Purposeful Fitness

Ilia is such a fab trainer. He’s supportive, understanding and works hard to understand what works and what doesn’t for each person he is training.
He keeps work outs interesting and is great at suggesting recipes for meals, and additional equipment that will enhance the training sessions. He is also super responsive when you have any questions between sessions. Would not hesitate to recommend! More...

Ilia is a great coach. He understands your goals and encourages you to get the best out of yourself during the training programme. He is also very knowledgeable and always has a solution to offer. I would recommend Ilia to anyone who wants to really push themselves and see quality results (all while having a lot of fun doing it too!) More...

Ilia is a fantastic PT and I would highly recommend him to anyone; regardless of where you are on your fitness journey. Ilia’s dedicated support, coaching and planning helped me on my path to a healthier lifestyle. He truly exceeds all expectations.

Ilia is a brilliant trainer and I’d recommend him to anyone. He’s incredibly supportive and has helped me progress massively with my fitness, whilst making it as enjoyable as possible.

I can't recommend Ilia as a personal trainer enough. He's transformed my life!

Ilia has helped me achieve my goals gradually through functional fitness and also got me rid of the annoying shoulder pain I had had for years. Now I feel strong and healthy without having to spend money on any fancy supplements.
Highly recommended! More...

Ilia is a top personal trainer with knowledge and experience. My fitness journey has been an awesome experience. Highly recommended!

Having trained with Ilia and Purposeful Fitness, I am achieving all my fitness goals and much more. Ilia not only provides guidance when it comes to training and work outs, but goes further by recommending diet and lifestyle changes that complement the efforts applied within the gym. This holistic approach of the betterment of both mind and body is refreshing, and the results are both seen and felt. Ilia is truly passionate about the approach, and also supports even whilst I am away on business by using the app that he remotely uploads training plans to... a great approach for dedicated and busy professionals.

I met Ilia through my partner, as he first started training with him. I was very impressed with the results just in a month so I reached out to him to start working out together. My purpose was not to lose weight but to get stronger by building up muscle. I have been woking out with Ilia since 4 months now and thanks to him I am much stronger. I am also able to fit in my old clothes as my body has toned up as well. I am so glad I started working out with him not only due to the positive physical impacts but also for all the useful insights he has been sharing about nutrition and maintaining a healthy life style. He is technically very strong and very knowledgeable regarding how to help you get energised. I strongly recommend him as a personal trainer. More...

Highly recommend Ilia as a PT, he has managed to take me from being a 'non - excersiser' to maintaining a consistent 4 times a week programme. He is dedicated to ensuring I am always challenged but goals and targets are achievable, and I am constantly improving my 'personal bests'. His approach and attitude are very positive and am now more motivated than ever to improve my fitness and transform my body for the better. I look forward to continuing to work with Ilia through this journey. More...

Working out with Ilia has been a great experience. I started working with Ilia when I was 95 kgs without knowing where to start and how to progress with my weigh-loss plan. Ilia is a very organised, disciplined and technically competent/ strong trainer. In 2 months, I lost 14 kgs and started to built up muscle thanks to his personalised training programs and diet plan. Along with his strong technical knowledge, Ilia is also very knowledgeable on nutrition. He follows up on a daily basis, schedules work outs for the days you work out by yourself and tracks your performance. He is very good at identifying your individual needs and improvement points. I strongly recommend Ilia ( Purposeful Fitness), working out with him has had a major impact on my life both physically and mentally. He is not only a personal trainer but also someone who cares about your well being and health. More...

I have been working with Ilia for almost a year now and he is the best trainer I have ever had. We works with me on different techniques that match my fitness level and I have seen such huge changes in both my body and my health since working with him. He is great because he gets to know you and creates a fitness plan around your ability that both pushes you in an enjoyable way. Since working with him I have seen such progress in myself!!! Couldn't give a higher recommendation More...

It was an absolute pleasure to have worked with llia, I enlisted his help when i discovered i had become so unhealthy, i had gained weight, was always tired that even climbing the stairs was becomming a hard task. llia worked with me , he looked at every aspect of my lifestyle, it was like having an MOT on my body, he helped me throughout from working out in the park to preparing a personal diet plan for me. In no time i was as fit as a fiddle. llia practices what he preaches, he is one of the fittest guy i have come across so you know you are dealing with someone who knows what they are talking about. I felt supported all through, he designed an online programm for me that even when we are not training in the park and i was training at home it felt like he was there with me at home. He is very accessable and you can call him at anytime and he would respond to you. I highly recommend him to anyone who is serious about their personal health. More...

I hired Ilia Panev as a Personal Trainer at the end of last summer. As I am a banker and I spend most of my time in an office, my goal was to bring more movement into my life, get fit faster and improve my strength in general. I can honestly say, that this guy is amazing! Following his diet and exercise programme for the period of 12 weeks, I have managed to accomplish all my goals. Now I feel exceptionally good, in shape, flexible and strong. He is very polite and professional too. Highly recommend. More...
