"In August 2009, I decided I wanted to celebrate my 40th birthday in style. So, decided I would run the London Marathon in 2011 !! Not everyone’s choice I agree. So, guaranteed of a charity place, my next thought was training. Having done gym training before and the novelty wearing off after 6 months I needed to do something different. Yes a personal trainer.
I have been training with Nigel now for a year and the results so far have been incredible. I have lost 8kg in body fat, dropped almost 2 dress sizes, came 2nd in the Ramsey 3 lap Park Run series and knocked a whooping 17 ½ minutes off my PB for the half marathon here in the north of the island.
Training sessions are full of variety; I have never had 2 sessions the same. Nigel is really encouraging and inspirational. He is able to push you to limits you never knew you were possible of.
Going to the Gym for me has been a 6-month fad in the past, but having Nigel as my personal trainer has been life changing from the way I train to what I eat and how I eat. So here’s looking forward to a winter of hard work (he even turns up to train in the snow!!) and a fantastic day in London on April 17th 2011."

"I've been training with Nigel for about 18 months during which time he has been a massive influence on the progress that I've made with my health and fitness. Nigel plans every session to make sure it's different, challenging and to get maximum results. He's a natural motivator and pushes me hard to ensure I put in 100% every time. Nigel is the best Personal Trainer I've worked with and I would recommend him to anyone wanting to get results in a fun and friendly environment."

"Nigel is a fantastic trainer and would highly recommend
his services over any other trainer on the Isle of Man. I have had a few
personal trainers in the past and he is by far the best. Bit of
background: I was a 20 a day smoker who didn't do much and ate terribly
and worked an office job. Once I'd made the decision to get healthy, I
came across Nigel's ad, and found the concept of "bringing the gym to you"
brilliant. You have absolutely no excuse saying that "you're too tired",
"the gym will be full", "oh i'll go tomorrow" and so on... he's there,
knocking on your door ready to go at 7am and has all the equipment
necessary.
He has a great approach and focuses on the clients' needs first and
foremost. He is also a consistent and good motivator and is especially
focused on ensuring that you achieve your goals. He will work with you in
the best way possible to reach them, whether they be to get fit, lose
weight, tone or bulk up and get ripped.
Now, bear in mind, there's no magic pill, it takes hard work, sweat and
some determination on your part, and Nigel is there to motivate, guide and
push you to get those results. It's not often that you find a trainer
willing to go running with you in the pouring rain, freezing cold at 7am
in the morning.
In terms of what Nigel helped me achieve, here's a brief overview:
FITNESS:
From beginning of training, could not run to the bottom end of the
street (say 400/500 metres) without nearly collapsing. 4 months later -
running nearly 8 kilometres in an hour (with no breaks).
WEIGHT LOSS:
I had to start slow, but a few months later I had lost 6.1
kilograms of body fat and in its place put on some more muscle.
SIZE LOSS:
Noticed a marked increase (or decrease ;)) in tone - especially in problem
areas such as arms, back & abs, so definitely helped me to tone up.
So to anyone, male or female, bad shape or even decent shape - I'd highly
recommend Nigel to be your personal trainer."

"For anyone thinking of hiring Nigel, “Just do it”.
We hired Nigel over the summer holidays and were amazed at how much we achieved in 5 weeks both in terms of fitness levels and change in our body shape.
Prior to hiring Nigel, we were really struggling with our motivation to get fit. It was becoming much harder to get motivated to get fit and into shape as we were a bit 'on the wrong side of 21!’ As a last resort, we thought we would choose a personal trainer, which we had never done before, and decided to go with Nigel.
Since hiring Nigel, the results have been brilliant. Nigel is a really good personal trainer and really motivates and encourages you. Initially I was sceptical about how interval training at home would get you fit, but I have achieved better results than in the gym! His programmes are really good and more importantly, are achievable. Yes, you have to put some effort in, but the results are so worth it. Nigel can design programmes to be followed every day either at home or at the gym (I prefer the gym but my friend dislikes the gym, preferring swimming and walking), and so you don’t get bored, changes the programmes every week.
We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Nigel. If you're thinking of hiring him - “Just do it!”.

"Nigel has been inspiring! He helped me realise my potential, and we have achieved results I would never have thought possible before my training sessions with him. I would recommend a personal trainer to everybody - even if you feel you are not capable, Nigel will show you that you can be!"

" I started training with Nigel in July 2008. So far I
have lost 28lbs and have never been so fit. Although I am a long way from
where I want to be, I know with Nigel's assistance I will get there at a
healthy pace. This is a life style change that you can fit into your day
with ease, and keep up and maintain in the long term."

“I've always struggled with my weight from a very young age. Numerous times over the years I tried to shift the pounds but to no avail. Around a year ago I decided I was sick and tired of being morbidly obese. I decided to play my hand at fad diets. I did manage to lose some weight however I fell off the wagon numerous times not feeling driven nor excited by the diets I was undertaking. I still needed to lose a great deal of weight however I just got to the stage where I didn’t know what else to do or try. After doing research online I came across Nigel’s website.
After being impressed by previous testimonials and looking over his vast experience I decided I had nothing to lose (apart from the weight of course). After meeting him I immediately knew he would be able to help me. Where I’ve been going wrong over the years was weighing myself everyday constantly miserable with the result & expecting one quick solution. However Nigel informed me it’s not about how much you weigh, it’s about body composition and sculpting your body to your own personal need’s and aspirations. It's a life style change! Fad diets saddle you with unreasonable calorie restrictions and some even cut out entire food groups just to produce that short lived drop in weight - a process I now understand is actually harmful to your health. Changing your lifestyle from one that is unhealthy to one that is healthy will be the best thing that you ever do for yourself.
I’ve been with Nigel for a good few months now and I am always impressed with his driven yet understanding approach to our training sessions. After each session I feel energetic, happy and over all I feel as though I’m taking my weight in hand. I have noticed the results considerably in my clothes and I feel a great deal stronger, fitter but most importantly healthier.
Although the training sessions are hard and push you to your limits to help achieve your goals, you don’t feel too regimented you can have a laugh and a joke with Nigel as he keeps you upbeat throughout the entire hour. Everything is mapped out for you from giving you advice on nutrition to even giving you your own personal home exercise regime for you to undertake during the week until you next see Nigel.
I’ve always been quite negative when it comes to being able to lose weight. But after being with Nigel I now know it’s most definitely possible to achieve your goals and be happy. I would most definitely recommend Nigel for anyone and everyone around the Island who wants to change their way of life and make themselves feel and look good.”
