Personal Training Testimonials:

 

"The breadth and variety of John's training sessions results in a very holistic work-out. Not only has my general fitness improved since training with John, I've developed much more awareness of how my body works- enabling me to strengthen weaker muscles, stretch tighter ones and generally feel more balanced. Whatever your level of fitness I would thoroughly recommend training with John, his ability to detect your strengths and weaknesses and develop these is phenomenal.”
Dr. Rebecca Redwood.

“I was post-natal and I felt John totally understood what I
needed. He clearly showed me the path to my full fitness, re-building my confidence. He was caring and supportive, every step of the way.”

“John is simply the best personal trainer, highly professional, friendly, loyal, smart, motivating: he has changed my ‘sporting’ life!”

"I can only speak very highly of John Clutterbuck, for it is thanks to his motivating and enlightened training that I have re-gained absolute confidence in my physical activities and have achieved long cherished objectives.

"As a former dancer now in his 50s, I had specific needs and demands. John understood them clearly and set out a multi-varied program that is both challenging and engagingly stimulating. His in-depth anatomical knowledge helps him identify the areas that need strengthening, while his utterly enjoyable and infectiously positive personality provides a unique stimulus to help achieve those goals.

"In my view, the outstanding trait of John's training is the variety of physical disciplines he manages to incorporate seamlessly in his sessions which are thus never tedious or repetitive. His multifaceted knowledge is well rooted and draws upon diverse approaches such as Tai Chi, Yoga, Martial Arts and Gymnastics.

"He also knows how to be demanding in a good-natured, extremely constructive way. He knows, in other words, how to make one person achieve steadily and increasingly better achievements in a pressure - free way. Not to mention the fact that he is the first to remark constructively on
what has been achieved.

"John is a personal trainer in a truly holistic way, for his training goes beyond the mere session in the gym. He has devised a food and mood schedule that proves to be very helpful outside the gym session time, as well as a program to keep building on what has been achieved with him.

"The ability to engage in a conversation is also paramount in a well established relationship between a trainer and trainee, and there is no doubt that John possesses that ability although always in a contained way, that does never interfere with the flow of the training session.

"John is indeed the ideal trainer for people with different demands ranging from enlightened muscle building to achieving a healthily toned physique. It is in the light of these considerations that I have no reservation in recommending him highly."
Giannandrea Poesio, Phd, MA, DipCS. Media and
Performance Co-ordinator. London Metropolitan University

" The depth of John’s physiological and anatomical knowledge with his understanding of biodynamic movement are what really make the difference in his work. With this, together with his experience he knows how to work realistically to achieve his clients’ goals very effectively, whatever their level of ability.”
Dr. Ikkuna.  

 

"John has been exceptional all the way through my training period. I went to him with a vague idea of my goals, but he quickly worked with me to establish a focused program using a number of disciplines. This incorporated knee rehabilitation post an operation and helped me regain strength, stability, and importantly, confidence. This is holistic personal development at its best."
Andrew Gardner. Project manager. M F Global. 

 

“Working with John I was able to build a great exercise regime that fitted perfectly with my other commitments.  Thoroughly recommended!”
Pascale Carrington. Writer, Illustrator.

"John tailors every session to my needs - he'll check my mood and spirit and can gauge when to push me and when to slow me down. My original goal was to improve my running. I hate gyms so we train in my local parks. John has introduced Tai Chi and will bring along specific equipment to add variety to my routine - I'm easily bored. As John watches my stance & uses particular exercises to realign my posture and improve my core strength, I find running doesn't leave my back in as much pain as I used to feel when I'd run alone. My goal for 2010 is to complete a mini-triathlon. I already swim daily and now with my confidence in John I know I can become a better runner plus, as we're outdoors, the spring weather should be ideal to> include training on my bike. It's an exciting goal to have in sight."
Gulgeet. Fine Artist.

“John’s applications of Sports Massage Therapy techniques make him a truly exceptional massage therapist.”
Mark Hall. Solicitor.

 

“Well what can I say, only that John is an excellent Personal Trainer, always on time, works with you in terms of what your body can do, and for me that was doing press-ups !!! He looks at all aspects of your training to achieve the best results. The Food & Mood diary is excellent, you can see how your daily input affects your mood and body. I have no hesitation in recommending John to anyone.”
Sharran Alexander. Sumo Wrestler.

“Friends say I look pretty good and fit for my age (60+) but my body was telling me otherwise - I  was starting to creak after my twice weekly tennis games and I felt more and more sluggish.

John developed a program to build my core strength with specific exercises for tennis and keep me playing forever!

His professional knowledge and experience combined with his charming
encouragement, has helped me achieve a greater level of all round fitness and I intend to continue with him."
Jackie Robertson. Ex-Athlete and Writer.

 

"John's strength is in his ability to combine various methodologies (Yoga, Boxing, Weight Training etc) and tailor them to my particular need. I had always associated exercise and working out with muscle pain and soreness, but John's stretching approach means amazingly I feel no pain after training sessions. This, and his calmness, yet firm approach keeps me focused and motivated to keep training"
Muibat, Strategy Management Consultant.
