Client Testimonials

“Since I’ve been training with Theo Wood I have been delighted with the improvements in my fitness level and physique. The trainers I have worked with have been professional and realistic and always eager to motivate and advise. My quality of life has significantly increased as a direct result of my training programme and I would recommend the company to anyone at any level hoping to improve their health, fitness or body image."

"We both started training with Theo Wood Fitness in November 2006 in an attempt to get some fitness and improve our lifestyle as we approached and reached our 40's. Initially only one day a week, our trainer’s enthusiasm and knowledge inspired us both to embrace fitness and as our body's changed we increased to two then three days per week. No need to travel to the gym, embarrass yourself in front of others or worry about the outfit you’re wearing, they bring everything to your home and you finish each session feeling you've achieved something and looking forward to the next."

"Using Theo Wood Fitness has given me the motivation I needed to train hard and get fit. I get along with my personal trainer really well which is great because she pushes me hard to get results but I’m still enjoying it at the same time. I started training with them so I could be slim and toned for my wedding in July this year. I’m already feeling better about myself and I have so much more energy now because I’m much fitter than I was before."

“We really like the helpful and friendly approach of our Theo Wood personal trainer. We get pushed to do our best, but not pushed too far, and we have both toned up enormously and are much fitter than we started two years ago.”

“I have trained with Theo Wood PT since July 2002, and they have always provided an excellent personal training service. I have found them to be very knowledgeable and professional in their approach and are genuinely client focused, highly motivating, totally reliable and of the highest personal integrity. I would not hesitate in recommending them to anybody seeking a personal training company they can trust.”

“Where do I start?! I believe I must have been their “worst nightmare client of all time” having used several personal trainers previously, all of which have never lasted. It was definitely refreshing to find Theo Wood Fitness!

Having initially dictated to my trainer what I was and wasn’t going to do in our sessions, and that “I didn’t do running“, or indeed do various other exercises that were to be performed in our sessions, it soon became very apparent that I was in for a big shock! Her passion, understanding, knowledge, manners, skills and teaching ability (I believe) are second to none.

The sessions are motivating, structured and exhilarating to say the least. If you want results then Theo Wood is definitely for you. I have achieved results that I would never ever have thought were possible, my fitness is the best it has been in my whole life and I feel amazing, all of which I would never have been able to achieve were it not for them.”

“I felt the benefit after just one session. After four weeks my test results showed that my fitness had improved way beyond my expectations. My sessions are something that I look forward to each week. You get a real sense of personal achievement and believe it or not, it’s enjoyable too!”

“I needed to get fit in quick time for an important trial with a premiership football club so decided to use Theo Wood Fitness and it worked brilliantly. Not only did I shape up fast, I also learnt what to eat and when to eat it and I turned up for the trial in the best shape of my life. Not only that but I also enjoyed the sessions – well as much as you can enjoy something when you’re dripping in sweat and totally wasted!!!”

“When I started training with Theo Wood, my reasons were to get back in shape and tone up before I went on holiday. I’d not long had a baby so I wanted a flatter and firmer tummy and toned legs. After only a few sessions I could already notice how my body was changing. I hated it when my personal trainer would make me go for a run, but he knew what I was capable of doing and after each session, although I was exhausted, I felt great and looked forward to our next meeting. I felt fit again! If you want results, I would definitely recommend Theo Wood Fitness."

“It’s the first time I’ve ever had a personal trainer in my life and I can only say that it’s been amazing! Initially I expected to see results over night, which was actually my fault so I did get a bit upset when I didn’t notice a difference in the first couple of weeks. However, that soon changed and my overall fitness has improved dramatically as well as increasing my muscle tone. My trainer is always very encouraging and I respect both his knowledge and enthusiasm – it’s definitely made me happier and more confident! Thanks very much for your support!!!"

“After almost two years of working out with my trainer from Theo Wood I can see a marked improvement in my health and fitness. Even on the days when a 06:30 start seems not too attractive, his quietly confident ‘can do’ attitude is all that is needed to kick start the day. I am happy to recommend Theo Wood Fitness to anyone looking for a professional personal training company.”

“I started using Theo Wood after I had my second baby. I was expecting to keep up with it for a couple of months and lose the extra weight I had put on during my pregnancies. I had never used a personal trainer before and had always managed to keep fit by going to the gym. I thought that I might learn I few new techniques that I could use in my own routine at the gym. What I have learned is that one session of training is worth at least 10 sessions on my own at the gym. I am pushed to my absolute physical limit every session – something I would never be able to do on my own. I have discovered a whole new level of fitness that I never imagined I would have been able to achieve. I have been training for nearly a year now and never would have imagined that it would become a part of my weekly routine that I could not live without.”

“Theo Wood Personal Training helped me to formulate a fitness strategy that would get me into the marines. It only took three appointments - a health assessment, a cardio workout and a strength training session - to prepare me. This gave me the confidence to work hard at a fitness plan which I knew would deliver great results and help me to pass entry requirements with flying colours."

"No exercise for 20 years except for pressing the keyboard, warming the chair pad and turning the steering wheel. Poor diet and lousy work/life balance adding to the unfitness. In three weeks I am fitter, less fat and much happier. My trainer is motivating and realistic about setting achievable but very testing goals. Have talked and thought about training for years and spent thousands on gym memberships and never used them. This is cost effective. Wish I had started sooner."

“Theo Wood Fitness was involved in providing pre season fitness training for my football squad. I run two teams and we were promoted into the 1st and 2nd divisions this season so I wanted to make sure that we gave the boys a good fitness base level coming into the new season.

"Personal training was not for me, I was convinced of that. Running was always my thing, but I decided that I needed to do resistance training to improve my strength and core stability. I immediately felt comfortable with my trainer which was very important to me. His programmes are tailored specifically for me and change regularly so that I don't get bored and are always highly challenging. He isn't the shouty sargeant major type, he is highly motivating, demands focus and commitment, and makes it his purpose to achieve the results that you want for yourself. The benefits and results of my hard work with an excellent trainer are obvious, not just to me but to others. I am fitter, stronger and have more defined muscle tone."

“If you want a personal trainer for a weekly chin wag, a personal trainer who doesn't get upset if you are not achieving your goals, a personal trainer who will let you get away with doing as little as what you want to do in a session, then don't choose Theo Wood!
If you like to keep up with the Jones's and remind people that you do exercise, and enjoy kidding yourself, by attempting to go through the motions, then don't choose Theo Wood!

If you want a personal trainer that doesn't care if you don't achieve your goals but does care about being paid then you must not choose Theo Wood!

If you want a personal trainer that will not give you a hard time if you cancel a session then do not choose Theo Wood!
If you have goals, and want to achieve them then DO choose Theo Wood!!

My wife and I have had the benefit of training with Theo Wood Fitness for over 8 years. Over this time our trainer has sat me down and given me “warnings” that I am not taking things seriously - only a couple of times - and this feels like being back at school (I hate anyone telling me what to do!!), but you know that Theo Wood are serious about what they do and get personal job satisfaction when you achieve your own objectives.

One of my goals was to run a marathon and Theo Wood guided my wife and I through a training plan that allowed me to break 4 hours (my goal) and complete the New York marathon in 3 hrs 48 sec. If you are serious about achieving goals, then you must choose Theo Wood!”

“My personal trainer is a top man, worth his weight in gold, very knowledgeable, explains things well, and gives you a purpose and determination without being too in your face. He has a good demeanour and makes you work without being cocky, which a lot of PT's are, I would not hesitate to recommend him to anybody I know.”

“I was training for a triathlon, which I am pleased to report that I completed in a personally pleasing time of 1 hr 46 mins.  This was particularly satisfying, given that it came on the hottest day of the year so far, a week last Sunday! The training has been going great and I have shifted a stone in body weight since I started with your personal trainer.  I have noticed higher energy levels and some new and welcome additions to my wardrobe!  I still look forward to my training and feel that the nutritional advice given to me in the run up to the triathlon was invaluable.  Despite the heat, I always felt confident of finishing on the day and strongly too. I was somewhat wiped out for the following week, but my trainer managed to keep the sessions at a high intensity without burning me out."

"I wanted to mail to let you know that as a result of my personal training sessions I not only managed to do my first triathlon feeling strong and in great condition – not a single ache or pain the next day – but also achieved what I wanted, to set a time I was proud of. I think I have roughly half of my sessions left which is great because I have signed up for more tri’s throughout the summer the first of which is in 6 weeks!!"
