ME1, Rochester
I started my career as strength and conditioning coach at the U of Maryland in 1982. In 1986 I moved to L.A. California and become director of health and fitness programs at The Beverly Hills Health and Fitness Club. I then moved to England in 1998 and began my private practice at The RHC in August of 1999.

Over the years I have had memberships in most of the gyms in Medway and I can honestly say that Rochester Health Club is the best of the bunch. The gym is so well stocked that you can change your workout routines on a regular basis and never get bored of the place (and never spend time waiting to use equipment). Membership prices are very reasonable for the amount of equipment and facilities that are available to you. I cant see myself training anywhere else, to be honest👍 More...

A really great gym and the most equipped in Medway for sure. Staff are exceptionally friendly and there is great atmosphere whenever I visit. A very sociable and welcoming environment. More...

Great club lovely people and amazing equipment - but sadly no drinking water fountains - u have to bring your own - no.cold taps to fill water bottles either Basics So that’s why it’s a 2 Their response is you can buy water at the Reception for a £1 for a small bottle

The gym and equipment are really good but the reason behind the 3 stars is that there isn't any water points/stations. Only £1 for a small bottle of water

A great gym all round and the salt water pool is the clincher for me.

I was previously at Nuffield, but after they shut their hot tub, and the steam room kept breaking down and the swimming pool was always full of kids I fancied a change. RHC has a superb Gym, loads of different machines, a great pool, hot tub, steam room, sauna, classes. Basically everything you could want, and their team is helpful and friendly. Will be staying.

Let’s start with saying I never felt welcome from day one at this place. You make eye contact with staff there and instead of welcoming you,saying simple hello I don’t know how hard that is they give you weird stares. Am paying membership for two ppl over £100 and to be treated that way is shameful. Fact you can’t even welcome your members when entering place I mean what else can I say. I do regret not listening some of the ppl who already said same thing. Gym have a lot of equipment and reason I joined is all women’s gym and the pool I can come swimming with my kids. But all women’s gym is small and doesn’t have a lot of equipment I would like to use which is really shame. I feel comfortable there mostly cos of staff who makes me feel very uncomfortable everywhere else. Let me please say there are few amazing ppl there,very kind but ones who are so rude and full of themselves just overpowered those few who are nice. There is one PT guy in particular who I feel works there to make ppl unwelcome and uncomfortable. I don’t go there so often cos of this reasons so I don’t know his name. Also after I went swimming few times with my kids there is been some weird ppl there behaving awfully,nobody came once to ask them to stop or remind the there are other ppl there too. I wonder where was that guy who walks around and behaves like he owns the place and we are all there for free to tell them that behaviour was not acceptable or he rather just makes nice ppl uncomfortable for no reason 😒 All in all once my membership ends there is no way I would come there even if they offer me to come for free. It’s really shame cos place have so much potential and with right management and right staff place can be thriving with happy members. More...

As a returning member after many years absence (due to personal circumstances) I am really impressed with the advances the centre has made. The gym has everything you would need. The ladies only section is a joy. The pool is excellent. The standard of cleanliness is faultless. The staff are friendly and helpful. As a bit of an old codger I feel very comfortable here. More...

Joined for a month to see what it was like , first day had a wobble , second visit more happy , now after 2 weeks will definitely be staying , fantastic club , so many machines , it's got me into gym work as well as swimming , the pool is only 20m but definitely worth it , I can still train , very nice people and considering it's a busy place the club is kept well , great staff , great facilities and now actually look forward to going each time 🙂

Updated since my last review as elements have changed. Pros: staff are great, always friendly and polite. Lots of cardio machines Wide range of weight machines Spa area is nice and well kept Dumbbells and machines are well ordered Cons: peak time I haven't for the last two months managed to complete the workout I'd hoped to, and this is a recent shift. I don't recommend between 1700 and 1900 Shower areas are dirty and there is/was black mould in the showers Fellow gym user manners is -10/10. No weights put back, personal space not observed, dumbbells left lying across the gym. More...

OK, bit overpriced for what it is. Lack of personal approach despite advertised. Disappointed and after 1st session and moved to different establishment. Pricier but far better value for money. More...

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
With sound ,science backed nutrition and exercise. No gimmicks ,fads or social media workouts. I have been doing this for over 35 years . I use three things to achieve my clients goals. 1. Resistance training. 2. Educated nutrition. 3. Cardiovascular program. The resistance training you will do with me. I will design your nutrition but more importantly i will teach you what to eat , when to eat and how avoid to bad stuff. The cardio program has two components to it. Cardio for health and fitness , cardio for weight loss. I will teach you how and when to do both. I will also teach you time management and self motivational techniques for those difficult times.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
Hard work. Patience. The ability to listen. Despite what you may have heard or read,there is no easy way around it. Just be patient. If you do the work it will come to you. Listen to me. Do what I tell you, and you will get everything you want. The last thing would be ,no matter what adversity come's into your life never, ever give up. As long as you keep trying you will get to where you want to be. That I can promise you.
What do you love most about your job?
Watching someone do things that at one time they thought were impossible. A client who get's back into the game of life and is enjoying it again. Educating clients. I want my clients to not only know what they are doing but why they are doing it. Understanding their bodies and proper nutrition is something they can take with them for ever. Making a client laugh.
What inspired you to start your own business?
In 1982 it was all so new and exciting. We did it because we loved it.Then there was no money in it . Every week something new was being published. The science of it all was just starting. I got hooked !I can't imagine doing anything else.
Why should our clients choose you?
There is no one better. That's not arrogance,just a fact. I take my job very seriously. Keep this one thought in mind. When you hire a personal trainer you are saying to someone " I am going to trust you with my health and my body". Don't be fooled. Do your homework. Take your time and meet with at least three before you make a decision. Some people put more time into choosing a hairdresser than a personal trainer. I am a professional. This is what I do. I have worked and studied at the highest levels. If you are serious about achieving your goals. If you are ready to get this done ,then I am your only choice. Even now, I'm trying to help you.
