I don’t even know quite where to begin, because the beauty of this experience is that it worked before I even had to stop and think about it. Gavin’s ability to push me toward physical transformation is something special already — his training is intelligent, empowering, and consistent. My body feels different. It looks different. I’m stronger, more energised, and more connected to myself than I’ve ever been.

But when I think about that, combined with his emotional, spiritual, and skilled approach to the mental and emotional transformation — it is nothing short of sensational.

During the hypnotherapy sessions, we used visualisation in such an empowering way — like my mind was painting a version of me that had always been there, just waiting to shine through. It wasn’t about trying to force confidence or silence the insecurities — it was like they gently faded into the background on their own, replaced by this grounded sense of yes, I’ve got this.

What’s been most powerful is realising — afterwards — just how different I’ve felt. There was no dramatic fanfare, no moment where I had to think “oh, I’m doing it now.” I was just in the moment — fully present, glowing, happy, confident. I achieved things and enjoyed myself without the usual inner noise, without those insecure voices whispering doubts. They simply weren’t there. And that absence was filled with something radiant: self-belief, joy, calm accomplishment.

And now, when I reflect back, I’m honestly blown away. My body has transformed through the hard work Gavin guided me through, but so has my mind. The shift has been natural, lasting, and deeply real — so much so that I didn’t even need to stop and notice it at the time. I was just living. That’s the true magic of this work. It’s not just a hypnotherapy session. It’s not just a training plan. It’s an experience that helps you become the version of yourself you always knew was in there — and that version is thriving.

I can’t recommend enough doing the hypnotherapy work along side the personal training, for the ultimate success!

“Stronger, fitter, and loving the gym again — thanks to Gavin!”

After years away from the gym, I wanted a personal trainer who could not only rebuild my fitness but also help me fall in love with training again - and he’s absolutely delivered.

I chose to work with Gavin because he offered a well-rounded approach to fitness, combining structured physical training with a strong focus on mindset and well-being — something I truly believe makes all the difference.

At 62, I came to Gavin with a couple of long-standing injuries, including trochanteric hip syndrome, which had left my hip extremely tight and limited my movement. He incorporated specific stretching techniques at the end of each session, which have not only provided relief but given me tools I can continue using on my own.

His sessions have been challenging but enjoyable, and always adapted to my pace. He even got me boxing - something I never thought I’d enjoy - but it quickly became a favourite part of my session and it's a brilliant stress reliever! Gavin’s encouragement and energy pushed me in the best way, and I’m doing more than I expected.

Thanks to Gavin, I now feel gym-ready, motivated, and very excited to keep progressing on this journey, and I’m genuinely grateful for the positive impact it’s had on my overall well-being.

Thank you, Gavin!

Just wanted to pop here and say how great Gavin is. I chose him to be my pt for a couple of reasons as he not only works on the physical aspects but also the emotional ones too. Simply working out and losing weight is one thing but without the changes mentally I knew it wouldn’t be sustained. Gavin really takes you through the gears slowly ensuring that you adopt the right habits and helps you make the nutritional changes too. Gavin’s sessions are well planned and worked out specifically so that you can achieve your goals. Gavin is friendly and professional as well as being firm to push you through your barriers. I can’t recommend Gavin enough

I meet Gavin soon after he started at the gym and was very friendly and helpful. I was doing a gym session and I watched Gavin with one of his clients and I impressed with his teaching method and wanted to sign up with him.

I am now over half way of my sessions and I have enjoyed every session. I am 69 years old age and have a new hip and have arthritis in hand and hip. My left knee is painful. Now my left knee is better. I'm doing boxing I cannot praise Gavin enough for all his help, kindness and patience. I used to go to the gym as I felt I needed to. I now go and thoroughly enjoy all my sessions and feel confident to try new apparatuses instead of sticking to the same routine.

Also I feel mentally better I've lost weight and toned up, have more stamina. I feel also I have made a friend.

I started working with Gavin at 7 months post partum- I felt really unsure of how to get back into the gym having gone through such a huge life and body shift! He has been amazing at building back my confidence; pushing me when I need to be pushed and encouraging me to shift my mindset into positive thinking! I would absolutely recommend him to anyone wanting to start or continue their fitness journey!

I met Gavin at my local gym, whilst chatting to him admitted I didn't feel confident using the fitness machines & that I attended the gym out of a sense of duty, rather than enjoyment.
Gavin took me under his wing & I signed up for a number of personal training sessions.
The advice given to me has altered my opinion of the gym & now I enjoy going.
Gavin quickly recognised my limitations, adjusting the work outs accordingly in a sympathetic and encouraging manner.
I cannot praise Gavin enough. He has changed my attitude & confidence.
I still have a long way to go to reach my physical targets, but Gavin has equipped me with the right knowledge and mental strength to make this journey possible on my own.
Not only did I aquire a personal trainer, but a friend too.

Working with Gavin has been monumental in so many ways. His kindness and authenticity were clear to me from our very first chat. It was easy to connect with him and build a professional relationship where I felt safe and supported to be honest about my fitness journey.

Gavin’s skill set has helped me immensely in the gym, guiding me to push through limiting self-belief systems that have long needed to be broken down. He’s not just a trainer—he’s a coach in the truest sense. He holds that extra percentage of belief in me that I’m still working toward, and I genuinely trust him with it. He sees the power and potential within me, even when I can’t, and his ability to draw that out has been transformational.

On top of that, Gavin supports me with mindset work through hypnotherapy, providing powerful audios and real-time coaching sessions to complement the physical work we do. His holistic approach to fitness is both valuable and reliable, and I’ve genuinely enjoyed every training session.

He makes every session fun, different, and challenging. His personality is the perfect mix of supportive and hilarious—he knows when to push, when to listen, and always brings great energy that keeps me motivated and ready to keep going toward the future success that we are building

My personal trainer recommended Gavin to me as I had a keen interest in boxing having done kick boxing many years ago when I was at my fittest…

Gavin has a calming, positive attitude and a wealth of knowledge he brings to each of our sessions.
Having an injury and right sided weakness, Gavin showed me kindness and patience and adapted our sessions to personalise the workout to help me get the most out of our time.

Spending time on getting the technique right was crucial to my development, we have built a great professional relationship up and now he pushes me to my maximum effort to which I take out all my frustration on the pads and at times visualise hitting him and not the pads lol

Honestly cannot recommend Gavin enough, he is inspirational and everyone needs a Gavin in their life to help become the best you can be.

Wow, the words won’t do any justice to what this man can do. I train with him for boxing and pad work and meet up twice a week.
He ensures my technique is right before landing the punches, we have amazing fun throughout the workout but he puts me through my paces.

When he nags me about my techniques as I’m doing things wrong, I do picture him when I’m hitting the pads!!

Not only is his positivity and encouragement in each session he brings a calmness and kindness to each session.

I CANNOT recommend him highly to anyone, we all need Gavin in our lives!

Gavin found me in the gym looking a bit lost and explained how to use several of the machines.
Before I knew it, I was training with him. Definitely one of my better decisions. Now an hour at the gym is much more efficient. Gavin is always very encouraging and keeps changing the exercises so I don’t get bored but keeps a few the same so that I properly get them.
I have a fair few injuries and Gavin listens to me and is able to change the exercises at the last minute if needed.
He has incorporated some boxing which is hard but a lot of fun.
Overall, the training pushes you just the right amount and Gavin is always very encouraging, friendly and approachable.

Wow where do I start what a fantastic calm and positive man Gavin is, I chose him to be my pt because of his calmness and his confidence and the way he carries himself around the gym and he just had this side to him that really does put you at ease. Also when I started with Gavin he sent my some hypnotic speeches which are so insightful and really really helps you with each and every session you do. I personally listen to it morning and night and 15 min before I do a gym session.
I would really really highly recommend Gavin for your life changing journey because it’s not just get you in the shape you want to be in and fitness goals of the individual but it’s also mind and body and when you link it altogether believe you me your whole mindset changes on the journey you walk with Gavin is so inspirational it gives you so much confidence and within the confidence you really do feel unstoppable.
Plus genuinely you won’t meet a man as soothing and calming as Gavin but he will push you and his knowledge this guy has got is phenomenal and at the end of the day you pay for the WHOLE package.
He is a fantastic man and I so glad I decided to go with Gavin and believe you me I have a lot of work todo and with him by my side I know 100% I will get to where I want and need to be.

I have been training with Gavin on and off for the last year and have found that he is experienced and knowledgable and has corrected bad form with my training using a variety of body weight and light weights. I am at my target weight due to the variety of training we do, I particularly enjoy the boxing element and the fact that I can train at Southwick or Lancing depending on where I am working. Gavin is motivated, flexible and has the ability to improve not just physical health but my mindset with the alternative coaching that he offers. I would highly recommend!
