Here are some reviews from clients I worked with as a personal trainer and strength coach in Liverpool Street. I’ve separated them into sections so you can find reviews from people with fitness goals similar to your own.

Strength and Conditioning in Liverpool Street

Andrew – Skiing Performance

“My trainer Mike has consistently produced programs for me that have increased my strength and endurance and thus my overall speed in my sport. At the end of each 6-month period, my 10km speed increased by 5-15%.”

Roberto – Football/Basketball Performance after Injury

“After two surgeries on my knee (ACL), in spite of a lot of hours of intensive training with another Personal Trainer, I was still experiencing constant pain and locking in my knee. I was about to give up on practicing any sport but thanks to Mike, I am now pain-free, confident in my ability, and back enjoying taking part in my favourite sports.

“Mike is personable, patient, understanding, and a consummate professional who is dedicated to providing an ever-evolving training plan based on your personal circumstances. Mike has not only worked with me to bring my fitness back to the levels I wanted, but he has also brought back my confidence in my knee and broken down the mental blocks holding me back from sports.”

Gabe – Powerlifting

“Mike is a knowledgeable, attentive, and organized trainer. When I started working with him I had a bunch of nagging issues – notably with my knees and shoulders. After a little over a year working together my shoulder issues have totally cleared up and my knees aren’t holding me back in the gym anymore.

“Mike always put thought into the series of programs he made for me and whenever issues came up he was always quick to amend the program to work around them. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to get stronger, feel less pain, and move better in and out of the gym.”

Damian – Strength Training (eventually moved on to Strongman training)

“Mike…was a good laugh during each session but he pushed me all the same. If you want someone who gives you a one-size-fits-all routine and just shouts at you in the gym, don’t go to Mike. If you want a personal trainer who knows what they are talking about and makes the gym somewhere you look forward to, go to Mike.”


Strength Training Clients

Lucy – Strength, gym confidence, and muscle definition

“I really enjoyed my session with you… I really enjoyed learning new techniques (I actually got complimented on my deadlift form in F45 recently!) I liked how the programmes were structured and built up. I did eventually get to floor push ups which is something I never thought I’d do! So that was amazing! You were also so knowledgeable as well – I enjoy the chats and debates about latest IG posts and trends.

“You also have a great style – when I was there some trainers and clients felt like they had quite a functional relationship where often we’d chat away like pals. This puts me at ease,  and ensure I enjoyed coming as was always good fun as well as a good workout. You always put a lot of effort in writing my solo gym sessions and guiding me on best way of making them work and what to do. Definitely more gym confident now.” 

Sophie – Strength training, health and wellbeing

“Mike took on board what I was looking for and I’m pleased with my programme and the progress I’m making thus far.”

Lydia – Pullups, general strength, and muscle definition

“For the first few months I was very hit and miss with going (to the gym) for various reasons and it got to the point where I almost cancelled my membership. Mike (my favourite PT) convinced me to come in and see him…he’s been stuck with me ever since. Now I love going to the gym! I’ve hit some of my personal bests and I wouldn’t have been able to do that without Mike.”


Boxing/Padwork Training

Roberto

“I have been always interested in practicing boxing and thanks to Mike’s plan to achieve my desired level of fitness we agreed to introduce boxing as part of my weekly routine. Boxing with Mike is great fun as well as hard work!

“Mike pays great attention to detail and is an excellent teacher, providing all the help you need to excel at the sport. His knowledge of boxing techniques and skills is superb and he always makes sure Boxing training is properly paired with the required strength and flexibility conditioning to avoid unnecessary injuries.”

Other Gym Goals

Yara – Health, weight loss

“Mike doesn’t mind explaining things…which makes me feel like I understand what I am doing and getting the most out of the workout. I can tell Mike puts a lot of thought when formulating the workout plan. He also takes a holistic approach and takes things like mental state into consideration. Mike also regularly asks for feedback which I really appreciate. It shows that he is constantly evaluating/re-evaluating our workout plan.”

Kim – Review for The Week magazine

“I was impressed by the extent of Mike’s in-depth knowledge. Trainers often instruct then just sit back but Mike…was incredibly thorough. He explained what I was doing and just as importantly, why, and gave constant feedback.”

Victoria – Strength and mobility for yoga instructing

“Since having a monthly session with Michael, we are in the best shape we have ever been in. The workouts are completely tailored to what you want to get out of them and what you enjoy doing, which means you’re more likely to stick to them and get results. I actually enjoy going to the gym now as opposed to it being a chore.”

Ahmet – Strength and stamina for film industry job performance

“The…training sessions built by my personal trainer Mike (who is the best PT I have had in my experience) is just the best!”

Monica – Conditioning, weight loss, and strength

“My PT sessions with Mike are amazing.”
