Testimonials

Tony Merrikin

“I have been training with John for a while now, currently training to meet Royal Navy fitness standards. I started training with John to get fit to pass my initial Royal Navy fitness test. With John’s help and instructions I have reached goals I thought were out of my reach in fitness and thanks to him I passed my fitness test. John makes training enjoyable and interesting, it is never the same twice and always makes sure a target is reached. He also understands that training is not easy and though he expects one hundred per cent from you he takes his time and helps you get past your fitness obstacles. I would recommend John to anyone looking to get fit and reach their goals, I also recommend John to anyone joining the armed forces that have standards to meet as a requirement.”

“When losing weight on my own I hit the wall and was struggling. I needed help finding motivation and help choosing the correct exercises for me. John offers the support you need and plans all your sessions, adding new exercises each session. Since having Personal Training with John I have lost inches on my hips and I can now see me reaching my target.”

Chris

“John is a highly professional, experienced Personal Trainer who, through my experience, makes himself aware of my individual needs to improve my fitness and health. I am therefore very confident that I am working towards my own personal goals and achieving the results I had hoped for. John is very friendly, personable and gives me confidence in my goals and achievements. I would not hesitate in recommedning John as a Personal Trainer.”

Nicola

“I have always found John to be prompt, friendly and professional at all times. The programmes are tailored to suit the individual but also to push you that bit further. If you come to the gym but are not seeing results or are getting bored doing the same few things each week then PT is for you. With each session there is a progression and I found that I was getting stronger and my body shape was changing all the time. If you are willing to put in a little time, effort and commitment yourself, you will have the most toned firm body that you have ever known! The rates are very reasonable, I know friends who have paid double this and more elsewhere in the country. Good luck with your training. PS… don’t plan a big event the day after your first session as you are guaranteed to ache no matter how fit you think you are!”

Anita

“Having a personal trainer as dedicated and enthusiastic as John has been great for me, I have so much more motivation and I am really seeing and feeling the results.”

Yvonne

“I joined the gym to regain my fitness and strength after having really horrendous problems with my back. Did I go as often as I should and did I enjoy it. No I didn’t and then I took advantage of a free appointment with a Personal Trainer and met John, now I look forward to going to the gym and really enjoy what I am doing plus getting stronger and fitter every week. So thanks John for not only bringing health but fun into keeping fit.”

Helen

“Have been training at my local gym for about 1 year now. Although I have lost some weight and toned up, I felt that I was not achieving the results I wanted from my gym sessions. So I decided to seek Johns help as my Personal Trainer. Having John as my Personal Trainer has been fantastic. He keeps me motivated and on track both with my training and nutrition. John has developed a unique and structured workout designed to suit me, using weight training, cardio exercise, kettlebells, supplement use and diet. Johns sessions are fun, challenging, yet also rewarding. He knows how hard to push me, then pushes me harder! With his support and encouragement I have achieved things I never thought I could do. He has also taught me to believe in myself. As a result I am fitter, leaner and have increased my strength levels. Johns extensive knowledge, enthusiasm, committment and professionalism have provided me with the perfect foundations for success. If you are looking for a Personal Trainer, then I would highly recommend John Spence.”

Patricia

“Generous with his time, expertise and advice, John is always patient and caring. He has a quiet and unassuming manner, using humorous encouragement to enthuse and motivate clients to achieve more than they thought they could. At the age of 65, I have become fitter and stronger than I ever thought I could, thanks to his encouragement. My blood pressure and cholesterol levels have dropped to near normal levels. I hope he will still be gently ‘bullying’ me when I am 75 years old! Thank you, John.”

Nikki

“I have been training with John for nearly 2 months now and I have already noticed a difference in how toned I am. I always used the gym regularly but found that I wasn’t stretching myself and was constantly doing the same exercises. I now have a greater understanding of the benefits of using free weights and using alternative exercise regimes. This has already made a real difference. I enjoy the sessions as they are always varied and this helps keep my motivation in the gym when John is not around. The sessions are hard but John is always enthusiastic so that you achieve the results that you want. Importantly he takes time to understand you and your body so that he knows how hard you can work and what you can achieve. I would absolutely recommend John as a personal trainer – not only does he help you achieve your goals he helps you have fun while you are doing it!”

Malcolm

“John is an excellent motivator, for years I have struggled progressing with my exercises and failing to see any gains or physical changes. I started doing personal training with John and within a month I noticed my body developing shape and strength. John pushes you in a good way to help you achieve levels never achieved before. I would recommend John to anybody who is wishing to move to the next level.”
