After completing my BSc in Sports Therapy at the University of Edge Hill I had a year off from the sports and fitness industry, this is due to the intense nature of the degree I did. During this year I worked in a busy Estate Agents office in Stratford-upon-Avon, During this time I realized my passion for fitness and helping people. So I enrolled on a personal training course and learnt all I could and I’m continuing to learn about nutrition, the human body and training methods today.
After completing the course I took a job at Walton Hall Leisure club. After a few months here I become the lead trainer and had the largest client base at the club. This lead me to being too busy to work for Walton Hall which lead to me becoming self employed and working with my clients at their homes or at a Health Works Fitness Studio in Stratford-upon-Avon.

I was looking for someone to help me with a tailored program to rebuild my strength following a back injury. Ed has been great in accommodating what I can and can’t do at every stage in the process. Just 5 months on and I can really feel the difference in my everyday life – which makes me so happy! His sessions are progressively challenging and always fun. I am so glad he’s joined my recovery journey.
As someone who has played sports and trained most of my life, I thought I had a reasonable knowledge and was getting the results I wanted.
My only wish is that I’d engaged the services of Ed earlier.
From the outset, it was clear that I wasn’t anywhere near what I thought in terms of overall strength and fitness.
The journey Ed took me on really focused on improving key areas specific to my position in rugby and what I personally needed to achieve.
The results speak for themselves as I managed to lose a massive 4 inches from my waist and gain in upper body and legs over an 8 week period.
I cannot recommend ed highly enough to anyone whatever their personal goals or objectives.
He is personable, highly knowledgeable and will push you to heights you didn’t think possible.
I’ve been training with Ed for 18 months now and I couldn’t recommend him more! He has a very personable approach and his PT knowledge is excellent. Ed manages to fit into my schedule and I look forward to my sessions every week. If you’re serious about your fitness a PT is a must and Ed is an excellent choice.
Ed delivers a unique combination – sessions are always great fun as well as being suitably challenging to keep you developing towards specifically tailored objectives. Ed is very knowledgable and he will motivate you and help you to achieve great results that you won’t think you’re capable of. Whether you are just trying to get healthier, recovering from an injury or looking to obtain specific fitness goals, I can’t recommend Ed highly enough.
Ed has been absolutely fantastic in terms of training me to reach a fitness level I aspired to. His patience and insight was invaluable when first starting out and he continues to support me via keeping up motivation and the drive to achieve the original goals I set and beyond. I would happily recommend anyone to use Ed’s services to assist them to reach their goals whether that be through his assistance as a trainer or a therapist or both!
I have a problem with my arm. I cut some trees down about 9 weeks ago and ever since my arm hurts.
So I booked a session with Ed. Ed patiently got me to explain how my arm felt and very quickly correctly identified the problem, he did some exercises and gave me some great input. Now I know how to treat this and it is already improving. I recommend Ed to all my friends who have aches, injuries and issues that need sports therapy.
I have really enjoyed training with Ed, he is passionate about his job and helping to reach your intended goals. Not only have I exceeded lifting weights heavier than I ever imagined, but I have also noticed changes in my muscle tone. He has given me the confidence to train alone and apply his workouts. Teaching me new exercises and ways of using various equipment. If you are looking for a knowledgeable personal trainer with a real food approach I would 100% recommend Ed!
Eds sessions are highly recommended, well structured and not something you want to skip. Friendly sessions make me forget the hard work i’m doing. Very enjoyable and rewarding.
Can’t recommend Ed enough – he’s fantastic! We are doing joint sessions at the moment (Myself/Husband). Ed keeps you focused and motivated and always mixes up your sessions! Best personal trainer around – always feel better physically and mentally after seeing Ed! Thanks Ed!
Thank you Ed for your support and tailored training. I set myself a big game to play and you never gave up on me. I am very grateful!
Ed is incredible! close to the PRMC standard now all because of Ed’s help. Cheers mate!
I needed Ed’s help with an ambitious target to lose 5 stone in 12 months. Ed’s carefully constructed exercise plans have been specifically tailored to achieve my goals. Without Ed’s expert guidance to motivate and drive me forward week on week together with a balanced diet and weekly exercise regime I’ve lost 2.5 stone in 6 months.
This guy knows what he’s doing! Highly recommended….Helps with training and nutrition, exercise plans everything! Helps you achieve realistic goals and progress every session! Keeps it realistic but pushes you on too! Thanks Ed.
Ed has been a lifesaver for me throughout a gruelling 6 month marathon training plan he has helped ease my aches and pains. Very professional always ready to offer advice alongside a massage with extremely competitive prices. Would definitely recommend him!
