NEIL'S ETHOS AND PHILOSOPHY

In the 7 years that I have worked in the health and fitness industry I have always been guided by the same core principles and these have become integral to how I apply myself and deal with my clients as a Personal Trainer. These principles have developed into an ethos that includes:

 

INDIVIDUALITY -  No two individuals are exactly alike, which is why I only deliver unique, tailored programmes and guidance for each and every client.

​

EVIDENCE-BASED - I pride myself on only using training methods and principles that are tried, tested and proven by science - science that, through years of study and practical application, I knows and understand.

​

TEACHING & COACHING - I believe that being a Personal Trainer is about more than just "instructing" exercise. I empower my clients by teaching and training them to understand their own bodies and how to exercise independently, giving them the tools to achieve their goals in a sustainable way.

​

RESPECT FOR GOALS - I believe that nobody should be pressured into looking a certain way or striving to achieve results to fit someone else's idea of what's desirable. I will help you achieve your goals, whatever they are, in a professional and non-judgmental way.

​

SHARED RESPONSIBILITY - I am a firm believer that Personal Training doesn't happen to you, it happens with you. Even the smallest of goals can't be achieved without a certain amount of commitment and effort on the part of the client, but that's ok, because I'm committed to assisting and supporting you every step of the way!

​

INCLUSIVITY - I believe that fitness, health and good nutrition should be available and encouraged for everyone, no matter your age, size, colour, gender, sexuality or health status. That's why I am equally encouraging and supportive of clients from all backgrounds and all fitness levels, from ultra-fit Marine Commandos to older, first time exercisers.
