Working with Terry has been an excellent way to get back on track and re focused on general everyday choices which we have to make.
I would recommend Terry, the skills and experience Terry has are second 2 none. More...

Thank you Ronny, appreciate your trust, patience and efforts. Now we have the answer and progress never look back. Keep me updated with the results

I could not recommend Terry from Engage Fitness enough. I recently completed the 3 month programme which exceeded my expectations. I went from being a greedy couch potato and heavy drinker to someone that makes much healthier decisions whilst still enjoying the foods I like and occasional drinking. I am now at a point where I enjoy exercise – something that I would have never thought possible just a few months ago.

Terry spent a lot of time at the start understanding my goals, habits and lifestyle. Off the back of this he tailored a programme which really worked around my busy home/work life. Rather than overwhelming at the start Terry simply increased the intensity of the work outs and diet recommendations as I progressed through; I barely noticed this. I have lost (and kept off) over a stone in weight however the fact that I have gained muscle means that physically it looks like I have lost more weight. The programme Terry created was manageable and achievable meaning that I have continued this past the 3 months. The benefits I have experienced during and since the programme are:
- Increased fitness, stamina and energy
- Increased confidence as I look and feel better (receiving plenty of compliments along the way)
- Clothes that had become too tight now fit
- Sleeping better
- Less stressed at work and much more able to cope with long hours whilst having two young children at home

This whole experience has been much easier than I expected given the rewards… If you want to become healthier and lose weight I would urge you to contact Terry. This was one of the best decisions I made and was worth every penny! More...

Amazing consistency and results Chris. You made it happen. Keep up the good work and look forward to the next stage!

I've had a great, and very successful, fitness journey with Terry. I l lost the amount of weight I wanted to lose, and the great thing is that I've continued to do so in the time after the program ended. I'd put this down to the strategies Terry provided - easy to follow ways to stop overeating. I really thought it wasn't possible for me to lose weight - I told myself I was getting too old, my metabolism was somehow too slow, all kinds of things, but after being on this program I'm delighted with how I look and feel.

I really enjoyed the workouts - I had done weight training before, but Terry suggested a lot of exercises that I wasn't familiar with, and I felt spurred on by that. Through Terry's motivation, I never missed a gym session - I would never have believed I'd do that at the start of the program.

Terry also helped me with the mental side of things, and helped me to put in place habits that have supported my mental wellbeing.

I'd really recommend this program. I can now look at myself in photographs and feel proud again, and that is worth the fee in itself, but it's more that I have a sense of belief and motivation that I didn't have before. Thanks Terry! More...

Chris, thank you. Really enjoyed our time together, you went above and beyond through some challenging times. So good to see that fire in your belly again. Keep driving, keep being curious and never go back!

I thought I had a good diet, and was exercising well, but couldn’t understand why I wasn’t losing weight. After starting with engage fitness I realised I was completely wrong, but that all I needed to do was make some small adjustments to my life, and the results have been amazing. Not only have I lost weight but I feel stronger and have more energy. More...

Brilliantly consistent effort Vikki! And exciting times ahead - well done. Look forward to seeing just what's possible for you.

I haven't fully started working with Terry yet but he has still been in touch every day since we first spoke with words of encouragement and advice, and has sent me a comprehensive package of digital tools to support me. I have a really good feeling about working with him: he's very personable and approachable and I definitely think I've found the right coach. More...

Terry has been an incredible guide to me as I've worked to lose weight, and I want to thank him for that. Without Terry, I don't believe I could have accomplished what I have.
When the pandemic began, I started working from home, moving less, and eating more. Since 2020, I've gained over 20 kg. That is a lot. I tried a variety of things, but nothing worked for me.
I had a gut feeling Terry was exactly what I needed to start developing better habits and a better lifestyle when I first met him here on Bark.
And I was right. Since then, I've shed 11 kg, increased my activity, and improved my eating habits. Without any stress or headaches, everything happened naturally. Terry was there for me when I needed encouragement to keep going. Thank you so much, Terry, for that. More...

Thank you Marianna. Brilliant achievement in 3 months and of course now that mental strength, understanding and tools to keep going on your own! Been an absolute blast and really enjoyed working with you to make this part of your life 'click' an all the benefits it will bring. Keep up that momentum and never look back.

I originally contacted Terry because I wanted to improve my fitness for football, and to stop binge eating. I have definitely achieved those two things and way more!
I knew I needed to change, but had no idea how to do it. Through the weekly support sessions Terry taught me about nutrition, how your mindset affects all your decisions, and how to make better decisions.
I am/was very resistant to changing, but Terry kept suggesting new things to try and was very persistent which is why I was able to lose 19lbs and completely change my eating habits.
The daily support messages/videos were very helpful and kept me on track, as Terry helped me through various challenges that cropped up and kept me focused on my goals.
This was especially useful during periods of lower mood, as it allowed me to rethink and make the best decision I could at the time. There is also no pressure to be 100% perfect, and Terry did not make me feel terrible if I slipped up, just focus on making the next decision.

Alongside teaching me about fitness and nutrition, Terry has been helping me improve my mindset and mental health. I have learnt a lot more about my own emotions, and how to reflect and learn from past situations. I still have a lot more to learn in this area, but have achieved things I never thought was possible for me. This includes finishing the 3 months with a 4 day holiday, that 3 months ago would have been impossible.

My life has completely changed (for the better) over the past 3 months, and this was definitely down to the support from Terry. More...

What a 3 months Pippa! You have done exceptionally well - gaining understanding, physical and mindset changes and overall control. Thank you for your kind words. Looking forward to supporting you in the next stage. Time to show the world just who you are :)

1.2m steps and 45lbs lost in 3 months

I've posted the numbers above as it might grab your attention but they certainly ain't the full picture. In fact, I see them more as a positive a side effect of the work I did with Terry.

Most likely like many others, I wasn't sure about remote coaching when I first made my enquiry. By the end of an initial, no pressure conversation with Terry though, my mind was made up. This can and will work!

The focus from the beginning was on life and health changes and the creation of new healthy habits. This was in the context of my overall goals, but importantly, always with a mind as to what would realistically fit in around my busy life.

The attention to detail, the focus and the support throughout was exceptional. Terry spotted when things weren't working before I did and adapted the programme to accommodate. 1 to 1 calls, along with daily video and text messaging, encouraged and reinforced my commitment to making the change.

Sure, the output is weight loss and improved fitness. But I’ve done all that before and slipped backwards each and every time.

The work with Terry is different though because I’m left with the package to sustain the changes and continue to drive forward. The knowledge, the control, the mindset, the confidence and the commitment to achieve current goals and to set new, more ambitious ones.

I’m flying solo now and there’s no doubt I’ll miss Terry. But I’m a different person to the one I was just 3 months ago, and I’ll be more than ok.

Finally, just to say thank you Terry. It’s no exaggeration to say that you’ve helped me change my life forever. More...

The physical results are of course phenomenal. But as we agreed from the first call, I want you to change your life for those moments and your long term control and enjoyment of life. Thank you for allowing yourself to be coached and responding with full commitment. Been an absolute blast guiding you and putting the world to rights on our calls. Wishing you all the best for the future, first mountain peak reached now go find the next Stephen.

What an absolutely incredible journey the 3 months has been. I cannot emphasise enough how much it has changed and improved my life. I have completed fad diets before (keto) and had some success but I have never been able to keep the weight off, during this process I have lost 2 stone and genuinely look, and more importantly, feel the best I have in years.

I was sceptical about having a remote personal trainer as I was not sure about what could be achieved when I was 200miles away, but this is what set Terry apart from others I spoke to. On our first call he spent time understanding the nature of my job, my personal commitments and barriers I have had in the past. He then explained the approach to this 3 months in the same way I would approach a project at work. This clicked for me, and completely changed my mindset. By focusing on the personal reasons why I have struggled before, but applying it to a framework where I have had good results (my career) it made the transition easier for me.

In terms of the actual program, Terry tailored it completely to me. Had occasions where I was unexpectedly working away for a week, but also working from home. I was hesitant to attend a gym at first (as I wouldn't have a clue where to start) and there was no pressure from Terry. He built the program around what I had, and then as my confidence grew, and I made the decision to push further, he offered great insight and training guidance so I was not intimidated by the gym..

The nutrition guidance was eye opening, and although I started too extreme Terry worked with me to find a balance. Encouraging me to do things that I enjoyed (go to the football) and find a way to have a balance between enjoying life and making the changes I wanted to do.

The program wasn't always easy and personal circumstances made it challenging about 7 weeks in, but again the support from Terry was outstanding and he adapted the program at this time to help me.

I cannot thank him enough, he has massively helped my confidence in an area I have struggled with for 20 years and was truly an outstanding level of support. The communication is as much or as little as you want, and I found the calls we set up worked with my personal and work life brilliantly.

I recommend Terry completely and would highly recommend this program. More...

Dan, was brilliant working with you and your efforts and commitment reaped the rewards. Never look back and do not underestimate what you have achieved. Look forward to that coffee and garage training session. 😁

It was an interesting and insightful time working with engagé fitness. I have learnt so very much.
After years of post cancer medical, anti depression medication, I am off all meds. I feel physically and mentally so much better.
I have learnt how to enjoy exercising. I have brittle bones, so I have a cage in an ankle, metal knee and knee cap, plates in my wrists, cage in my neck. Lymphoma. All exercises was done for my personal abilities. They was altered and tweaked to gain the best workout.
The scales didn’t move hardly, the body measurements didn’t either. However my clothes was looser, my swimsuit which I hadn’t been able to get in for 2 years is baggy. So things did work out. I have kept up the eating plan, and feel so good.
The scales have just started moving.
Stick at the plan. Don’t loose hope.
Also I learnt to be honest with myself,
I would and I will be highly recommend engage fitness. More...

Reply from Engage Fitness - Health and Personal Coaching

Brilliant tenacity and determination and thank you for staying the course and trusting the coaching Amanda. Like you say the scales do not tell the whole tale and some amazing health changes and a system you can now use to keep the results coming.

I have always been aware that I have to manage my weight and have been very active about it since I hit a size 18 when I was 18. I have over the years been, slowly, educating myself and have used the gym quite regularly and hired PT's before. This always gave me results but they never lasted. Now in my 40's I found it difficult with the changes, that naturally happen, in my body and finding my regular/previous methods no longer worked. I needed help to lose my furloughed/pandemic weight.

I had an initial call with, Terry, to explain I have the discipline with exercise but I am very lacking in my knowledge of understanding food and the balance in macros that can help me exercise better. I have been wanting to lose a stone, which I was just unable to lose, and asked, Terry, to get me there, in a sensible time frame, but also design a plan where I incorporate it into my life going forwards.

Over the last 3 months I have reached my goal and I have learnt so much that I know this will sustain me going forwards. He is the first PT that explained why I wasn't seeing instant result and he told he told me to "trust" him and actually told me when my body would react to the changes I was making and then the results would happen and they did. That was invaluable knowledge for me. Terry's workout plans are different to others I have done and better.

I would highly recommend, Terry, if you want to achieve and feel you can do this on your own once the programme is finished. More...

Thank you for your kind words Carla. Was brilliant working with you and you made my job easier with your trust and patience. Keep up the good work and stay in touch!

I've always been so inconsistent with a healthy lifestyle & weight-loss. After multiple shots at slimming world & fad diets, in November 2021 I decided enough was enough. I was really unhappy with my lifestyle & the way I looked. I came across Terry, we had a call, and I went for it.
Once we got started, I knew this would be life changing for me.
I started at the end of November- a bit dubious starting in the run up to Christmas, but it meant I was much more aware of my food & alcohol consumption. With the addition of exercise, it meant weight gain over the Christmas period was minimal, which was great!
Terry was exactly what I needed- 3 months of pure focus, coaching me through every step and most importantly holding me accountable. Terry checked in with me every single day so I never felt alone- this is what kept me going. He also helped me train for a 10k race which I was really strong for & really proud of. Aside from the physical benefits, I found the program very powerful mentally and I made some big changes to my lifestyle.
Thank you Terry for everything. I've come on so far since starting with you. You've set me up with the tools for the future and I am determined to keep going. I actually look forward to my runs and workouts and I feel amazing!
If you are willing to put the effort in, Terry will get you the results! More...

I had a great time working with Terry! I was sceptical about online coaching but was quickly reassured by the level of support I received from Terry. He was understanding, patient and was able to fit around my lifestyle. After working together for a few months, I am confident that he’s equipped me with the knowledge and habits I need to move forward - thanks so much Terry! More...

Great getting to know you Rebecca, well done for your drive and consistency, keep up the good work. Here's to the next dress size or two! I wish you all the best for the future.

I found out about Terry in one of my worst days, and honestly it was the best step I took in my life.
I would be lying if I say its magic and everything will easily change in a second, nobody can change in a day or two.
But what I can confidently say is that Terry knows how to put you in the right track.
Honestly after going through so much and losing and gaining weight all my life, I finally feel that I found a stable life-long plan.
I do not feel the stress of having to give up and binge or say its not working, because there is nothing that am giving up on 100%.
Sometimes when we struggle for so long we stop seeing the obvious and we start trying to find complicated, fast, special tricks, unfortunately this leads to repeated failures.

Terry taught me how to live again, what to focus on, how to lose the extra weight in a healthy way but also how to become stronger and how to look at food normally again.

If you feel fed up and lost and sooo ready to do something right in terms of losing weight and being healthy, I highly recommend talking to Terry and trying his 3-months-programme.

No words can ever thank you enough Terry, all the respect from all my heart! I just finished my 3-months-journey a couple days ago and I learned how to love myself again and how to appreciate life, and am ready to begin and improve more every single day! More...

Thank you Nafous, was amazing getting to know you and helping you finally make that switch. Yes almost 25lbs lost but most importantly the habits and mindset epiphany and strength to keep going for years to come. Totally blown away by your commitment and consistency all whilst working a seriously stressful job. Huge respect and admiration. Keep up the good work and stay in touch.

I was lucky to find Terry, I needed more than just a new diet. I can say I have tried them all from Slimming World, Slim Fast, Noom etc. But all these were quick fixes.

Terry has equipped me with how to live healthily and happily. I have been able to lose weight whilst still enjoying life, from meals/ drinks out to having a take away. He helped me get my mind positively set and in the right place to lose weight and get my life back.

Terry has supported me throughout and I couldn't have done it without him. I would recommend him to anyone who needs that kick up the backside whilst having all the support you need. Everything is tailored to you. I needed to put me first and I was taught how to do that.

Thank you for helping me get my life back on track Terry. More...

I’d stepped on the scale and after recoiling in horror, I’d realised I needed help and that kick up the proverbial. I’m a fulltime working mum of two spare time is at a minimum and I just didn't know how I could fit in any exercise in or even start doing anything like a workout or making the changes required to
get any results… plus we’re in lockdown!

Luckily, I found Terry online. He has a world of knowledge and expertise. He is so encouraging, realistic, positive, proactive and personable. He designed timed workouts to fit into my busy schedule and gave me so much advice about food and has introduced me to some lovely meal options too.

You definitely wont get empty promises or any quick fixes which wont work anyway, what you’ll get is professional advice that is tailored to you and your lifestyle and situation. Even though the workouts are challenging, its all designed for you for what your goal is. I have achieved the results I was craving, but more than that the tools for long lasting results. I cannot recommend Terry highly enough. If you want realistic results, Terry is your man. More...

Came across engage fitness at a time in my life when I was looking to make a change not just physically but mentally. Over the last 3 months I have finalized a divorce, walk out from a high preasure job and moved home and I STILL lost weight, changed my outlook on life and gained priceless knowledge in how to feed my body.

Terry definitely knows what he is doing and even though the idea of online personal training wasnt my first choice I can say with complete satisfaction that having the daily contact in place over the once a week f2f PT has meant that I've been able to achieve my goals with minimal meltdown!

I have spent my life over weight, bouncing from one diet to the next, I've paid personal trainers for gym seasions, signed up to boot camps and followed countless celebrities. I have been great at losing weight but Ialways put it back on. The last 3 months have taught me that slow and steady is definitely the way forward! I no longer starve myself, spend hours planning ridiculous meals or kill myself doing hours of workouts. I tick off my list of things I need to do and I actually enjoy my life! I have time to spend with the kids, I have ME time and I still lose weight, have a happier work life balance and a positive mindset.

I would and have recommended Engage Fitness to any woman looking to really make a positive difference to their lives.

Thank you Terry for changing my life for the better 😊 More...

What a 3 months Amy 😉. Thank you for your kind words and faith. The big three life's stresses navigated and emerging stronger. It's hats off and respect to you and looking forward to continuing that success (and you only ranted at me two or three times 😏)

I had great results on this program! Very pleased with the outcome...
I signed up to it because, for me, I knew I needed to commit to something that was harder to walk away from after a couple of weeks than if I'd done it on my own, but equally I needed a program where the changes I was making felt more long term - this was perfect. I felt that there was enough oversight by Terry that made sure I changed what needed to be changed but, equally, I still had to motivate myself to do it so I had ownership over the choices in a way I'm not sure I would have done if I'd just been meeting a PT at the gym and turning up because I had arranged to. That ownership of the choices I made is ultimately why I think the changes will last longer and why I think this program is a great one. I once again feel in control of my eating and health in a way that I had lost over the last few years...
Terry was fun, friendly and hugely supportive throughout and a great source of knowledge on all sorts of sports related topics which certainly helped me feel at ease right from the start (and resulted in some really interesting conversations and book recommendations that I'm still working my way through). These conversation were all related to the program but equally went beyond it and demonstrate how Terry can engage with his clients on different levels. He helped me understand what I needed to do while also maintaining great flexibility in what he was asking of me to make sure it could fit into my life - everyone is different and I'm sure that everyone's experiences on the program will be different but that's probably its strength - finding what is right for the individual.

Thank you Beth, always about the communication between client and coach and finding that connection (as you well know 😉). You absolutely smashed the physical and mental resurgence. Your full engagement made my job a lot easier. 2 stone off, renewed enjoyment of training and that purpose ongoing. Really enjoyed the musing and chats and wish you and the family the absolute best going forward.

Terry is an absolute star. Entering this program was a very impulsive decision. I just told myself that I would do this 3 months as per his advise. I am glad I did so as I lost a total of 4.5 -5 kgs with his guidance. He set out a great workout regimen that he changed often. I expected to be on a low calorie diet and a lot of workouts. Man was I wrong. He gave me a more than decent calorie intake. Workouts 3-4 times a week. He made sure I was able to achieve this with my hectic schedule. He was extremely supportive and funny. He helped alleviate a lot of fears I had regarding diet and weight loss which I can't thank him enough for. I feel my confidence has increased with regards to weight loss and surely feel stronger. My clothes fit better and lot of my blod results have normalised. To anyone who wishes to go on this path, I would say trust the process 100% because Terry will surely guide you perfectly. Thank you again Terry! More...

5 stars! Terry is kind yet firm and makes an effort to help you stay on track. He taught me a lot about hydration levels, how your cycle affects your weight and he really showed me how to love food again, ALL food, not having to cut things out. Workouts are tailored to your lifestyle and what you need and can do so they do not become overwhelming. Brilliant three months! Got myself the best head start in my weightloss journey with 6 kg off for GOOD, no more going up and down. More...

It's been amazing Tamsin and most importantly breaking those habits and regaining control now ready to fully enjoy life!

I came across Terry online searching for some help. I had a phone consultation and decided to give it a go! I have struggled with my weight for many years- I've done Slimming World, Slimfast, Weight Watchers, Noon, 5:2- but nothing has really helped long term.
I was a bit dubious about online training, but actually it works really well. Terry uses online tracking tools which you log in to- track calories, excercise and get advice. One of the best things is the speed of communication... 7 days a week. Terry answers questions, makes suggestions, gives feedback and motivation EVERY DAY ... You know he is on hand if you need assistance.
One of the things I was amazed at is the fact that I didn't need to have really low calories to succeed! Terry advised calorie and nutrition goals, and it worked!
The workouts set were targeted to my needs and skill levels with accessible videos and demonstrations via zoom. I also got some resources by post.
Terry is a great coach, a friendly and funny guy whose commitment to his clients is clear. I really recommend this course. What I have learned has been life changing in the sense that I know how to set my own goals, and work towards my general fitness and wellbeing. This isn't just a weight loss programme- this is a more holistic approach.
I was happy with my weight loss- but delighted with the change in my fitness- I have even developed a new interest in walking up hills!!
All whilst working full time, coping with a pandemic and raising kids. This man succeeded in improving my health where everything else had failed. More...

An absolute pleasure Sarah, thank you for your kind words and huge efforts. I know just how hard you worked to make it happen. 18lbs weight loss, all those cms and mostly that iron will and mindset switch is the real result. Keep up the good work and when you smash the three peaks let me know 😁 Phoenix indeed, can I swear now!?

I've been working with Engage Fitness since September 2020. Initially I had some reservations about online coaching in general and wasn't quite sure whether it was for me. In my years of training, online coaching wasn't something I had ever done before or initially considered. I honestly wasn't quite sure what to make of it. However upon speaking with Terry in our first consultation and discussing my gym/exercise history and what I was looking to achieve during the initial timeframe (12wks), I was instantly put at ease. Terry's straight forward and knowledgeable manner and his experience working with women gave me the confidence that he knew what he was talking about.

Working with Terry and the programme he put together helped me re-build my confidence and reignited my enjoyment in working out. I have always been an active gym goer and a fit person. Somehow however, I lost my way. I had developed some bad habits; not eating properly (or at all; generally skipping meals to the point of significantly under feeding my body), having a disjointed view on exercise and a big lack of motivation. I despised my appearance and what I saw in the mirror. I was quite open and honest about this with Terry, and his openness, guidance and the fact that he listened to what I said helped me to rediscover my way. He made me realise that this journey I was about to embark on, I wasn't doing this by myself. He was/is there along the way providing his guidance, support and encouragement.

Tackling my food and developing good habits was the key and first step for me. Having the accountability, motivation and direction helped me to stay on track and celebrate every milestone (not just the kgs that came off). I found the programmes fun, addictive, varied and challenging. Before I knew it, I found my mojo and haven't looked back since! Aside from the physical changes I noted on my body; dropping of the cms and the weight going down on the scale, I noticed a positive shift in my mood, that I was sleeping better and that I was overall happier. I haven't quite reached my goal, however given the success of the first 12 weeks, I decided to continue for another 12week block.

Terry's support through all of this has been paramount. There's no judgement when the weight might bounce around, just a question and an understanding as to why it happened. One of the best parts of his online coaching, aside from the support and motivation, is the encouragement to always do my best and achieve the best, staying focused on my goals and keep in mind why I chose to make this change. I'm definitely a convert to online coaching and having Terry as my trainer. I'm very excited to see what the next 12wks will bring and me getting closer to my health and fitness goals.

If you're unsure on whether this is for you, I understand perfectly - I was much the same. All I can say is that you won't be disappointed once you start. The support you receive from Terry is not only encouraging but addictive and before you know it, you'll be on the path to feeling like the best version of yourself. I only wish that I had started sooner - but I'm all the more happier and thankful that I did start and make this change. I didn't start for anyone or any specific event, I started just for myself, my mental wellbeing and my own long term happiness. More...

What can I say about my time with Engage Fitness. I have been on the programme for 4 months and to be honest I never in a million years thought I would get this far. I am one of those people that start with very good intentions but quit after few weeks. With Terry you won’t he will guide you through the good and bad times and I have had many believe me and probably drove him crazy!!
I would advise anyone that is not sure about online coaching it may not be for everyone but I would at least give it a try you will be pleasantly surprised.
Thank you Terry for everything you have been great. 😊 More...

What a journey Sarah! So glad you took that chance and are now reaping the rewards. Keep prioritising yourself and onward and upward!

This is a great programme for steady sustainable weight loss. It's not a crash diet, much more about changing habits. I only had about 3-4 kg to lose but I wanted to know I'm going to keep it off and get toned up. Terry responded to my feedback on which exercises I enjoyed and which I found harder to keep going with. I've found a new love for a tabata and have a good understanding of how what I am eating is affecting my weight and energy levels. Happy with my results- thanks Terry! More...

More than welcome Sarah, glad you now have the tools to keep those results long term and still enjoy life!

Came across Engage Fitness 5 day challenge online . Initially was a bit apprehensive but so glad I took part .
Lost 2 1/2 lbs by just eating sensibly.

I had gotten myself into a rut , finding it difficult to lose weight and feel confident and comfortable with me !!
Terry was informative and supportive, advising me of how to make good food choices along with an exercise programme that suited my lifestyle and one that I could manage . This was all done from the comfort of my own home wasting no time , Terry checking everything online and support there when I needed it , was actually really good .

After 3 months I dropped a dress size , feel so much better within myself . I am fitter than I’ve been in a long time , body feels toned and I’m confident again. It’s also so good when others notice and ask what you e been doing ?

I would highly recommend Terry , there is no hard sell and he will get you where you want to be . I invested in myself for a change and it paid off .
Don’t hesitate to make that change, it’s hard but worth it .

Thanks Terry you are a gentleman and a star 🌟 More...

I did the 5 day challenge with Terry and was very impressed with the results over the short period and decided to proceed with the programme. I have tried every diet, shake, juicer, etc out and nothing works long term. Have been working with Terry on my health and fitness for nearly 6 months and am feeling fitter - I’ve lost over a good amount of weight and inches and feel in control and able to continue with this learned body weight training and food balancing with the aim to continue on my weight loss journey. Terry has been amazing support - I’m so glad to have met him and work with him. Highly recommend anyone who is struggling and lost their way to reach out for Terrys help and support. More...

It's been a blast Martine, testament to your hard work-- so glad we got you that breakthrough. Keep it coming!

In June this year I was admitted to hospital again due to my asthma. On being discharged I decided I needed to make a change to my life. A hesitant clamber on the scales showed I was measuring a whopping 138.79 kilos.
So my first thought was to try one of the diet paths I had tried in the past. My second was that if I was this weight the past experiences obviously hadn't worked. I needed something more!
I did some extensive research and decided a personal trainer was the way to go. On searching and checking reviews I came across Engage Fitness. I was quite hesitant at first as it was online and not face to face. How was this going to work if I wasn't going to be accountable? Surely if nobody was watching I would slip back to my old ways. How wrong I was!
I have now been working with Terry for nearly three months. He held an initial chat with me and we discussed the fact that being severely asthmatic would impact what I could do. I didn't need to worry. Terry was able to put together a plan for me that took into account the asthma, with training that I could do that broke down the barriers. Added to that a suite of online tools meaning that I was able to track food and training which he was able to monitor. This gave me the accountability that I needed, and he was very quick to give advice on my daily activities, checking in every day to see if all was going well.
All was going incredibly well, each time I measured myself I had lost centimetres from waist, arms or thighs. I was feeling so very positive. My step count was flying. Until I got an injury. I was tempted to stop, to feel sorry for myself and slip backwards.
This was the point that Terry rewrote my programme to include training that I could still do whilst unable to walk without crutches. A whole new programme to meet my current situation.
I haven't made it easy for him with asthma and injuries. However at the start of the journey Terry set a target to get to 126kilos within the 90 days. At the end of the journey I am there! Constant support throughout, weekly coaching calls via Zoom that provide humour and advice, and a definite feeling of being an individual rather than just another member of a club.
I will be continuing my journey with Terry. He has given me a great insight into how I can train and lose weight whilst not impacting on my day. It simply becomes part of the daily routine. And although I have gained a lot of knowledge I know myself that I have a long way still to go. And Im delighted that Terry will be by my side supporting me on the rest of the journey.
If you are feeling hesitant, if you feel that online isn't for you, give it a go! What have you got to lose, except unwanted weight? What have you got to gain? A dedicated trainer who will guide you every step of the way, a positive outlook on life, a new you.
My thanks to Terry - delighted at meeting my target today and smiling madly! More...

Thank you Gilli. Been a blast so far and a team effort. Here's to the next few stone!

My goal when I started training with Terry was to loose a little weight, gain more shape and tone up.
I was a little worried moving to online that I would go backwards/ stop making progress but I needn't have worried. Terry is such a supportive and knowledgable trainer.I have now lost , 2 inches off my waist and hips and I continue to feel stronger and healthier.I honestly couldn't recommend Terry enough.

And that 7kg weight loss and smashing press ups right!! Keep up the good work

If two years ago someone had told me I would be training online I would laugh them out of court! So I was happily trying different diets, ‘posh’ London gyms and PTs. . The problem was, instead of losing my post pregnancy weight and burning chocolate calories, I turned my size 10 body into an unhealthy size 16. It had to stop. But how, especially in this lockdown... ? It was that morning I was randomly Googling my training options , I came across Terry’s profile. It was the last chance for me, I went for it.

Only eight weeks later 7.5kg less on a scale, size 14 dress fits quite well, my confidence has dramatically risen...

You won’t be offered quick fixes, the empty promise of a model figure in a week or anything that will put your long-term health at risk. Instead, you will get sound training advice, tailored program and expert guidance on nutrition, all supported by scientific research and a real understanding of the human body. Thank you Terry.

Credit to you Edyta, huge life changing result. Total respect given the demands on your time and energy. Allowed yourself to be coached and your tremendous commitment to yourself means you can really have that control and success for years to come!

I’ve been working with Terry online since January this year and would thoroughly recommend him as a Trainer.

Having been fairly fit in the past I had completely lost all motivation but Terry helped me get my exercise mojo back.

Terry takes the time to get to know you and understand your individual circumstances, goals and motivations. He then builds a bespoke programme of workouts which fit in your lifestyle.

Weekly check-ins ensure you feel supported and motivated throughout. I saw results very quickly and felt much stronger and more confident. More...

Thank you so much Anna, trustingnyoubnow have the tools to keep smashing those results long term. Stay in touch and keep up the good work 👍

I have been training with Terry consistently since February and it has been great! Terry understood exactly what I am looking to achieve out of the sessions and given my work schedule and health objectives, he was able to come up with a plan that is absolutely compatible with my lifestyle and schedule. He is certainly very knowledgeable and therefore I feel safe in how much I push myself but Terry is also sensitive to how tough it is to achieve health and weight goals and so he ‘pushes’ sensibly and with sensitivity.
In two moths (sessions twice a week) I have seen my body strengthening and taking a firm shape! I feel much stronger and confident and as a result, I improved at the same time my running and tennis.
What’s more, Terry always makes sure to motivate me for exercise even when I am travelling - which I really appreciate and his sessions are always fun, despite the hard work!
I will certainly highly recommend Terry Young. More...

Very kind words Thalia, thank you. Keep up the good work!

Had struggled with weight for years , tried everything but couldn’t stick with anything, then I saw the ad on fb for Terry Young, thought I had nothing to lose by doing the 5 day trial.
I’d always saved up my calories to binge on rubbish in the evening to make myself feel better, but Terry re-trained how I thought about food, I stuck to what he said by eating more to lose more, and before the 5 days were up I had so much more energy to tackle the day ahead. So I signed up with him, the workouts I can do whenever, when you have a full day you can just do as and when, the motivation has been excellent and 4 weeks in I am 1lb off losing a stone and I’ve lost 10cm off my waist. I could not hav done this without the constant support
Thanks Terry and let’s say good bye to the next 2 stone👍 More...

Thank you for your kind words Kate. It's a partnership and you have had faith, put in that effort and now reaping the rewards. Onward and upward!

Terry is a very personable and enjoyable trainer. Superbly knowledgable and makes the sessions a good laugh while pushing you to your maximum. I came to him as a virtual gym beginner and within a few months was delighted with the results of properly training with weights. I continue to train with Terry and would throughly recommend him.

Thanks Mike, look forward to smashing those achievements in the months ahead.

With two young children and a busy career I have struggled to find the time and motivation to get back into exercise. I contacted Terry to see if he could help build my strength and improve my running performance and I have to say, the results have been more than I expected. I have been training with Terry since April and in that time I have not only improved my strength and running performance but I have also seen a positive change in body shape from the conditioning work, a renewed energy for exercise and with it, an increase in confidence. Terry tailors each session to my needs, spends time teaching to create maximum impact and makes it fun! Thanks Terry! More...

An absolute pleasure Anna. Commitment and consistency has brought you those fantastic results. Here's to the next three months!

Really engaging and fun session- I have built muscle doing weights and instead of doing cardio focusing on strength training . I am feeling more confident

Thank you Rachel. Amazing to see the change in muscle tone and body shape you achieved through switching to weight training. You are even confident enough to hit those barbells on your own. Keep up the good work.

I started training with Terry in February time after having a few sessions with a different trainer previously.The first thing I noticed was what a phenomonal teacher he is , breaking down the different parts of the exercises to ensure I carried them out safely and properly. He always says "Perfect practice makes perfect."
Terry is very flexable, I work as a teacher and he is very good at organising our sessions around our different schedules which take place either at the gym or on the green.
He tailor makes each sessions to suit my needs and wants.No session is identical but they are very fun and yes often involve weird and wonderful equipment.
My goals were to loose a little weight, tone up and feel more body confident.I think I also jokingly said I would like to look like Margot Robbie in swimwear.I am definitely well on the way to all these things but more importantly I am stronger, fitter, healthier and have learnt to love my self again and that is all down to Terry's hardwork and expertise.

Thank you for your kind words Livy. Brilliant to see you enjoying the weightlifting and short intense style of 'cardio'. We can already see those arm muscles coming through! Consistency is key. So far so good.

I have had 15 years of different trainers, always battling weight. (Not often successfully ). Moved to Teddington in November and this time I decided I wanted to simply feel fitter and enjoy training. Terry writes a bespoke plan for every session. I really look forward to them. I have toned more than ever, feel more energised and stronger - which has helped my confidence. I have, for the first time, learned technique and why it is important - from lifting to boxing. Even though weight wasn’t a goal my clothes fit better. He comes to my house 2-3 times per week - due to my work schedule I need flexibility and he always makes it work . He is also very thoughtful and respects home/personal. Lastly, his expertise and knowledge means no two sessions are the same - he makes me laugh every time bringing new and strange pieces of equipment I have never heard of! More...

Pleasure to train you Debbie and thank you for your feedback. Enjoyment and consistency is key alongside carefully selected exercises to maximise those fat loss and muscle toning effects. You always give 100% and that makes my job a lot easier (as well as the support from Poppy and Dougal)

Training with Terry has been the best thing I’ve done regarding fitness. When we started I was a complete beginner. Terry taught me how to perform weightlifting moves safely and effectively, how to structure a workout for my needs and how to approach challenges with the right mindset. He helped me build the skills to be able to tackle the gym on my own with confidence.

Terry is very knowledgeable, respectful and funny. He pays attention to details, plans well ahead of sessions and offers useful tips. More...

What a warrior. Brilliant to see just how far you have come Andriana. No surrender and brilliant commitment. Achieved your first chin ups and going from strength to strength on the other movements. Paying dividends in sculpting that body shape. Keep it coming.

At the time in my life when I contacted Terry for personal training I was at least 6 kilos over weight, because of the excessive weight I couldn't touch my knees let alone my toes, I had zero energy level and feeling lethargic. After six weeks of training with Terry my life has been transformed and full of energy.
Because of Terry I am mentally and physically fit and enjoying life to its fullness. More...
