PT Client Reviews
“I have been training with Emmanuel for about a year and he’s the first Personal Trainer I have ever used. I like that from the beginning he has really listened to what I want to achieve and created programs to reach those goals, as well as mixing them up so I don’t get bored. When I lost 10 kilos in the first 4 weeks all through a balanced diet and a good training program, I knew I was in the best hands possible! Emmanuel is extremely knowledgeable, not only about fitness but about nutrition and the human body, and explains how the muscles work together during the workout to achieve results. I like that he never stops learning and building his skills and knowledge – this is so valuable in a Personal Trainer, and he passes it down to each of his clients so we get the best results. When I experienced some health issues last year, Emmanuel was very understanding, and when I returned to training, he slowly built me back up, being very mindful of my rehabilitation while still motivating me to reach my goals. In truth, if Emmanuel wasn’t my trainer I probably wouldn’t go to the gym. He really keeps me on track and motivated to reach my fitness and health goals. I could not recommend him more.”
