with a RESULTS-DRIVEN PT

You’ve lost belief in achieving your goals
You’re struggling to see results despite your efforts, or
You’re simply stuck and ready to give up…

If you’re looking for 1-1 personal training with a results-driven PT, accountability and are serious about long-term change, you are in the right place…

1-1 personal training mindset shift

1-1 personal training isn’t just about seeing your body visibly change; it’s also about a shift in what you believe you are capable of.

It takes 3-4 months to see visible body changes, and that’s around the time the mindset changes too. So if you stick with it, you won’t just LOOK different; you will FEEL different.

And it doesn’t end there… Some of my 1-1 personal training clients have shared how the changes they’ve experienced have helped them to better handle work stress. And their partners and family members see the difference and want to get training with me too.

PRICING: £50 / hr

You’re ready to commit to real, long-term change, not just a short-term push before an event.

You’re willing to be honest about your training and your food, even when it’s uncomfortable.

You’re looking for a quick fix, a magic wand, or someone to take your money without results. I don’t work that way. I’ll tell you if you’re the right fit, and I mean it.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Steve’s been my PT for 3yrs now and the results have been great. Would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting to improve their fitness, strength and general well being, no matter what state of athletic ability they are. He’ll work to ensure your plan is truly bespoke. The cost is also very reasonable and the investment is certainly worth it.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. “It’s a situation I see often Chris, and you’re not on your own.” These are the first words in Steve’s reply to my WhatsApp for arranging a consultation with him. I had done very little in terms of exercise for 10 years, and I wanted to be healthier and fitter before going into retirement. Had a very frank and sincere chat with Steve, he listened, and agreed my objective of getting fitter as the main driver, with the side benefit of losing “some timber”. Since we started, I’ve very rarely done the same exercise twice, and commenced the first session in July. Just over 2 months in I have lost weight, seen a change in body-shape, and have more energy. This is proper one-to-one training in a private gym. Steve listens to you and knows the difference between what you think you can do and what your body can do. He isn’t going to make you a hot chocolate and read you a bedtime story, no, but he will look after you and encourage you. A very good man to have in your corner to work towards the objectives you want to achieve. We also have a good laugh!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Steve was recommended to me by a friend and I have been doing PT with him for over a year and a half now.  Being over 50, my initial reasons to take up PT were to maintain muscle tone, retain flexibility and to address a weak back.  Prior to this I hadn’t spent much time in gyms and didn’t consider myself ever becoming a regular gym attendee.  Steve has been excellent with his prescribed workouts and training, he clearly has a great understanding of human physiology and the workouts of the different muscle groups (and the same groups) continually vary which keep things interesting.  He is a great coach and a highly motivated individual who I would wholeheartedly recommend; I now have a stronger back and confidence to lift weights I never felt possible which has also improved my overall posture. His focus on correct technique also means I have great confidence in his training and its never dull!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been working with Steve ( totally smash it) as my PT for 8 years, we have build a great professional relationship.
Every session is different he steps me out of my comfort zone constantly and helped me become so much stronger and fitter.

He helped me get though a second heart operation 3 years ago and my recovery was so much quicker because of the work we but in before it and then after rebuilding my strength and fitness levels.
Steve also makes the sessions Fun and I’d think there was something missing if I didn’t wake up with aching muscles.
I trust him and his training methods and that’s why I’m still training with him after 8 years he gets results but in an encouraging, tough and fun way!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Steve has been life changing.  I was terrified at the beginning of my PT journey. He is supportive yet challenging and his skill is knowing exactly where that balance exists to get the best results. I can’t always say the sessions are enjoyable (secretly they are 😊), but I can absolutely say they make a difference and having a laugh whilst we do it is always a pleasure. Thanks Steve

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Steve is the best coach out there.  He can make you achieve things that you had thought impossible.  I can not recommend Steve and his BoxFit classes highly enough.  The passion he has for motivating people shines through every time.
Thanks Steve !!

FAQs

How is 1-1 personal training different from your classes?

1-1 personal training is built entirely around you, your programme, your pace, your targets, with every session and review conducted directly with Steve. Classes are group-coached and a great way to build a fitness habit or train alongside others; 1-1 is for when you want a plan tailored to your body, history, and a longer-term goal.

It’s built for people making a long-term change, not a short-term push before a wedding, holiday or event. If that’s what you’re after, our group classes may be a better starting point.

Do I need to be fit, or injury-free, to start?

No. Clients range from those just starting to people returning from injury or surgery, right through to athletes preparing for events; the oldest client I have trained is 78. What matters more than current fitness is being genuinely ready to commit.

Rehabilitation and strength & conditioning are built into the 1:1 service. I have worked directly with clients’ surgeons and physios on pre-operative and post-operative programmes, so your history is factored in from our free consultation.

What happens at my first meeting?

It’s a free consultation, not a sales pitch. I meet every prospective client in person before anyone commits to anything; it’s a two-way fit check. If we both want to go ahead, that’s when we book your onboarding session.

How much does 1-1 personal training cost, and is there a tie-in?

£50 / hr, or if you commit to a longer period, you will get more accountability, consistency and a lower price per hour. Payment is monthly with no long-term tie-in. Sessions need at least 24 hours’ notice to be cancelled or rearranged.

Where do sessions take place?

In my private, fully-equipped independent gym in Mortimer Common, near Reading. It’s air-conditioned, with access to the same equipment you’d find in a commercial gym and then some. We also use the outdoor field for sessions through the warmer months.
