Client Feedback
Twelve months ago when I decided to take a career break one of my priorities was to look after myself better than I had in the past. Like many people I blamed my busy routine for not paying more attention to my health and fitness. Also like many people I had joined a gym but never went and bought lots of exercise equipment but never used it.
Then one day a good friend pointed out the following, ‘…if you need to pay attention to your teeth, you see a dentist. For your hair you see a hair stylist, your feet a chiropodist etc…so, if you want personal and focused help with your fitness and nutrition see a personal trainer!’
I have now visited Simon Farrar at least once a week for the past twelve months and I am delighted with the progress. Having Simon as a personal trainer has pushed me to a level of fitness I didn’t think I could achieve. His guidance has also made me realise how well I can feel if I choose. Simon’s advice and recommendations are tailored to the client and their objectives, which is not surprising as we are all different and at different levels of health and fitness.
I would be delighted to recommend Simon Farrar Personal Training to anyone seeking this type of advice and support.
Dear Simon,
Seven or eight years ago I stopped playing rugby. Ever since the combined effects of a working life behind a desk coupled with the occasional bout of corporate hospitality have taken a steady toll on my aching back and expanding waistline.
I have made numerous New Year's resolutions to do something about it, but they have quickly fallen by the wayside. Now, however, by making the commitment to train with you each week, I finally feel that I am making progress. Sure I could have joined a gym, but if no-one minds whether I turn up or not, it's all too easy not to go.
By training with you I find myself not only benefiting from the sessions themselves, but also conscious of what I eat and how I exercise during the rest of the week. That's not to say that I've become a tea-total vegan, but that you've helped me achieve a happier and healthier medium.
In two months I've noticed the need to tighten my belt a notch or two and the way in which you have designed the exercises so as to strengthen the core muscles to support my back has been a great help. I look forward to continuing to work with you to sustain the improvement.
Yours sincerely,
Dear Simon,
I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you so much for theway you have reshaped my life. I can't believe that in the few short weeks since I first sought your help to get me into shape for my daughter's wedding you have truly helped to transform me and I will be proud to stand next to Catherine and give her away feeling and looking much slimmer, fitter and more confident than I would had I tried to do it on my own and without your help, encouragement and skills.
My goal was to lose weight and tone up so that I could choose a nice outfit to wear at the wedding and feel happy in it. I also wanted to become healthier as I spend a lot of time sitting in front of my computer at work and sitting in my car to and from work, not a good combination when you want to try to be fit and healthy.
I think the secret is that you started with an assessment of my lifestyle, diet, overall strength and flexibility and then tailored a fitness training course just for me. I was amazed at how good I felt after only one session and went on to have two or three a week, getting stronger all the time.
I fully intend to stay on course now that I am stronger and fitter and to carry on with regular training sessions every week, encouraging my staff at MW Design & Marketing and my family and friends to do the same.
I can thoroughly recommend your services to anyone who asks, be it a corporate or individual client, so please pass them on to me if they need a reference.
Gratefully yours,
Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable & totally at ease with. Highly recommend.
Simon provides targeted training aimed at achieving personal goals. He wrote me a tailor-made programme that took into account the fact that I get back pain. He also helped me to improve my weight-training technique which helped to correct a shoulder-complaint I had been suffering from that had previously put me off exercising. I really enjoy the training sessions and it has been brilliant to see the improvement in my strength and fitness. My body fat dropped from 27% to 15% in just 4 weeks with Simon’s intensive 1 month toning program! My whole body is a different shape now - I’m leaner, stronger, more defined and feel much fitter.
I used to smoke, get wheezey just climbing the stairs and be generally out of condition. In just 3 months my upper body strength has doubled, my cardiovascular fitness level (VO2 max) has increased from 35 to 50, my body fat has dropped from 24% to 19% and I regularly go on a 7 mile run! I would definitely recommend Simon to anybody who wanted to improve any aspect of their fitness
The motivation and encouragement from the one-to-one fitness sessions make having a Personal Trainer much better than going to a public gym. I feel much stronger and fitter
