I have tried many different types of exercise and have always found it hard to maintain a regime. Since moving to Cornwall I was keen to find a personal trainer that could motivate me and plan a full timetable of diverse exercise.
Chris has been brilliant at listening to my needs and also motivating me to attain the goals we set. He has got me back into swimming and has helped me to focus my effort with running. He has also given me the confidence to start taking part in races (I already have several booked for next year). With his guidance I have been really focusing on my times and I am now running faster than I ever thought I could. I am also noticing big changes in my body every week. If I keep it up maybe I will overtake Chris one day!

I'm delighted with what we achieved together Chris. If it hadn't been for your support & encouragement (nagging?!) I wouldn't have considered joining EC Harriers, which in turn is pushing me further still. While I'll never be (and don't want to be) a finely honed athlete my running has dramatically improved since I/we began our sessions along with my half marathon race times, and I'm determined to set myself more goals to carry on improving. You pitch it just right and I'd recommend you to anyone!

Chris has been my personal trainer since November last year -some 20 weeks. First of all he asked me what my aims were, followed up with a fitness assessment. He drew up a plan of exercise which suited me. He is professional, and very helpful. My aim was to loose weight and get fit ! I have lost 37lbs, and made good progress improving my fitness. He has been good at motivating, and good at making sure I set reasonable goal.

It is one thing in wanting to get fit but it is totally different getting fit! However since meeting Chris I have started to really enjoy my fitness regime.
Chris always turns up on time, is always prepared with the right equipment and his tremendous enthusiasm and ability to encourage hard work makes every workout fun. Most importantly Chris provides regular feed back as to progress made. I believe that it would be hard to find anyone as committed to other peoples health and fitness as Chris...

I am 52 years old and woke up to the fact that I was overweight and unfit. At 5’9 tall and 14 ½ stone and getting heavier, something had to be done! I did not feel comfortable and was embarrassed to take off my shirt and don shorts in the summer. The answer was not simply diet, but “lifestyle change”. A combination of managed exercise, and eating healthy food.
When I met Chris from www.personaltrainerdirect.co.uk I had already changed my eating habits and now knew the exercise had to kick in to achieve my goal of being healthy, fit and enjoy better agility.
Being busy working and traveling it’s easy to make excuses not to do the exercise and worse do exercise that is not achieving the result you are seeking. Chris was able to assess me on the first visit and come up with a realist achievable fitness program that would allow me to build up my exercise. Chris being a fully qualified personal trainer could help me achieve my goals without fear of injury or strain and at the same time push me and encourage me to improve. All this and regular weekly sessions in the privacy of my own home also meant no fear of embarrassment as some may find if using a gym.
I now continue with my weekly sessions with Chris but have also joined a gym near my work and follow Chris’s program. I have purchased a bike and am cycling and enjoying running now. Having a personal trainer can be the difference of seeing it through and not failing. Chris of www.personaltrainerdirect.co.uk also has made the whole thing fun so that you actually want to do the program as the results become so evident so relatively quickly. Chris monitors and assesses progress made and this is so encouraging in it ‘self. I have seen my blood pressure come down from a high level, now I no longer have to worry about this as it is on the good side of normal. Now just 7 months after eating healthily and after 5 months of training with Chris I am a respectable 12 stone 3 lbs. I have more energy, enjoy far better agility and best of all I feel good about myself and am told I actually look a whole lot better.
Thank you Chris for helping me change my lifestyle and for your knowledgeable encouragement and mentoring...
