RJ Personal Trainer & Nutritional Therapist

Before I started personal training sessions with Rob, I had rarely stuck to an exercise routine for more than 3-4 weeks as motivation would soon be lost due to limited progress and a busy weekly schedule that would get in the way due to a lack of planning. Also a fear of being judged by other gym member's did not help either.I was under the impression that my diet was reasonably healthy. During my first few sessions with Rob, I kept a food diary and when we reviewed it together I realised that my diet was not as healthy as I had previously thought. I learnt more from Rob about diet and nutrition in a few sessions, than I had done in the past 27 years.Prior to starting my training programme although I was within a healthy weight range. My body fat percentage was way above what it should be for my age, height and gender. So my goal was to reduce my body fat percentage, increase strength and muscle mass. Rob set me a training programme of one intensive fully body work out once per week and I also incorporated some less intensive cardio sessions on other days. At first I didn't think one fully body work out per week would make much difference but I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly I started to make steady progress throughout my time training with Rob. Every so often new gym equipment or free weight exercises were introduced, as well as higher reps or heavier weights in order to continue progressing. In a short time I went from struggling to lift 3-4kg dumbbells when doing a chest press to being able to lift 8-9kg dumbbells with the same amount of reps, which was a huge motivational boost!During the first three months as well as increasing strength, I had also lost 2 inches off my waist, 3 inches off my thighs and hips. 2 inches from my upper back and calfs. I was really pleased with the continuous progress made and would not have been able to have done it without Robs advice, encouragement and knowledge on nutrition.I would highly recommend Rob as a Personal Trainer to anyone struggling with motivation or looking to make a change but unsure where to start or finding they've reached a plateau in there current training programme. Or if you're like me and somewhat anxious at the thought of walking in to a crowded gym and worried about being judged by other experienced gym members, then training with Rob would be the best thing you could do for your health and confidence.

A little background about me first. I had always been slightly overweight and had never exercised in my entire life. I especially hate gyms. I had many failed attempts in reducing weight. I was recently diagnosed with Diabetics Type II and my GP asked to reduce my weight, if not there will be lots of complications. That’s when I took Rob's help to make things normal. All my sessions were easy. My basic problem was I lacked stamina. So I cannot do more than 5 minutes of cardio. But With Rob's strength training sessions, I quite like them. And I enjoyed my improvement every week. He kept motivating me throughout. Also there was no diet. In fact, I had to increase my calorie intake initially.He helped me choosing the food. Being Asian, I was even able to eat Rice daily.After a few initial lessons, when I tried cardio, I was surprised at how my stamina has increased. I am more energetic now. I realized my basic problem was getting fixed.Best of all, my HbA1C (blood glucose measure) dropped from 7 to 4.5 in 3 months. My body is more toned and my fat and cholesterol levels have gone down. Thanks Rob! If not for you, I would notbe seeing these. I can’t recommend him enough. Trust him, he knows what he is doing, because, trusting him was the best thing I did in my weight loss journey.
