Mike is an excellent trainer who quickly gets to know your level of fitness and tailors sessions so that you improve steadily without feeling you've been through an endurance test! In 3 months my muscle strength either doubled or greatly improved when measured against baseline measurements. Mike is friendly to work with and sessions for me are via Zoom and really convenient. As I've never in the past been able to sustain visits to the gym or making myself do regular exercise, it means I now actually do the work and am experiencing the benefits - I can highly recommend him.

I can highly recommend Mike - I've been seeing him since November and was delighted to find that my baseline scores for muscle strength had either doubled or greatly increased when measured again recently (I'm retired, so no spring chicken, either! ). The sessions are via Zoom which is so convenient - I've tried going to a gym or making myself exercise but never kept it up. Knowing I'll be seeing Mike is a real incentive to exercise regularly especially when it can all be done at convenient times at home. Mike quickly got to know the level of work that suits me and gradually increases the level as I improve - this means I always feel I've worked out but not leaving me feeling like I've been through an endurance test! Mike adapts the work to a level that suits the individual, whatever their age. if you're looking for an effective, reliable, friendly personal trainer, definitely go to Mike! More...

Mike is a fantastic personal trainer and a great guy, I can't recommend him highly enough. He is careful to tailor the sessions to your level: I find them exactly right, so that I feel energized not exhausted afterwards. The results are impressive: I made a dramatic improvement in just the first six weeks. He always varies the exercises so its enjoyable and never gets boring, and there are handy optional online workouts inbetween the in-person sessions. I am feeling a lot better since I started with Mike. More...

Following a period of serious illness working with Mike has helped me to rehabilitate my stamina and muscle tone as well as my all round physical fitness. After a careful assessment he set me a program of realistic exercises on which we have worked together to ensure maximum progress and benefit. He has always been supportive, encouraging and motivating but is equally able to “push” his clients to help them achieve their personal goals and get the best from his interventions. He is knowledgeable and experienced in all aspects of physical health and wellness so should you be looking for a professional personal trainer to help with challenges such as rehabilitation, fitness, improved health and wellbeing I would highly recommend Mike.

Great PT! Mike was my PT in london, coming to my home twice a week for a year before moving to Brighton. He put together a variety of fun and effective one to one workouts that worked all muscle groups safely and effectively with enough variety to keep them interesting! Excellent nutritional advice and hands on physio when needed, I’d certainly recommend Mike to anyone looking to train one to one with a PT or as part of a group session.

Just want to say thanks to Mike, who's an amazing personal trainer! He's helped me to lose weight and stay fit, and I'm so grateful for his support. I started working with Mike because I wanted to lose weight and get in shape. He created a personalised training plan for me that was challenging but doable. He's also always there to motivate me and help me push through tough workouts. I've lost over 8 kgs (dropped 2 dress sizes), since I started working with Mike, and I feel better than ever. If you're looking for a personal trainer who is knowledgeable, supportive, and motivating, I highly recommend Mike. He's helped me to achieve my fitness goals, and I'm confident he can help you too.

I have been having PT sessions with Mike now for 5 months and have seen a huge improvement in my strength…as someone who did little resistance training he gave me exercises that have helped build muscle and improve my (awful! ) balance. He is very encouraging and really listens to how you are feeling each session and adapts the workout accordingly. He is great at pushing you and building confidence by ensuring correct technique to avoid injury. A 5 star trainer would not hesitate to recommend! More...

Mike is a great PT.Our weekly sessions together are fun, tailored to my goals and really varied and he clearly has a wealth of knowledge backing up everything we do. He's motivating without being at all pushy and I feel totally safe as he's very careful about form and checking for injuries/strains. He's very flexible about where and when we train and just generally great company.He also designed a couple of workouts for me to do in my own time which were tailored not only to my goals but also to the equipment and times available to me, which I really appreciated. I've even enjoyed those workouts far more than others I've done alone before because there's more structure and accountability and I'm confident that I'm doing the right things in the right way for my goals.I've been really pleased with the results after only about 2 months (after years of half hearted strength training with no really guidance, it was just a month before Mike had me finally doing full push ups!) and it was a great bonus that he's taken measurements and recorded my performance along the way so I can see the results so far in cold hard numbers.I would absolutely recommend Mike to anyone.

I am so pleased I chose Mike to be my personal trainer! I was a bit nervous as I wanted a trainer to come to my home which could have been wierd, and have a history of lower back issues and scoliosis so I wanted to make sure the workouts were suitable. Mike is brilliant, he has put together a varied programme of exercises that are both fun and effective. I'm 16 sessions in and am really impressed with the results and feel great. Would highly recommend Mike and have no plans to stop training with him. Really impressed. Thanks so much Mike! More...

Mike is an outstanding PT. He's reliable, professional and a great communicator and his personal training sessions are consistently demanding, interesting and personally-tailored to ensure they are as effective as possible for the individual.

His knowledge of injury rehab has also come in handy more than once, and integrates extremely well with his training. In my case, he's helped me to rehab a number of minor sports injuries and, crucially, to keep training around them, enabling me to maintain fitness and recover more quickly than would otherwise have been possible.

He's also provided a clear, structured programme to recover and rehab from more serious injury over the longer-term. Since starting to train with Mike, I have lost weight, changed my body-shape and got far fitter, stronger and healthier than I was before and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone whether seeking a general improvement in their fitness or rehab from an injury.

I had a number of personal training sessions with Mike at the end of 2015. I found him to be extremely helpful and down to earth. He challenged me to do things that were difficult but did not set me training targets that were totally beyond my reach. Perhaps most importantly, he gave me the confidence to try out a number of different exercise classes which have proved very beneficial. The only reason that I did not carry on training with him was because I started to spend a lot of time out of London so it was simply not convenient - otherwise I would have readily continued to use him as a PT.

Personal Training with Mike is just awesome. I was unmotivated and complex about my weight, until i met Mike. In six weeks, I started noticing a positive change in my appearance and i became more confident. Mike is a hard worker, (knowing my health problems) he really focused on helping me achieve my goals and by giving the tools to grow such as different home exercises and small diet tips to keep me fit. Every session is challenging, innovative and fun. My fitness has increased and I’ve seen improvements in my ability to complete different exercises such as pilate and cardio. Mike is extremely jovial, reliable and punctual. He always set up and ready to start training on time, with an exercise routine planned.
