The Field Training Lifestyle Centre has completely changed my outlook on health and fitness. This is not your average fitness centre, and Diego Core isn't like you average personal trainer. He has a holistic, intelligent approach to health and well being, focusing not only on developing strength and movement in the body, but also in the mind. Diego is extremely knowledgeable, professional and supportive. I look forward to continuing my journey at The Field and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a tailored fitness experience.

It's hard to even know where to start. I have been going to The Field for several years first just doing Pilates (real Pilates not the look alike you often get in London) and not only is it the most effective Pilates I have ever had - including in NY) it is also the most personalized to one's body, personality and frankly soul. A couple of years ago I then started training with Diego - it was meant to just be for 3 months post New Year's and 2 1/2 years later I have not been able to give it up. While always a gym rat, I have never been this strong or transformed my body to this degree (and I am

I began with Pilates training at the Field and discovered so much more. Life is a journey and as my needs changed, so they could provide advice and support - for example with rehabilitation post surgery and nutrition advice to regain health and strength. All the trainers are of the highest calibre including their acupuncture therapist and masseur. The Field caters for everyone of all ages, all capabilities and all their lifestyle needs

When I met Diego Core three years ago I was so ill and crippled I thought my life was over! I just had my third child and was suffering from pain in every single joint of my body unable to move freely, even going to Disneyland with my kids on a wheelchair! When I decided enough was enough I FINALLY met Diego and it was the start of my body and LIFE transformation. I went from 38 years old crippled to healthy happy joyful lighter full of life and happiness 41 year old! I spent two years seeking medical assistance with no luck or joy to meeting Diego and being FREE FROM PAIN in three months. He introduced
