| Professional Reference "It is now over a year since Nigel put some science into my training. In the first four months he achieved a substantial reduction in my girth, whereas my fitness levels and skills for cycling really improved. Moreover, my stress levels reduced to the extent that my family and work colleagues commented on the difference! I recommend his services." Surrey “I came to Nigel with very specific requirements in relation to my sports ~ a mix of cycling, motor sports and skiing. He has genuinely tailored my training to suit my needs. By meeting regularly he has also offered considerable variety around the core structure of my programme. The biggest event for me in 2003 has been a four-day cycling tour in France ~ and I felt fully prepared and confident for that. I have enjoyed my cycle training particularly, and also the focus on core strength, balance and upper body muscular work for my endurance sports car racing. In our first four months together I improved in most of my fitness test results and was particularly pleased with the reduced body fat results.” Director at FMS Ltd, Sevenoaks, Kent “I have been attending Nigel's circuit classes in Warlingham since February 2003. When I first attended the classes I had previously been experiencing some joint pains as a result of my running. I was delighted to find that within the first two/three classes, with the careful warm-up and circuit station sequences that Nigel established, I could exercise more effectively and without recurrence of the knee troubles. I have stuck with the Body + Soul classes and now they are a regular part of my training schedule. My joint pains ~ I had a recurring pain in the left knee, which seemed to be aggravated by damp and cold (getting old now!). Although it is still there faintly from time to time, it has very much improved through the classes because you have reintroduced the discipline of proper warm ups/downs for me which I used to be very bad at sustaining when training on my own. My other joint problem was left elbow (tennis elbow) which was aggravated by use of weights. Thanks to your gradual and careful use of exercise regimes, that too is almost gone. Thank you so much for your patient and caring attitude. The fact that you care about what you do for us literally 'shines' out of you. You do an excellent job and long may you continue.” London, SE2 “In April 2003 I ran the London Marathon ~ my first event at this distance. I completed without hitting the Wall and very 'close' to my target time, having previously only run half-marathon events. Nigel was on hand to assist with my final three months of very specific training for the event. His advice proved to be invaluable in respect of progressing my training so that I was on best form, for protecting my knees and in sharing aspects of nutrition for exercise to get the most out of my training ~ well it saw me through the Event itself, and I had a little energy in reserve as I crossed the line.” Post-script to the main text : “Nigel, I really enjoyed the London Marathon ~ and am now close to running my second in Dublin in October! I am using the advice you gave me to prepare for this race and (hopefully) improve on my time for the distance. " Surrey ~ finisher in the Flora London Marathon 2003 | |||||||
