Testimonials
I have been very fortunate to have worked with some amazing people throughout the years and some of them have graciously put in words some of their thoughts about our time together.
Amanda says:
“Steven has been a phenomenal personal trainer and I’ve worked with him for years!
He’s helped me through several large life events, including meniscus surgery in my right knee and that rehab/recovery process, as well as preparing for my wedding day. In both instances Steven asked me about my goals and objectives early on to ensure I could hit my targets safely, with a combination of HITT, strength and healthy diet. His training techniques involve positive encouragement that truly motivate you to give just that extra bit of effort, even when you think you can’t. I have nothing but gratitude and respect for Steven Thompson, and would highly recommend him for anyone looking for a personal trainer to help achieve their health goals. THANK YOU, STEVEN!”

"I started looking for a PT with the goal of building both strength and stamina. I had always loved exercising in one form or another, so I was looking for someone who could push me beyond the point that I push myself - without shouting at me like a military Marshal! Steven quickly understood my personality and goals, and that although I was already highly motivated, I always love a good challenge! He became my perfect “play” partner every week, setting ambitious goals, e.g. aiming to do 5 consecutive pull-ups (I am a lady!) and I’m proud to say that we did achieve that together! He also pushed me during sessions to increase my stamina and I would say that one of Steven’s best quality as a PT is his ability to understand that each client is different and each one needs to be motivated in a different way."
Dylan Says:
"I joined my first gym when I moved to London and Steven was my first trainer and thank god for that. He made me so comfortable and gave me such confidence. Not only did he teach me everything about working out and how I can concentrate on different areas of my body but we also had the best time talking and laughing (which made it SO much easier). Thank you for teaching me so much in the gym and also listening to me rant on & on! You are truly the BEST!"
Cinzia says:
"I am an ex professional athlete and having worked with a number of people in the field, Steven is the personal trainer that I have appreciated the most! He is professional, kind, and what helped me a lot was his non-judgemental attitude, The feeling that I could work and achieve results with my body as it was, even when I was injured."
Aneeza says:
"I've never been one of those people who loves the gym or looks forward to exercise, I'll openly admit that I just didn't have the self-discipline or self-motivation. Since I started working with Steven, I've lost weight/ fat and become more toned, started a love affair with the gym, gained a level of fitness I never thought possible and have increased my self-confidence. I wasn't confident enough to wear a bikini for the last 7 years, and after just 6 months working with him I was finally able to wear a bikini on holiday! I have been with Steven for over a year now and since then my confidence, appreciation for a healthier lifestyle, and motivation has increased exponentially to the point that now I love eating healthy, going to the gym and join in classes on my own without feeling ashamed of "not being as good" as my peers in the class. I now exercise almost every day! Steven has truly changed my life. Furthermore, Steven lends a fantastic ear, he is literally my second therapist where he has helped manage my stress and day to day motivation. I can't thank or recommend him enough for everything. I don't doubt you will get the results you're looking for with him as your PT.
P.S. His jokes are hilarious! Always positive when you just want a laugh, especially if you're having a down day."
Lise says:
"I feel Steven and I have a special relationship as we’ve been through big milestones in our lives together. He’s made / kept me fit through a wedding and 2 babies, and we’ve become friends along the way. Our weekly sessions are not only a great workout, but also a catch-up with a friend I look forward to.
Steven started training me in a bit of a last minute panic a couple of months before my wedding. It had been a crazy year at work and I’d come out of my fitness routine right at the wrong time !
We trained hard (like... hard!), and I felt so much better in my body for the big day.
I quickly realised when you start training with a PT (or at least my PT!) you really can’t go back to training on your own ... I just can’t push myself that hard, and I get bored.
But more than that, I’ve felt so safe and confident training with Steven through the massive physical changes that occur in pregnancy and post natal.
With Steven’s support and coaching, I stayed super fit in both my pregnancies, adjusting sessions to my needs and constraints every week.
I’m starting postnatal recovery now for the second time and it’s so great to know I’m in good hands and I’ll get back to my happy healthy fitness level. I think both kids and hubby would thank Steven too for helping me keep my balance and feel good in my body (= in my mind too!).
Here’s to many more years and milestones together !"

Giuliana says:
"I have been training with Steven for over two years and I definitely got stronger! Every week I get a new challenge and we build up from there. As now we do this from home I need to regularly buy more weights as we outdo them! In our training sessions he never forgets a back exercise because in the past I had back pain as for work I tend to sit down in front of a computer for most of the day.
I have two sessions a week one about strength and one about high intensity and that adds further variety to our training routine.
I highly recommend training with Steven as he pushes but never at the point you could get injured which is a delicate balance when you do train with weights."
Rita says:
"I have always been sporty and active; however, after I had a planned caesarean, I was keen to get back into shape. I did not need to loose weight, but rather rebuild my abdominals after the surgery and also was keen to build muscle mass and tone certain parts of my body. I shared with Steven my goals and Instagram photos and he designed a bespoke programme meant to help me get into shape and realise my objectives. I was sometimes keen to accelerate and increase weights, etc. but Steven stopped me and ensured that I followed an exercise plan where I really got into shape at the right pace and did not get ahead of myself and injure myself.
As we had to shield during lockdown, I continued to train with Steven and the efficacy of his training or ability to monitor me and guide me was not affected by lockdown. We continued the workout routine via zoom and it worked perfectly. In the middle of lockdown, I suffered a domestic accident and I had to have surgery on my foot. As I was able to exercise other parts of my body, Steven modified my exercise my routine to ensure I could keep working out without compromising my operated foot.
I have fully recovered and train twice a week with Steven (one only glutes and one full body) and highly recommend him. Steven is kind, honest and professional. He is respectful and very knowledgeable about the body, exercise and particularly post-natal or post caesarean exercise. Also, when I have asked for “homework” or additional exercises to do when I don’t train with him, he very generously sends them free of charge. He will work with you to achieve the goals YOU want and if you want him to push you as I do, he will. Steven is the best and I totally recommend him!"
