"For 3 years I stopped going to the gym because of a knee injury and because I was told by my physiotherapist and by my doctor that I could never go to the gym again. In the meantime I was constantly in pain, my knee was always sore plus I had put on about 10 kilos! I was unhappy, wanted the pain to go away and wanted to be fit again. So I found Derek... his mannerism immediately put me at ease but most of all he gave me hope that "we" were going to fix my knee. He provided motivation at all times, the programs were tailored to me, and he is always smiling! Within 6 months, my knee was strengthened, I am now running, cycling, doing step classes, and finally wearing high heels again! And I've lost 7 kilos so far. Simply can't live without him!"

"I was unhappy with my figure and was struggling by myself to make a difference, so thought I'd give PT a go. Derek has worked miracles; I am so much more confident about my figure, not only have I lost weight, I have toned up and just feel so much happier. Shopping is once again a pleasure! Derek devised a programme of weight loss and toning in conjunction with a healthy balanced diet. Through a combination of weight training and cardiovascular exercise, I soon noticed those problems areas weren't a problem any more! With his constant encouragement and support, dedication and commitment, he helped me feel and see the difference I was looking for. I would highly recommend Derek to anyone interested in changing the way they feel about their body. He's worth every penny." Rebecca B
'I have been training with Derek for over 5 years now. In that time I have gone from being a former rugby player who needed to do something to stay fit to being much more demanding and specific about training as I have taken up running half marathons. In that time I have made huge progress with my running as Derek has tailored a programme to suit my goals, provided a large amount of encouragement and given me a tremendous sense of wellbeing. The sessions are great fun, never stale and Derek is always mixing exercises up and drawing on new training ideas and current thinking.
I always look forward to my training sessions with Derek and I would recommend him to anyone who is committed to improving their health and wellbeing.'

'Derek was my personal trainer for nearly 4 years - I would have kept him on had I not moved away to Cornwall! He is a highly personable man, dedicated to his work - to your well-being and fitness. Lovely to talk to - understanding when you may not perform so well and supportive when you do. Definitely not one of these shouty PTs. He is a lovely man and I would highly recommend to anyone - in fact I already did as I had a friend who took my slots when I went on holiday. Much more than just your usual Personal Trainer - Derek has many skills and tricks for keeping sessions interesting and your fitness developing. I certainly miss our weekly training sessions. I honestly cannot recommend highly enough'.
