Colin: I got into fitness simply by training at my local gym. Over time, I found myself naturally helping other members with technique and advice, and I realized how much I enjoyed seeing people improve. That’s what inspired me to become a personal trainer

Since getting qualified, I’ve learned that training isn’t just about what happens in the gym, it’s about how lifestyle, habits, and mindset all come together to build long-term strength and health. Helping my clients get this balance right keeps me motivated every day.

The fitness industry is always evolving, and I love staying on top of the latest research to make sure my coaching is as effective as possible. My goal is to help people not just reach their short-term goals but to stay strong and capable for life.

Testimonials

Josh

“I am a Paralympic swimmer. I started working with Colin in May this year. Shortly after I began to see results in the pool. He has been very accommodating to my disability and has managed to make me a more powerful swimmer. Colin has worked on my strengths and weaknesses in the gym. At my latest competition I improved several of my best race times. Much of this is down to the commitment Colin has shown towards my goals.”

Megan

To anyone looking to start exercising or improving their fitness, Colin is the man. Colin is a fully qualified personal trainer who knows his industry and how to push you to achieve the best results. He has a firm but playful manner. Although he makes you work hard during the sessions you can have a laugh at the same time. Coming from someone who has never been a fan of exercise, he has changed my attitude and taught me to enjoy improving my fitness.

Laura

Training with Colin began in August last year. Having suffered with anxiety and panic attacks, I was in a negative cycle both physically and mentally. As a result, I knew I had to make a change. Choosing to train with Colin has proven to be an invaluable decision and the change that I needed. Personally, I look forward to my sessions each week. Since starting the effects have been remarkable in terms of my physical and mental health. My anxiety has significantly reduced and I feel stronger than I ever have before. Colin has always been encouraging and patient, particularly at the start when I felt out of my depth. I am now capable of doing exercises that I never thought possible thanks to the belief he has in his clients. He never accepts that I can’t do something and he’s always there to give me the confidence and motivation I need to keep pushing myself further. My personal training sessions along with FitFunBootcamp, FitFunBoxing and now FitFunKettlebells have become an integral part of my week. Thanks to Colins support I have been able to regain control over my mind and body.

It is my real pleasure to have Colin as a Personal Trainer. I have been seeing him regularly for over a year. The experience is always splendid: intense and fantastic at the same time. Intense as the level of effort expected by Colin is consistently high but fine-tuned to my needs and ability. Fantastic due to Colin’s interpersonal skills, which are really helping to make the sessions fun and positive. Yes! Even the ‘dreaded’ early morning workouts in grim weather when my bed is warm and inviting… Colin always managed to refocus me on my goal of running the Milton Keynes Marathon at the beginning of May last year. Over the course of the year, he tailored my programme with a great amount of care, raising the intensity level as we got closer to the race. His regular checks during the week, to see if I was on track, were welcome and he often had to amend training plans to help me with the occasional injury, high workload, etc. His dedication has been superb and I do not think I could have expected more from him. He even travelled to Milton Keynes on the day of the race to congratulate me at the finish. I am rather happy with my time of 3hr 50mins for my very first marathon! LOOKING FORWARD Now I have achieved my goal. However Colin will not get rid of me so easily. We have already devised a pretty challenging new goal for next April, with a series of intermediate steps along on the way to keep me focused. If you are thinking of contacting a Personal Trainer, I can assure you that you will not regret getting in touch with Colin. His consistency, his knowledge, his hard work and friendly personality have completely made the difference. In summary, he’s a top notch guy, top notch experience, top notch results!
