The kettlebell boot camp is a great way to get fit, and reach your goals, in an inclusive and safe envirment. Christian and the team are more than helpful. Also, after the boot camp is a great way to be part of a group who encourage each other. I would highly recommend Brighton KettleBells to anyone who wants to take part in a group exercise activity.

I am lazy and I don’t like to exercise!Needless to say I needed to do something to stop my body deteriorating into old age while I sat at my desk every day making spreadsheets about spreadsheets. Then I was convinced to go to a January Bootcamp by my girlfriend. I was dreading it and guess what There was nothing to worry about!Not only are the classes a progressive mix of HIT, Cardio and weights, ensuring I wasn’t in agony after the first week leaving me not wanting to go back but the elimination diet is great. I was eating reasonably well before the bootcamp so there wasn’t much alteration to my lifestyle. I’ve been eating better and more tasty food than I ever have. Planning ahead is key and is the main effort you have to put in. The classes are structured and the trainers are all very motivational and kind. If you physically cannot do an exercise (I have injuries) you will not be forced or singled out and often there is an alternative exercise. One week to go now and I’m feeling great, stronger and more motivated. I’m looking forward to the final weigh in, i’ve definitely lost some weight and I will be continuing the classes. Highly recommend. More...

Christian has been my personal trainer for 3 years now, during which time I've sorted out a load of issues related to working at a desk all day, sorted out my diet and am remaining healthy and active through a varied and fun workout scheme. Christian is able to provide up to date help and advice on all aspects of personal fitness. He's also an extremely nice guy. More...

I wanted to get back into using Kettlebells after a 3 year break from them, and a vertebrae in my lower back was in bad shape making me feel like a Stegosaurus! Christians' expertise, understanding of the weakness, plus exercise plans have solved all that and my strength is increasing each month.DEFINITELY WORTH INVESTING YOUR TIME IN YOURSELF AND GETTING IN TOUCH WITH HIM TO BOOK A CLASS!

It's really hard to find a PT that is both friendly and approachable and also know's what the hell they are doing! Christian was training my fiancé for a while and I liked the results on him so much that It convinced me to start training with him as well. He mixes things up so It's never a drag, it's always interesting and the sessions fly by, I'm always surprised when I look at the clock. Although he takes training seriously and has a wealth of knowledge about all aspects of health and fitness, he's laid back and easy to talk to about all sorts of things - from chatting about TV guilty pleasures to wedding plans! I recommend Christian to all of my friends and work colleagues. More...

As far as PT's go, Christian Vila is pretty damn fabulous. His imagination and ability to read his client's mood and state of mind is very impressive and he tailors and varies the workouts accordingly. He has oodles of knowledge and advice which he happily shares and will work with you on all parts of your health and wellbeing to make sure you reach your goals.I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Christian to friends and family. Well worth the money. More...

It wasn't just Christian's bottomless enthusiasm for fitness or his wealth of knowledge around conditioning, strength and nutrition. For me it was how, every single time I turned up for a session, I'd have a new challenge. I'd be pushing, pulling, swinging, flipping, carrying, running, jumping, crawling, punching, smashing my way to a fitter, healthier and happier me. In addition, I received a<span id="moreReview536403" class="hide"> personalised training plan, a nutrition plan and a coach with unbridled motivation to make me reach my goals, even when I doubted whether I could achieve them. <br /><br />If you're dedicated to making a change to your life for the better I can wholeheartedly recommend CVPT. From my personal experience I can honestly say I was quicker, stronger, fitter and healthier in my 40s then I was in my 20s, and that's some achievement.</span> More...

I had personal training from CVPT for a couple of years but had to stop as I moved. Itis probably 3 years since I had a session but the motivation he instilled in me continues to this day. Before my training was a bit aimless and I never got results, particularly regarding weight loss but it's not just the training at the time but the ongoing benefits and learning that are key and I still use<span id="moreReview535994" class="hide"> the knowledge and a number of routines and training programs that Christian wrote specifically for me back then.

I have used a number of trainers over the years and so I know how difficult it is to find a person of will provide exceptional service. Christian is one of these trainers. He has wealth of knowledge which he will use to transform you in body and spirit. All this will be done in an engaging and focused way. Unlike most trainers, he is able to tune into his clients and tailor the training to your<span id="moreReview536033" class="hide"> current level of fitness, which takes great skill.

I'll start off by saying that I've been to gyms and had personal trainers before, and I've never really clicked with it - I find it quite boring and dreaded each visit. I've had one session with Christian and not only was it fun, but I'm actually looking forward to my next session. He's an awesome coach and a very nice guy - I'd be happy to recommend him. More...

Never having been excited by the prospect of any kind of "workout class" it was with trepidation that I let Christian persuade me to go to kettlebells. How wrong I was, a great workout which lets you work as hard as YOU like, and definitely has an effect. Rather than some crazy bunch of masochists it was full of a very mixed bunch that I've got to know well over the months. You don't realise how<span id="moreReview136285" class="hide"> much you have progressed until you miss a few classes and then expect to be able to simply pick up where you left off, that's a hard workout! Kettlebells adds a new aspect to what had become a slightly staid weekly routine for me. Very recognised.</span> More...

I think the ratings I have given Christian speak volumes. I've tried various Personal Trainers over the years and I promise you that none of them come close to Christian. <br /><br />At the beginning of the year my confidence in myself and my physique was at an all time low. I’ve never been “overweight” per se but I was certainly the biggest I have ever been predominately due to medical problems but<span id="moreReview135263" class="hide"> partly due to post wedding/honeymoon over-indulging. I didn’t understand why my weight was what it was as I am a Division 1 basketball player. On top of that I’ve always been a gym junkie and always thought I was eating the “right things.” I was very unhappy and stuck in a rut. I knew I had to do something different.<br /><br />I met Christian in January 2010 after I’d been surfing the internet for a new and innovative form of training. I came across Christian’s website and decided to take part in his 1 month Detox Boot camp, which involved a very strict detox coupled with kettlebell training. It was extremely tough but I was beginning to feel better, sleep better and look better. Feeling motivated by the results I was seeing, I signed up to Christian’s kettlebell classes and come April I approached Christian for one on one Personal Training. I have endured 2 to 3 tough kettlebell classes per week and one Personal Training session per week – not one class or session has been the same! Since January I have lost 8% body fat. Not only am I feeling great and more confident but I have a whole new attitude to food and exercise, thanks to Christian. <br /><br />Christian’s knowledge and expertise in the fitness industry (including diet, nutrition and training) is truly on another level. He obviously loves what he does and this is evident in his enthusiasm during his training sessions. Above all, Christian is a top guy with a great personality and I promise you he will be just as committed as you wi More...

Since I started going to the gym about 20 years ago, I've done quite a few different types of training - heavy weights, circuit training, running, martial arts, aerobics, spinning etc. But having started going to Christian's KettleBells classes in early 2009, nothing comes close in terms of building lean strength and improving core stability. <br /><br />When I was doing weight training in the gym,<span id="moreReview88259" class="hide"> injuring my back was becoming a not uncommon occurrence, but since switching to KettleBells, I haven't had any problems at all, and day to day I can tell the difference in my core strength and stability<br /><br />The other great thing about the classes is that unlike circuits, spinning and others, once you can do the basic moves, there are more advanced moves and techniques that keep you challenged.
