Tobi was a brilliant trainer who helped me towards my fitness goals. He is the perfect blend between a fun instructor and someone who pushes you to your limits. Often we could not walk for a while after the sessions. Their Facebook group helps make it feel like a community. There are summer fun-days, team building events and general updates making you feel a part of the team. Overall, a great experience and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone.
I had a 4-session/month training for two months with George. It was a great experience and I have been losing weight in a healthy way since the first three weeks, which was part of may goal. Eating and exercising both play important roles in keeping a good lifestyle. By tracking the calories of my daily meals, I am able to know what do I need in order to reach the goals. George was really patient and nice during the training. He would make a plan based on the results obtained from the assessment and do small adjustments according to the real practice. Also, if you are a person who need somebody else to push you to exercise, it's definitely a good choice to go for the HallTraining system!
I looked into hiring a trainer as I'm an American student who was studying in Oxford for only 3 weeks and needed to continue on with my training. I did some research and loved the reviews these guys had and what they had to offer.Although my stay was incredibly short and time training with these guys, I had some fantastic sessions and the level of the service provided was awesome.Just a shame we don't have them out in the States!
I've been with Pete Burke from Hall Training Systems for nearly nine months, and he's been a great PT. He's very motivated and always pushing me on, but not in an overly aggressive way. Pete's very knowledgeable, and on the rare occasion he doesn't know something, he will take it upon himself to go away and research the topic and let me know the answer.He also has a holistic approach that includes helping me out with nutrition, which has been highly effective in achieving my goals.And of course, he's an all round great guy.Highly recommended.
say he's terrific! Chris is the definition of a "tailored service". Chris will push you just the right amount, right between "I hate you, I've had enough and I'm never doing this again" and that feeling you get when you've achieved something great. I urge you to give Chris a shot as he might just be the difference between who you are now and the better version you can be a year down the line.
Big disappointment This training only works if you can lift weights. If for any reason, e.g. injury you cannot, no alternative is offered. No exercise machines at the gym, no aerobic/cardio exercises, no exercises at all without weights.I specified my shoulder hypermobility in the initial phone call (and was told we could work round it) and online form but for my mouvemrent assessment, the trainer had no idea - she mispronounced it twice. Sorry guys but you should be clearer about what you offer and how limited your staff knowledge of anatomy/physiology is.
I joined up to train with Chris after being let down by a couple of other local trainers who were unreliable. From the start, Chris and his evidence-based approach to fitness inspired confidence. I have now been going to the gym regularly for 1.5 years straight, and enjoying it, which I never would have believed. I feel awesome, physically, and am much more comfortable in my own body. I now work with one of his other trainers and really enjoy how any response to my questions always references related scientific studies. And it's been fun to meet up with other trainees on social events. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend joining! You'll be glad you did.
I have never been in better shape than when I trained with Chris. He listened to my goals and wants and not only pushed me hard in training, but also helped me understand what sort of food and vitamins I needed to be consuming so that I could achieve the physique I wanted. The training was specific to me and my needs, very well thought out, and full of variation to keep me progressing. If only Hall Training Systems would open a San Francisco branch then I would be a happy healthy and fit lady.
