I have been using Richard twice a week and he has been phenomenal. I’m a 5k runner trying to get better and Richard has been nothing short of brilliant. He works with me to determine the best training program and the results have been excellent. Without a doubt one of the best things I’ve ever done! More...

Richard’s a great trainer, he’s good at reading my fitness and energy levels and pushes me hard when he knows I can take it. We started working together in spring of 2022 and comes to my home, early, which makes it possible for me to train around my busy job. More...

Richard has been working with me for over a year now and has really helped me to lose that middle age belly and generally feel in the best shape ever. Having not been to the gym in years Richard gradually built up my stamina and kept me motivated, no mean feet as we train every Sunday at 8am !!! Great guy great trainer I highly recommend. More...

Richard has been my PT for almost a year. I have always struggled to “stick with a routine” but he was able to fit our sessions around my schedule. I have knee’s injuries and he has designed a workout that, although challenges me session after session, never made my knees hurt, not a single time. Obviously we changed our diet and started this journey towards our healthier selves (Richard trains me and my husband) and with some minor adjustments we found a sustainable balance between eating well and staying social. We have seen great health improvements, not only in terms of energy levels but also putting on some muscles mass where needed and shedding some fat on troubled areas. We are looking to continue this journey for the foreseeable future. When we started we were in really bad shape and had very little endurance, but he increased the difficulty so gradually that I can’t believe how far we’ve gone since then. I can’t recommend him enough. More...

I've been training with Richard for last 8 months, my body has definitely changed thanks to his programme since I've started. I feel healthier, stronger and more confident with my body. I've learned from him to get discipline for my body and specially to get the right mindset during this time! Richard is very professional, reliable and always keen to understand your needs from diet tips to exercise, training point of view. I'd definitely recommended it as personal trainer to anyone wants to approach training/ workout and change his/her life style routine! More...

Richard has been my personal trainer since May 2022 and I've lost 3 stone due to the personalised exercises and changes in eating habits designed for me. He is extremely professional, very approachable, contactable, supportive and always willing to discuss any issues no mater how trivial. Also, Richard helped me in building up self-confidence and with his guidance I will undoubtedly reach my healthy goal weight and regain self-esteem. More...

Richard is a very good listener, supportive, encouraging, passionate about his job and always good-humoured, his sessions are challenging, fun and tailored for my needs. He helped me lose weight and go back to my normal shape after the first pregnancy. After the second one, I suffered for two years with really strong backache (due to a fall) as well as severe muscle tension (due to the nature of my work), even the simplest movement such as lifting my arm had become painful. I saw few chiropractors and physiotherapists but nothing would help, I then fell into a vicious circle where the pain prevented me from exercising and I gained weight, which would then put more pressure on my back. I can confidently say that Richard has been the only one who has helped me regain my physical strength with trigger points massage therapy, stretching and through his training. His knowledge goes beyond fitness and it extends to nutrition, health and general wellbeing. More...

Richard trained my daughter, really professional and great enthusiast to help get the best results. You explain what you want to achieve and Richard will put a plan together on how to achieve your goal. All he asks is that you also put the effort in - a very fair request. I thoroughly recommend him and can agree he is No.1 in Bromley. More...

I first started training with Richard back in May 2019 and have found the sessions very beneficial every since. I liked the idea of not working out in a gym and using more traditional methods along with the fresh air. Richard has worked on my diet and implemented a programme to improve my cardio and my shape. Excellent, highly recommended!! More...

Richard has been training me for over a year and has helped me feel motivated to continue and I see and feel the results. His strength exercises are varied and pushes you to go further when he sees you are ready . I find him to be experienced in the autonomy so when I have an issue that happens from time to time he is able to change a routine to not make the issue worse and develop an exercise to help recovery such as when I had a frozen shoulder. I would recommend Richard to everyone. More...

I have had a few personal trainers and Richard is the best thus far. I feel stronger as Richard is obviously an expert how the body works and what muscles need work to get the best strength training and knowledgeable about various training technics. Most important he listens and if, as I have, injury he manages the training with that in mind. I am glad I have found someone of this calibre More...

Q&As

First understand what their goals are. Then agree to a realistic plan that takes everything into account.

Having the resolve to push past obstacles. Establish concrete goals & create a realistic plan that plots your course towards achieving them. When things get tough or you go off track, simply remind yourself of how important your goals are to you & get back on track.

Meeting clients for the first time and getting to understand their unique set of goals. I love the challenge of creating a solution that is unique to each client. Witnessing my clients progress is fantastic!

By starting my own business I knew that I could completely devote my working time to helping clients

Not only will you benefit from the change, you'll enjoy the results :) There will be plenty to learn and much more to do, but I'll be there every step of the way. 25 years experience as a PT helps me understand client challenges at a deep level. I’ve devoted a considerable amount of time to be up to date with the latest evidence based research that will help me form reliable solutions to help you achieve your goals.

I provide support online which includes nutrition support, video exercise programs and remote training sessions using WhatsApp, FaceTime or Zoom.

I continue to maintain social distancing. My equipment is cleaned using a virus disinfectant. I continue to stay informed on current government guidelines & will always adapt my service & precautions accordingly.

Services

I provide a nutrition appraisal followed by guidance on foods to eat, when and how much. Improving nutrition is great for a wide range of goals from general health improving to weight loss and improved fitness.

Some clients want to simply put on some muscle to feel better about how their bodily looks and feels. Increasing muscle mass also improves health & fat burning.

I provide specific training programs to achieve this combined with detailed nutrition.

I’ve worked with amateur athletes and regular clients interested in improving performance in their chosen sport. Ultra-endurance athletes, martial artists, professional dancers/performers & police officers are examples of some I have helped.

I provided in-depth analysis of the clients needs combined with detailed exercise prescription to increase % gains in chosen areas of performance.

If you enjoy punching or kicking a pad then I’ve got you covered! Drawing on my many years as a martial artists I use punching and kicking drills to improve your fitness & fat burning

Nutrition and exercise combined programs to help you burn fat and shape muscles. For health and well being. I have proven and tested systems to help you get on top of your eating/drinking habits and maximise your body’s ability to shed fat
