Peter Norris - Chairman | Virgin Group Holdings
"I have a rather hectic schedule with quite a lot of long-haul travel. I also try to maximise the amount of competitive tennis I can play. Being in my 60s, this means I have to be really careful about how I keep fit and in shape. I’ve had a number of exercise-related injuries as I’ve got older, mainly involving the knees. Working with Richard for nearly 10 years now has been great. He understands what I need to do and is able to craft my programme to achieve it. We work a lot on flexibility, as well as strength and basic fitness. Richard manages it so that my dodgy knees don’t become a problem! Being trained by Richard has been really good for me and has kept me doing what I want to be able to do."

Paul Peters - CEO | Hindawi
"I started training with Richard about 9 months ago, and at the time I hadn’t been inside of a gym for at least 10 years. Over these past 9 months I’ve lost 10kg, and simultaneously put on a good amount of lean muscle mass.
More important than my weight loss has been the overall improvement in my health, strength, and stamina. I went from feeling completely out of shape with very little motivation to do almost any strenuous activity to feeling like I am in complete control of my physical health.
Apart from the work I do with Richard in the gym, I have started running 5+ miles every weekend and taking yoga classes, which is entirely the result of the confidence and strength that Richard has given me during our sessions.
In spite of how much Richard has helped push me to improve my health over these past 9 months, he has done it in an incredibly supportive and friendly way that makes me happy to be training with him. He has also been very flexible with accommodating my travel schedule, which often requires me to miss our regularly scheduled sessions."

Tim Seyner - Director | Artisan People
" For the last six years Richard has been extremely effective in helping me manage some severe back issues. When you have a slipped disk and lumbar/glute issues the last thing you want to do is exercise but Richards' constant support has really kept me motivated. His sessions are enjoyable and he totally understands when, due to my back pain, we have to change the session content at short notice. Richards experience with back rehab and innovative ideas to pain management have have kept me motivated during times when I felt like quitting. I would be in such great shape without him! "

Andrzej Goluch - Director | AG Cleaning Services
"I started training with Richard back in 2009. I weighed 70kg and my body fat was 16%.
Richard is my third personal trainer and by far the best. I have finally felt like I am training with someone who really knows what he is doing. Changing exercise and training patterns every 6 weeks, he always explains what we are aiming to achieve, through our different types of training. Either through building muscle, strength or losing body fat.
Richard seems to always do research, trying new things and sharing new ideas with me. I stopped buying Mens Health as Richard gave me all the knowledge I needed.
Richard was helping me not only with exercise but also with nutrition. His recommendations are always spot on.
While I've been training with Richard and following his recommendations and advice, I have been able to lose 8 kg and 10% body fat. He helped me to reach the goal I set for my 39th birthday. My body fat was 5.5% and with his help I am able to keep it under 7%, even with my busy schedule and frequent travelling.
Richard loves what he does and with his constant research I can stay fit. His professionalism and dedication for fitness make him the best"

Sally Long Innes - Managing Director | Independent Talent
"I started training with Richard in the February before my 50th birthday which was at the end of September and I was determined to look as good as possible ! My weight at that point was 72 kgs and after 7 months of training with Rich I got down to 63 kgs which was exactly where I wanted to get to. Apart from the weight loss I also felt really strong and fit and old problems with my back had completely gone. My job as a theatrical agent involves a lot of travelling and socialising and so sticking to a regime and a healthy diet is really difficult. However working with Rich is incredibly motivating and enjoyable. He makes every session different and stimulating and ultimately really fun. This is why I was able to achieve amazing results in such a relatively short period of time and I was really pleased with the outcome."

Shaun Bell - Head of Marketing | Federation of Master Builders
“Training with Richard on my fitness over the last few years has been a really great experience. He has been incredibly encouraging and supportive in all aspects of my fitness - not just workouts. Our sessions have always been hard work - exactly what I need. But they have always been lots of fun and he has really kept me motivated – even when I’ve been lazy or picked up an injury. When I thought I couldn’t do something or didn’t want to do it I was never allowed to give in. No shouting or work-out clichés just encouragement, belief and motivation. The faith Richard as shown in me has really delivered results – and I’ve massively surprised myself. His professionalism, knowledge, versatility and enthusiasm has helped me lose weight, get fitter and actually really enjoy exercise again. I can’t recommend Richard highly enough - I don’t believe that I would have got anywhere near where I am without his help.”

Tom Green - Officer Cadet | British Army
I started training with Richard in August 2016 for the purpose of having professional structure and guidance on how to pass the fitness test to join the British Army and attend the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. I was also keen to work on general strength and conditioning, which was at a reasonable standard having worked and trained as a ski instructor for the last 3 years, but it not where I wanted to be with the tough physical aspects of selection approaching.
In a relatively short period of time I began to notice big improvements thanks to Richard’s help and guidance. In a preliminary test I was able to pinpoint weaknesses that Richard very quickly set right with bespoke plans that he would fine-tune during our weekly sessions and ultimately coached me to a level that surpassed the Army’s entry standard and I was delighted to pass selection in December 2016.
Richard’s constant help, knowledge and expertise were essential to my success without which I don’t think I would have met the standard for entry. Since passing the selection board we have continued to develop my strength and conditioning which is now better than ever before. Richard’s motivation has driven me further than I ever thought possible, and I am extremely pleased with the result!
