"I’ve had a few personal trainers in the past and he’s definitely the best by a long shot."
Alistair has been hugely influential in assisting with rebuilding my core strength and overall health and fitness as I recovered from major abdominal surgery.
He is a considerate and sensible personal trainer, who is diligent and listens, developing a dedicated personalised programme of training which I have found very beneficial. Alistair’s overall knowledge and approach to physical and mental well being is informative, understandable and he is a very relatable, warm individual. Training is never a chore with him as he keeps it interesting, varied, fun but always developing forward.
Since working with Alistair, there is no doubt that my overall fitness, stamina and underlying health has substantially increased. I’ve had a few personal trainers in the past and he’s definitely the best by a long shot.
Highly recommended.
With arthritis and other joint problems, I had been on heavy pain killers for 8 years when I started training with Alistair. I was suffering debilitating flare-ups that seemed to be taking over my life.
After 10 months working with Alistair, I no longer needed pain killers, the flare-ups were rare and, two years later I enjoy pain free days more often than not.
Alistair goes over and above any trainer I have had in the past, taking an holistic approach to fitness that is truly effective.
Most of all, Alistair is a motivator - you just show up and do what the Boss tells you!

"I experienced improvements in posture and pain and learnt a lot of exercises and tools to improve further."
I worked with Alistair on improving my posture and muscular imbalances and enjoyed the sessions I had with him a lot. I was also impressed with his knowledge and experience in more complex physiotherapy-related issues and health and wellbeing.
I experienced improvements in posture and pain and learnt a lot of exercises and tools to improve further. He is a nice guy as well and in general I felt it was a level above most personal trainers that I have come across. Would highly recommend
I've been working with Al for almost 18 months. I'm retired and have some health problems, particularly with my back. Al was recommended as the best trainer for me, as he liked working with clients who had injury or health issues. He is very friendly, easy going and quickly put me at ease.
He really cares about his clients and his persistence has encouraged me to keep up with his programme of regular exercises to improve my strength and flexibility. Because of his efforts I definitely feel stronger and more flexible, which is very important to me as this stage of my life. I never thought I could carry such heavy weights!
He is very motivated and enthusiastic about learning about how the body works, studies and reads widely on health topics, such as nutrition and immunity, goes on courses to improve his knowledge, which he passes on to his clients. I can therefore have no hesitation in recommending him as a great personal trainer.

"His approach was perfect he knew when to push you and when to hold back."
Alistair was highly recommended by a friend. It was my first time seriously in the gym and it was the best decision I could have made. From the start we spoke about my achievable goals, long term targets and how we would plan to reach our targets. Our sessions always focused on having correct form and the importance of doing things correctly to get the best out of our workouts. His approach was perfect he knew when to push you and when to hold back. I believe that my sessions with him also helped change my view on the gym and I started to love going to the gym. Alistair also helped me with recovering from old sport injuries. Alistair helped a complete novice not only gain strength, stamina but also confidence in the gym.
I initially spoke with Al as I needed some strength and conditioning to allow me to get back on the bike and fulfil my goals. As an elite cyclist through my University days, I succumbed to many injuries, some of which still plague me today. Alistair has done miraculous work in helping my strength training, my nutrition, and alleviating various joint pains/niggles.
Al has a unique capacity to engage clients on both a personal, professional and get it done capacity, which results in you working harder, more often, and genuinely owning your own training/body.
Al has been a fantastic support, be it through sessions or over the phone, discussing diet plans and breathing techniques, it is, and will remain, the highlight of my week.

"I can now deadlift over 100kg and know I’m doing it properly without putting my body at risk."
I was paying for a gym membership but never really had the motivation to use it until I started training with Alistair. Now I’ve got more confidence to use the facilities and really enjoy going to the gym. Alistair's an excellent motivator and what I like most is that he isn’t afraid to correct my form.
I can now deadlift over 100kg and know I’m doing it properly without putting my body at risk. Its not just about results with Alistair, it’s just as much about technique which makes me trust him implicitly. As my skill and commitment improves I find that he changes our training sessions with a variety of exercises, stretches, and nutritional advice to keep me motivated and to make sure I’m doing the best for my body beyond the confines of our session. I find that he genuinely wants me to be the best version of myself I can possibly be.
Having been an un-finisher most of my life, I didn’t hold much hope for personal training. I had become used to focusing all my energy on my career. I had totally given up on my health. I met Al at a health MOT which was supposed to last a half hour and instead lasted an hour and a half. Something clicked. Here was this humble and energetic person, excited by his job. I signed up thinking, “it’s never going to last but may as well give Al a chance as he seems genuinely convinced he can help me, poor guy.”
A year later I still train with Al twice a week, my injuries are healed, I am pain free (unless I have sore muscles from training) and I have lost 35 pounds. Al has advised me on all facets of wellness, from sleep to nutrition and never recommends something he hasn’t researched and trialled thoroughly himself. His passion is infectious and I leave every session feeling lighter than when I came in - which I suppose I am!
I am elated to have competed in an outdoor swimming competition in September having previously not been able to swim more than a few lengths and I took the icy Pyg track up to the the top of Mount Snowdon in December - I couldn’t climb 4 stairs without pain just 10 months before. I could never thank Al enough for everything he has done for me. It isn’t just the fact that I have more energy, feel better in my clothes and am no longer a gym novice. I feel like a different person, a better person and Al has shown me that nothing stands in the way of what you truly want.

"Alistair has helped me improve my strength for the big compound lifts and helped to reduce my body fat from 15.3% down to 11.7% giving me a much more lean, athletic physique."
I trained with Alistair many times over the course of the last 12 months, and he is someone who goes above and beyond just taking you through exercises. His background knowledge of sleep, nutrition, as well as tips and advice for my busy lifestyle have proven beneficial.
In my role as a football referee, I run over 10km a game and therefore have to do a lot of cardio training on grass or the athletics track. Alistair helped to incorporate that necessary training with a lot of strength and conditioning work in the gym to help my personal goals of improving my fitness and physique.
Alistair has helped me improve my strength for the big compound lifts and helped to reduce my body fat from 15.3% down to 11.7% giving me a much more lean, athletic physique. This has been great for both on the field performance and personal satisfaction.
Overall, Alistair is a PT who takes pride not only in his work, but also the success his clients achieve both in and out of the gym. The only down side, is that he’s a Man Utd fan!
I have been training with Ali for 2 years, he has really helped me keep my discipline of dieting and training regularly. He constantly assesses my progress and will push me when I need it by advancing my routine and make me try exercises that I used to be very cautious of and avoid, like deadlifts and lunges. I have become more comfortable in the gym especially in the weights section.
I enjoy eating healthy now and finding creative ways to make healthy food taste great thanks to his examples. I can tell he cares about his clients and wants to see them doing well in every aspect of their life. It feels like he genuinely wants to see people in their best shape. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a personal trainer that genuinely cares about their clients.

"Found him really easygoing, fun to workout with and loved the way he devised some great plans in readiness for our next session."
Was lucky enough to have Alistair as my personal trainer last year.
Found him really easygoing ,fun to workout with and loved the way he devised some great plans in readiness for our next session.
On top of that he would also send me messages throughout the week with tips on what I can do outside the comfort of the gym!!
Will definitely be making use of his time again when needed.
If you're thinking about training with a PT, I'd say don't hesitate, and I'd highly recommend Alistair.
He will teach you how to train effectively and safely, help you regain your motivation when it wanders, and offer expert advice on nutrition, wellbeing, and making lifestyle changes that are more important than ever while we're living with the coronavirus.
Oh, and if all that sounds a bit serious, don't worry - he'll make you laugh while he's making you work.

"Al educates, inspires, motivates and challenges us."
Having been introduced to us by our son and daughter in-law, Al has been a godsend for our family. He is a very affable and friendly young man who is thoroughly knowledgeable. He has made a huge difference to our lifestyle for the better. Within a short space of time, we have noticed ourselves to be fitter and healthier!
Al is conscious of our old injuries and has managed to ease the pain for both of us. He continues to research and study all aspects of health and fitness and has given us excellent advice on nutrition. He is training my husband and I, my husband’s mother and both of our sons and is able to cater to all of our needs. Al educates, inspires, motivates and challenges us.
Thank you Al!
I was stuck in a rut, going to the gym but with no plan and little gain. I decided to speak to Alistair for help. He sat me down to find out what my problem areas and weaknesses were and where I was going wrong. He gave me sound advice concerning food and exercise and then set out a plan for me.
With a coherent plan and constant motivation, training with Alistair has been a revelation. I have seen constant positive gains throughout my body and mindset. He encourages me to think less short term and instead have a lifelong goal of exercise and proper diet, that is enjoyable and sustainable.

"He immediately stood apart as being holistic, well read, basing practice on science and current theories."
I was fortunate enough to have met Alistair, who was my third personal trainer at Nuffield. He immediately stood apart as being holistic, well read, basing practice on science and current theories. He addressed diet, sleep, emotional wellbeing, as well as gym-based workouts.
Under his tutelage, I lost weight, got stronger, fitter and slept better. I am sorry to say the pandemic interrupted our training and will undoubtedly continue with him again as soon as I can. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.
