Back injuries are a difficult thing to treat so having someone like you that understands what I need to do and how to do it, was key.

Creating a structured programme is really important and being sure that I am now doing the right things for my condition.

Physically – In a short time I already feel improvement in my core and flexibility. My back is going to take a lot of time but I know I have the right programme in place.

Mentally – having a structure that I know will work, and it’s very important for me to have focus.

I would recommend you to other people. A lot of people I am sure come to see a Personal Trainer because of weight issues/confidence etc  – you recognised early on that motivation is not the issue with me but needing to know I was doing the right things and that focus for me was very important. You were very patient which was important as I was frustrated I couldn’t do simple things to begin with as I was basically a plank of wood!*

Linda Edwards

You seemed very friendly,easy to get on with,approachable and good at what you do.

Help me to tone up and get fitter and stronger. Yes but still a way to go.

Emotionally:  I can forget about home stuff for that hour & concentrate on me.

Physically: My body is slowly changing and I feel so much better for it and stronger.

Mentally: I can see the results and it motivates me to carry on and not stop.

Definitely recommend you. You’re very good at what you do, you do not make me feel stupid, and I do not feel so self-conscious when exercising next to all the “super-fit” people. If I was not training with you I know I would not go on my own because I would feel very intimidated. I also would not feel confident enough to use the machines on my own and would probably avoid them.You also care about the well-being of your clients and if there’s any injuries etc. you change program accordingly without any hesitation.

You are a valued PT. Without your help I would not be where I am today. Thank you.*

Shaun was recommended.

I wanted to focus on a few things:

• Improved stamina
• Better overall strength
• Improved body fat

Shaun’s workout regime was well structured focussing on my needs and importantly taking into considerations some constraints around back issues.  The results in overall fitness are noticeable and there are clear, measurable results in the level of weight I can work with and measurable positive changes to measurements for chest, biceps and thighs, with waist reduction starting to head in the right direction.

Emotionally: More connected with myself in terms of what I eat and drink and general awareness of level of fitness, I feel better about myself.

Physically: Clearly some increased tone and muscle definition and general fitness levels.

Mentally: Greater awareness of what is needed to develop good level of health and need for balance in working out and eating right

Yes I definitely would recommend, Shaun is very personable and has shown deep knowledge of nutritional information and anatomy. He knows what works and what doesn’t and is very focused on sustainable results which is key in this current world with its fixation on a quick fix.  He has been able to build routines that are varied and is always willing to experiment to try new things and adapts if these changes don’t work out.  He has done well to take into consideration my specific requirements and needs around managing back and sciatic pain.  He makes good use of the technology available and is able to share information and advice and recommend exercises and eating advice outside of the gym.

I have appreciated Shaun’s sessions, although hard,  I have seen the benefits over time and would not hesitate in recommending Shaun to anyone.*

I chose PT Shaun as my coach as he’s clearly into his fitness and was always giving me advice and tips before I decided to have a PT and he is in great shape himself, so having a PT who not only knows his stuff but  looks like he does too is a bonus.

What I hope to gain from PT Shaun as a coach was an insight into the fitness world and achieve my goals which I was able to as aiming for smaller goals and working  towards your main one works really well as you usually see progress every week with Shaun’s motivation and encouragement with how to do each exercise correctly and with solid form (I still hate deadlifts!)

Training with PT Shaun I have noticed a big difference in terms of being able to self motivate and the way I approach training. I have felt myself getting much stronger and have been able to increase my  weight on lifts by a small amount most weeks whilst form still being correct which has lead to a big increase in my self-confidence with body image.

I would recommend PT Shaun to anyone looking to either lose weight, put on muscular size, or trim down  due to his professional approach to training. He has a laid back but firm outlook on life and  will encourage you to challenge yourself at almost every session.*

Chris Dodgson

Talking to Shaun after the session he had with my mum. The sessions I had after that he always asked how things were progressing for me and understood my situation and how I was struggling he recommended that I get a PT to achieve what I wanted faster and put himself forward.

To gain confidence in my appearance through gaining muscle as well as improving on my posture.

Emotionally:Confidence in my appearance

Physically: Better posture, strength

Mentally: Confidence and a greater understanding of my limits

Yes 100% would recommend you. I would recommend Shaun to anyone because he always pushes me beyond what I think I can do. He cares for my personal goals and strives to push me to achieve them.*

---

Amanda Abbott

PT Shaun continues to encourage me to train harder every time I am at the gym. He is very quiet and understated but I get so much from our training sessions. Each time I achieve a new goal – something I know for definite I would not achieve on my own.

I have used many gyms in Peterborough over many years and am so glad I eventually was introduced to Shaun.  He is sympathetic to the fact that I have arthritic knees and has designed a programme to suit my needs.  I have recently been introduced to indoor climbing and with Shaun’s help, my upper body strength is increasing weekly which helps with the climbing. I do look forward to my training sessions – I know that Shaun is going to encourage me to go that bit further each time, I know it is going to be tough but I know I am going to feel good after.

I would definitely recommend Shaun to anyone who I know.*

Marie Beaney

I chose you as my coach as it was obvious from speaking to you that you are passionate about personal training and from your own personal experience, you are aware of the huge positive impact that being happy with your self image can have on your life. Your enthusiasm was immediately apparent and I felt confident that would benefit me.

I wanted to learn more about the relationship between food and exercise and I feel that this has been extremely beneficial, although I still have much more to learn and put into practice myself.I also wanted to move out of my comfort zone in terms of exercise as I was stuck in a rut and wanted to try something different, like strength training. After being introduced to it by you, I know this is something that will help me attain the results I want.

Emotionally- I have faced up to many things that I think I was in denial about, particularly relating to the food choices I was making and the reasons why. You have helped me considerably in this respect.

Physically- I have become stronger, and more focused, although there is still a long way for me to go,but with commitment and dedication I feel that I can achieve what I want. Changing fundamental parts of my diet were very important for me, and you have helped me achieve that.

Mentally- I am prepared to move out of my comfort zone and try new training techniques. I am also more focused and confident in my ability to try strength training.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to others as I am confident that you will listen to their needs, and come up with the best possible training program to help them achieve their goals.*

Margo Cox

When I was searching for a trainer I was impressed with how professional you are when I watched you working with other clients.

I wanted you to understand my personal needs,  and found you to be very understanding of those needs.

I feel physically stronger, emotionally more determined to build strength and mentally more confident with my appearance.

I would certainly be happy to recommend you to others as I am confident that you would give them the excellent training that you gave me.

I find you to be a very confident and knowledgeable trainer, also very easy to talk too and always ready to give advice for improvement in my training. I am also impressed that you seem to be continually improving your skills and your dietary knowledge is amazing. I would like to wish you every success for the future and thank you for all that you have done for me. I push myself harder than I ever did and seeing results.*

---

Grant Sykes

Someone to motivate, advise, support – yes to all three

Emotionally: Happier in myself and with my body

Physically: Fat loss, muscle gain, strength gain, better lifts

Mentally: I have a better understanding of the correct form of certain lifts

Yes I would recommend you – friendly, knowledgeable and professional PT

Shaun is awesome!*

Louise Loret-Ribeyon

I felt you would the best person to understand what I was looking for in the long term and would be able to find a way to help me that adapted to my personality.

I wanted someone who could push me but also work with me in a personal way according to my personality. I was also looking for help in the nutrition area and you helped me start that transformation in my life. And I got what I asked for 🙂

Emotionally: training with you has helped me get calmer and less emotive.

Physically: I got stronger and fitter

Yes I would recommend you. Because I believe that you work with people on a personal level. You endeavour to find what makes them tick and you work with them according to that. And I believe that brings great results

I just would like to thank you for everything. I may have not been the best of your clients but I thoroughly enjoyed training with you and working on myself with you for the one year.*

---

Louise Wilmer

Initially I chose you as a coach because I needed something/someone who would make me go to the gym regularly and help me get past that point I was reaching after going to the gym for a few weeks where I didn’t know how to move forward.

Initially I just wanted to get healthier and fitter and to get into a regular habit of going to the gym. As well as this you have helped me with my goals by looking at nutrition and lifestyle as a whole as well as gym workouts.

Physically: I am definitely stronger and fitter than when I started and I can see the progress I have made in my workouts

Mentally: I generally have a more positive outlook and “can do” attitude than when I started (although I do have my off days)

Yes I would recommend you. Shaun encourages you to try harder (more reps, bigger weights, different exercises) without being too pushy.

Although I have good weeks and not so good weeks Shaun can usually tell when I am being lazy and when I am genuinely struggling and adapts accordingly.*

---

Yvette Parker-Radford

You were approachable

Improvement in my core strength to said postnatal recovery. Yes, set me on the right track.

Physically: Started me on a recovery plan. After just a few sessions my back had improved and I was able to lie flat for first time in 4 years!.

Mentally: Gave me the confidence in the gym.

Yes I would recommend you, I enjoyed the PT sessions and found them useful.*

---

Caroline Ashley

Was approached and decided to try it out

To learn how to strengthen and tone correctly, yes

Increased confidence of ability

Stronger, more muscle definition

Yes, encouraging without being threatening

Adaptability to health issues and lifestyle advice is appreciated*

---

Darren French

New exercises to increase variety of existing workout. Yes, this was definitely achieved. You provided a number of exercises & introduced me to machines I would not previously used.

Before: Bored in same routine

After: Unfortunately my shoulder injury curtailed our last few sessions so cannot say physically but enlightened to new exercises.

Definitely would recommend you.

I would say you are very professional & thoughtful. Each session was well defined & clearly explained when it came to exercises new to me.*

---

Mohammed Younis

I wanted you to train me as I was very unfit, each time I trained by myself I was getting backache whereas with you I did not suffer any back problems.  In addition I was not able to motivate myself alone.

Before:  I was very unfit I had high cholesterol level, emotionally I was feeling low.  When I was training alone I couldn’t see any difference physically
After:  After training with you I was emotionally feeling good I was motivated to come to gym.  Physically I didn’t suffer any backache I was training hard. I saw the difference in my body.

I would definitely recommend you as you do make a difference not just by training also the advice you offer on healthy eating is fantastic.

I like to add your style of training works on people and makes a difference in their lives, nothing is more important than health in life so any money invested in yourself definitely pays off. I would highly recommend people to train with you and have a better healthy life.*

Andrew Howard

I had been going to a Gym for 3 or 4 years but before that had never been to gym before, I wanted to improve my overall fitness but in safe way – I also wanted to be able  to do exercises that I have never been able to do ie press ups – I have got there and now working on refining Pull Ups !

Before:   I had been going to the Gym for 3 or 4 years and whilst I was making progress –it was slow and what I did was a bit like guess work

After:  we have been working on a number of exercises and making good progress with focus on form and ensuring that moving into new exercises does not result in injury – really pleased with the progress I have made

Shaun is good at communicating and explaining not only what to do but how do it and the benefit of doing an exercise in a particular way*

---

Coralie D

I had an amazing experience thanks to Shaun. He helped me gain confidence and self-esteem. He was always helpful and there for support.
I highly recommend Shaun as a PT for a life change*

---

Thomas N

I have been a client of Shauns for a the last few months. Once a week come rain or shine he arrives at my house and pushes me to my limit.
Great trainer, happy and friendly. Makes you feel at ease while you work out and no judgments always positives.
Would highly recommend*

Sonja R

If you are looking for a quick fix, I honestly think you are in the wrong place. If you want to invest in yourself, read on.

What attracted me to make contact with Shaun was his honesty about his journey on his website. It made me smile and feel like I already half knew this person, who I needed to be able to trust implicitly. He isn’t one of those buffed up blokes you see parading like a peacock around the gym (sorry Shaun) but is a very down to earth, genuinely interested in you sort of guy.

Shaun and PN Coaching take you through all manner of experiences, stripping back so called learnt information, to reveal what little you do actually know, about yourself, nutrition and fitness.

I came to Shaun in October 17 after happening upon him on the old www, and I had been a member on and off of SWorld for 10+ years, but never having truly managed to change my eating habits.
I was looking for a way to crack my inability to eat well, and in control, as well as eat better. I was never listening to my body and the signals it was giving me. PN and Shaun have completely transformed this area of my life, and although I know I am still early on in my journey, I know I have some amazing tools in my arsenal now. I eat well, I eat less and I feel a lot, lot better to boot.

Shaun is quietly able to really ‘get under your skin’ in the nicest possible way. He asks what is good about your week and this is initially so very hard to answer, but slowly you do remember the little things that are actually quite important, and Shaun makes you see that.

He takes me out of my zone of belief in myself, can I really row with a 16kg kettlebell? I only used an 8 or 10 at max in my weekly KB class. Now I row with a 16, yes it makes me work, but I can honestly say, without his belief in me, I would never have tried this. His attention to my exercise form has made a huge difference in my general workout abilities, and I really look forward to my time with Shaun. I’ve deadlifted more than I thought I could, and this is only the beginning of my journey.

What I guess I am saying is, Shaun was my missing link. No matter how much info is out there on the internet, nothing comes close to having a Shaun. Invest in yourself, because he will invest in you. I am proud to say he is my PT*

Teresa

My sessions are outdoors in the local park, regardless of the weather. The mindfulness due to location is a great bonus.
Shaun tailors a very personalised programme which he modifies for the random aches which arise from a non-mobile job role. I have discovered my glutes again.
Great, cost effective and fun sessions that embed getting the fundamentals of the core right. I look forward to improving my health and progressing in my skills*

---

Anne-Rose

Shaun is an amazing PT. He is focused and dedicated and makes every session challenging yet fun. Since starting with Shaun, my fitness has increased noticeably and I’ve seen improvements in my ability.

Shaun ensures that my technique is always correct to avoid any injuries.
He is also extremely reliable & punctual and i definitely recommend him.

---

Scott M.

I got in touch with Shaun as I had suffered a back injury and had been unable to work out for quite a few months. From the initial conversation I had with him it was clear to see he was personable, he listens to his clients, he’s approachable, he made me feel at ease and would provide a personalised work out for my individual needs. I have found that his sessions have strengthened what was my weak areas and I have been able to work out & push my limits but in safe way with Shaun always checking my form and making sure I’m not feeling unnecessary pain in areas that I shouldn’t.
I have had a few personal trainers over the years but none have been as personable as Shaun, they weren’t able to identify my strengths and weaknesses, and I have I never felt as much achievement so soon. I am highly impressed with Shaun, I genuinely look forward to his workouts and continue to recommend him to friends and family. Amazing value

C.A

“Thank you” seems somewhat inadequate after all you’ve had to contend with! I want to say the last 3+ years have always been the most relaxing or keenly anticipated, but I’ve always felt better after seeing you, and although I always think I could do better, you’ve made me realise how much has been achieved. Your attitude will take you far. You’ve taught me such a lot over these 3+ years proving that it’s never “too late to teach an old dog new tricks!”.

---

Tanvir

My experience was very good. I am stronger my stamina has increased and the nutritional advice was very helpful too. I am currently 2 kg away from achieving my goal of losing 14 kg. Thanks Shaun.

---

Pip

Shaun is a great P.T. really supportive and understanding, doesn’t put you under a lot of pressure or push you too hard. I only had four sessions to help with a program design but I really enjoyed them and found them so useful, they have really helped to better my gym routine. Would recommend Shaun to any of my friends who are looking for a P.T. in the Peterborough area, not expensive and definitely worth it. Thanks Shaun

---

Ricki

A great guy , and a top notch Personal Trainer

---

Pam

Shaun is both interesting and interested. We have many ‘What’s your take on……?’ conversations which are very two way and open my mind to alternative views/options.
Shaun will work with you, challenge you, believe in you and make you believe in yourself.

---

C.

After years of paying a gym membership and failing to drag myself along due to anxiety and depression, I found Shaun by doing a Google search for “personal trainer in Peterborough”. Shaun was quick to respond and after one phone call, convinced me that he was the right man for the job. I’ve just finished 6 months of training with Shaun, I have found the sessions enjoyable and haven’t experienced any of the anxiety I felt when I used a regular gym on my own. I also suffer with knee and back pain, but if any of the exercises caused pain, he always knew a modified version. Shaun is professional and organised and knows how to challenge you enough to help you reach your goals.

---

Kris.

Before starting my sessions with Shaun the most I had really done in the gym was some half-hearted time on the treadmill or a swim, always giving up after a little progress was made. Shaun really gets you thinking about what you want to achieve, and works with you to achieve those goals. There is a real satisfaction at being able to do things that a few weeks before were a real struggle. Nice guy too.

---

Stacy

For many years I had been thinking of changing my body shape and image. I knew it was going to take work and commitment, and I didn’t have the determination to do it alone. On a whim I reached out to PT SHAUN and got a quick response. I’m middle age and haven’t felt this strong and positive for over 25 years. He is professional, knowledgeable and motivating. Prompt and polite too.

---

Susan T

We work at my pace and I am working towards a lifestyle change doing what I can and the work is tailored to fit me.

---

Ian P

Shaun works with you and keeps the program relevant and manageable yet encourages to increase each session. Very personable

---

Doran

Within moments of completing the form, Shaun was on the case. We spoke a few times, not pushy but encouraging enough for me to take the leap. I see Shaun once a week but he is accessible for whenever I need him outside of our appointment. I’m really enjoying him and look forward to each week. So far so good. I’m very pleased and would recommend him.

---

Stephen

He is very helpful training me from beginner very good at what he does knows his pt

---

Tracey Henderson

A thoroughly lovely genuine guy with clients and their individual needs his absolute priority

---

Benjamin Muir

Shaun is a fantastic PT. As a physiotherapist I trust Shaun to take great care of my patients. He has a considerate and open to approach to fitness, health and overall wellbeing. His kind and warm persona helps to create a great relationship with his clients, who achieve amazing results.

---

Stephen Field

I have been using Shaun as a personal trainer to lose weight and gain muscle and strength training for a good number of months now when I first started I had a lot of issues with my weight confidence and general movement due to my back problems but since working with Shaun I have managed to grasp a great understanding of nutrition and what foods are good for me and how to workout safely and my general movement has become better.

I have also become more confident as a person as I used to only use the gym for a little bit as become self conscious of people around me I now have no issues with this and have grown as a person I have also along with my wife noticed a difference in my body I have muscles as for when I started I was over weight.

Shaun has made the experience a calm and easy going and also enjoyable and made me feel at ease every session I have also overcome some issues I was having as a person socially and been a easy going person to talk too.

---

Ady Q

I have known Shaun for a long time and have seen his own personal journey from the very beginning. He has shared with me his knowledge and enthusiasm along the way thru my own journey.

Shaun is very knowledgeable about nutrition and exercise whilst also being very honest at delivering feedback. Something he does as he only wants the best for his clients.
I have worked out with Shaun a number of times and feel the benefits from when he is there. He understands and can coach muscle growth and development also fat loss and weight control.

Would recommend.

---

Angelina

Highly recommend Shaun. I was really nervous about my first session – nervous about walking into a gym full of what I imagined would be super-fit people, nervous about what to expect, and also a bit nervous about facing up to what I needed to change. I am very gad I found Shaun! He put me at ease and was very good at digging behind my comments to find out what was really going on.

Sessions are fun, hard work, and definitely worth the time and effort. If you’re still unsure (as I was), I say take the plunge. You will not regret it and will soon see that little steps lead to positive changes.

---

Jackie D

When I found Shaun I was at a low point due to chronic musculoskeletal pain. I used to be pretty fit and worked out regularly so I had high expectations. Unfortunately for me, I quickly realised I had to go back to basics and Shaun took me on that journey.

The gym was pretty intimidating but having spoken to Shaun at great length on the phone, I felt confident that if I wanted this PT, I had to get over it.

For 12 months Shaun worked with me. Not just in regards to correct technique but also my confidence and mindful eating. I’ve always wanted to do strength training but never felt strong enough to achieve it. Shaun got me to a level I never thought was possible. Each session is recorded in your own little book which he provides so looking back I can see how far I have come. Outside of the sessions, he’s only a text message away and he didn’t mind the flurry of messages when I wanted to show him my latest achievement from a goal he had set me.

I’ve learnt enough to help myself now. Technique is so important and I’ve taken that onboard as I carry on while the Gyms are closed.

Shaun is very friendly, professional and encouraging. I recommend him and would return if I need to.

Vernon Brown

Being over weight, unfit and over 65 years old I was apprehensive prior to my first session with PT Shaun, however it didn’t take long for Shaun to put me at my ease .
I found him very professional and he soon produced a plan to meet my ability and needs, including a subtle change to my food and drink intake.
I would recommend his service to anyone even at my age.

---

Kayleigh Hotchkiss

So I started as a complete gym newbie and started training with Shaun back in September 2020 and throughout all the lockdowns he kept in touch, making sure I was alright and just to catch up.

He’s a super genuine guy and actually cares about your health, both physically and mentally. He’s not just your typical PT, he worked with me on my diet, if I was in a bad head space, he recommended meditation, which helped massively.

He listened to what I wanted to do with my training and thought about what would suit me best. He’s a great trainer with the patience of a Saint! I’ve had to stop training with him but he said that if I ever need a session to check out my progress on my own then he’d be more more happy to book me in. Very professional and friendly. I’d 100% recommend him to anyone and everyone. Thanks Shaun – top guy!

---

Ben Smith

Before starting this review I will say I was the same as you reading this. I was scrolling through the reviews seeing if Shaun was a PT worth contacting or not, and I was not disappointed!

When first contacting Shaun he immediately comes across as a polite and welcoming professional. You think you just ring and set up a meeting, but this is where he’s different he likes to know who you are and what he’s working with. He likes to have his notes, research and knowledge ready for when he meets you so he can work out the best outcome for you.

Now the gym part I’ll happily admit it’s a fear/anxiety you never overcome, but once your there with Shaun he makes you as comfortable as possible and shifts your focus/mind. Not only that as you start along the journey he gives you the confidence to power on, but also a mindset to do with consistency virtually if you don’t continue you lose track of everything you’ve started building and none of us like to go back to square one. Another plus is as well if you can’t make it one day due to work/illness or your just not feeling it, he also does video calls so you can still workout.

Saved the best till last Shaun not just a PT he’s someone who wants to help you achieve the best and become the best you can be and more! He helps you learn more mentally as well as physically, he gives his own perspectives to help you figure out yours so you can find the path in life you want to walk happily. These all include self-esteem, self awareness, careers, hobbies and etc.

Personally meeting Shaun is not only the best thing you can do in life, it’s the most effective and life changing thing you can do. He’s a teacher, a guide and a friend. I’d highly recommend his services and knowledge if you’re looking to see a change!

Reza Islam

I approached Shaun after being diagnosed Diabetic in June 2021. Even though I was just above the borderline, I was horrified I got myself to that state and what it meant for the long term.

I accepted that prognosis and still wanted to be in shape and feel stronger. I knew I needed more than just an ordinary trainer after numerous failed attempts at the gym.

Shaun cares. He helped me adapt my mindset to Health. He helped me become the strongest I’ve ever been. And after 3 months of strength building with Shaun, I was SHOCKINGLY able to reverse the Diabetes. I’m still training with Shaun 6 months-on and learning something new at every session.

Thanks Shaun buddy, don’t stop what you do!

---

Emillia Henry

Before attending PT sessions with PT Shaun I was Extremely nervous as I hadn’t seen a gym in years let alone exercised. Whilst recovering from mental health and fibromyalgia Shaun is a very understanding, empathetic coach who will talk you through not only training but life lessons and how to cope. I was half Expecting shouting and screaming but quite the opposite! He is encouraging and works with you but will push you to improve and grow into the individual you want to become. I would 10/10 recommend for anyone looking to start or continue their journey in the fitness and healthy lifestyle world. Thank you Shaun 🙂

Rory Aitken

I’ve worked with PT Shaun for over a year now, and it’s been a great experience which I would recommend to people of any level of fitness. I was unfit and had occasional back pain, hit my 40s and realised I needed to make a change before it was too late to fix properly. Shaun is a good listener and set me on a programme which is tailored to my needs, and probably very different to his other clients, there is no one-size-fits-all attitude. The key thing, I can’t state strongly enough, is that I have full trust in Shaun (which hasn’t always been the case with other PTs in my experience) and really matters when you’re pushing yourself physically. He’s always listening and observing, and seems to know better than me when to push and when to ease off, always with my long term goals in mind. Over the time we’ve been working together the changes have been hugely positive, both physically and mentally, and continues to deliver on what I had hoped. If you’re unsure about giving it a try, I would encourage you to do so, and I’m confident you’ll find Shaun to be an incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and thoughtful trainer who will be able to meet your needs in PT.

Raj Bennington

I started my PT sessions with Shaun just over 4 months ago. He put a lot of time in upfront to really understand my requirements and to tailor my sessions to suit my ability and more importantly my goals.

Shaun has the ability to create a very relaxing environment for training (which is a big plus for me) whilst balancing this with pushing me to reach my potential.

The sessions are fun and also educational and what I love the most is he will always explain the “why” when talking about nutrition and training. This has really helped me to create a different and more positive mindset towards things.

I feel like a have come a long way not only in my physical journey but also in becoming mentally stronger. I look forward to my sessions with Shaun but also enjoy telling him about the sessions I am now able to do independently as a result of his training. He’s always on the end of a phone to help me with those too.

We work collaboratively to adapt things as we go and that works really well.

Chris Hetherington

When I first started with Shaun I knew nothing about the gym or how to organise myself to get any form of progress with workouts. I knew nothing of nutrition or form and honestly was overwhelmed by the idea of the gym.

I have ADHD and anxiety and the idea of going to the gym was terrifying and my ADHD stopped me doing the research to help me calm those fears. Shaun took this in his stride however and really helped me figure out what I wanted from the gym and how to get there. He was not overly knowledgeable on the specifics of ADHD but he really took an interest to try and figure out the best ways to help me overcome my struggles and really listened when I found myself struggling.

Unfortunately I moved further away and can no longer make the journey to the gym Shaun works from but if I hadn’t moved I can safely say I would have stayed and taken advantage of Shaun’s knowledge and friendly attitude. I highly recommend Shaun if you’re new to the gym and a little bit worried about how to start or what to do because he really does make it so much easier. You even get a little book to help track your workouts 😉

---

Graham Hickmott

Shaun made starting out very easy with the right balance of education and motivation. An all round great guy who cares about his clients. He challenges you to challenge yourself and for me, it was my way of thinking. He goes out of his way to understand his clients and their needs, and is always on hand to offer advice and the motivation during the times when your self motivation is lacking. You won’t regret your time with Shaun, I definitely haven’t!

---

Robert Robinson

After spending over 30 years of “on and off” attendance at various gyms with little or no progress, I began the search for a professional PT. I decided to work with Shaun as he had not only helped others achieve their fitness goals but had transformed his own lifestyle and fitness – so he spoke from direct experience! In the 18 months I have been working with Shaun he has helped me get into the best shape of my life, in mid-life! Shaun has an inspiring approach through encouragement & motivation to help me achieve my fitness goals and is very easy to get along with. His advice stretches beyond pure physical training encompassing diet and mindset training amongst other things. In summary, if you are at a beginner, intermediate or advanced stage in the gym, Shaun will significantly enhance your efforts to achieve your fitness goals. I highly recommend him.

Great PT. Really friendly and encouraging. Tailors sessions to meet your needs and will let the client set the pace while still making sure to get a good workout. Shaun knows his stuff and can (and is happy to) help anyone who is willing to put in the hard work to lose weight or improve their overall fitness.

Shaun is very knowledgeable and friendly, I have made a lot of progress following his guidance. Working with Shaun has been a very good decision and I am glad that I made that choice. My previous attempts to join a gym were not so great and did not bring about any noticeable results, but this time it has worked out much better. Definitely a five star review from me.

I was hesitant about getting a personal trainer due to my back and weight issues. Shaun made me feel very comfortable, and quickly identified the issues I was having and how to resolve them. Every step of the way I was given all the information I needed, and was never pushed past my physical boundaries. I would recommend Shaun to anyone!

Late last year I decided to work on my health, I had found out that strength training and building muscle would benefit overall health. I started to look at the possible options I had in order to achieve better strength and muscle. I knew I wouldn’t manage in the gym on my own. I had a fear of people looking at me, which would lead to anxiety and then I would not go and work out. I also didn’t know how to be safe using equipment or have any idea of any program to follow to make progress. I have tried and failed to use a gym many times over the years.

So I searched online for personal trainers in my area. I contacted Shaun after reading the many positive reviews and his personal transformation story.

My goal when I started to work with Shaun was to lift heavy weights in order to get stronger and build muscles. I had no expectations of where I would be in 3months or 6months I just wanted to be consistent. He meets me where I am physically and mentally, tailoring my training to my needs and/or ability for each session. He is so patient and kind and will always push you to work hard to achieve the best results.

Since working out regularly with Shaun for the past 6 months I have seen progress surprisingly fast, not only with the amount of weight on the bar, but in my range of motion too. I realized recently that when I think about going to the Gym I no longer have that crippling anxiety about other people watching me and I feel like I would have the confidence to work out on my own in a gym environment. I have new skills and knowledge and a new found love for lifting heavy weight.

Thank you Shaun I really enjoy our sessions and conversations.
I can’t imagine training with any other PT.

I have been training under Shaun for about 2 and a half years, I’ve always found him to be extremely professional, caring and his time keeping is excellent. His expertises in his field are very good. We always discuss any aches and pains that arise and endeavour to sort them out, adjusting an exercise if necessary.
I am very satisfied with how my training is progressing and pitched at my specific needs and abilities. My strength and fitness has definitely improved.
I would recommend him as a personal trainer and thank him for all the time he has devoted to me.

PT Shaun has been brilliant. I have been training with him for 5 months now and he has helped me to improve my confidence, my health, my mental health and my eating habit’s, etc. He has been really supportive and given me loads of advice on how to help myself including sleeping, to keep going and be proud of what I am achieving so far. I am so pleased I have Shaun as my trainer and I took that leap to start training to improve myself which I am doing and getting better each week. If you are looking to make that step and need guidance for someone to train you, Shaun is the man!

Shaun is not your usual personal trainer. I envisioned them as loud, bossy, demanding and very expensive.
Shaun’s approach is definitely more personal than actual trainer. He listened to my fears around getting started and you could even say he was a bit of a therapist for me too. We worked together on a program that suited me, my needs, my time, my background and my budget!
He’s dedicated to his clients. Even if we didn’t have a session booked he’d still check in, offer his advice and be on WhatsApp for all the questions I threw at him no matter what time it was.
Shaun has changed my mindset on my health and exercise for the better. I can’t thank him enough for getting me started.

When I used to go to the gym by myself, I didn’t really know which exercises worked what muscles, what the best set and rep ranges were and I just felt like I wasn’t getting the best out of my time in the gym. So I contacted PT Shaun who was quick to respond and we set up a call because he wanted know more about me and whether we’d make a good team. I have been working with Shaun for over 5 years now so I can safely say we do indeed make a good team! He’s helped to teach me the correct form on exercises and now I feel I get the most out my time in the gym.

In the time we’ve worked together, I’ve become much stronger and built a lot of muscle. My day to day life has become easier too and I can do things like give my not so little kids a piggy back and do it all day without feeling like I can’t manage it. I look and feel good in my clothes which is a nice bonus too.

I look forward my sessions with Shaun and I hope to continue to make progress under his guidance for the foreseeable future. I would highly recommend him to anybody who is looking to learn how to do it the right way and get the results they’re looking for.

I started my PT sessions with Shaun just over 1 year ago the confidence in myself from then until now has changed massively not just physically but mentally. When I first started with Shaun I was very anxious/ nervous about it all as it was totally out of my comfort zone and something completely new to me , but Shaun made me feel very comfortable and at ease. If anyone is looking for a personal trainer I would 100% recommend Shaun he is amazing.

Before working with Shaun, I was intimidated by the gym, worried about the cost, and struggling with physical pain from my hospitality job. Hesitantly, I agreed to a session—and I am so glad I did! I trained with Shaun for six months, only stopping because I moved across the country.
Shaun is incredibly genuine, down-to-earth, and a fantastic listener. Whether I was stressing over my physical health, mental health, or financial struggles, he listened without judgment and coached me to find my own solutions rather than just barking orders.
Thanks to him, my mindset toward fitness has completely transformed, and I’ve even joined a new gym to keep going. I am incredibly grateful for Shaun’s impact on my life and highly recommend him!

I have rheumatoid arthritis, and before I started I was worried it would be hard to find a programme that actually worked around it rather than making things worse. From the start Shaun found exercises and adaptations that accounted for me.

Shaun’s not a pushy, macho type of trainer. He encourages and educates rather than pushes, and is focused on building habits that are manageable and will actually stick, rather than pushing people through something brutal as a short-term fix that they grit their teeth through and then never want to do again. He also has a solid understanding of the theory behind what he does, whether that’s the body, muscles, nutrition, or general lifestyle stuff, and if he doesn’t know something he’ll go and find out rather than guess. I also enjoy our conversations, which make even the hardest sessions go by quickly. Shaun reads widely and is always trying to learn more, so we end up discussing some really interesting topics.

I’ve been training with Shaun for several years now. I originally started to lose weight, but I’ve come to realise it’s an investment in my health that’s worth continuing with. The more we train, the better I feel physically and mentally, and I’d sacrifice a lot of other things before I’d stop our sessions. I have lost a lot of weight and gained a lot of strength and flexibility over the time we’ve worked together, and I like seeing the progress week on week – I can’t believe the things my body can do now compared to when we started. When it stalls, which happens, he’s good at helping me keep it in perspective instead of getting discouraged.

The gym we work out in is a great and welcoming environment. It attracts everyone from serious athletes to people just starting out, all shapes, sizes, genders and ages (including some really elderly people which I find quite inspiring). I’ve never felt out of place there.

I trained with Shaun for around 7 months and can honestly say it made a huge difference. He took the time to understand my goals and created a plan that was both challenging and achievable. Shaun was always supportive, knowledgeable, and great at keeping me motivated without making it feel like a chore. I’ve seen significant improvements in my fitness, strength, and confidence thanks to his coaching. Although I no longer train with him, I’d highly recommend Shaun to anyone looking for a fantastic personal trainer.
