Client Testimonials

Steve Hickson - Trevor is super …Three words: Trevor is Brilliant. I came out of christmas feeling a bit fat and unfit, looked him up and a month later I can safely say he’s the best PT I’ve had the pleasure of training with (and I’ve tried a few!). Trevor is super friendly, he knows his stuff, he’s full of advice, he cares about what you're trying to achieve and best of all he puts you through a great workout. He motivates you as well, pushing and coaching you in a manner that doesn’t leave you wanting to pack it all in and gorge on cake. In a nutshell, I can’t rate Trevor highly enough - get in touch, you won’t regret it.

 

Stephen Fishbourne - I slipped a disk about 2 years ago and 9 months ago was still in pain with reduced movement. I was very worried about a personal trainer "making it worse" but went to see Trevor for a trail 9 months ago. From the start Trevor was fantastic and the change in the time since has been huge. Trevor really knows what he is doing with injury rehab. The workouts are carefully calibrated and the exercises carefully chosen to help you progress but I have never felt I am risking making the injury worse. As valuable is Trevor's advice with wider lifestyle factors - walking, standing and sitting at a desk, holding the kids, etc - which have also really helped. I would definitely recommend Trevor to anyone coming back from an injury, or who just wants to get fitter.

Justin Collins - I have been training with THP for over 6 months now and unfortunately my old review was deleted so updating my review. My 5⭐️ review still stands. I was a 30st Chronic Pain Sufferer and THP is literally saving my life. From increasing my strength to boosting my confidence THP is a wonderful trainer who has been exactly where I am. (If you go to the website please read his story). I never believed I would be 4st lighter able to do a squat with a kettlebell like the picture but a picture tells 1000 words. Your goals do not need to be like mine the other benefits.I have felt are the functional strength, the ability to get out of bed, the mental health benefits and so much more, If you are after a supportive friendly trainer who will get the absolute best out of you no matter where your fitness is please do speak to THP I guarantee you won’t regret it. Thank you for reading this and THP thank you for all your support.

Hema & Palitha - Positive: Communication, Professionalism, Quality Trevor has been absolutely amazing. I was looking for a personal trainer who would help my mother and father (in their 70s) to get into better shape. They have absolutely loved working with Trevor, and for the first time in many years they are excited about exercising. Trevor is masterful and experienced in managing people with arthritis and other long term health conditions, making him perfect to work with my parents. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Especially for older people with health conditions. He is sympathetic, kind and gently increases the intensity of the workouts. For anyone looking to get into better shape but has underlying health conditions or just feels they are too old to start I would suggeest working with Trevor. Thank you Trevor for giving my parents a new lease of life!

Toby Ryland - Training with Trevor has been great - he pushes me hard but coupled with a lot of humour! The sessions are always challenging but are fun and I have seen solid improvements in strength and fitness.

Vim Patel - Trevor has been great personal trainer! I have started to get back on track with my fitness due to Trevor, I needed someone motivational and who would tailor fitness to my busy family and work life. I have become more conscious of daily activity and ensuring I am moving a lot more than previously. I have incorporated exercises and stretches into my daily routine which make my day pain free. I feel positive and energised and able to do more activities whether work or pleasure. I would highly recommend Trevor as he will find the right balance for you. He does not use a generic approach which I really like and quite often has variations of the same exercise to suit you. He has challenges that help ensure there is progression, but at a comfortable pace. Thank you Trevor for helping me get back on track and I look forward to the weekly sessions! I would highly recommend THP!

Stella Seales - from the Platinium Get Fit & Strong Fitness Partnership Program: Trevor is an inspirational teacher and has all the tools to help you get fit and healthy. 

He is an extremely patient and likeable guy who possesses a wealth of knowledge about fitness, health and the general workings of the body. 

He has a real, genuine concern for his clients, and their improvement and progress make him as happy as they are with the good results. 

I started with Trevor 4 months ago, pretty infirm and with a lot of back pain and arthritis. With a personal exercise and lifestyle plan, I know I have improved a great deal. I feel stronger, have more stamina and feel very positive for the future. I joined Trevor’s personal sessions at the beginning of lockdown, and have to say that the Zoom sessions have been extremely successful. I continue to enjoy my sessions and exercise regime. Thank you Trevor, keep the good work going!

“My son discovered Trevor by searching the internet for a suitable personal trainer for me, his 74 year old father, and then cajoled me into attending a 1 - 1 session with him. I never looked back! 

His encouragement and enthusiasm was such that he rekindled my desire to take up exercise again. 

The sessions were always programmed to push but not strain, always taking into account my limitations, and avoided the dreaded treadmill which had put me off previous attempts to get fit. 

 He also developed a series of exercises for me to do at home to alleviate the stiffness in my back. I wish I had discovered Trevor much earlier.”   

Alison on the Platinium Get Fit & Strong Fitness Partnership Program: 

I started with THP Fitness training after reading the Guardian article. I was very fed up and felt At the end of my tether due to life limiting arthritis in my lower back and a worn out hip, plus the usual various old injuries from a previous dancing career. I have done various exercises including yoga and I found they aggravated my condition. I have been doing the THP fitness exercises everyday and my one to one session once a week for approx 3 months. I can now walk without pain fo at least 30 minutes and at speed (I hate dawdling) and I also managed a countryside walk up a hill at the weekend. This is a big deal. In today’s session I managed to feel I achieved some aerobic exercise so some sense of normality and the buzz you get after exercise. The exercises you are given are tailor made to your needs. I thoroughly recommend embarking on a training course for whatever reason be it fitness, weight loss or mental well being - however, you will need to make sure you commit to the exercises on your side to see the results.

Simon Lewsey Positive: Professionalism Trevor has been my PT for well over a year now. He has been excellent at helping me regain my fitness levels after a knee injury. Since Lockdown we have moved to an online session which has been really easy to set up via Zoom and has enabled me to continue to improve. Thank you! Reply 1

Julie Baxter 2 I had a very stiff shoulder after having lymph nodes removed 8 years ago. I didn’t have physiotherapy straight away as recommended, and so consequently I suffered for 8 years with pain and stiffness. I joined this gym because I knew I had to get fitter and didn’t know that my aches and pains could be ‘cured’. I told Trevor about my aches and pains and so he worked with me on my shoulder. I now have no stiffness or pain at all. It’s a miracle! To add to that as well, I had lower back ache due to sitting down in an office all day and that too has gone! Thank you Trevor for me being pain free!

Lynne Hatton 3  Trevor is amazing and always on hand to offer advise. Every workout is fun, positive and invigorating. Would highly recommend.

Cassius Rodrigues  I found Trevor after looking for a personal trainer near me in my area, and after reading his positive reviews I gave him a call to book a free consultation. Trevor is a very friendly down to earth guy who understands your fitness needs and will help you reach your goals. I've now been training with him since the summer and feel great. Each workout is varied and intense, & tailor made to fit what you want to achieve. I've also had some injuries from other sports that I do, so Trevor also focuses on these to help recovery or improve any imbalances. I would definitely recommend him.

Paul Ewen 1 Just completed the 10 day fitness challenge and feel great, Trevor is a great guy and motivator just what i needed. His training sessions are fun and suited to individuals strengths and fitness levels. He makes you feel comfortable as soon as you walk into the studio.

Rada Alleyne 4 Fantastic training in Croydon. Trevor is a very motivating trainer. He is very knowledgeable about different exercises and works from the core. I saw a big improvement and would highly recommend him. It was a great bonding session for my sister and I. He trained both of us together and adjusted each exercise to suit out individual ability.

Gillian Knighton 1 review 2 years ago- I went to THP Fitness as I needed to strengthen my core as I have had a spinal fusion and I was still having problems. I also have a torn cruciate and cartilage and needed to strengthen my leg. I've been going to Trevor for around 4 months, it has been the best thing I could have done, I am now able to run and do other activities I would not have been able to with my back. Great motivator, makes the session fun, but push's you in the right direction. Fantastic, friendly trainer even though when your doing your workout you want to throttle him(only joking Trev).

William Baker 1 review a year ago- he is very knowledgeable about what can help make you fitter and after 20 sessions with him I have come on leaps and bounds and without him, I probably wouldn't have had the motivation to continue. he is also just a nice person who you can have a conversation with.

From the first conversation we had I knew that Trevor was going to be great! He is friendly, genuinely cares and takes time to listen to your story. Due to years of abusing my spine (through work) I have seen several osteopaths but felt I was going round in circles. After several circuit training sessions and a 1:1 back session with Trevor (where he showed me exercises and stretches that would help) I can honestly say that I feel so much better, any pain has gone and it has not returned - nothing short of a miracle!! (and a lot cheaper than an osteopath)
I have also taken part in Trevor's 10 day fitness challenge which was great fun and lovely to meet like minded people.
I have always trained on and off with a pt over the years and Trevor definitely is one of the best trainers in the area. Nothing is too much trouble, the group sessions are always small (never more than 6 people) everyone I have met has been so friendly, all the sessions have been different so its never the same, it is so reasonably priced, I feel I can always contact Trevor between sessions for advise (and I do!), and most importantly all the sessions have been FUN!
I promise you will not regret calling Trevor!
