Testimonials about physique training

Conrad has a 360 degrees approach to training which includes attention to diet, and how you live life outside of the gym – not just pumping iron. But most of all he is motivational, which keeps you focused on the goals you set”

“I chose Conrad to get me into condition before the summer, but didn’t realise that more than just a personal trainer I was getting a lifestyle coach. The results speak for themselves; between April and August he turned me from someone who looked all right in a suit but definitely not in swim trunks –  into a lean toned guy who managed to turn heads on the beach – and that hasn’t happened for 20 years! Conrad has a 360 degrees approach to training which includes attention to diet, and how you live life outside of the gym – not just pumping iron. But most of all he is motivational, which keeps you focused on the goals you set yourself. Although I signed up for 3 months I am now back for more as realise I can still improve further. If you want to sign up with Conrad, I suggest you book early and in advance – he is getting very popular!”

1 Conrad has got me into the best shape of my life for my wedding, dropping over 10% body fat whilst putting on a couple of kilo’s of muscle in the months leading up to the big day”

“Conrad is an outstanding personal trainer, and I highly recommend him whatever your goals are. Conrad has got me into the best shape of my life for my wedding, dropping over 10% body fat whilst putting on a couple of kilo’s of muscle in the months leading up to the big day.

I have always been someone who has struggled with his weight, with a love of food (especially heavy pasta meals), wine and late nights out on the drink topped off with takeaways, meaning that even as a regular gym goer I’ve always been a little on the chubby side.

Conrad has completely revolutionised my training, working on correcting the many imbalances resulting from a spinal injury suffered playing rugby as a teenager, and a preference to try and lift as heavy weight as possible.

He’s focused on my weak points, applying his very detailed technical knowledge to even out the imbalances in my body and re-training me on the fundamental exercise patterns to get my form right. It really has been like going back to school, starting over with much lighter weight, but with perfect form and getting much better results.

He’s also revolutionised my diet, helping me to eliminate the many hidden forms of sugar and fat forming carbs that are even prevalent in modern day “healthy” foods. By switching to more natural foods, and discarding the fat-free “healthy” option in favour of natural fats, my body has changed dramatically without ever really feeling I’ve been starving or denying myself. 

He has a very focused, analytical approach and is in regular contact to offer support and advice, take questions and help keep you motivated. You can see from the before and after shots he is the real deal.”

1 I found that his friendly approach and willingness to educate me on the methods of training he uses made me better understand my body, how to train effectively and it meant I saw great results”

“Conrad helped me get back in to the gym after a bad neck injury and months of physio. I found that his friendly approach and willingness to educate me on the methods of training he uses made me better understand my body, how to train effectively and it meant I saw great results quickly. The program he designed for me was simple and easy for me to follow on my own and I really valued the way he would add to that program after each PT session. This meant that I didn’t become bored with my workout as it constantly progressed as my strength and ability increased. The true testimony of his work was when I went back to the physio and he couldn’t believe the progress I had made and subsequently wanted to recommend another patient to Conrad!

My husband and I both train with Conrad and I would highly recommend him for whatever fitness goals you have.”

I found him to be extremely professional, detailed and inspiring and I can’t recommend him highly enough”

“I went to Conrad with what I felt was a near impossible task, to completely change my body shape, lose body fat, tone and build muscle in 6 weeks. I am amazed and delighted with the results. I found him to be extremely professional, detailed and inspiring and I can’t recommend him highly enough. Not only did he help train me and reach my goal but he has changed my attitude towards diet and taught me the best way to make my body work for itself. The work I have done with him in the past 6 weeks will ensure I continue to go from strength to strength in future as I found each session challenging but also educational. He has a way of explaining things that just makes sense. Worth every penny!”

Conrad’s advise on nutrition, breathing, posture etc has given me a greater understanding of how my body functions, the benefits of muscle strength and the direct impact of nutrition on my body. As a result I lost body fat, gained muscle weight, achieved greater definition and ultimately have a greater body confidence”

“Feeling low, frustrated and out of shape after a long term foot and hip injury as a result of too much running, a friend recommended to see Conrad. I had never properly trained in a gym before and assumed I would not like it. Two years on I can say that not only am I in a good shape mentally and physically but also the injury problems disappeared. I now really enjoy working out in a gym- especially training with weights which I have come to see as my friends and allies.
Conrad’s training programs are carefully put together with my long term goals in mind, are varied and are adopted regularly. He is very motivational and fun to work with. A lot of attention is paid to technical details and how exercises are executed.

What I really appreciate is that the care is not limited to the weekly training sessions. Conrad’s advise on nutrition, breathing, posture etc has given me a greater understanding of how my body functions, the benefits of muscle strength and the direct impact of nutrition on my body. As a result I lost body fat, gained muscle weight, achieved greater definition and ultimately have a greater body confidence.

It has been a long journey and I am looking forward to continuing to train with Conrad.”

Over a period of 6 months Conrad has transformed my body. I’ve lost 10cms around my waist (AMAZING!) and my weight has gone down a massive 11kg and I could not feel happier with the results”

“Over a period of 6 months Conrad has transformed my body. I’ve lost 10cms around my waist (AMAZING!) and my weight has gone down a massive 11kg and I could not feel happier with the results. Training with Conrad is fun and I look forward to my sessions in the gym which is nothing short of miraculous!  I look better than I have ever done but most importantly I feel better: healthier, happier and more positive about life. Thank you Conrad!”

“My main objective was to lose body fat, in particular a few inches around the waist, without losing muscle mass.

“My main objective was to lose body fat, in particular a few inches around the waist, without losing muscle mass. Conrad put together a program where we trained for 3 times per week, with a further 1-2 days of training by myself. The training slots increased in intensity each week and comprised a mixture of body weight and free weight exercises. I booked 10 sessions to ensure I remained committed, moreover, it also proved better value.

I was particularly pleased about the variety of exercises Conrad chose which developed muscles I had simply ignored in my previous training. Conrad introduced me to many new exercises and combinations of exercises that I revisit and mix up time and time again. My key results after 5 weeks were:

• Around 3 inches off my waist
• Noticeably improved general fitness
• No decrease in strength – In fact, I was able to lift more in shoulder exercises, having trained secondary support muscles.

Conrad listened carefully to my needs, constructed a well-tailored, varied and interesting personal training program that involved some intense one-on-one training sessions, an individual supporting plan as well as comprehensive dietary advice. The sessions and Conrad’s encouragement pushed me to get the results I was after. In all, a very satisfied customer.”

I’ve seen the results from the work I’ve done, I’m now keen to redefine my body shape and build muscle. I couldn’t have done it on my own and Conrad’s support has been invaluable.

“After many years of bad diet, no exercise and long hours at work, I took a long hard look at myself and realised that I needed to take urgent action. My initial objective was to lose weight and get into better shape, but as the sessions have progressed over these past 6 months and as I’ve seen the results from the work I’ve done, I’m now keen to redefine my body shape and build muscle. I couldn’t have done it on my own and Conrad’s support has been invaluable.

Our initial focus was on core strength, weight loss and body shape. Now the focus is on muscle building, definition and proportion. Going through a program where you see progress is highly motivational. Focusing on diet has also been a big part of the program – cutting out rubbish and unhealthy ready meals and focusing on healthy options. Again, Conrad has been supportive with this providing recipes and healthy food alternatives.

I have learned that once you get into a routine, it becomes second nature. It’s also fun. But you need encouragement and expertise advice if you’re to make progress.

It’s been quite a transformational experience – I wish I had done it years ago. Once you get into a routine it becomes second nature, its also fun. But you need encouragement and expert advice if you’re to make progress. My physique has changed significantly – 8 inches lost around the waist and I am now bench-pressing over 110% of my body weight. My attitude is much more positive. I also have so much more energy. While it’s been hard work, it’s also been a lot of fun.”

Conrad keeps the training varied, interesting and focused on my specific needs.

“Conrad has been my trainer for the past 18 months or so and I highly recommend him. He has a really positive and professional approach to training and fitness. Conrad keeps the training varied, interesting and focused on my specific needs. The sessions are always quite challenging, but he provides good encouragement to keep me progressing.

I have also been impressed that his advice is not limited to the training sessions – rather, he goes the extra mile to provide me with home training routines, nutrition and eating advice, and other input focused on my overall well being.

I have been very pleased with the results he has helped me attain, and look forward to continuing working with him.”
