Not everyone likes going to a public gym. You may have to queue to use the most popular equipment or to see the gym's personal trainers. You may not receive the best advice for your needs and objectives. You may not like signing up to the long term contract.
My whole working life has involved fitness. My career began in 1995 as a professional footballer playing for Bristol Rovers and Cheltenham Town. I will always treasure the goal I scored at Wembley! Football paved the way for me to become a personal fitness trainer. I obtained qualifications and insurance and became a trainer at Castle Royle Golf and Country Club. While at the club I trained other fitness instructors to become personal trainers. After nine years one of my clients at the club asked me to set up a gym at his place of business and train his staff. Unfortunately the business moved after a couple of years and that is when in 2011 I set up my own fully equipped gym in Binfield. This is where I now work and is the ideal place for one to one sessions. I have appeared on BBC Radio Berkshire to give training advice and answer listeners questions on health and fitness
When we meet for the first time I will give you a full fitness assessment. We will discuss your goals, abilities, likes and dislikes and agree an initial plan for you to follow. Your goal may be to lose weight, get fitter or just feel better. Whatever your goals I will motivate and support you to achieve them. Our first session will be free of charge.
Normally this package is carrying out your agreed plan in my gym. Your plan may include increased fitness, weight loss, body tone, post-op recovery, pre and post pregnancy and/or fitness maintenance. I can also do home visits if you are unable to travel or I can carry out training in open spaces. All the sessions last 60 minutes and include heart rate monitoring, diet plans and nutritional advice.

Boxing Training
I can train you to box with the aim of taking part in a amateur competition. The competitions are held to raise funds for charitable organisations. The training takes place at Twyford Boxing Club and you must undertake to bring as many family and friends to the competitions as you can. The more people who pay to attend the competitions the more money is raised for charity. Call or email me if you would like more information.
