Graham Whitehead Health

Following two years of doing very little exercise, Graham was just what I needed to motivate myself and get back on track. Graham is friendly and approachable with a wealth of knowledge on fitness regimes, diet and healthy lifestyle. Graham assessed my situation and listened to my goals. He gave me advice on diet, supplements and gave me a personalised exercise routine to follow when I was not working out with him. I have noticed a positive change in my fitness level, flexibility, posture and overall well being. I really enjoy my sessions with Graham and would highly recommend him to anyone. Overall excellent.

Graham is highly trained in exercise, nutrition and their impact on the human body. His workouts are varied and challenging and he is adept at providing bespoke advice. His approach is holistic - lifting weights alone won’t work unless sleep, rest, food and hydration are in balance! He is able to convey his impressive knowledge in terms that are simple to understand and treats his clients very much as individuals. More...

I’ve had a wonderful 18 months training with Graham and plan to continue. From a standing start of very little exercise and really disliking training I now look forward to every session with Graham. Exercises are both varied and focused and I have seen tangible results in strength and physique. Graham has real intuition and knowledge for what works for you any given situation. For a recent ski holiday we spent 6 weeks focusing on leg and core strength and this led to the best ski-in for 20 years because of significantly increased fitness. Graham does not generally subscribe to the “no pain no gain” approach which is spot on for someone at my stage of life (40). That is not to say that training is easy but rather than mindlessly “beasting” clients can be counter-productive. Thank you Graham you are someone who really cares about your clients - highly recommended! More...

Graham is a first class personal trainer -every aspect of my fitness has improved-his attention to detail is excellent.

I spent 8weeks strength and conditioning with Graham for my golf. The results regarding my stretching and all round ability has improved drastically. Being able to sort out my posture so that this gave me the widest possible swing arc has meant i can now hit the ball even further..but also being able to increase stamina was a key aspect. Still got a long way to go but much improved and very happy with performance so far. Want to get fit for golf - go see Graham! More...

I recently started a circuit class with Graham along with a few other people of varying shapes, sizes and ages. Graham is able to quickly adapt his techniques depending on the individual in the group and takes time to explain the purpose of the exercise and likely benefits. His easy going nature makes the sessions enjoyable and a far cry from the military boot camp style that many others adopt. More...

Graham has helped me with a couple of issues over last few months. Firstly, I contacted him because I had put weight on and am developing a 'paunch belly. ' He was very helpful and sent me a link to his ebook which was very enlightening. Within 10 days I had lost 4kg and was back down to my normal weight, mainly thanks to a focus on healthier eating.
Then I have been having problems with a condition in my foot called Plantar Fascitis. This can be very painful and debilitating at times which is a problem for my job as I'm on my feet a lot of the time.Graham sorted me an appointment at short notice and did an hour long assessment. As well as suggesting pain relief and techniques to help, he put together an exercise programme to help stop the problem at source, which was actually my neck and back. I am starting the programme now and looking forward to sorting my body out!
Graham is friendly and professional and I would definitely recommend his services. More...

I have been training with Graham for nearly two years now. I lost around 1 stone in our earlier engagement largely through a tailored training program and a focus on healthy balanced eating and life style. I have kept the weight off and maintained a stable diet and exercise regime. My body shape has changed for the better too and noticed by lots of my friends. Graham’s approach to training is completely different to anything I have experienced before. I have had other PTs who take more of a boot camp approach to training. Graham asks how you are feeling, how much exercise you may have completed yourself (if any) and tailors a session accordingly. Often I like to go cycling so he will factor this in and maybe not focus on cardio as much. I have a fast paced, high pressure job with involves a lot of travel to London and often a lot of PC work. We do exercises to counter my desk position and also if I am feeling a little tired or pre-occupied we will focus on zone exercises to stimulate energy flows. Do not be misled, this is not an easy option. Grahams’ sessions are challenging and varied. I love training outside and he also accommodates this!! We have trained in sun, wind, rain and snow!! Invigorating! Sometimes myself or sometimes training with my partner which is fun and of course becomes very competitive! He just accommodates us whatever we throw at him He is always punctual, professional and very reliable. A guru in personal fitness, health and wealth being. A game changer and a life and wealth being changer. Thanks Graham. More...

I am still on my journey with Graham but wanted to write a review to recommend his services. Back in January 2017 I searched for a trainer and found Graham who seemed to suit my needs the most. I was in a very low place with my self belief and after having a sedentary job for the last couple of years wasn't sure how I would find training again. My challenge to Graham was to make me happy again. I never thought I would love going to my sessions quite so much and so much that I stayed on after the initial 3 x a week for 3 months and had an additional month and now also do a weekly core conditioning class. My weight, health and self belief has improved immensely and I found strength that I never knew I had (oh and he succeeded as I am very happy). Graham is great at pushing me in what he knows I can do (and it does amaze me at times). I cannot recommend him enough and thank you Graham for everything you have done (and the journey isn't over yet!). More...

Graham has been an excellent trainer. He has made me have a new approach to fitness. Through strengthening exercises and changing my diet I now have tonnes more energy and I have strengthened crucial areas that were so weak. He tailors the workouts to meet my needs and he has given me so many additional tips and new exercises that I can then use and do on my own anywhere. This encourages me to workout more and more. I look forward to my weekly session with graham as I know he keeps me motivated and we progress more and more each session. I highly recommend him and thank him for the help he has given me. More...
