WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE SAID ...
During my time working with Sam he illustrated a very professional and dedicated approach to both fitness and nutrition. He brings a great deal of experience, knowledge, innovation and passion which are fundamental to helping you achieve your goals. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sam as a person who will motivate and inspire people to better their health and wellbeing.
Training with Sam takes the planning and worry out of training. My sessions are always challenging, never the same and without his motivation and knowledge I would probably do the same exercises every time! I always go home with a real sense of achievement and feel good factor, energizing me for my day!
I have known Sam for about five years during my time as a Health and Fitness Manager at Fitness First, Exeter. During that time I have enjoyed and relished the opportunity to train with him on many occasions. I have found that Sam uses his vast experience as a professional rugby player to develop and deliver interesting and always varied sessions, consisting of the latest ideas and techniques.
With Sam’s history of sports-participation, in particular with the Exeter Chiefs, it is not hard to understand the passion that lies therein and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him as a Personal Trainer to anyone.
Over the four year period that I have worked with Sam he has developed a sound knowledge of strength and power training through all the Olympic Lifting principles. This compliments the rigorous fitness training programme that he has designed. Sam also demonstrates a thorough understanding of the concepts behind sports nutrition which he applies to his own nutrition plan.
Having done a few half marathons and one full marathon in the past I thought I was in pretty decent shape before I started having sessions with Sam. However, he got me training at a greater intensity and with more variety and after just seven weeks I knocked a couple of minutes off my best half marathon time - set eight years earlier! There isn't much Sam doesn't know about fitness and his knowledge and tips that back up the training sessions are invaluable.
Having worked with Sam for a short amount of time I have found my fitness has improved week after week and I have noticed a considerable difference in my performance and so have others.
I enjoy working with Sam as he tailors a fitness plan around me and my weekly availability. He not only has a professional approach to his work he also is very passionate about it. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to others and I look forward to working with him in the future’.
Innovative, structured and rewarding is the least I can say about the ‘one to one’ ‘personal Training’ sessions Sam Blythe and Fitness Mattters offers. Although I am a seasoned exerciser, Sam during the past months that I have trained with him has, through his knowledge and experience blended routines and exercises which have had a fantastic result on my fitness and strength. Combined with his knowledge of the benefits of ‘eating the right things’ which is essential if you want to make progress, has also been extremely valuable. I would recommend Sam and Fitness Matters if you simply want ‘real’ results.
I have been training with Sam for about 6 months now. He quite simply has changed my outlook. Sam, although he will never readily admit it, goes far beyond the phyiscal aspects of personal training. Sam has a unique way of getting into a persons mind. He is inspirational, supportive and without doubt, a truly exceptional individual with an intuitive ability to get the heart of a problem and offer practical, no nonsense solutions.
You will not only leave your sessions feeling physically supported but emotionally uplifted. It is of little wonder to me that the Exeter Chiefs have achieved such wonderous things. After all, with Sam in your corner, I defy anyone to fail!
Since training with Shane at Fitness matters I have noticed a great improvement in both my physical appearance and significantly how I view myself. Like many other people I have always had low body confidence, however Shane has helped me to both improve my physique and also to view my appearance more positively. I feel stronger, fitter and healthier and significantly feel I have greater knowledge about both exercise and nutrition.
The personal training sessions with Shane are always varied and fun and so never boring. This means the sessions are enjoyable and so unlike when I used to go to the gym and feel it was a chore. I very much enjoy them. Shane goes beyond the training sessions and is always there should you need to ask a query or need an extra boost on days where you may be struggling. Thus since beginning my training path with Shane I have never felt I am doing the journey alone. I have 100% trust in Shane and his abilities and can’t thank him enough for helping me improve my lifestyle and helping me live a healthier, happier life.
