Testimonials

I've been training with Gordon in Club Vitae since January 2008. After being overweight most of my life, culminating in a trip to ultra-healthy Japan where I felt like the largest man in the country, I finally bit the bullet and decided to come to the gym.

Gordon comes up with programmes that are both varied and challenging to stop me from losing interest. He always encourages me to push myself to the limits and get a great workout through overloading. Gordon also paid a lot of detail to my diet, helping me to realise where I was going wrong and always suggesting healthy, tasty, new foods to try.

In less than a year I lost 7 1/2 stone and 12 inches from my waist with Gordon's help, but once I hit my target weight, it didn't stop there. Gordon continuously works with me to increase my fitness, meeting my own goals with a structured program both in and out of the gym - he even went the extra mile and encouraged me to take on a 10km run he was also doing - something I never thought I'd be able to do, but came in with a time of 52 minutes. Not only am I much fitter and healthier than I ever was, but I'm a lot happier and confident since I started training. My whole outlook on life has changed and I have just returned from a 10 day activities/fitness holiday in France where I did altitude running, whitewater swimming, mountain biking and climbing. Bofore I started training with Gordon I would never had thought of participating in one of these holidays.
