Northampton Personal Trainer and Online Coach

No. Cutting out foods you enjoy is the fastest way to make a diet you can’t stick to, and a diet you can’t stick to won’t get you anywhere.

You’ll get a structured approach built around whole foods, sensible portions, and habits that fit your actual life. Gareth lost over 37kg without giving up his beer or his holidays. Hanna lost over 21kg while making choices she could keep making after the weight came off.

The aim is consistency, not perfection. If your plan falls apart the first time you go out for dinner, it was the wrong plan.

No. Building a significant amount of muscle takes years of deliberate training, eating in a surplus, and doing it consistently. It doesn’t happen by accident, and it doesn’t happen quickly.

For most people, lifting weights does the opposite of what they’re worried about. It holds onto muscle while you lose fat, which is what makes the difference between simply weighing less and actually looking different. Strength work also supports your joints, your posture, and your ability to keep training as you get older.

Your programme is built around your goal. If you want to lose fat and feel stronger without adding size, that’s what we train for.

Personal training is hands-on. We train together at Foundry Gym Northampton, I coach your technique in the moment, and I adjust the session as it happens based on what I’m seeing in front of me.

Online coaching gives you the same programming and nutrition guidance, but you train on your own schedule. Your plan comes through the app, you log your sessions, and we adjust things through weekly check-ins.

The honest answer is that in-person suits you if you want someone in the room, whether that’s for technique, motivation, or simply having the session in the diary. Online suits you if you’re happy to train alone but want the structure and accountability behind it.

If you’re local and undecided, book an assessment, and we’ll work it out then. That conversation is what the assessment is for.

No. Most people who come to me haven’t trained before, or haven’t trained in years, and almost everyone feels self-conscious about that at the start.

Ahmed had never set foot in a gym before his first session. Eighteen months later he was 36kg down. Teddy came in with no experience at all and completely changed his body in twelve weeks.

Everything is built around where you are now. I’ll teach you the technique, start you at a level that’s manageable, and progress it as you get stronger. You won’t be thrown into anything you’re not ready for, and you won’t be left guessing what to do.

Personal training sessions are bought in blocks and used at whatever pace suits you, with sessions valid for 12 months from purchase. There’s no ongoing contract and no monthly commitment.

Online coaching runs month to month at £145. There are no contracts, so if you want to stop you cancel before your next payment date.

Either way, you’re never locked in. If something isn’t working, tell me and we’ll adjust it.

Everything starts with a 60-minute Initial Assessment at Foundry Gym Northampton.

We’ll talk through your goals, your training history, and anything that’s got in the way before. I’ll assess how you move, and by the end you’ll have a clear plan showing exactly what needs to happen to get the results you’re after.

There’s no obligation to book a block afterwards. If you do decide to go ahead, the £45 assessment fee comes off your first block.

You can book your assessment on the personal training page.

Personal training with me in Northampton costs £36 to £50 per session, depending on how many sessions you book. A single session is £50. Buying a block brings the rate down: 4 sessions at £45 per session, 8 at £42, 12 at £39 and 16 at £36.

Your first step is an assessment, which costs £45. If you then book a block, I credit the full £45 against it. The credit applies to blocks only, not to single sessions.

All sessions take place at Foundry Gym on Bridge Street, Northampton. If you are already a member, the assessment fee is all you pay. If you’re not a member yet, tell reception you’re here to see me, and they’ll reduce your day pass from £10 to £5.

If you continue training with me after your assessment, you will need a Foundry Gym membership, paid directly to the gym.

For personal training, yes. PT clients need a Foundry Gym membership, paid to the gym. If you’re not a member yet, you only need a day pass for your assessment. Tell reception you’re here to see me, and they’ll reduce your day pass from £10 to £5. For online coaching, no. You train wherever suits you.

By appointment: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 5am to 6pm, and Saturday 5am to 10:30am. No Wednesdays or Sundays.
