“My goal was to reduce my overall weight, reduce my body fat percentage and to have a leaner looking stomach”
When I first thought about having Personal Training it took me a while to pluck up the courage to finally take it further. There was an offer of a half hour free session so I took this as my opportunity to take the plunge. I explained to Warwick what I wanted to achieve which I honestly thought would be slightly unachievable but never the less I thought I would challenge him a little. My goal was to reduce my overall weight, reduce my body fat percentage and to have a leaner looking stomach.Each PT Session is hard work but fun. Warwick is always very enthusiastic and really gets into the workout and I always receive 100% attention throughout the whole hour. There has been a mixture of workouts that we have used from weights, core strength to using the swiss ball. No workout has ever been the same. Warwick has always pushed me and each PT Session was more challenging than the last to ensure that my progress improved steadily. Warwick has also posted workouts onto his website for me to download and use when I am training at the gym. Warwick has helped me achieve far more than I ever expected to achieve! I have lost a stone in weight and I have reduced my body fat percentage by just under 6%! I never thought in a million years that I would lose so much.
PT training is definitely the way to go my only regret is that I never did it sooner. I cannot put into words what Warwick has done for me.
So if you are thinking of having some personal training, what are you waiting for? Stop thinking and just do it with Warwick and Reinvent lifestyle, you will not regret it…..PT is the start of a new beginning so why not start the journey now.

“My whole body shape has changed”
Dear Warwick,
I thought I would take this opportunity to write to and offer my sincere thanks for the advice, guidance and motivation you have provided me with over the past 3 months. Since embarking on our ‘mission’, I have noticed a whole range of positive changes and on the whole have never felt quite as good about myself as I do now. As you can appreciate, for a 28 year old, football playing, lad’s lad this kind of comment isn’t easy for me to make. I recently went on a stag party to Brighton. Now, I embarrassingly admit that since I were young enough to remember I have never willingly wanted to take my top off in public areas and especially in front of girls due to the perception I had of myself and often trips like this have always caused me grief in the apprehension of having to strip off. People often thought this was somewhat quite stupid of me because I have always been an active person, regularly participating in a number of sporting activities like a semi pro level of football, training in a Muay Thai camp in Thailand and running the Edinburgh marathon sub 4hrs. They told me that I ‘didn’t have anything to worry about’. To me though, I just wasn’t comfortable within myself. Well, this trip was different. The sun was blazing and we were running around and when relaxed I felt brave enough to ‘try’ taking my top off for a while and seeing how it went. I don’t think I put it back on until we got home!!! My whole body shape has changed, I have lost weight were needed, gained shape where needed and now see myself in a whole different light than I did before. I feel that not only your excellent 1 to 1 sessions helped but the healthy eating plans, supplement suggestions & motivation you provided me throughout all contributed greatly. The most impressive thing to me was your willingness and passion to help and support me even outside our structured session time and the sheer delight you expressed once my goals had been achieved. I am now a great deal more confident in my physical appearance, more aware of the right products that make up a healthy and balanced diet, greater training and exercise knowledge for further training in the future and new attitude towards achieving physical goals and that I can get to where I want through a bit of guidance, patience and a whole deal of hard work.I would and will without doubt be recommending you and your company to all my friends and associates. Again, thank you so much for your efforts.
Kindest Regards, Matthew Beswick
“Having a PT session in the comfort of my own home is particularly brilliant and in the Summer working out in the park is great”
‘Warwick has been my Personal trainer for over 5 years. Not only does he help me keep fit but also I love to exercise. Having first run the marathon 6 years ago, my ability to run faster has improved tenfold with the interval and strength training. From 10 minute miles I have improved to 8 ½ minute miles. Having a PT session in the comfort of my own home is particularly brilliant and in the Summer working out in the park is great.
Warwick is a great motivator! Our weekly PT sessions are always fun and never the same. Warwick is always conscious to ensure that each week we achieve new goals, but also that I continue to learn about my body and the results each exercise and movement will bring. A mixture of boxing, kettle bell and plyo metric training has helped me achieve a high level fitness and toning that I continue to maintain. As well as 1-1 sessions Warwick provides exercise plans for my training in the Gym and regular reviews of this ensure that I am always improvingAs well as being my personal trainer Warwick has become a very good friend in the last 5 years and this also helps our rapport during out PT sessions. If you are contemplating getting involved…its one of the best things I have ever done. PT rocks!! ‘

“My results were fantastic”
I’d over indulged during December with work and social events all involving eating and drinking too much and hadn’t attended the gym as often as normal due to this socially busy time so thought I’d find out more about it. The plan included supplements and a change to my diet; no red meat, no alcohol, no caffeine, no diary and no wheat so I wanted to start taking the supplements and eating differently when it would least impact cooking family meals so agreed to start the detox on 29th January to coincide with my red-meat loving husband being away on a ski trip.
I met with Warwick on 27th January and he took me through the plan in greater detail. He gave me the supplements and explained when and how to take them – There were supplements to take 3 times a day for the first 10 days and liquid chlorophyll to dilute as a drink and take twice daily. These supplements were designed to cleanse you from the inside out and after 10 days were followed by taking a different supplement to reintroduce good bacteria into the gut. I was given a folder which detailed the different supplements and which covered the foods I could and couldn’t eat during the detox with suggestions on alternatives. Warwick took me through the diet element of the detox, answered the questions I had and arranged out first Personal Training session for 1st Feb. I started my detox on Saturday 29th January. I wasn’t too sure if I liked the liquid chlorophyll drink, it tasted a bit like mint – fresh mint from the garden not toothpaste minty but it wasn’t unpleasant and I was happy to drink it again later. I was quite pleased with myself at the end of the first day having avoided the foods I wasn’t supposed to eat and yet still managing to feed the family without having to make separate meals for myself. The diet includes chicken and fish which we all like so I only had to make small adjustments for myself.
By Sunday lunchtime though the supplements were starting to do what they were designed for and I was making frequent trips to the toilet and felt extremely tired, I excused myself from going to the gym but still persevered with the detox. I was still a little under the weather on Monday and even considered reducing the supplements to twice daily rather than 3 times – which it did mention in my folder that I could do if necessary but I kept on with it and by mid-day on Tuesday everything settled down and the tiredness passed. Good job really because Tuesday evening was the first personal training session with Warwick. At that initial session, I was weighed and measured, my body fat percentage was recorded along with my lung capacity and we discussed my short and long term goals. I had a treadmill test to determine fitness and then Warwick put me through some exercises to check my posture. I wasn’t very good. I wobbled all over the place when trying to do lunges, pointed my toes when I was laid down completely relaxed and hunched my shoulders when standing. All this indicated tight muscles in my upper back and shoulders, in my lower legs and instability in my glute area. I felt a bit like Quasimodo but Warwick assured me that it wasn’t that bad and that as part of the plan we would work on improving my posture. He also gave me a link to the website where he would record my program and where I needed to complete a couple of fitness assessment questionnaires. At my second session Warwick arrived with my Posture Correction Program which involved a series of stretches to perform everyday. Together we worked through the stretches and he explained where I should feel the stretch and we made minor adjustments to the stretches based on how and where I was feeling the stretch when performing the exercise. During that session and the subsequent ones Warwick took me through my paces and introduced me to exercises and equipment I wouldn’t normally use. We had a boxing session, used the kettle weights, a medicine ball, introduced me to apparatus in the weights area of the gym and did exercises using both free weights and just my own body. Anytime Warwick introduced a new exercise, he changed my program and included it. I could go online to see this program and could watch videos of the exercises or print them out. In between my training sessions I knew I could still contact Warwick to ask for advice etc. through feedback on the website or by catching him at the gym.
My final session was on 2nd March. Warwick had explained that we would redo the measures and fitness test that we had done at the first training session so that I could see the results of the detox program. I’d planned to re-read my initial assessment before I went but didn’t get the chance and couldn’t remember what my weight and measurements had been from the first session so had to wait for Warwick to record everything and then to tell me the results.
My results were fantastic, at least I thought so, in just 4 weeks (and a day) I had lost 2kg, 2% body fat, 2.5 cm off my waist, 2.5 cm off my hips and my lung capacity had increased by 100 for the peak expiratory flow.
So
Would I do it again? You bet I would.
Would I recommend it to a friend? Absolutely.
During the 10 days of detox, after the initial unsettled start I felt great, really great. I had more energy, slept much better than usual and was less stressed. I really enjoyed eating fish and fresh fruit and vegetables. I already use rice milk and have wheat free cereal for breakfast but have extended my range to now include rye bread, non wheat pasta, couscous and humus. I’ve realised by re-introducing foods into my diet and monitoring how I feel after eating them that normal bread makes me really tired and sluggish so now I avoid it and that I have a harder time digesting red meat than chicken or fish. I am still not drinking caffeine and don’t miss it but have re-introduced all of the other foods back into my diet albeit in moderation.
But the food and healthy eating is only half the story, the Personal Training sessions and support from Warwick was brilliant and I’ve learned a lot about my own body and how to get the most from my training so if changing your diet seems a bit too drastic for you then its still worth considering getting a personal trainer.
