I've been a client of Simon's for 2 years and my strength and body shape has improved tremendously. Simon will always go the extra mile and even when you do not feel motivated he has a way of changing your mindset. When you train with Simon you join a community where everyone is supportive and encouraging. You will not regret choosing Simon as your personal trainer!

I approached Excel fit a little sceptical… I thought I knew my way around a gym having been a gym goer for around 20 years. The knowledge passed on since starting in June is incredible. I clearly didn’t know very much! The “Train Smart - Not Hard” mantra has seen me lose 10kg whilst becoming stronger and fitter. I’m seeing results I never knew were possible.
The value for money is incredible however this isn’t a merely a buisness transaction - you join a community and I’ve made many friends over the last few months!

What can I say . You would be hard pressed to find someone as dedicated to his craft whose heart is as much in it for each and every client . Simon works hard to ensure that he manages your PT programme and your aims/ goals with a range of techniques . He not only trains , he mentors , he helps you overcome barriers , challenges your mindset and promotes consistency , best of all you get results whatever your goal is ! Whether that’s Wright loss, fitness, muscle mass , or training for a sports event . He is a trained nutritionalist and always willing to go the extra mile to research, guide or create a plan where it’s needed . What’s more he manages to get you to go that extra mile 🙂
I’ve been a client of Simon’s for many years now , keeping my fitness/ mobility and flexibility up . Simon is a a genuine Person , selective in who he works with and has built up a clientele base that is as nice as he is and he considers part of his Simon family !
To others being a PT is a job ,,, to Simon its his life x

I feel very lucky to have found Excel Fit. We do personal training twice a week with Simon and also fit in several outdoor and indoor bootcamps when we can. Simon caters to a 15 year old, 17 year old and myself and adapts his approach and his sessions to each of us which is something no other trainer would commit to doing. He does this in an effortless way, pushing us all appropriately and according to our own fitness goals. He knows when to make us lift heavier or go faster and we have never ever been made to feel lazy or embarrassed when we didn’t deserve it! I have followed his eating plan too which truly works and doesn’t feel like I’m on a diet or that food is off limits. All three of us have massively improved our fitness and have lost many inches along the way which is an added bonus.

Been working with Excel Fit (Simon and Beth mainly) for about 3 years now, lost just short of 5 stone in that time, got some great advice on what changes I could easily make to my lifestyle and just built from there. I'm in the best shape i've ever been and feel alot better about myself 🙂

I’ve been attending PT sessions with occasional visits to Simon’s boot camps for the last couple of years. If you’re like me and find it hard to motivate yourself to go to a gym or even know what to do when you do eventually go, Simon has a tremendous ability for judging the correct type of exercises to help you achieve your goals and to motivate you to keep going. When you dip a little in motivation and you can’t be bothered, which at times is inevitable, Simon is there on your back to encourage you back onto the straight and narrow. I can honestly vouch for the fact that Simon is someone who cares deeply about his clients and nothing pleases him more than to see his clients achieve positive results from his personal training and advice on healthy eating and lifestyle.
Also my wife, who has never exercised in her life and was so nervous about being anywhere near a gym, is now attending PT sessions and even after only a few short weeks is feeling the benefit
The bootcamps which are run 4 times per week are fun and varied and help to encourage a good team like spirit among all the PT and bootcamp clients.
The friendly and inclusive team spirit which Simon actively encourages through the Excel Fit Facebook Group is very much an added benefit and allows everyone to feel involved.
In summary, I can’t recommend Excel Fit highly enough.

Simon is fantastic. He’s not only a personal trainer, he’s a friend, a mentor, a therapist, he constantly encourages you, and want you to achieve your best and beyond. Excel fit has literally changed my life. Highly recommend. X

I have been training with Simon for 2 years now and he is fantastic. I lost a lot of weight for my wedding and Simon helped me every step of the way. He listens to what you want and helps you maintain and help you in whatever area you are waiting to change. He is hardworking and dedicated! Such a great guy too! He runs great boot camps too for all different shapes and sizes. 100% recommend

Best thing I ever did. I really thought I wouldn't get very far because I was so unfit, but after 2 months of training and encouragement from Simon, my whole body and mind set changed. Now I go because I love it. Sounds sad, I know. But seeing the results I had after only 2 months made me feel so much happier and motivated to do even better. So I'm keeping it up.
Cheers Simon. As I always say, love to hate ya

Client
I trained with Simon as a PT client and also attended his bootcamp sessions (which are included as part of his PT packages) for about 18 months. I was really impressed with the results, felt much healthier, fitter, looked much more toned and also lost a few pounds.
He is very knowledgable about the body's physiology and seems to know no end of physical exercises and activities. As a result, you never get bored of his classes as they're always really varied. There are monthly fitness tests so you can see the improvements you are making so it's very motivational. Simon is also very motivational in helping you obtain your goals.
I'm taking a little break at the moment due to being pregnant but hope to be back at bootcamp in Spring/summer 2016 to help get back into shape once the baby is born.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Simon as a PT instructor or attend his bootcamps. You won't regret it!

I always believed I didn’t need a PT and with a bit of practice I could get to where I wanted to be. After months of trying and getting absolutely no where, I gave in and began working with Simon on PT sessions and bootcamp (50 day fat burning plan). I have never felt stronger or fitter in myself since! Simon takes away the thought process of exercising and provides me with the different routines each week to only boost my fitness levels. The motivation I feel towards exercise has completely changed since working with excel fitness and I actually enjoy it! Which is something I never thought I would say. I completely recommend Simon he’s does exactly what he says he will do. Since the 50 day fat burning plan I have decided to continue working with excel fitness
