CLIENT CASE STUDY 🤝

I’ve had the absolute pleasure of training Gavin for over 15 months now 👌

It’s hard to put into words just how much he has achieved and overcame. Far beyond weight measurements.

Gavin attends semi private group PT sessions every week.

Yes we work hard. Yes we exercise. We also relieve stress, reduce anxiety and leave sessions feeling happier and more confident.

On top of PT sessions, Gav attends completing solo workouts.

Could not be prouder of him for doing that alongside the many other aspects of training he is currently smashing 👏

Gav has a better understanding of how exercise can positively impact his mental health. 🧠

Genuinely well done mate. An absolute pleasure.

CLIENT CASE STUDY ✅

It’s hard to put into words what Will has achieved in the last 15 months.

I’ve had the absolute pleasure of coaching and instructing Will as part of a semi private PT group.

Will has developed and progressed in so many areas. Understanding the importance of exercise in relation to his mental health is one of them 🧠

The weekly sessions combine weight based training with cardio elements.

We also use mental health indicators before and after sessions to identify increases in wellbeing, confidence and mood levels.

Could not be prouder of you mate. You work ever so hard.

You should be proud of yourself.

Keep going 👌

RITCHIE MAXWELL 🤝🏋️‍♀️🧠

Cannot put into words just how much Ritchie has achieved 👏

I’ve had the pleasure of spending over 10 years side by side with Ritchie in football.

Ritchie wanted to explore weight based training but didn’t know where to start.

He started with Personal Training. Focusing on fundamentals such as safety, technique and structure. On top of that, we explored how exercise can help improve mental health and confidence. 🧠

Cannot speak highly enough about how hard he works or how he incorporates exercise into daily routine.

Ritchie has now gone solo and is currently training on a weekly basis at .

Just keep going mate. You are doing so well. 👌

CLIENT REVIEW- ROSS McCOLE 👌

I’ve known Ross since primary school. Ross has always been someone who enjoys football.

As that was coming to an end, Ross wanted to do something to keep his mind active and to improve fitness 🧠🏃

Ross had never been in a gym before. We utilised personal training to introduce him to the gym environment, to develop knowledge and understanding, build confidence and to make sure he was comfortable.

He is now training himself where he continues to progress.

You have been absolutely smashing it mate.

You should be proud of everything you have achieved so far. Keep going 👊
