What people are saying about the Coaching:

"I first approached Simon for help with personal training at a time in my life when I was at my wits end. He felt to me like the only shot of hope I had; and whilst that sounds like quite a dramatic thing to say it is sadly quite fitting for the state I was in. 

At that time I weighed a mere five stone three; and had been battling a severe eating disorder for the best of thirteen years of my life. I knew that I was not ready to die, that I had to change and to recover but up until that point nothing had worked. 

I approached Simon and asked him to help me get back to a place where my body was healthy, where I could do the sport I loved as a child, and moreover where I could live a life and not just an existence.

It was a big ask; and I expected him to say no as many before had. But he took a calculated risk and agreed to help me. He was thorough in ensuring that my physical health was being monitored and insistent that should anything deteriorate or change, we would have to stop training until I got things back on track. He was also quite strict that in terms of nutrition, I needed to seriously change things up. 

We began our sessions using tiny weights, 1-2kg dumbbells, it was light, but it was a start. And over the months and now year that has followed I can wholeheartedly say that working with him was the best decision I have ever made. I am now at a fully healthy weight and my body functioning as it should, I can lift weights beyond my own body weight, and I am entered into my first triathlon in the coming month. But not only that, I have my life back, I can laugh properly, I can enjoy spending time with the people I love, and I can treat food as my fuel rather than my enemy. 

Working with Simon is hard work, he has pushed me at times, but only because he knows that I can do it. He is supportive, and caring and incredibly dedicated to ensuring that each session is as good as it can be. He has taught me the importance of good nutrition, sleep and overall lifestyle. I can’t thank him enough for all that he has done for me, it is a change I never believed possible, but it is the sort of change that with his help, anyone can achieve.

Update from Cat: "since writing this first testimonial I have taken part in my first triathlon. It was the most incredible event; I finished in 57mins, came 14th out 552 overall, 3rd lady out of 346 women and 2nd in my age category. It fills me with such excitement for what the future holds and I know I owe a lot of that result to the help Simon gave me in helping me to build and maintain my strength."

"I know I haven't even completed week1, but am surprised how much I am enjoying it. Had held off so long signing up as I didn't think online would motivate me enough."
