optimum physique

I had PETER Jawor as my PT at optimum physique from 2007-2013 and then I moved to Australia. I have had personal trainers since 1999. He is by far and away the best trainer I have ever had. He has excellent knowledge and communication skills. He takes a genuine personal interest in your health and fitness - something that is rare in PTs. He makes exercising fun too. He was so good that I recommended him to both my friends and patients to help maintain good health. PETER and his team will take good care of your health!! I thoroughly recommend him!Professor Kim GreavesConsultant CardiologistBSc, MBBS, MD, FRCP (UK), FRACP.Comsultant Cardiologist More...

Individualised attention. Exercises highly specific to your sporting needs, and if one has any back problems there is a very good and supportive programme for improving core strength as well. There are also excellent opportunities for small group isometric strength and aerobic fitness training. I was advised to come to Optimum Physique after a major back episode and have been coming here regularly for nearly five years. Can't recommend it highly enough. More...

I have used personal trainers for a number of years, as I recognise that without outside help I will not be as fit as I want or need to be. Peter is far and away the best trainer I have come across. Every session is different and yet complementary to whatever I am doing. For instance, if I am about to go skiing, the exercise sessions will be angled towards those specific needs. Equally, if I turn up to a session with a niggle in my back or neck, he will relentlessly pursue that problem until resolved. It helps that he has trained in chiropractic techniques and has a deep understanding of the relationship between skeleton, muscle and exercise. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone seeking long-term fitness and mobility. More...

I have been training with Peter twice a week for about 12 years. I am now 73 going on 43! Still able to do everything I could in my 'youth' plus some. My favourite sport is ski-ing and Peter is, amongst his many other talents, a ski instructor so knows all the exercises to get and keep me fit for my annual ski trip.He is also brilliant at sorting out all my various aches and pains that have come and gone over the years. He knows every bone and muscle by name and sorts them out if they start complaining. I recently had a painful hip problem and feared a hip replacement was looming. However a few weeks of specialised exercise and deep massage and all is nearly sorted!Wherever we have exercised over the years - and we have rarely been in his studio - he has managed to turn the area into a first class gym using every passing tree, post and wall and the occasional swing and climbing frame and a collection of brilliant, portable, equipment. He makes every session fun and I cannot recommend him too highly. More...

I‘ve been training with Optimum Physique for over 5 years and the improvement to my health and wellbeing has been incredible. Kasia and Peter are very knowledgable and really lovely people too. From day 1, Kasia understood my goals and knew just how much to push me to get me to where I wanted to be and within a year I could see muscles I never knew I had, I was a new super lean me. Having had two babies since she has helped me get back to my shape again within just a few months and I keep getting comments from people like they can’t believe I have two children. Kasia has also been a real help at times when I’ve suffered from various injuries and her knowledge has been crucial in supporting me with physio exercises to help me recover. My training sessions with Optimum Physique are an invaluable part to my fitness and wellbeing and all I can say to anyone looking for a personal trainer is if you’re looking to be the best you can be in terms of fitness, look no further then Optimum Physique, they’re worth every penny!

I am a 75 year old and have been exercising with Peter twice a week for twelve years. Basically started in order to try and maintain some kind of physical fitness in spite of suffering from Fibromyalgia and CFS for many years. I do not have much energy and experience the recurring pains of Fibromyalgia but he is endlessly patient and caring and if I am only up for massage that is what he gives me. ! He is convinced I am fit enough to ski next month. ...... We shall see ! More...

Fantastic place/facilities to train. I have been training with Kasia once a week for over two years. Kasia created a personal programme to strengthen my back and increase my core stability. I have not had any back problems for nearly one year now. Kasia has also helped with the odd netball injury incurred and her knowledge is incredible. I look forward to my weekly sessions and would highly recommend. More...

I have trained with Peter for years and I loved every single session. He helped me recover from my long term back issue - when I started I was in a lot of pain. Peter helped me become much stronger and gain confidence in my ability to use my back efficiently again. His expertise and understanding of the body is incredible, he’s got a real passion for the subject and is very generous, kind and able to motivate people extremely well. I really appreciated his person- centred approach and focus on what I needed on the specific day, I always felt very safe and supported. I have never met a better trainer. Thank you Peter . More...

I have been training once a week for an hour for the last five years. I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and wanted to build and maintain my physical fitness. There is no doubt I am fitter and stronger and more flexible than I was and managing to keep the worst affects of PD at bay. Most people are not aware that I have PD and I put this largely down to Peter's skill in working on my core strength, posture, balance and co-ordination. My husband comes too and Peter manages to keep us both interested and on our toes by varying the tasks and equipment. More...

A very smart studio with the latest equipment. Peter and his team give you the best of personal training. Very good value for money - and one of the few places where they help with a no nonsense, comprehensible plan of attack on the food and drink front. I dropped a few sizes very quickly. Peter focusses on all round mobility, posture and fat loss as well as the muscle build that suits you. The effort is so worth the reward as the results start to come through very quickly with supreme energy levels and focus as well as the body you want. Love it, thanks Peter! More...
