| Professional Reference Gary has been a force for good in my life for 2 years now. His unfailing encouragement and modern training methods have enabled me to raise my fitness levels from walking a few yards to running 10k with a smile on my face. He never flags, leads by example and is very good company on a run. If he doesn't know something he will find it out, and if he does know he will impart his wisdom in a non-patronising way. Importantly Gary respects his clients right to be the way they are - I was never criticised for being obese at the start - I was only encouraged to get fitter, which was my stated aim. Only when I decided I wanted to lose weight did Gary help me do this. Regular fitness reviews have really helped to keep me focussed on my aims and to appreciate the changes I am making to my strength, endurance and aerobic capacity. Whatever your fitness level or goal in life Gary has something to offer. (Ms T, West Berkshire) My approaching wedding and escalating weight prompted me to take the plunge and get some help from a personal trainer. I’ve had gym membership for years but with little success at managing my weight and fitness consistently. Gary’s friendly style put me at ease right away despite my concerns at being out of my comfort zone and we agreed on some personal goals which got me well motivated. I quickly settled into an exercise and eating routine which put me on track to achieve my goals and Gary’s magic scales stopped me from becoming too disheartened when weigh in didn’t show the obvious weight loss I had expected (often I would achieve fat loss but put on muscle which disguised the progress I had actually made!) Gary’s knowledge and experience has taught me how to exercise properly in ways I enjoy and can do at home as well as teaching me about how my body works and why. The investment made in gaining this knowledge should stand me in good stead for the rest of my life. All the women in my family struggle with their weight when they hit middle age and have weight related health problems but I now feel that I have tools to stop this happening to me as I go through my thirties. I would thoroughly recommend Gary to anyone who needs extra support and focus to get either get fit or control their weight. With Gary’s help I’m well on track to being the slim & beautiful bride I want to be next April! (Ms O, Faringdon) I decided to contact Gary after seeing an advert in the NCB newsletter several months after having my son Sam. I had got to a stage where I knew that I needed to get back into shape but just couldn't find the motivation or inclination! I bought a course of fitness sessions so that I would be sure to follow the regime and see some changes. Gary was very good - he started with a test of my fitness, flexibility and strength - but nothing too scary! We then agreed a target which fitted in with my hopes and expectations. Due to the fact that I have damaged knees, Gary organized the following sessions to fit around what I was able to do. Gary was supportive and motivating but importantly understood the other pressures that a new mum, and for me a full-time working mum, has on her time and energy levels. Particularly when we had to do our home sessions in Sam's nap time! I was astounded and extremely pleased to loose over a stone and to get much fitter overall. I would very much recommend Gary and he has changed my perspective and outlook on fitting some exercise into my lifestyle. (Dr J McLeod, Swindon) | |||||||
