Stories & Testimonials

Everybody has a story to tell. Read what some of my clients say about working with me.

|

I turned to Adam because my excess weight was causing me back pain and emotional distress. I also had plantar fascia and a hand injury which limited my choices of exercise in the gym.

He designed a program that promotes lifelong habits and routines: staying active, eating good and keeping hydrated. This allowed me to lose 4 dress sizes, from an 18 to a 10 in just a few months. I now jog outside or on the treadmill and I’m in the best shape I’ve been in years. I’m in my late 40s, I’m full of energy and the backache is gone.

“Training with him and watching him train others you quickly realise this guy 100 percent knows what he’s doing. I can’t praise him enough from his dedication to making sure you succeed to the fact he’s also a great down to earth guy who doesn’t need gimmicks or easy quick sell diets to make sure all his clients succeed and get what they deserve.” – Will

I started working with Adam with a bulged disc history and a labrum tear in my hip. We worked on strength training, along with mobility and hip stabilisation exercises I managed to complete my Ironman race without any pain.

Adam has got a high technical knowledge about your body and every single muscle function. Apart from the obvious progress I’ve learnt to understand how my body works and the way it relates to my mind.

Not only did he give me new ways to do exercises without pain, he explained to me why I was hurting. He adjusted my patterns of movement. I have become more aware of how to move safely and I have become stronger.

I’ve been training with Adam for 4 months and absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to take their training to the next level.I’ve found that with other personal trainers the exercises are generalised and the focus is on aesthetics. With Adam, sessions are personalised and focused on strength, mobility, breathing, posture and alignment - and he ties everything back to your specific goals.He’s very knowledgeable about the human body and how to get the most from each movement. He explains things in a way that makes it “click” and it’s easy to bring them into other routines. He also includes lots of really interesting resources on his website. 10/10!

I have been training with Adam for about 8+ months now, the longest I trained with any PT. Reason being, it simply works. He is very attentive and observant throughout our session. He provides continuous feedback and corrects the mistakes by actually showing what they are through pictures and videos of me working out. This greatly helps to learn and implement faster. He understands my strengths and limits to help me progress in my training. So far I am able to see the results and it has been a great partnership

When I started going to the gym I only wanted to be able to run for the bus without getting out of breath and have a stronger back as that type of injury is common to my profession. And when I approached Adam after some classes I had no idea what to expect from a personal trainer, 2 (ish) years later and he has completely changed my perspective on exercise, movement and mobility.Throughout a mixture of group classes, one to one and online sessions he starts with a foundation of basics and then builds at a pace which is manageable for my lifestyle but continues to be challenging. If you are looking for someone to stand over you and shout numbers and reps for an hour and then leave he is not the right person. Instead you are taught how to carry out a movement properly, without causing injury, the mechanics behind it of how your body functions so that you have the tools and autonomy to be able to train and improve for yourself. He is engaging, educating and patient and has never not known the answer to my questions but will not do the work for you. Outside of sessions he makes time to answer questions, give support and regularly checks in with progress.For me personally my training has been structured around achieving a particular skill, starting with monkey bars, pull ups then headstands and handstands. Adam then created a plan with specific exercises so that I could then be flexible enough, have the strength and then be able to control the movement. Although weight loss was not really a goal for me, with this training alongside group classes which have also progressed over time, my fitness levels and body shape have improved as a by-product.Even though his training style is designed to increase your ability at being able to exercise well, independently, it is a testament to him that myself and other clients have trained and stayed with him long-term. There is always something new to learn and challenge you and Adam will be one step ahead in planning it for you.

I have trained with Adam since October 2014 - definitely one of the best investments I have made. He is very skilful at understanding how your body (as an individual) functions, and working steadily to improve you, and to undo all the bad habits we get into over the years. He is always professional, and he really knows what he is doing. You won't regret training with Adam.

I love training with Adam. He’s really knowledgeable, passionate about his job, great at tailoring the program to your needs and quick at picking up wrong patterns/weaknesses and providing the right exercises to address them.I was very keen in understanding the way our body works and the way to engage the right muscles for specific objectives and get results. It was so fascinating to learn how many things I’ve been getting wrong while thinking I was training properly. Every session is so enlightening and I've been learning so much until now. I would highly recommend Adam. You will see amazing improvements in the way you train. Wish I had known Adam before.

My Story

I turned to Adam because my excess weight was causing me back pain and emotional distress. I also had plantar fascia and a hand injury which limited my choices of exercise in the gym.

He designed a program that promotes lifelong habits and routines: staying active, eating good and keeping hydrated. This allowed me to lose 4 dress sizes, from an 18 to a 10 in just a few months. I now jog outside or on the treadmill and I’m in the best shape I’ve been in years. I’m in my late 40s, I’m full of energy and the backache is gone.

Training with Adam has been an eye opener because unlike other trainers I’ve had in the past, he puts an emphasis on adopting the correct posture and technique. I’ve been a gym goer for years and thought I knew what I was doing until I met him. Adam devised a workout routine outside our PT sessions which included some stretching, cardio and strength training with the aim to build my endurance and muscle mass to help me achieve my goal of jogging. First, he recommended a smartwatch to monitor my daily activity and the number of steps walked. Soon I progressed to interval style training on a stationary bike and a cross trainer. By now I’m doing interval running. As I had little structure in my days, the plan even included the times I should exercise so that my body would get used to the routine, the length of my workout sessions and the time for my meals.

I loved how Adam was constantly checking in on me, reviewing my progress and making sure I stayed on track. He’d call to see how my training was going and if I was having any aches and pains.

This is the first time when I’ve lost weight without going on a diet. Adam thought me to make the right food choices and perform the exercises he set and the weight just fell off. When I met Adam I didn’t know what to eat to control my weight. At the start of the program Adam recommended I track my food intake on an app which allowed him to view my meals. I then progressed to taking a picture of my meals which surprisingly helped me to be more aware of what I was eating on a daily basis. This visual reminder in the form of pictures helped to be more accountable. Adam regularly discussed and gave feedback on what I need to improve on.

There was a time I didn’t know what to eat to stay nourished and Adam referred me back to the picture of healthy meals I cooked. This is one of the reasons why I really enjoyed not being on a diet or not having my trainer dictate what I should or should not eat. I feel in control, I’m shown what to do and I’m being guided to do it myself. His program has thought me to understand what works for my body. He also stressed the importance of staying hydrated by drinking 2.5L a day. I’ve definitely seen and felt the benefits. I used to have a strange unpleasant taste in my mouth no matter often I brushed my teeth. I always chewed gum to take the taste away. Now the taste is gone and I’ve not had to buy gum anymore.

Due to the lockdown we now have online sessions. I was a bit apprehensive as I was concerned I might not get that one-to-one feeling, or the same level of service. My concerns were put to rest as Adam was just as professional, attentive and present. During the PT, it feels like he’s in the room because he directs and pushes me just as when we were in the gym. The workout is planned and thought through well; he’s engaging and as always very-very encouraging. I don’t have a full gym at home but with the few equipments I have Adam is able to provide a full workout where I’m sweating as if I were in the gym. He has adapted the program to suit the environment. I still continue to send pictures of meals and receive feedback. I also complete a daily form which tracks how active I was, if I’ve experienced any difficulties and if I’ve drank the recommended 2.5L. It’s really nice to see that Adam actually reads my notes.

I’ve been so impressed by the level of Adam’s professional approach and teaching that I got my parents and sister to train with him. Both my parents are in their late 60s, in good general health considering their age but suffering from stiffness, and arthritis. Their feedback has been nothing but positive. My mum says he’s “chouette”. My sister is a lower leg amputee. With Adam’s training she’s able to isolate the muscle above the stomp when exercising, which she has never been able to do since the accident over 17 years ago. She can now perform squats, lunges and other leg bearing exercises without holding on to a wall.

Adam knows his craft. I’ve had personal trainers before but none compare to him. He makes me do things I never imagined I could do. It’s a great pleasure to train with him as he’s kind, firm, encouraging and result driven. His teachings lead to long term results.

Thank you Adam.
