The sessions with Carl are always fun, challenging and very rewarding. I would highly recommend personal training with Carl whatever your fitness goals are. More...

This time last year, I had the goal of running the Torbay half marathon for the first time. I am glad to say with the support and guidance of Carl at South Devon Fitness, I managed to complete the distance in 1hr 53 minutes. The training was excellent in every respect, and on the day I found the run comfortable which was a surprise. I continue to have sessions with South Devon Fitness to maintain my exercise level, and I am now looking to run the half marathon in Plymouth and break my personal best. Thank You Carl for all your hard work! More...

As someone who was initially intimidated by using gyms and not your typical gym goer, I found Carl exceptionally kind and professional. I have been having sessions for the past 4 years and I have lost over 3 stone in weight and improved my health no end. I would highly recommend using Carl regardless of your fitness levels. More...

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
I feel the key to success in achieving goals is creating a good working relationship between me and my clients. It is important for my clients to be able to trust my judgement and expertise.
I am a personal trainer that believes in long term progression and manageable lifestyle changes. I do not endorse quick fixes and I always take an holistic view of my clients overall well being.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
I think it is more important to have a body that you are happy with. I want to help to give my clients the confidence to enjoy their body, and be able to make the best of it.
I feel this is best achieved by implementing gradual, sustainable and progressive exercise plans, that meet goals along the journey.
What do you love most about your job?
I love helping people gain confidence, and feel good in themselves. The idea that a person will live a longer happier life because we did a little exercise together and it wasn't too difficult. I love the interaction and social benefits of working with people, and building good relationships.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I worked at a 5* hotel and Spa for the past year as a Personal Trainer and I enjoyed this immensely. However I now feel that I want to make my services more accessible to everyone, not just the more exclusive end of the market. I am driven by the passion for my job and that is how I want to live my life. I am also able to now offer personal training at a much more affordable rate than I have over the past year, and this has enabled me to work with a wider range of people.
