I’ve been training with Andy for a few months now and I have made progress in the gym far beyond what I expected. I am lifting more weight than I would ever have imagined and seeing more muscle tone. Andy is focussed and supportive and definitely pushes you to achieve the best result you can. He is very approachable and responsive and is a very dedicated PT. Thanks Andy. More...

Honestly cannot recommend Andy enough. I had a little gym knowledge but needed someone to coach me and he's been amazing with me, always happy to help with anything and just a message away if I need him. He's proper canny and we have a good laugh during our sessions but getting a really good workout in as well. I almost don't want to recommend him too much in case he gets too popular and he is taken away 😅 But seriously, Andy is great, very knowledgeable and always happy to change things round if they don't suit you or you get injured. Even offers nutritional advice including calories and macros, which is helpful if you're training for something or wanting to lose weight! More...

Can’t say how much I would recommend Andy! I’ve always struggled with consistency and motivation with the gym and Andy has been so supportive and encouraging. I have been working with Andy for a few months now and his guidance has been amazing. My workouts are tailored to my needs and we have now been able to introduce gradually more challenging exercises as I have progressed. I know I can rely on Andy to give the best advice! More...

Been coached by Andy for a few months now. He takes the time to make sure you are confident doing the excerise on your workout plan, and is happy to adjust them if needed. Would definitely recommend.

Andy has really helped me. Not only with the work out, but with my confidence. His input is much appreciated.

I'm into my eighth week of working with Andy and I'm extremely pleased with how things are going. He is calm and patient (which very much suits me) but still knows how to push me. The help he has provided during, and in-between sessions has been fantastic and I've also found the information in the Quick coach app to be useful too. I have no hesitation in recommending Andy if you are considering your own health and fitness journey. More...

I have been coached by Andy for a few months now and I’m really happy with the service I received. As someone who has been to the gym before and has worked with a personal trainer before and stopped going to the gym for a long period of time, Andy was perfect for me getting back on my feet again. With a wealth of knowledge and information, he gave me great tools for maintaining and continuing my health journey. I have seen great results working with him and I would recommend him to all levels! More...

When I first met with Andy I had already followed workout plans etc but only at home. I found myself in a real slump where I had little motivation and felt intimidated at the thought of going into a gym but I decided to take the plunge and send Andy a message…. Well we’ve only been working together for a few weeks but what a difference a few weeks makes! Honestly I wish I’d done it sooner, Andy is really supportive, encouraging and most of all I feel motivated, he creates targeted, personal plans and will tweak and work on anything that is a specific goal - If anyone out there is thinking about doing some strength training, and you don’t know where to start then I’d highly recommend Andy!

I have been working with Andy for around 8 weeks now and during this time, I have discovered a love for the gym, which I never thought possible. I have always loved doing gym classes but could never get motivated to use the gym on its own. Andy is incredibly supportive and knowledgeable. He has helped me to find an exercise plan that works for me and that I stick to. He is not pushy but will challenge me to work at my limit. I am very happy with my progress, having nearly reached my target weight, lost inches all over and I feel like a much healthier version of myself. I would highly recommend Andy to anyone looking for a personal trainer who is dedicated, understanding and effective. More...

I've never had a personal trainer before, so I've have no one to compare him to. However Andy has set the bar very high. We've worked very hard for the past 17 weeks and have made progress. His support is not only in the gym but regular checks in through the week. Sending recipes etc. In the gym, he is patient and encouraging. Demonstrating unteen times if needed. I would definitely recommend Andy to anyone who wants to adopt a healthy life style. More...

Been working with Andy for 2 months now, and even in that short time he has helped me change my health for the better. He is very patient and knowledgeable, gives 100% support both in the gym and outside of the gym with any questions or advice. He is very approachable and made me feel really comfortable even on that very first session which can be daunting. I would 100% recommend Andy and I’m really looking forward to carrying on my journey with him. More...

Andy is a great trainer who knows when to push and when I've had enough. He explains everything thoroughly and has lots of patience. If I don't like a particular exercise, he will take it out of the plan and do something. great guy xx More...

What inspired you to start your own business?
I have a degree in Business Management and always wanted my own business but wasn't sure in which industry. When I lost a lot of weight and gained a love for the gym I realised that being a PT would be a very rewarding career. I started helping friends and family and studied my PT qualifications and have never looked back.

I don't expect perfection, just hard work, honesty and a desire to achieve your goals.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I only offer online or training plan only packages to client's who I have worked with in person. I enjoy working with clients in a gym setting as it allows me to learn more about you. From there, I can customise your training plans to be enjoyable, efficient and effective. Once we have worked together for at least one month, I can provide you services online if required.
