My exercise background comes from many years of different sports: throughout my life I’ve competed in track athletics, rugby, football, volleyball, fencing, kickboxing and BJJ.
I have been into sports from a young age and always enjoyed competing so increasing my competitive advantage became a personal interest.

Svilen is an excellent PT and I sought his help for three reasons:
Becoming a mother of two young children left my body feeling weak and foreign to me, I was having problems with stiffness in my spine, and I was struggling with low-mood.
I'm grateful to Svilen because I'm so much stronger (and look better!) than I did even pre-children, my back problems are finally under control, and my mental health is in check (research shows consistent exercise is as effective, if not more so, than taking antidepressants).
Svilen tailors our sessions to my body's needs, he always gives me an easier and more challenging option to try, and our sessions- both indoors and outdoors -are a lot of fun. Importantly, Svilen explains how and why we're doing each exercise and he's sure to guide me when I need additional help.
When I first contacted Svilen for PT sessions, my plan was to complete one batch of sessions and then commit to exercising on my own, but five months later, I continue to see Svilen twice a week and I have no intention of stopping. He's a great PT and a lovely person too- double win!

During our intro session I asked Svilen for specific goals and training that I wanted to follow. He designed my program exactly how I wanted.
The sessions were enjoyable and tailored to the right level for me. Svilen is super knowledgeable and will help you get the results you want!

Working with Svilen has been great. He listens to your goals and tailors the sessions accordingly. The sessions include a lot of varied exercises to keep them interesting and engaging. I would recommend his sessions to everyone, regardless of ability. More...

I gave Svilen 5 stars because he is a brilliant PT, understanding, knows his stuff, makes it fun and has helped me physically big time and more importantly he’s helped my mental health. I was nervous of trying the gym and trying it with a PT but after the first and second time meeting with him, I felt I could achieve my goals with his help and it boosted my confidence! Would recommend to everyone who is struggling to just go from their house to the gym or after work because of their confidence, it’s been 3 months now and I don’t even think about it anymore. Only that I can’t wait to get to the gym! More...

I trained with Svilen for 4 months and the difference in my fitness and well-being is immense compared to when I was a cough potato! Svilen was very attentive especially because of my previous spinal injury. He was good at motivating me on how to lose weight the right way and showed me how to safe exercises with weights (loved the weight training also!). It wasn’t just a PT session, if felt like a good hour of socialising and chatting to a friendly person! He is also very flexible; due to life issues I would have to cancel the night before and he was always understanding! Overall I’m feeling and looking healthier so I am definitely going to continue my fitness regime with him - Thank you Svilen! More...

Review for SVILEN: I have been having regular sessions with SVILEN for the last few months. I cannot praise him enough. He has a calm and positive demeanour , he encourages me in a non pressured way, he is very knowledgeable about human physiology and anatomy and best of all thanks to him I have achieved fantastic results. Thoroughly enjoyable and worth it - I have never been as fit , strong and healthy. Thank you very much SVILEN, Dr Geraldine Dean Age 40 More...

Thoughtful, friendly, engaged - just three of many positive words to describe Svilen. He really cares about helping achieve one’s goals and is incredibly flexible with his programmes around busy working life. He tailors sessions to energy levels on the day and is not the classic ‘boasting’ PT - unless you ask for it! He really understands exercise combinations and muscle groups in a highly scientific, fact - based approach. He has gone above and beyond to provide nutrition and remote based exercise advice. Initially I chose Svilen to help me get up to speed with base fitness, but now see him as a long term fitness partner to sustain a healthy life - thank you, Sir! More...

I‘ve been using Svilen as my personal trainer for a few months and I’ve been really pleased with the results. Svilen is able to create a workout for me which pushes me but is appropriate for my level. I can now really see the results on my fitness and muscle tone. He is very flexible given my work schedule can change at short notice. The workouts are fun and I can tell he really cares about doing a good workout. Very pleased. More...

Svilen is an absolutely fantastic, truly dedicated and highly professional personal trainer. I have been continuing my sessions 2-3 times per week with him for the past over two years! I have experienced huge improvements in muscle tone, overall strength, growing physical and mental energy and positive mind. He has kindly advised me on nutritional intake, improvements in my diet and daily habits. Furthermore, Svilen has helped me to gain a positive momentum as I am recovering from an oral cancer treatment. He has been providing tailor-made exercise plans which have greatly contributed towards achieving my health goals. More...
