Chris is by far one of the best PTs out there. Having trained online with him for many years I can say that I have learnt so much. He is friendly, understanding , welcoming and will push you. There is no other PT I would consider paying to train with. Chris has a secure knowledge base, great understanding. You will not find better. I completely transformed my body, cracked some amazing weights and running Pbs and it's really all thanks to Chris's plans , thorough check ins and dealing with my ridiculous amount of voice notes in-between.

Chris is the ideal coach for anyone who's looking for guidance in learning how to fit a balanced, healthy lifestyle around their other priorities! Over the years that we've worked together, I went from having zero confidence in the gym and scared to venture away from the cardio machines to being an active gym-goer who's comfortable exercising anywhere! Chris has helped me implement better habits that have allowed me to lose over 40kg and maintain a healthy relationship with the gym to this day. I would recommend him to anyone who's looking for a coach who has extensive knowledge, patience and good craic! More...

Chris is brilliant. He keeps me accountable, pushes me to go further, and adapts our training around what I need. I’m far fitter and healthier than I’d be if I was trying to figure everything out on my own!

Trained with him twice a week for 3 years now and went from nothing to an intermediate lifter (did almost no sessions on my own). He's a solid guy that knows how to make you feel relaxed and welcome in the gym. We tend to have a good chat and a laugh about films we've been watching. Ultimately, I know I can rely on him to plan the right work that pushes me without ever overwhelming me. Top lad More...

can’t recommend Chris highly enough. From day one he’s been incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping me improve. Every session is well thought out and tailored to push me just the right amount, and I’ve seen a huge boost in both my fitness and energy levels since starting.He’s great at explaining things clearly, keeps training varied and enjoyable, and always brings a positive attitude that makes you want to show up and give it your best. If you’re looking for a PT who really knows his stuff and actually cares about your progress, Chris is your guy. More...

Chris is a wonderful PT! He completely changed the way I think about training and nutrition and I couldn’t be more grateful for the support I received whilst on his programme. His programmes are nothing like some other online coaching schemes, he’s always available for advice/support and is really committed to your success. Would recommend to anyone!! More...

I’ve trained with Chris for just over a year now and am happy to recommend him. I came to Chris with one request: ‘my physio says I have to do more resistance training and use the hex bar regularly’ and he has delivered on that front in his friendly and knowledgeable way! I’ve never struggled in getting myself along to the gym but what I’ve gained from Chris’ sessions has been spades of confidence in using squat racks, bar bells, trap bar, dumbbells, land mine press etc. Beforehand I was doing mainly swimming, functional movement, yoga, body weight work… which was fine up to a point, but Chris’ sessions have identified and filled a gap in my training really well and given me a sense of accountability and discipline for my own visits to the gym. I always look forward to our weekly sessions, and a big part of this is because Chris has planned what we’re going to do, and always has a positive friendly attitude. It’s amazing how much time is saved by having someone else to grab plates, bars, boxes, set things up – with the result that you do actually complete 3 full sets and find yourself hitting new PBs instead of repeating the same as you did the week before. Chris also sends a voice note at the end of each week. It’s a little recap of the session but also helps you keep the positive mindset you need to work towards your goals. If you’re still reading, it’s obvious that you are interested in maintaining and improving your fitness. I’ve had about 4 PTs in 11 years and each of them have been so different (but all good) – it’s worth talking to prospective PTs about what qualifications they have or are working towards, how long they have been training, and what you want to achieve!

Chris Anderson is a very professional personal trainer. I’ve been working with him since 2020 and I strongly recommend him. He is really flexible with planning and his way of coaching is customised to the client. I achieved great results and thanks to him I am now back to running, 2 10K in the last month! More...

Chris is a fantastic coach with a real wealth of experience and knowledge in his field. His sessions are always well prepared and tailored to my needs, and they are always fun. He obviously enjoys what he does, and has succeeded in passing that enthusiasm to me (unbelievable but true). And he provides great support outwith training sessions helping me over some of the challenges, answering questions and being there to help me in my way when it's tough. I have been working with Chris for a year and I have lost weight, improved my fitness levels beyond my expectations and changed body shape and have more confidence in myself. My family, friends and work colleagues have all commented on the changes in me and I have to thank Chris for helping me achieve where I am today and I am confident that he will continue to support me on my journey. Thanks Chris for being a brilliant coach and I can strongly recommend your services to everyone. More...
