Should we get rid of the scales? 🤷🏼‍♂️
"They’re not accurate, they don’t take into consideration weight increase from gaining muscle, water retention and most importantly they don’t measure sexy!" All this considered, I still personally think that the scales are one of the most accurate ways of assessing fat loss....

Supplementation……are you trying on ties before your suit?
A few years ago, I got invited to a very big prestigious event filled with very important people within the fitness industry.
The event was smart casual attire. First thing I thought was I needed a tie. Yes, you read that right, smart casual and I’m prioritising the tie. So, the next day I got up out of bed and went straight to the tailors “let me see your best ties” I said. He looked at me bewildered and said, “you’ve...

Training Intensity💪🔥 - Do you have more left in the tank?
This is something that I find advanced lifters get wrong and beginners quite often nail!

How much body fat/weight should we be aiming to lose per week? 🤔
This one obviously depends on how much body fat you have to lose and wish to lose, but the short answer is as much fat as possible whilst maintaining good energy levels and preserving muscles tissue. Your body is not stupid, if you’ve taken your training and/or nutrition too far, it will tell you off, you’ll feel crappy and your performance will decrease.
A good guide to follow for safe and sustainable weight/fa...t loss is to aim for a 0.5–1 kg loss per week. Having said that, you need to focus more on listening to your body!
People can often panic when they lose fat rapidly, but if you’re not too hungry and are feeling good, then there’s nothing to worry about, you’re doing great! Unless of course it’s an unexplained weight loss, you’d then need to seek medical advice.
In summary: If the fat is flying off you, you’re continuing to get stronger, feeling energised and sleeping well, then you’re doing great! 👏

Hangover impact 😬

Try these bad boys out!
Its Christmas, embrace the carbs! 🙌
Shopping & Ingredients List:... 240g Plain Flour 1 tsp Salt 4 small Eggs, beaten 2 tbsp Groundnut Oil 300ml Skimmed Milk 20+ pumps Cooking Oil Spray 40g jar Mincemeat 1 Orange, juice only 100g Raspberries 1 tbsp Icing Sugar
Method 1. Blend together the raspberries & icing sugar until smooth. Use a fine mesh sieve, pour the raspberry mix into a jug through the sieve. 2. In a small saucepan heat the mincemeat with the orange juice. When simmering take off the heat & Blend smooth. Put into another jug & keep warm. 3. Preheat the oven to warm, a low heat. 4. In a mixing bowl stir the salt into the flour, then whisk in the eggs, oil, milk & 200ml of water until smooth. 5. Heat a small non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat & coat with cooking spray. 6. When the pan is hot, pour in a quarter of a ladle of batter. Cook for 1 minute. Flip the pancake over & cook for a further 30 seconds - 1 minute. Cook the pancakes in batches. Keep the pancakes warm in the oven on a non-stick baking sheet. Place a piece of greaseproof kitchen paper between each pancake to prevent them from sticking together. Add extra pumps of cooking spray to the frying pan as needed. 7. Make the pancakes into triangle shapes, overlapping them slightly to make a Christmas tree shape. 8. Drizzle the mincemeat mixture over the tree to represent garlands & dot the raspberry mixture as bubbles. See picture.

Wow! Just wow!! I don't even know where to begin, which aspect of Andy's programme should I single out, that played the most part in me loosing over 2 stones in 6 months on the run-up to my wedding, while starting to build up some muscle too. I can't, because his plan works as a whole!



Finally, after years of trying to conveniently find a miracle diet, training on and off in the gym with no direction whatsoever, I realised I need some expert guidance, and I can honestly say I couldn't have chosen better.



Not only does Andy's way of training and planning nutrition WORK, but more importantly he changes your way of thinking about food and exercise, that stays with you even after you're not being watched over by him. His no-nonsense, scientific and knowledgeable approach really makes you understand what you're doing and why, which helps you to stay on track.



Granted, you have to put some work in it. If the exercises are easy, you're doing them wrong! � But it's worth it. Trust me, he knows what he's talking about. Sign up today!



Thank you Andy!

What can I say. Andy completely understood my personal circumstances and designed my plan to cater for it. My goal was to build my muscle mass back up again with all over body workouts and boy we achieved this. My body shape has changed, my thighs, arms and back have developed so much. My plans were a good mixture of working different body parts which really kept me interested. Andy is always there to listen to me and change things on my plan where it seemed fit. The feedback videos are my weekly highlights. Andy is that good for motivation he's still my PT 6 months later, I'll be continuing with him for some time. Well worth the money. Don't delay, get Andy booked today! Thank you Andy!

Started with Andy 3 months ago and he has changed the way I think about exercise and food completely. 3 months ago I was doing at least 5 exercise classes a week and going to the gym to do cardio and play squash on top of that, plus I was watching what I was eating but seeing no improvements. In the past three months I have done next to no cardio and I am eating more food than ever(just more of the right things!) and drinking as much as I want :D I have loved every single minute of the programme, its kept me on my toes and you record all the weights and reps you do so you can see that you're improving as the weeks go on! For anyone who is tired of going to the gym and pounding the treadmill all the time and not seeing any change I would thoroughly recommend Andy, he is not only a really nice guy but a great personal trainer too! Thanks so much for all your help Andy!!

Just finished a 3 month PT programme with Andy and I have to say it's been very impressive.



I'm 35 now and I've made more progress in these 3 months than I ever have in 17 years of pottering around in the gym not achieving very much.



The programme helped me to stay focused and push harder than I have before. Knowing I had a certain session to follow meant that I stayed that bit longer until everything was done and ultimately that's what pushed me on. Also previously I would avoid excercises I didn't like or find enjoyable which ultimately left me weak in certain muscle groups.



I've gained around 6kgs (just under a stone) and increased muscle mass virtually all over (5 inches on my chest � ). In particular have noticed my strength has rocketed.



I can't say it doesn't take some dedication so don't assume paying for a PT instantly entitles you to improvement.



Andy was motivational and encouraging throughout. He had to adapt quite a few sessions to allow for injuries and availability of equipment at my particular gym.



The weekly feedback and contact you have with him means that you can constantly adjust and adapt your sessions to meet your goals (even if they should change mid programme).



Value for money is exceptional when compared to conventional side by side PT services but you must remember to be disciplined with yourself (because no one else will be) and also take the time to really watch the instructional videos to make sure you adopt the correct form when performing the excercises.

I’d never really considered an online coach before but I came across Andy’s website and I was really impressed with what he was offering. I emailed him and he replied within hours, we had a chat about goals and what I needed. Andy really listened and his enthusiasm was infectious. I logged straight online and started with him then and there. 4 weeks in and I’m amazed with my progress so far. Andy’s sessions are hard but rewarding, he’s easy to contact, listens, his video feed back is so encouraging and I feel his knowledge is really helping me get to where I want to be as I wasn’t able to quite do it by myself. Thanks Andy, I’m excited (and nervous!!) for phase two!! �

I've been training with Andy since November and in that short space of time, I've came on so far. Everything has improved. My nutrition is better. I'm fitter and stronger and have more energy during the day. Andy is very understanding about anything whether it's a match week so he'll alter the programme that week or it's been a stressful week with university, he caters to every need. Working with Andy is always fun and I never feel like I can't do anything. He is very passionate about what he does and it comes through in his sessions. Anyone wanting a personal trainer should 100% consider Andy. Starting training with Andy is one of the best decisions I've ever made. Thank you Andy for helping me achieve my goals and smash final year

I was recommended Andy by another Pro-Fit training, i came lost deep into a restricted diet, try to train with no consistency and ended up injuring myself. I have a history of poor nutrition which Andy has taken on board and agreed to take on the challenge of training me. At first he stripped back my training, whilst this made me anxious im so glad i listened to him as building back a good foundation has enabled me to progress well beyond my expectations.



He has helped me gain a healthy relationship with food again and increased my intake at a pace i've been able to manage and when i've had doubts he has always been there to offer advice and support me. He has allowed me to have input into my programme and gone the extra mile to show me exercises and review my techniques which is amazing considering im on online client. With being online he as given my useful web links and guides on how to understand the programme.



Each month i've seen new changes and gained more confidence in myself and my ability, i would never had got to where i am today without Andy's support he really has changed my life, i feel happier and healthier in myself and that for me is GOLDEN, after years spent trapped i feel with the help of Pro-Fit ill one day be free and have some gains. Bonus



Thanks for all your hard work =)

I started training with Andy to help me recover from an ACL reconstruction and found his programmes and advice to be excellent. He helped me understand more about the right blend of exercises vs cardio and the importance of nutrition in training. I'm now back playing football and have completely changed my approach to the gym all thanks to his expertise. I would definitely recommend him!

I signed up with Andy after getting frustrated with my lack of progress in the gym. I work nights and needed a personal trainer that was more flexible than the ones advertised at my local gym who typically only work office hours.

Andy has proven a god send in this regard.



He's been an absolute font of knowledge and has given me an easy to follow diet plan and exercise regime. He responds to questions quickly and motivates me to keep on track. I can't recommend him more.

I have been training with Andy for 5 months now and I never thought I would be where I am now in such a short time!

Thanks to his expertise, support and guidance I am a much happier and healthier person. I can't even begin to describe how much has changed for the better, from energy levels, sleep quality and general mood to feeling strong and fit. And no more back pains I used to suffer from!

If you are thinking about getting a PT just do it, it is the best investment you will ever make, one that will pay off in so many different ways and Andy is your right choice!!!

I have been training with Andy for 3 months now and he is great!

Every session has been a perfect balance of challenge and fun and I truly enjoyed going back into a proper training routine.

I feel a lot stronger and ready to take on the new challenge that Andy will includes in his training plan. He's always available (even on holidays!) and keen to clarify any doubt, push you to the limit but he will always have a smile and will encourage you. Loved these 3 months and cannot recommend him enough! Thanks Andy :-)

I have always been physically fit, but I have always been fat, i just couldn’t understand why.



Andy has been awesome in stripping things back to basics for me and helping me get to grips with my nutrition in order to supercharge me weight loss and muscle growth. Ive had fantastic results in under 2 months and ive never felt better and have more confidence in the training i am doing and the fact i can finally achieve the body that i want thanks to andy!

I can't recommend Andy enough, I started training with Andy 3 months after a having a baby I was desperate to get my old body back as quick as possible.



Andy put me on a realistic eating plan and has changed my plan perfectly adding in things when I have asked for it and always being available to my many many questions . I have so far lost over 2 stone in 4 months and I would never of done it without him being there each morning ready to push me through it, he motivates me when I have had no sleep (thanks to the baby) and I genuinely feel like he believes I can do it which makes me train harder and stick to the eating plan (although I add in wine ). I have one more stone to lose and with andys help I know I will do it.



Thank you Andy!!

From what started out to be a 3 month trail, I’ve now completed 8 months with Andy.



Regardless of your knowledge, experience and confidence in training and eating a balanced diet; Andy is the guy to help you achieve your goals.



He’s been there to pick me up when I’m “not feeling it” and praises regularly when I lift heavier weights, run further and row faster.



Cheers for everything Andy!

Andy is a friendly guy and pushes you to meet your targets. Encourages you when you doing good and makes you aware of things you could do better. Would defo recommend to others! Thank you for your help Andy! X

Andy is a fantastic personal trainer! For the first time in a long time I feel like I’m looking after myself properly which is thanks to his nutrition and exercise support. I’ve lost weight, got fitter and feel so much healthier! The amount I’ve been working out has dramatically increased because of his fun and varied workouts that regularly change so there is no chance to get bored. He is super reliable and whenever I’ve asked him a question he has always got back to me very quickly. If you follow his advice you will get results!

Andy goes above and beyond what many trainers do and I cannot recommend him enough! He will work out a training and nutrition programme to suit you personally and provides constant support and encouragement to make sure you're happy but pushing yourself as much as you can. You won't just hear from him twice a week at your sessions, he will always check in with you during the week with to see how you're getting on. If you think you're losing motivation he's always up to having a chat about what your goals are and what we can do to get back on track. He will be completely committed to each of his clients and brings the same high level of energy and enthusiasm to each session.

Sign up for a consultation and you won't regret it.

An absolutely fantastic experience. I’ve been training and lifting weights for four years now and I have never seen such progress with my lower body in terms of muscle mass and definition as I have now with Andy. It’s been a wonderful experience and he’s always so supportive and understanding and prompt to reply any questions or concerns. Very flexible too!! Would totally recommend to anyone as it gets rid of any guess work and really makes you push yourself.

Am already impressed with the standard of the programme and support offered to my training! Andy was able to create a programme which fit round my akward job and the support he has offered in the couple of weeks is great, Would definitely recommend to anyone looking at online personal training!
