How do I achieve this?

Running made it worse. Home workouts were boring. Gym sessions were ok but I wasn’t pushing myself or probably not doing the right things. I was in a cycle of peaks and troughs with the pain and needed to sort it. After weeks of trying to decide whether or not seeing a PT was for me I luckily won a couple of free sessions with Lee and not looked back.

Where am I now?

At my lightest over the last 3 years I was just under 15 st. The targeted training delivered by Lee in group training has helped me not only shed the fat but also strengthen / build muscle and increase my fitness levels. I’m at just under 15.5st now. Lee’s InBody assessment has me at a body fat % of 18. It’s great to realise that it’s not just about weight loss.

It’s about losing the right kind of weight, and that some of your weight is the much needed muscle that has developed during training. My next target with Lee is to get below 15%.  I’m now comfortably running 5miles. I have set myself a target of a 10 miler over the next few months.

I still have treats but now they are in moderation and I see them as a reward for the sessions that we put in.

Compare myself now to the 16.5 st me and I’ve come such a long way. Yes I probably could have lost more weight but we still have to live a little. It’s all about the fine balance. As for my sciatica pain this is now no longer the norm. It’s once in a blue moon. I definitely can’t recommend Lee highly enough. Throughout this crazy year he has continued to deliver a first class service to all his clients and has adapted his services to ensure we all maintain some level of normality. Whilst also developing the studio for us all to ‘enjoy’”.

I’m so glad that I signed up to Lee’s app, as without it I wouldn’t have pushed myself with how Lee has motivated and inspired me.

The app provides a plan but allows flexibility to change things around and having this in place has given me structure and routine during lockdown.

The progress I have made during the first 4 weeks has been great and I have signed up for another block of training”.

Well, I had no need to worry at all! Lee has been absolutely amazing and stepped up his passion for looking after his clients more than ever. Checking up on how they’re doing mentally and physically and has adapted his training online meaning I can continue what I love. 

I am on my second month of personal online training now via Lee’s app and along side this and doing his live sessions I am feeling stronger, leaner and healthier than I have ever felt.

Thank you Lee, don’t know what I’d have done without you”.

I can nip into my garage while my kids are safe inside – no need for a babysitter (they can even join in if they like!). Lee keeps me accountable and motivates me to do my best. I never thought I would get so much out of an online session but it is testament to Lee’s knowledge and skills as a personal trainer how good these sessions are. When we get back to normality, I will be begging Lee to continue on with these sessions in addition to his usual methods of training. I feel physically and mentally stronger and more energised”.

I have slimmed down to a point that people who know me are noticing the change. I have lost inches and have gained so much strength and stability. I went to yoga for the first time in years and was able to do the slow reverse push up into cobra from my toes in such a controlled way I know it was due to the strength I’ve gained from this programme.

If you don’t cheat yourself and can motivate yourself to get up and do the work, the program will pay off. It works!! And I’m happy to be continuing on this journey with Lee”.

Personal Training is much more than simple advice about exercise, Lee has designed a programme for me as an individual.

I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease three years ago; looking back I had symptoms for at least two years before that.  I consider myself to be fortunate in that I am not severely affected.  I can do most daily tasks but I had started to notice that I would work around or avoid many simple things.  I would like to be less dependent on tablets.

I am really glad I started training at an early stage, with help from Lee many of my outward symptoms have reduced.  In particular I have been better able to walk, balance and do other complex tasks much more easily.

The training programme needed concentration and commitment from me.  It has been tough, but Lee has motivated and supported me and it has been rewarding to make progress that I never believed possible. 

I am really pleased and feel more positive about the future.

I first met Lee six months ago when my teenage son had a knee injury whilst playing rugby right at the beginning of the season. My son needed scans and physio etc. but also needed to keep himself fit in a safe way as well as strengthen particular areas that would protect and support his injured knee. Lee showed great empathy and professionalism and both my son and I were very impressed. I was so impressed and reassured by his approach that i decided to also talk to him about me.

I’m in my mid 50’s and, over the years, have probably tried every kind of exercise fad, gym membership, personal training etc. with mixed results. The last 7 years have been a particular challenge with major health issues involving chemo and numerous operations, the most recent being on both my knees, and I just wanted to be able to move without being in pain.

I have been lucky enough to train with Lee now for over 6 months and at each session I am still truly amazed at what I have achieved and am still achieving. Training with Lee has been such a rewarding and refreshing experience and something I genuinely enjoy.

His sessions are always on time, fully planned and prepared, varied and personal to me and my needs and I have complete trust and confidence in his approach. His communications are always polite, considerate, timely and fantastically encouraging.

My son and I greatly appreciate everything we’ve been able to achieve with Lee and have no hesitation in very highly recommending training with Lee ….and I could go on!…. but I will just say that whatever your level of fitness or needs, book a session just to chat with Lee to see what can be achieved. You won’t regret it!”

However, we’ve landed on the next best thing with Lee creating a weekly training plan built around the objectives we’ve agreed to achieve my goals. So far we’re 20 sessions in and I can really see and feel the difference.

Through the wonders of technology we’re in touch pretty much every day swapping notes on how it’s going and allowing Lee to make adjustments to the plan, to keep raising the intensity, keeping it varied and pushing me to work as hard as possible.

I still feel the same “pressure” to complete the session, to work to the max and not to disappoint myself or Lee! I can recommend this to anyone who might not be able to get to see Lee in person or like myself has to travel quite a bit and wants to take Lee’s great work and expertise with them.”

When training with Lee I always push myself (and he pushes me) much harder than when I train by myself. This, along with the way that Lee structures his classes, has really helped me with my strength and stamina.

Lee clearly enjoys what he does and manages to keep the classes fresh and enjoyable by regularly mixing things up. I would happily recommend Lee to anyone looking to improve in their general fitness whatever their current level is.”

It has been 6 months now (the longest which I have ever stuck with an exercise programme) and I look forwards to the weekly sessions.

Lee is energetic, committed and inspirational and I would definitely recommend him.

My overall strength and fitness has improved so much in such a short space of time.”
