Gillian,
Mere.
Training
with you has radically changed the way I consider
my body, exercise, eat and live.
You
have taught me so many things!
I
learnt that even with my healthy diet, I could
make simple changes that meant I could eat so
much less, yet not feel hungry all the time.
You
helped me find resistance exercise that I love
and can fit into 30 mins a day (the time it
takes me to decide what to wear in the morning).
Feeling
strong and having muscle is so important to
women, despite what most seem to think.
You
helped me understand how women are all different
sizes, to appreciate what I have been given,
to make the best of what I have.
Good
work!

James,
Penketh.
I’ve
always had good intentions of increasing my
fitness level and toning my body but found
the big gyms in town to be intimidating scary
places. I didn’t really know how to
use the equipment and I was embarrassed to
work out in front of other people –
a real fear of doing it wrong and making a
complete show of myself.
Using
personal trainers at these gyms didn’t
help either because I found them to be disinterested
and impersonal. Each session was the same
and although I was enthusiastic at first,
I quickly became bored and stopped going.
Last
year I hurt my lower back and my chiropractor
advised me to take up regular exercise to
help strengthen my lower back and core. The
thought of joining yet another gym filled
me with dread.
However,
trawling through the internet, I found Andy’s
website and after visiting him at his studio
and liking what he said, he’s been my
personal trainer for just over a year now.
From
the outset, Andy has worked at my pace –
he knows my limitations and although each
session is hard work, it’s thoroughly
enjoyable. No two sessions are the same and
he introduces something new each week. The
results are amazing. I’m lifting weights
that I never thought possible and I’ve
built some really good muscle mass - my core
strength, stamina and body confidence has
considerably increased too. Most of all, I’m
extremely motivated and I look forward to
my next session.
I’d
thoroughly recommend Andy to anybody who’s
looking for a personal trainer. He’s
not only professional - he’s committed,
considerate and enthusiastic. He also has
a wicked sense of humour.
Personally,
I think he’s the best thing since sliced
bread. He knows his stuff and I have a lot
of praise for this guy - I just wish I’d
found him years ago.
Thanks
for everything Andy - you’re a star.

Heather,
Appleton.
Last
year I was feeling unfit, stressed and flabby
with a prolapsed disc and a sore neck.
My
husband phoned half a dozen local PT's, but
Andy was the only one who questioned him about
my disc issue. He came to my house for a consultation
and so began a year of PT, massage and friendship.
It
has changed my life. I've dropped a dress
size and I feel fitter and more toned than
I could ever have imagined.
I
have two PT sessions a week and one massage
session and it has struck the right balance
between exercise and therapy for my neck problems.
Andy
is an amazing guy who supports, challenges
and is a great listener. He is the best masseuse
I've had, and goodness knows I've had LOTS
of them over the years.
I
can't believe that I've wasted so much money
over the years on gyms that I've never used!!

Pam,
Appleton.
Andy
is the best trainer and masseur ever!
He's
down to earth, practical and totally tunes
into what you need and when.
He's
the best thing that's ever happened to my
training schedule.

Luci,
Daresbury
I
initially looked for a personal trainer 5
1/2 weeks prior to my wedding. Getting married
at the age of 49 sent me into to panic mode
and was having serious concerns around how
I would look in my wedding dress.
I'd
never had a PT before, so I rang a few local
ones, but it was Andy who immediately empathised
with my worries and made an appointment to
come and introduce himself.
As
you can see in the picture, I got into my
dress and I’m still having 3 sessions
a week.
My body shape has really changed. I am far
more toned, I have lost body fat and I feel
so much fitter. I'm also aware of a big change
in my mindset towards my health and exercise.
What
always strikes me is the enthusiasm and professionalism
with which Andy treats me. I get the impression
that he really cares about each and every
one of his clients!
With
Andy it's more than just workouts and diet
plans. I like Andy's approach and most importantly
for me every session is different. It's hard
work, but very enjoyable.

Neil,
Warrington.
I
got in touch with Andy last year to help improve
my fitness.
A
health check with my doctor had found that
I had a very high heart rate and blood pressure.
I
have 2 or 3 sessions a week with Andy and
my BP and HR have improved dramatically.
I
really enjoy doing new things in my sessions.
There's so much more to working out than just
running machines and weights!

Emma,
Helsby.
"The
art of distraction", he calls it.
All
I know is that it makes you use muscles that
you didn't know you had to lift weights that
you never knew that you could lift without even
realising it!
Until
you get home from the gym and you have to do
things like....hmmmm.....walk!!

Kerry,
Stockton Heath.
I
have trained with Andy for five years now and
in that time I have lost over 2 stones and dropped
three dress sizes. Just as importantly, I've
kept the weight off!!
Before
I trained with Andy I had trained with a succession
of PTs. Whilst training with them I didn't achieve
results anywhere near the ones I have achieved
whilst training with Andy.
To
try and drop a dress size I even went to the
extent six years ago of attending a week long
military run boot camp. I didn't get the results
I was hoping for. I lost weight while I was
at the camp, but I put it all back on again
within a few weeks.
Thanks Andy for all your help!!!
I can now get back into my 'skinny wardrobe'.
You have saved me a small fortune not having
to buy new clothes!

Louise,
Stretton.
I
originally got in touch with Andy to help me
get into shape so I could fit into my wedding
dress.
I
am pleased to say I achieved that goal. Since
the wedding I have continued my training sessions
with Andy as he is a great personal trainer.
Andy
is exceptionally knowledgeable on a wide range
of areas from fitness, fat loss, nutrition and
motivation and has a genuine interest in getting
the best out of you.
Despite
each session being hard work, Andy has a great
style which is perfectly pitched between fun
and working hard and I thoroughly enjoy each
session and have the results to prove the effort
is well worth it.

Nicky,
Newton-Le-Willows.
I
came across Andy at my local gym when I stopped
to look at his promotional stand.
Because
of Andy's experience, he can judge immediately
what you can and can`t do ( not what you think
you can and can`t do, which are completely different
things !!).
He
will design a programme specifically for you
and develop it alongside your particular issues
each session , he will have you doing things
that you never thought possible!!
Andy
is a very down to earth brummie and, once you
have manged to understand his lovely accent,
very funny and chatty :-)

Azuso,
Warrington.
I
have been a ballet student in Warrington for
the last 3 years.
The
training is very demanding and I found that
I was suffering regularly with lower back and
ankle problems.
I
found Andy's website and now have several massage
sessions a month with him. I find that the treatments
help enormously with my joint soreness and muscle
tension.

Kate,
Sretton
I
am very active, but I have an ongoing lower
back problem that flares up from time to time
which is why I got in touch with Andy.
I
have regular deep tissue massage treatments
as well as monthly stats tests to make sure
that I'm not slipping.
He
is always professional and really knows his
stuff!
I
can't recommend him enough.

Jude,
Wigan.
I
started training with Andy almost 6 years
ago and still love every session I have with
him.
I decided to find a Personal Trainer as I
was bored of my normal fitness routine. I
wanted to get new training ideas and learn
more about resistance training.
Although
I was quite fit and not really looking to
lose weight I wanted to really tone up, gain
strength by being instructed with weights
and basically become more motivated.
I
have definitely achieved these goals with
Andy – all my muscle groups have toned
up, I have gained strength and discovered
muscles which I never knew I had!! And I now
have a greater knowledge of fitness and the
levels I can push myself to.
If
you are looking for a trainer who offers nothing
but encouragement, great advice in every session,
who is friendly and down to earth then Andy
is unquestionably the trainer for you!!
