my training around a macro food plan which was easily manageable, and simply gives you good direction with your eating habits. His knowledge is ridiculous! It was so in depth, to the point I got lost sometimes, but he would explain everything, and why each exercise was appropriate for me. The sessions were tough but enjoyable. Knowing I get bored easily, he kept the workouts varied but still focused with my injury in mind. To round him up as a PT, he is motivating, approachable, attentive and an all round nice guy. My journey was meant to end at 6 weeks but I have decided to continue my training with Gav because of the results I have seen. I want to see how much further I can go with his support.
