Chris is really knowledgeable and professional. I have done some weight training in the past but approached Chris because I wanted to progress and focus more on power lifting moves and improving these. The coaching and advice I have received is second to none and is reflected in the progress Ive made over the past few months. Id highly recommend Chris to anyone who wants to progress with their fitness and nutrition goals

I have been working with Chris for nearly 4 years now and I joined as an anxious 15 year old and in that time Chris has made my confidence grow significantly and I have made great progress and am now lifting weights I didnt even imagine myself lifting or squatting. Chris is a very understanding and funny guy who can get on with anyone which is why I always look forward to training with Chris as he is always up for a laugh in his sessions but is also able to push you and motivate you to train your hardest and get results. 100% recommend Chris and will be sad to leave when I go to uni in a few

I've been working with Chris online for quite a while. For me, fitness has always been hard work and never something which 'excited' me and as a result my weight had just gradually climbed ever since I left Uni.
Chris has always respected my desire to do things gradually, with patches of higher intensity and patches where I wasn't able to do as much. He has always provided interesting programmes and kept me on track, meaning that I have now got to my lowest weight in 5 years and I'm enjoying my fitness work even this far on from when I started.

After witnessing Chriss success working with my son I decided to see what he could do to help improve my fitness, nutrition/weight (post lockdown and Covid) and help with rehab from a shoulder op. I would never had imagined in my wildest dreams such fantastic results in just two and a half months. Lost 11kg, feel fit as a fiddle and so so much stronger. Chris really knows his stuff, is personable, motivating and engaging and always manages to keep smiling despite the challenges of Zoom/Wifi/phone troubles - usually on my end! Highly recommend!
