Client Testimonial

Excellent personal training, enjoying the sessions and feeling energised, toned up and fit at the end of every session. Sharath is definately one of the best trainers i have ever had

Client Testimonial

Sharath is, hands down, the best trainer I have ever worked with. I have embarked on a serious transformation with him and currently 4 weeks in, because of his guidance, knowledge and patience. He takes his role as trainer/coach seriously; your goals become his goals, your issues become his. I train twice a week, and most importantly at my home which helps with connivance, but he also coached me outside - nutrition, sleep, focus, he attends to it all, as he knows that that's the only way to achieve sustainable results. I recommend him highly.

Always helping to increase the intensity of the exercises, in a safety way. I am lifting weights that I never thought I would be able to lift, without pain or injuries. Highly recommended!

Client Testimonial

I started training with Sharath in September 2023 after letting my fitness go and putting on over 3 stone. I had never used a PT before but Sharath immediately put me at ease and gave me the confidence to try really effective resistance training that I had not done before. He also gave me helpful nutritional advice that has massively improved my diet. I have now lost over 2 stone and can see a massive difference in my body shape. Training with Sharath is always a pleasure and he really pushes me complete that extra rep when my arms and legs are telling me to give up! He is very reliable and I would highly recommend him as an excellent trainer!

Client Testimonial

I did 10 half hour antenatal PT sessions with Sharath. He was friendly, attentive and listened to what I wanted to obtain out of the training. He always checked in with me at every session to find out how I was feeling and tailored the exercise for that session accordingly which was very helful. It meant that I enjoyed my sessions and left feeling like I had workout but not too exhausted as I progressed in my pregnancy. He concentrated on the areas that I wanted to work on and provided advice and suggestions for workouts I could do at home to compliment the PT sessions. Overall I am extremely happy with the results and I look forward to working with him postnatally.

Client Testimonial

Trained with Sharath for 2 months and I could see significant improvements. He is very experienced in hypertrophy training, pushes you to go that extra mile and achieve your goals. He is also quite knowledgeable with diet and supplements and can provide the food regime that fits your goals. He is focussed and genuinely cares about his clients' objectives on and off the gym. I very much enjoyed training with him.
