About Us

I started personal training after qualifying in 2003. I thought that people would come to me for 6 weeks or so, get their confidence with gym exercise, or squeeze into their bikini (or shorts) and off they would go. I was wrong about all this, as about so many other things.

The little gym was doing well. The problem was that people who came to me wanted to carry on with their fitness training but didn’t want to go to a big gym. They had learned a lot, didn’t need as much supervision, but wanted to stay – except that personal training doesn’t come cheap, especially when ideally we should do quite a bit of training every week, not just the occasional session.

I introduced sessions where people could book to come and use the gym without one-to-one supervision, but with a programme that was specifically designed for them, and regular reviews with me. This proved popular – it was a lot cheaper.

Regulars at the gym got fitter, stronger, dropped clothes sizes, improved their blood pressure. By now there were quite a few regulars. Hardly any of them were traditional gym-goers, in fact they tended to be more the 'chocolate ice cream and a few drinks with friends' persuasion, and they were certainly not going to give that up. But being fitter and feeling so much better made the fitness habit worth keeping.

We have now developed to offer so many more fitness options, but have kept our broad range of clients and friendly personal atmosphere.
