I've been training with Simon for a few months now and the client -trainer relationship we have is awesome. He supports me every single day especially during the difficult curves that life throws at us. He motivates me and helps me stay focused. I learn so much from him. All my plans are bespoke to me and Simon tailors my plans around my life style. It's a journey and I'm so grateful to have him help and support me reach my goals. I cannot recommend him enough. Simon is super professional easy to talk too and he has so much knowledge and expertise to impart.
I've never had a trainer like him before

I’ve been training with Simon for over 6 months now and I would definitely recommend him to anybody. His approach covers both your physical and psychological needs, always prioritising your wellbeing and avoiding injury. It doesn’t matter if you have never done exercises or if you want to push yourself a bit extra, he will find the right routine for you. It also helps the fact that he is a really nice & professional guy and he doesn’t mind my talking between exercises.

Simon takes great pride in making sure he tailors his sessions to your individual needs. He always makes his sessions productive whilst still being really enjoyable and you walk away having felt a great sense of achievement. Goals are agreed and then measured in a way that helps you see the results and keeps motivation high. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Simon to those looking to improve their fitness. Keep up the good work Si!

I’ve been training with Simon for 6 months now and I cannot believe the progress I’ve made. I train twice a week and I really enjoy the variety and challenge he puts into the sessions. Simon is focused on helping me achieve my goals and makes every session challenging and much to my amazement fun! I have seen a huge improvement in my overall fitness and approach to diet. I find I actually look forward to my workouts after years of hating exercise. Importantly he always ensures that my technique is correct and looks after your overall well being. Simon knows how to motivate me and pushes me

I have been working with Simon for a few months now and he has really helped me with my nutrition. I have tried many diets in the past and we are concentrating on eating whole foods and the importance of not eating processed food.
Simon works with me so we perform the exercises that I enjoy rather than making exercise a chore. Overall I appreciate the help and support Simon provides especially outside of our regular sessions and helps me keep on track.
Thanks Simon.

I started my journey with Simon about 3 months ago now, and it has been one of the best decisions I have made in my life! I was reluctant to start on my fitness path, as I came to Simon with mild/severe anxiety, asking if he could support me to achieve my fitness goals in a relaxed environment. Simon mentioned he had studied anxiety and fitness, and this really sparked my interest in the Body Development Centre. On the first consultation meeting, Simon’s easy going and friendly personality, made me feel at ease within the first few minutes. EVERY session after, has been the exact same experience

I have struggled with weight for a few years now. I tried a few different ways to get healthy however , exercise and I don’t get along and I have an unhealthy relationship with food. I have been working with Simon for about 2-3 months now and I have not only been enjoying exercise and eating healthy, I have lost weight and gaining muscle (bench pressing 20kg) . Thanks to Simon I have the knowledge to keep the weight off and keep going to my goal. Simon is not your typical personal trainer he goes out of his way to help his clients as individuals not as just a number on his list. He not just
