What clients say
Lewis created a training environment that was both challenging and inspiring
and was instrumental in Will winning his first medal at a regional level and
qualifying for his first State Championships that year and every year since.
I would not trust anyone else to design and deliver strength training to my son,
but I know that Lewis will ensure he works out in a way that will benefit his
running and overall health, without risk of injury or over work.

From the outset Lewis impressed me as an enthusiastic trainer who takes a keen
interest in all aspects of his trainees’ journey, including current progress and
aspirations, regardless of age and current abilities. His communication skills are
excellent, and his ability to listen and relate to his athletes is an asset he has
developed well. Lewis has put together a personal training program for me that
accounts for my racing goals for the year, while still having regard for other
personal and work commitments.
Lewis has also trained and qualified as a remedial massage therapist, and provides
these services to his clients where required, along with cogent advice around injury
management and prevention.
I have found Lewis to be highly professional in his approach to his clients. His
integrity and honesty are beyond reproach and I have no hesitation in recommending
him as a Personal Trainer.
Ken
My daughter has improved so much and is more confident. I was so impressed that I
started the running and the strength and conditioning sessions myself.
Lewis puts a lot of effort into the programs and keeping them interesting.
He is very knowledgeable and demonstrates and explains everything clearly and is
happy to answer any questions. He goes out of his way to help.
Sherie
Lewis runs a high quality running group with the sessions always being different and caters to any running ability.
Sara
Lewis has shown himself to be very committed and reliable. He is motivated to upskill
and improve himself and try new things. He continually ensures that training sessions
are well prepared, challenging and enjoyable.
Lewis is always flexible and willing to adapt and change prepared training routines
and workouts to fit in with competition dates or injuries when they have arisen.
He has an impressive repertoire of possible variations for most exercises and will
always take the time to explain activities and find alternatives when needed. He has
shown himself to be a capable and committed trainer.
Michelle
Lewis is a wonderful personal trainer and running coach. My sons have been training
with him for a couple of years now and have benefited greatly from the experience.
His sessions are consistently professional and organised with a well thought out
program that progresses over a period of weeks or months and is tailored specifically to the
group. He is always prepared and ready for the session early regardless of the weather and
sets an amazing example through his own commitment. He has an extensive experience and
knowledge of human anatomy and movement and is offers excellent advice regarding
specific issues or injuries and tailors the sessions accordingly to work with or around those
issues.
He is excellent at assessing individual strengths and focussing in on what each
individual needs to achieve their goals. My older son has learnt so much from Lewis about
his own body, technique and how to bring out the best in his own performance. It has really
empowered him to strive for his goals while at the same time learning to look after himself
and understanding his own limits. In the group sessions he adapts his programs according to
different levels of fitness and ability for all ages.
In the kids’ session that my younger son attends, he caters for athletic and
competitive kids and at the same time is equally attentive and flexible with my son who has
ADD and developmental delay and makes it fun and inclusive.
Both my sons come away from their sessions feeling happy and motivated and ready for
more.
In all his sessions Lewis is welcoming and finds a way to motivate and bring out the
strengths in each person. He fosters a real sense of community within the groups that is
positive and supportive, fun and energetic.
Lewis is a gifted trainer and a kind, generous and supportive person, who I would highly
recommend to both adults and children alike.
Kate
I have seen his knowledge and experience grow to the point where he now has a consistent
and reliable squad of runners ranging in age from 9 or 10 to over 60. His success has come
from a combination of dedication to his athletes needs, consistently interesting sessions,
an ability to share his extensive knowledge (and so answer the inevitable ‘why does this
make me run faster?’ questions that come from all ages) and flexibility in delivering a
range of sessions so that no matter the reason for attending training, any athlete can be
confident Lewis will design a session that suits. At least two of my regular training
partners started with Lewis part time and have since made the decision to train full time
with Lewis, moving away from other larger, better established coaching groups.
Lewis’ work ethic and professionalism is exceptional. My program is never late, he rarely
cancels a session and, if he does, he arranges a replacement. He does not require people
to confirm their attendance at training and is always there, even when he has no-one to
train. He is always willing to work around other commitments, sometimes running 3 or 4
separate sessions at once to accommodate different training needs and availability. He has
recorded numerous videos to help athletes understand and compete strength workouts at home
and will provide variations to cater for different levels of ability, fitness or injury. He
generally runs separate sessions for children and adults, but will make adjustments based
on both ability and group dynamic to ensure that the sessions are both interesting and
challenging.
I would not hesitate to trust Lewis’ knowledge, advice or character for myself or my son.
He is a knowledgeable, professional and dedicated personal trainer who puts the needs of
his clients first, no matter how varied they are. I have no intention of ever training with
anyone else and would recommend him without hesitation.
