For me this goes hand in hand with exercise and a good eating plan so when I saw the advert for one to one personal training with absolute fitness personal training I arranged a free consultation session. We<\/span><span style=\"color: #000080;\"> discussed what I wanted to achieve, initially weight loss was my first goal, now today its my fitness. So far I have lost over 50 pounds in weight, which I have achieved with johns help &amp; advice, together with the right exercise and eating plan. There have been weeks when i haven&#8217;t lost weight but John has an encouraging word saying that I have lost inches &amp; also toned my body &amp; not to lose focus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">I started with a one hour session per week along side exercise away from the gym, now i am doing a further 2 x 1\/2 hour sessions per week. Every session is interesting , different and hard work but fun. You get out what you put in. I look forward to going to the gym every week &amp; miss it when I&#8217;m away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">I also started running in Oct 2011 &amp; John encourages me with that, as I&#8217;m not a natural runner, he gives advice which helps me push myself to different goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">I would recommend Absolute Fitness to anyone wanting to improve their health &amp; fitness level &amp; enjoy it at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1929\" alt=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.absolutefitnesspt.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/image5-160x160.jpg\" width=\"160\" height=\"160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.absolutefitnesspt.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/image5-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/www.absolutefitnesspt.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/image5-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.absolutefitnesspt.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/image5-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.absolutefitnesspt.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/image5-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.absolutefitnesspt.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/image5-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.absolutefitnesspt.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/image5-268x268.jpg 268w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Great job John &amp; thank you<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Kath Sharman.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Lacking in confidence to join a conventional gym, I approached Absolute Fitness Personal Training 12 months ago, and have not looked back since. Achieving a weight loss of 2 \u00bd stones, losing 18cm from around my waist, 13cm from around my hips and dropping in dress size from 16 to 12. I am about to compete in a 10k charity run, and before training with Absolute Fitness I would not even have considered this I highly recommend Absolute Fitness Personal Training to all.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Linda Clarkson.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">I\u2019ve always been a bit \u201cgymophbic\u201d \u2013 I\u2019ve joined gyms before and then not lasted longer than a few months before finding excuses not to go. so when three friends suggested I join then at absolute fitness personal training I wasn\u2019t totally enthusiastic. That was 10 months ago when I was a size 14, heading downhill towards size 16. Now I\u2019m slimmer , fitter and healthier and a comfortable size 12. I\u2019ve lost inches From around my waist, inches From my hips and 2 stones in weight. The gym has a really friendly atmosphere and not only do I look forward to my twice weekly gym session but I even joined the Gi-Jane training program. I would highly recommend Absolute Fitness Personal Training to anyone. Whatever fitness level. If you feel a bit apprehensive about starting. Give it a go, you might actually get hooked \u2013 i did!<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Rebecca bottomley.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">I&#8217;ve never been a gym lover and hate the thought of excerising, but after putting on 3 stone with my first child I had no option! I was recommended John by many of my clients so i thought I&#8217;d give it a whirl! My first impression was professional, fun and relaxed! There&#8217;s no worry of feeling fat or frumpy in front of other gym members and it&#8217;s more enjoyable in your own private gym! John always makes my sessions different and pushes me to the limit, I never get bored and I&#8217;ve been training with john 7 months! I&#8217;m only 3lbs off my target weight and feel healthier and more toned than ever! I now know more about health and fitness (and exactly how many calories I need to eat to survive and loose weight at the same time) I&#8217;ve learnt more at absolute fitness pt than I ever have done in all my gym memberships before! One on one personal training is definately the way foward and even more so when I take my 9 month old son along with me every week!
