''I’ve spent most of my life working in the fitness and bodybuilding supplement business but as the years crept on, with two young kids and two businesses to run I found I was talking the talk more than walking the walk . My body fat % had steadily crept up and while I could still heave some heavy weight around my overall fitness was shocking, and worse than that,my ability to vertical jump, move at velocity and over all physicality was worse than it had been in a lot of years.

I knew what I needed in a PT and Ged was the perfect fit, my requirements from a PT were to significantly lower my body fat % , increase overall fitness levels and importantly regain my functional strength and physicality back. Ged couldn’t have been more of a perfect trainer , his “back to basics” approach to fitness and history in breaking body weight exercise records was exactly the expertise I needed.

I took Ged on in January, on an intensive 4 days per week blast for a couple of months, Ged worked with my weight training workouts and merged a result producing combination of Calisthenic, Plyometric, and Strength exercises which constantly challenged my body. An hour of exercise with a 20kg weight on my back, using everything from a kids playground to a football goal post became our gym . As the weeks went on I consistently dropped body fat but equally became fitter exponentially.

Ged was also constantly flexible and able to merge cohesively my own training with his techniques in a manner which always ensured we got the best of both worlds, avoided injuries and kept making progress both in my quest for lean muscle mass but with his focus of fat loss and functional strength and fitness.

Combining Ged’s training with my own workouts a sensible diet has changed my body shape entirely. My Body fat % has dropped in 5 months from 25% down to 12%, whilst gaining significant muscle mass and increasing my fitness levels beyond all recognition. Closing in on 200 star jumps in 120 seconds or aggressive pad work in 2 minute bursts, I’ve blown past our initial meetings where I would be gassed in 30 seconds of intense exercise.

As I’m now in solid shape, we work out just once a week together, but i’ll retain Geds’ service indefinitely as his training methods are a perfect complement to my own, and ensure I stay flexible, with a great focus on fat loss and overall fitness and functional core strength.

Before I finish, a point I should make which is very important is that Ged’s strength, lies not just in his training but in his ability to motivate. Never downbeat, constantly up tempo constantly praising and motivating , he always had the ability to raise my game at the last lung bursting section of an exercise to keep pushing the barriers.

To cut a very long story short, I can absolutely recommend Ged for a variety of requirements from improving flexibility and fitness, to advanced core strength and fat burning training and everything else in between.

I’ll continue to use Ged’s services alongside my own training as making that one hour a week commitment to a really intense fitness orientated program is vitally important to my success and ability to stick to my efforts in the gym. Without Ged knocking on my door once a week, I simply wouldn’t get out of bed and go and do the kind of training which takes you to the edge. To keep improving on a consistent basis without the will power of Hercules, very few will keep it up without a committed motivator like Ged.''
