121 - Personal Training
Gym-Based, Mobile, or Online
Achieve your goals in weekly sessions that will help you to move and feel better, by building a strong functional physique based on scientific training. There's no fluff here. I will continuously analyse your movements to see how we can improve them and tailor your sessions to do exactly that!
Group - Personal Training
Gym-Based, Mobile, or Online
Keep each other accountable, by training together, and growing together! Ideal for couples, family, and friends, these small group sessions allow you to attain shared goals and split the cost. Most trainers charge for each person added, even though you get less of their help! I don't. I value the time and money you've invested, and I want safe, efficient exercise to be accessible. I charge a set fee for group sessions, no matter the group size; so the more of you there are, the cheaper it is per person!
Video Workout
A Tailored Exercise Programme
Receive one or more personalised videos each month to help guide you through your workout; this is a great cost effective way to know you're doing the right thing in the gym, or as a supplement to our sessions together. For ease, this is uploaded privately to YouTube, and only you have the link to be able to watch it.
Tailored Subscription
Mix & Match to suit you
If one of my subscriptions doesn't quite suit your goal, availability, or budget, get in touch, there's still an option! Together we can set up a plan that suits you; which is ideal for those who can only commit to once a month, bi-weekly sessions, or want to combine these with a Video Workout.
Exercise Classes
Tilehurst, Caversham, & Burghfield
You can find me at a few different locations running exercise classes for local centres. It’s always nice to see new faces, and it’s a good option if you want to train with me outside of private sessions. However, I only lead these classes, so I don’t know too much about membership or single class fees etc. For more information about the timetable, scroll down.

Where am I based?
I am local to Reading, and train people all across the town from Tilehurst to Caversham, to Lower Earley, and even Burghfield.
That said, my main base of operation is The Atrium Health Club (yes, the one that survived the arsonist attack in January). I always loved their community first approach, and that they genuinely care for both staff and members. That and the fact that it is a well-equipped, spacious facility, makes it the kind of professional facility that I want to be associated with, and it allows me do the kind of varied high-quality training that people enjoy.

What Our Clients Say About Personal Training in Reading
Common Questions, Answered
Do you offer a Consultation?
Absolutely! I offer a free consultation to help answer any of your questions, and to let you get to know me a bit first, without any pressure to sign up. This can be arranged as a meet up, or zoom / phone call.
Can I try a Session before I subscribe?
Yes, I offer a £20/£40 trial session, and I encourage anyone considering signing up to try it. It helps to relieve any doubts, and make sure that we are compatible, before committing.
What should I expect during my first Personal Training session?
Within your first session, typically your trial session, I will take you through a range of fundamental movements to asses how well you can currently move and whether your body is making any compensations due to injury or muscular imbalances etc. This will tell me how mobile each part of your body is and what we would need to work on in order to give you the most relief / benefit. From this point I will be better able to plan our future sessions and make them more specific to your needs.
Why do you offer sessions as a monthly subscription?
It is traditional for PT's to offer blocks of ten, but this has always been poor business management, and doesn't encourage any consistency. And consistency is key for results. Instead, I have a selection of subscriptions that my clients sign up to where they have their weekly scheduled slots booked in consistently; this helps both of us to make time for it and manage our schedules better. Of course, life happens, and sometimes sessions have to be moved around, but this helps to keep my clients accountable and training every week (and if they miss a session, we've already booked one in to catch up).
What is your cancellation policy for training sessions?
I require 24 hours notice for cancellations to maintain a smooth schedule for all clients. Outside of the 24 hours I am happy to reschedule.
