Before training with Gonzalo I was incredibly nervous and lacked confidence in the gym, I stuck mostly to the same few exercises making little progress.

Over the past 9 months of training with him, he has been incredibly patient and completely brought me out my shell, Gonzalo strikes the perfect balance of supportive yet knowing when to push me further and I have since discovered a real love for the gym.

Physically I have made much more progress than I ever anticipated but the mental transformation alone has made it all worth it, for the first time I can now walk into the gym with confidence and I don't think twice before using the free weight area.

Gonzalo is a genuine joy to train with, incredibly friendly and he's brilliant at what he does, I couldn't recommend him enough!!

As a trans man finding an LGBTQI+ person to work with on my fitness journey was essential, and Gonzalo couldn’t have been more of a perfect fit.

Not only is he incredibly motivating and knowledgeable in his field, he has an absolute heart of gold. I have been having sessions with him for over a year now and our weekly sessions make me feel not only so much better in my body, but our conversations help clear my mind - I leave every session feeling better than when I walked in.

Upon our induction I mentioned having issues with shoulder pain, and Gonzalo has continued to create and alter a plan to me depending on how my body is feeling. While I also work with an osteopath for physio therapy, Gonzalo is always keen to hear updates and how he can accommodate me in my next steps in my fitness journey.

It’s been a long process understanding my body and the strain it experiences, and having to shift from heavy weightlifting to more mobility based exercises has at times left me extremely unmotivated. But Gonzalo is always quick to remind me that although my workouts have changed the progress we’ve made together has made me in tune with my body in a way I’ve never been.

I cannot recommend him high enough, a genuinely incredible person, one of the kindest souls I’ve ever met. I am incredibly grateful to be able to work with him.

Working with Gonzalo has been wonderful! I was nervous about starting at the gym and he made the whole process feel not only comfortable, but enjoyable. He is fun, friendly, and great at what he does. I’ve been doing sessions with him for 6 months and I can’t believe how much progress I have made in such a short time. If you have any hesitations about starting with a PT, especially if you’re queer, Gonzalo is the PT for you!

I have worked with Gonzalo for over a year now and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for professional, personalised and positive personal training. I am a harassed perimenopausal mother in her late forties with an intense full time job. I have every reason to not get out of bed and go to the gym, but I always go to my sessions with Gonzalo as they are one of the highlights of my week. He is always very attuned to how I am feeling physically and adjusts our workloads to match. I never feel embarrassed even when I have a day where my performance is less than good, and I can see how much progress I’ve made as a result of our sessions. Gonzalo is always encouraging and has a sunny, positive disposition which makes him uplifting to spend time with 😀

Gonzalo is top notch!

Motivating and uplifting, he would push me but also remind me to take care of myself too. Full of energy and optimism, his charisma and zest is infectious and makes any hard day an easier day.

Hearts all around!

Gonzalo is fantastic!! As a nonbinary queer person, I love the opportunity to train with someone who I can relate to, and someone who can build my confidence in the gym environment. Gonzalo’s approach is personalised and professional - he motivates me to push myself by developing skills and strength in ways that feel supportive and safe. He also makes the experience super fun and enjoyable - the perfect balance!! I feel so empowered working with Gonzalo and I can’t recommend him enough!!

I honestly can't recommend Gonzalo enough as a PT! I'd been training on my own in the gym for about a year and a half and before that I'd trained with a remote PT who got me into weightlifting. I started with Gonzalo this year because I'd been consistently struggling with barbell squats (both front and back squats) for YEARS (including having a little frustration weep in the loos over them). I wanted to feel much more confident with them and to be able to progress them as a lift.

Gonzalo and I discussed my goals and he put together a comprehensive training plan which has 1 in person session with him and 3 sessions training by myself. We stripped the weight right back on the squats and Gonzalo gave me a lot of additional strengthening exercises after we identified that I was getting pain in my right quad that was affecting my squats. I've seen a huge improvement in just four weeks already.

Gonzalo is really encouraging and very open to adapting my program if there's something I'm not clicking with. The little cues he's given me have really helped me not only improve my squats but my other lifts too. My sessions are really fun and rewarding and I love seeing my lifts all improving again after having felt a bit plateaued after training by myself for so long.

I met Gonzalo when he gave me an induction to the gym. I’d only ever done home workouts with dumbbells before so had no idea what I was doing with the machines and heavier weights. He made me feel comfortable and informed, talking me through the different areas and going through some key exercises together.

After a couple of months on my own in the gym I thought having a trainer would help me progress further as I wanted to lift heavy but didn’t feel comfortable or safe doing it alone. I immediately thought of Gonzalo and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. I look forward to every session, knowing that I’ll come away from it feeling not only stronger, but also more confident in my own ability and more comfortable in a space that I felt like I didn’t necessarily belong in before. His personality is infectious and my abs get a work out each week from all the laughter.

The sessions are tailored to my goals and he created a workout plan for me to complete outside of our sessions. Even when I’m working out on my own in the gym he regularly pops over to see how I’m doing and I know I can interrupt his own workout if I need some help. I love knowing there’s a friendly face in the the gym to help me out and support me.

Would strongly recommend Gonzalo as a trainer if you’re looking to build strength and have fun doing it.

Amazing!!
