Ricardas Mongela

If you want results Ricardas is the PT you need. He has huge experience across many fitness disciplines and his sessions are adapted for YOU! you won't be turning up for generic workouts you will be tested but rewarded with the results you want whilst getting the support you need. More...

Having trained with Ricardas for 4 years, he is enthusiastic, professional and loves his job.

Since I've started with Ricardas, I've lost several stone and am now entering fitness competitions - something completely unthinkable before I started training with him. His encouragement has taken me from someone who absolutely dreaded fitness and training to someone who would quite happily spend every spare minute in the gym.

He also has an encyclopaedic knowledge across a wide range of sports and equipment, and he enjoys sharing it; I can personally vouch for his expertise in bodybuilding, weightlifting, strength, conditioning and crossfit, and I know he's coached professional bodybuilders/strongmen previously. Even after 20 years in sport and training, he still wants to keep learning and developing. This extends to his own training; the exercises he asks you to do are ones he does himself, and he's quite happy to explain the principles behind all of the routines/exercises he gives.

Ricardas is also supportive, adaptable and fastidious about safety; I've had sessions where he's been able to invent new routines to work with the limitations of my body and he's more than happy for you to message him about exercise routines and nutrition in between training.

The sessions themselves are normally fun but hard; as other reviews have said, he'll push you, but you'll quickly notice the changes and feel in better condition and stronger than before. (He also has an unerring knack for knowing where the line is and when to stop, as well as knowing your capabilities, even if you don't)

The sessions are also varied and Ricardas likes to continually add new things into the mix to stop things getting repetitive, something he's managed to do even after having trained for years with him. Even with the current pandemic, he's still managed to create varied workouts that need minimal equipment and deliver sessions via the internet.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Ricardas as a personal trainer to people from all training backgrounds (beginner or veteran, or even with health conditions), and I've personally recommended him to close friends and family in real life. More...

The best PT! Out of my three year journey had my best progress with Ricardo made me believe In myself and get the results I wanted! Gained confidence in all gym equipment and self confidence. Stood out from the rest due to his personal strength and cross fit training techniques More...

I’ve seen my body strength increase so much but also in a very balanced way. All workouts push you but Ricardo is also good at not pushing you too far. He is great at getting you out of old routines and gets good results in less time. More...

I can not speak highly enough of Ricardas. Not only will he help you achieve your goals, his knowledge and experience is vast.
I can honestly say I have enjoyed every session with him, how ever tough it gets. Teaching new routines safely and encouraging you to reach another level are also his strengths.
I can thoroughly recommend him.
