I look forward to every Saturday morning when I have my Kung Fu class with Stuart. The sparring is great fun! The line work really works my legs and I feel I am getting really strong and fit. Stuart is a great teacher and also makes me laugh – he sometimes calls me a teapot! I also like mountain biking in the forest, roller hockey, rock climbing and caving. Justin Murphy

"I have been one of Stuart's clients for 7 years now and it's time to thank him for his patience and incredible passion in helping people to enjoy sports and be healthy. My programmes and the types of exercise tried have been many and varied; throughout it all Stuart has been honest and concerned that I progress and enjoy what I am doing. In 2004 I wanted to exercise but had no idea what to do - so came the first introduction to Stuart Ford. He worked hard to find ways to make the sessions interesting and fun. I remember dodge ball sessions; different ways of using a Swedish ball + weights; being pushed round the park whilst protesting that I couldn't run; using logs and fallen trees for push-ups and balancing exercises; jumping on to and into tyres and learning to use a sledge hammer!! Since then I have learned so much, participated in a 5km Serpentine run, a couple of Race for Life events, taken up Kung Fu, Tai Chi, enjoy Traditional Fitness School, and more recently, added Nei Chuan. Stuart has been so supportive and from him I have learned much about myself, nutrition and exercise. If you are looking for a trainer who genuinely wants you to achieve the best, is honourable and honest then Stuart is the trainer for you." Tessa Aston
