sustainable weight loss personal training
Unlike other local Personal Trainers, when you work with me, you will make long-term life changes for sustainable weight loss, not just get a ‘quick fix’.
sustainable weight loss
the only kind worth doing
- You’ve done the quick fixes before; the six week diet plan with protein shakes
- “New year resolution” to get into an outfit for an event, but it quietly unravels by March
- You’ve tried GLP-1 jabs, but nobody’s told you what happens when you stop…
Perhaps you’ve realised that losing weight fast was never the hard part……keeping it off was. On GLP-1 injections? Here’s how I support you on and off them.
If this sounds like you, you are in the right place…
Why most weight loss doesn’t last
Losing weight fast is the easy part. Crash diets, shakes and six-week challenges all get results, until life gets busy again and the weight creeps back on. That’s not a lack of willpower. It’s because nothing about your habits, your strength or your understanding of food has actually changed.
Sustainable weight loss works the other way round. We build the strength that protects your muscle as the fat comes off, and the eating habits that fit your real week. We track the numbers that matter every three to four months, so you can see the change for yourself. It takes longer than a quick fix, but it stays off.
I’ve been a personal trainer since 2012, and I help people lose weight for good in my private, air-conditioned gym in Mortimer Common, near Reading. It’s a short drive from Burghfield, Tadley, Theale and Spencers Wood, and there’s plenty of parking.

case study
proof sustainable weight loss is possible
meet jo
- Jo is 5 feet 2 inches. She started with me in 2017
- She was 17 stone > she’s now 9 stone 4 pounds.
That’s not the headline, though…
The headline is that Jo started with me in 2017, and she’s still training with me now.
I’ve told her more than once that she doesn’t need to be here anymore, that she knows how to live this. Her answer is always the same:
“This is part of my weekly routine now, I’m not going anywhere…”
That’s what sustainable weight loss actually looks like. Not a before and after photo. A life you don’t want to leave.
how to achieve sustainable weight loss
personalised training programme
Built entirely around your body, your goals and any injury, surgery or medical history.
Two 60 minute training sessions per week
Our sessions are held in my private, fully air-conditioned gym in Mortimer Common, Reading.
Nutrition accountability & education
You will learn how to track the metrics that matter so that you take responsibility.
You won’t get a meal plan from me. Meal plans don’t survive real life, a birthday, a bad week at work, a fridge that isn’t stocked how a spreadsheet wants it to be. Instead, you’re accountable.
You tell me what you’re eating, I tell you the truth about it, and we adjust as we go. It starts with a proper consultation, body measurements, body fat, blood pressure, the raw data, so we know exactly where you’re starting from and what “sustainable weight loss” actually means for your body specifically.
Then we book in, train, and review every three to four months so you can watch the numbers, and your body and mind, change.

FAQ
What is sustainable weight loss?
It’s weight loss that stays off, not just weight loss that shows up for a photo. It comes from building habits you can actually keep going, proper strength training, honest nutrition accountability, and enough time for your body and your routine to genuinely change, rather than a six-week plan that unravels the moment life gets busy again.
How much weight can I lose in a sustainable way?
It depends entirely on your starting point and your body, which is why I don’t quote a generic number. What I can tell you is that steady, well-supported progress holds. Jo lost the best part of eight stone over time, training with me consistently, and she’s kept it off since 2017.
Is strength training or cardio better for sustainable weight loss?
Strength training. Cardio burns calories while you’re doing it. Strength training changes your body composition so you’re burning more even when you’re not in the gym, and it protects the muscle you need as you lose fat, rather than just losing weight from wherever your body decides to take it.
Do I need to be on weight loss injections for this to work?
No. If you are on them, this fills the gap they don’t cover, teaching you the habits and the strength work you’ll need for when you come off them, so the weight doesn’t creep back on. If you’re not on them, this works exactly the same way, just without that extra piece.
How long does it take to see sustainable weight loss results?
You’ll typically see visible changes within three to four months, which is also around when the mindset shift tends to happen. That’s when it stops feeling like a diet and starts feeling like your normal week.
