Testimonials

"After my heart attack, I was nervous about exercising again and wasn't sure what I could safely do. Chris took the time to understand my medical history, explain everything clearly and build my confidence step by step. The programme was tailored to me, and I always felt safe and supported. Six months on, I'm fitter than I've been for years and, more importantly, I feel confident managing my health again."

"Following bypass surgery, I knew I needed to improve my fitness but had no idea where to start. Chris's knowledge and calm, reassuring approach made a huge difference. The structured rehabilitation programme helped me regain strength and stamina far more quickly than I expected. The regular assessments allowed me to see my progress, which was incredibly motivating. I now exercise regularly and feel much more positive about the future."

I have been training with Baseline Fitness for over 8 years, having started at one of Chris and Andy’s bootcamps having done little to no exercise for the previous 10 years. Having ‘caught the bug’ thanks to their enthusiastic, challenging but always fun training sessions, I started one on one personal training with Chris. Over the years we have worked towards various goals, be they weight loss, muscle gain, overall fitness…always with a varied approach that has kept every session interesting and ensures I come away having learned something not only about various training methods but about myself too. Chris’ approach to not only physical but mental wellbeing certainly came to the forefront in 2020 with online community training programmes and fun challenges that brought people together when they were stuck at home. I have never been fitter or healthier and very much recommend Baseline Fitness no matter what your fitness levels or goals.

I started training with Chris one on one and he quickly established my strengths and weaknesses and is a great motivator when it’s clear I’m not on top form that day! I have lost weight, become more toned and have become stronger without really realising so much of the training I was doing was benefiting me in many different ways. Previously the gym to me was a dull place where the treadmill or exercise bike would stare at me until I gave in…now I am able to follow programmes set by Chris across a number of different exercises and lifts with increased confidence. I am also eating more healthily and have increased energy levels thanks to the continued well-being approach by Baseline Fitness outside of the gym.

"The personalised approach was exactly what I needed after being diagnosed with heart failure. Chris understood both the physical and psychological challenges of recovery and adapted every session to how I was feeling. The improvement in my energy levels, fitness and confidence has been remarkable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone recovering from a cardiac event."

I have trained with Chris for 9 months and thoroughly enjoy our weekly personal training sessions. We set targets to build muscle and lift heavier weights. Chris set short achievable goals for me, which gave me motivation to keep eating well and working hard. Chris offers 24 hour support over the phone for advice before meals, before and during gym sessions and whilst I’m at the supermarket!

"What impressed me most was how safe and professional the whole process felt. Chris carefully monitored my progress after my angioplasty and helped me gradually return to activities that I'd been worried about doing again. The sessions were challenging but always appropriate for my condition. The support and encouragement I received were invaluable."

I trained with Chris in preparation for the professional tennis tour. I saw him initially with a number of injuries that prevented me playing. With a number of specific rehab exercises I recovered quickly, retaining a good level of fitness. Once fully fit, Chris provided me with an excellent tennis specific workout, which pushed my fitness and core strength up rapidly. I’m really grateful for all the hard work and time Chris gave me, highly recommended.

Darren, 42

Chris was recommended to me through a friend that had lost a lot of weight through regular personal training. Chris is very professional throughout our sessions; he is always on time, reliable, well presented and well prepared. I have thoroughly enjoyed the 5 months we have trained together and long may it continue.
