I have been training with Neilie for six weeks and am blown away by his attention to detail, his positive attitude and his commitment to helping me achieve my goals in the most sustainable way. He takes on board my disability and my post surgery difficulties to create a challenging workout that suits me as well as offers a calm, consistent, positive approach which keeps me motivated as I am very impatient and stubborn. His nutritional support has been invaluable in keeping me on track to my goals. I am looking forward to training with Neilie in the long term.
