    Experience :

    I recognise exercising/training as a primary tool for improving self esteem, well being, mental health, confidence and losing inches in those unwanted places, but more importantly as a way of having fun whilst also stepping up or fulfilling a challenge.
     
    I have extensive experience of training individuals and groups. I enjoy creating exercise schedules/programmes to meet every clients individual needs and goals in a variety of environments.
     
    As a good motivator, I aim to make exercising challenging, enjoyable and rewarding.
     
    I am committed to personal development having just completed a BSc degree in Applied Sports Science at Northumbria University, a Boxercise Personal Trainer Course and GP Referral.
    Professional Reference

    "I have been training with Ritchie now for approximately 6 months and I know it sounds like a bit of a cliche but this man has transformed my life - well my body at least! I was probably the most least motivated person on earth when it came to working out, making the same New Years resolution year after year, joining a different gym each January for a bit of variety but all ending with the same result - Failure. I think one of the most important things you have to consider when using a Personal Trainer is your relationship with them. You have to feel comfortable in their presence and have faith in what they are telling you will work. This means setting realistic and achievable targets but at the same time still making them a challenge which is exactly what Ritichie has done for me. If you don't believe me - ask my wife who now says she has her very own Action Man!"

    Richard King coached, trained and cajoled me into changing my belief mentally and physically to complete a challenging 50 mile bike ride.
     
    Richard set me the challenge of completing the bike ride. he did this by advising me on my training schedule, my diet and combined this with encouragement and motivation. I did not have the belief that I could attain the level of fitness that I got to and have now maintained for over a year. After completing the bike ride I was left with a great sense of achievement. However, what has impressed me more is the long term attitude Richard has left me with to training and leading a healthy lifestyle. I lost over a stone and half in weight for the bike ride. A year on this weight loss has been maintained. I can recommend Richard unconditionally if you want to either make a life change, or improve your fitness levels, or train for a specific event. Richard was there for me step by step and this hands on approach was what I needed. Richard I can not thank you enough.

    I was bored with the gym and was looking for something different! I contacted Richie to see what he could offer. He took the gym outdoors... (Yes to a field full of grass, buttercups, cows and s...) amazing what he carries in that rucksack! After 8 sessions I am now carrying his weights!!!!
     
    My aim was to get fit and repair or mend the injury I was carrying in my lower back from a fall I had encountered 6 months ago.
     
    The sessions are varied and keep me interested that I come back for more, they include Kettle bell circuits, Boxercise (pad work), sit-ups, press ups (my least favourite) weights and very little rest in between...
     
    Results are that I have lost half a stone, 1 1/2 inches off my waist and hips also the pain in my lower back has gone. My confidence is back so I'm feeling good about myself, and friends have commented how great I look too ... my game of golf has improved ( I have challenged Ritchie to a game. going to get my own back ) .. So all I can say now is a very BIG Thank you.
