Stacey review

I started training with Michael in February 2017 and I can honestly say it was the best decision I’ve made. In 9 months I’m 4 1/2 stone down, gone from a size 18 to a 10/12 and I'm the healthiest I’ve been in my life. Having always been overweight and not really into any form of exercise I knew that I needed to do something but was dreading that feeling of being judged by somebody seeing how unfit I was and discussing my bad eating habits with them. I should never have been worried, from the moment I met Micheal I was made to feel relaxed. There wasn’t this pressure to do everything straight away, it was small changes to my diet and daily routine (such as making sure when I was walking the dog I increased my pace, making sure I had protein with every meal). That we then built on each week, so that I now train 3 times a week with him and my diet is totally different to what it used to be, but still allows for treats and holidays!

When it comes to training Micheal is great at encouraging me and pushing me that bit further than I can do myself. We often joke about his little phrases - but they do add such encouragement to the work out. Never did I think the highlight of my week would be being told that I had done a perfect squat!

Somebody asked me the other day that as I had lost the weight, would I now stop training with my PT? My reply was are you joking, I love my training and would never give it up - Something that I never thought would have come out of my mouth! Micheal is stuck with me now! Read more...
