I contacted Craig to be my Personal Trainer as I wanted to lose weight and get fit for a forthcoming skiing holiday. Previous attempts on my own had failed after about 2 weeks! Not having used a PT before I was slightly nervous as I felt very unfit and a bit self conscious, but Craig instantly made me feel at ease. He takes time to explain and demonstrate each exercise properly, and corrects me as we go along, making me feel confident and comfortable with what I am doing. He initially created a training programme that enabled me to improve at a slow and steady pace, which actually made me enjoy working out, rather than dreading each session, as it felt relatively easy. There is always variation and progression in what we do to keep me interested and motivated, and can honestly say that I now love exercising, particularly the boxing and running. All the exercises that Craig sets me can be done at home, rather than the gym, which is perfect for me as I can easily fit them round work and family life. It gives me quite a strange sense of achievement to have done a work-out before I go to work, and I definitely have more energy in the day. After completing the first six week programme with Craig I was so pleased to see the difference in my weight, body fat and overall fitness levels and delighted to have achieved all the goals we had set together. It was particularly good to be able to fit into my pre-pregnancy clothes again after moaning about it for the last 2 years! I feel like I am progressing all the time and in a few months I have gone from doing no running at all, to having taken part in a 10 kilometre and a 5 mile race, and I have recently joined a local women’s running club. Craig has now planted the idea in my head of me doing a half marathon in October, which actually doesn’t seem such a scary prospect anymore! I couldn’t be happier with Craig as my choice of Personal Trainer; he is very knowledgeable, professional, and focused on his clients. I highly recommend him. Sarah, 35, Croxley Green

I noticed Craig’s personal training advert on his car whilst at the traffic lights in Watford, I had been having thoughts of finding a Personal Trainer to help me lose a bit of weight and tone up…… it was an omen! I took down his number and needless to say we got together and I haven’t looked back. Craig developed me an exercise program I could do at home and also helped me with a healthy eating plan and kept a careful watch on the effects both were having. I have lost 18cm from my overall vital statistics, I have lost 11lbs in weight and my body fat has reduced from 30- 22.%, my muscle mass has increased resulting in my physique rating being that of a 19 year old, deep joy! I am delighted with my results and am enjoying all the compliments I continue to get. After Craig takes his profession very seriously and is totally dedicated to health and fitness, his guidance and encouragement helped me to realise the potential I had to change my shape, I have gone from someone who never broke out in a sweat….. to a gym junkie! Craig has taught me the secret of technique “slow and controlled” will stay forever in my mind! Every few weeks Craig increases the intensity of the sessions and I Find myself achieving things I never thought I would or could do! I look forward to my sessions with Craig, he knows when I am focused and getting the best from him and when to change the routine to give me something new to keep me interested and motivated. Praise and recognition are key to feeling a sense of achievement; Craig is always keen to hear what I have been up to between sessions in terms of fitness and is genuinely pleased with my efforts, which makes me feel it is all worthwhile. His enthusiasm for what he does together with his infinite knowledge of nutrition and the human body make him a great all rounder, you will be able to achieve your goals with Craig.
