Testimonials

I have worked with clients with different background, varying abilities and a range of expectations. I’ve made a positive difference to all of my clients, but don’t take my word for it, here is some of the delightful feedback I’ve had.


“Working with Pete has completely changed how I approach fitness. 

I had made the concerted effort to lose weight and was enjoying my new lease of energy, but I felt I needed to exercise. I had tried gyms before but felt uncomfortable and inadequate. A colleague told me how she was having a great time working with a Personal Trainer, so I bit the bullet and went for it!!!

What makes Pete stand out is his deep knowledge, patience, and constant support. He doesn’t just push you through your workout but teaches you proper form and sustainable habits that stay with you.

I never thought I would enjoy weight training, but I absolutely love it!!

I feel more confident and stronger than I have been in my life and I’m only just starting my weight training journey.

I cannot recommend Pete enough for his fun and knowledgeable approach to fitness.” – M.L.


“I am stronger and more physically capable.

I started strength and resistance training with Pete some 15 months ago. My reasons were to reverse muscle loss as I move through my 70’s and prevent frailty into old age.

I had never done any weights or gym work before and being able to learn one to one in private was beneficial, confidence boosting and motivating.

Sticking with the training my attitude to what my body is capable of has changed. I am stronger and more physically capable and this has increased my confidence in many areas for example travelling alone with heavy suitcases.” – S.P.


“Pete showed a good understanding of osteoporosis and how strength training can help me.

I was not sure that I needed to have a personal trainer but since Pete started working with me I’ve realised that I didn’t know the best way to train and having a PT has made me do it which I would not have done on my own.  This has proved to be so important to me given my osteoporosis.” – A.S.


“I trust Pete impeccably to get the best out of me, which certainly would not happen if I was following an online training plan.

Having worked with Pete now for three months I have learnt very quickly how much Pete puts into his coaching. His personal approach encourages me to remain focussed and accountable in all I do and he is always on hand to answer any query, no matter how small it may be. My plan is bespoke to me and always able to be adapted at short notice to take in life commitments. He always takes the time to leave constructive feedback for each session. I’m already making huge gains in all aspects of my training and am excited to see where this takes me.” – N.P.


“Pete helped me to regain my motivation for exercise

I have regularly exercised for a few years but after a stressful time at work and various niggling injuries I was finding it difficult to keep motivated.  Having Pete’s support and encouragement has been brilliant in helping me stretch myself and I am starting to really feel the benefits.  I have never focused on strength and conditioning work, so regular sessions that are easy to follow and adapted to my needs are particularly helpful. – R.B. 


“I’ve been able to push myself so much more than I thought possible.

I’ve always looked after myself with yoga and good nutrition.  However, I realised that I needed to build a stronger body in order to live a healthier life.  Pete showed me that at 80, I was not too late to start this, and I’ve loved it!  The sessions are such good fun and I would never have pushed myself as much on my own.  As Pete says, you need to lift heavy to live healthier.  Pete is excellent at encouraging and motivating me.” – M.S.


“My fellow regular club cyclists were amazed by how much I had improved, having worked with Pete.

I had a specific cycling goal I wanted to achieve, touring with friends in Slovenia.  I came to Pete to see if he could help, and he certainly delivered.  Pete set a training plan for me, working around my other commitments, which was achievable and challenging.  At the end of the training plan I was able not only to keep up with, but even lead out my fellow touring cyclists, most of whom were many years my junior.” – H.T.


“Coach Pete has been great for me as a novice runner.

I had set myself some pretty high goals to reach and Pete has helped me the whole way through. His understanding of how to approach what I wanted to achieve, going at my pace and gently pushing me and building my physical and mental ability to run without bombarding my perimenopausal brain. I don’t know what I would do without him. I’m very excited to see what the next 12 months will bring in my fitness journey.” – R.J.
