Oliver James Personal Training - Testimonials

"After looking at various personal trainers in the Altrincham area, I chose Oliver James Personal Training in April 2010, initially as a way to look better before my holiday in June. I had been an occasional, often half-hearted gym-goer for a few years but always knew I wasn’t pushing myself anywhere near enough. I always felt that personal trainers were a luxury but it soon became clear that having one was really making a big difference in a relatively short space of time. The team helped me achieve my goal of losing body fat, building lean muscle and increasing fitness in a quite dramatic fashion so much so that I decided to carry on with my sessions even after my holiday. Now I am feeling better than ever and wish I had got a personal trainer sooner."

Emma – Altrincham

"After my sister had started to train with Oliver James Personal Training and I noticed she was improving each time I saw her I decided to have a couple of sessions to help me tone up and shift the fat on my stomach. I instantly felt better about myself and my self confidence improved. The sessions were specific to my needs and my trainer also varied the exercises we did which kept my sessions effective and enjoyable. I also felt that with the nutritional services being included I benefitted dramatically from this. The team helped me so much and I couldn’t recommend a greater company to go to."

Jenny – Wilmslow

"I started training with Oliver James Personal Training to increase my fitness, lose weight and tone up. I knew a few people who were trained by them and they seemed very popular. Oliver James Personal Training has helped me lose weight and tone up which is surprising considering a year ago I thought the only option for me was a gastric band. I am so happy I made the decision to hire a personal trainer instead. If you are a woman looking to tone up and get fit then Oliver James Personal Training is the team for you!"

Janet – Wilmslow

"I have seen significant improvements in the way I look and the muscular strength I have and this was only in the space of 6 weeks! I never thought I would be able to see and feel the significant changes I did in such a short space of time. I would highly recommend Oliver James Personal Training to anyone who is serious about wanting to improve their appearance and strength in a short space of time. They are a very professional team and will do everything they can to make sure you achieve your goals."

Ben – Wilmslow

"The primary reason for looking for a personal trainer was to bulk up. After spending years going to the gym and walking past the weights straight to the treadmill it was time to get some motivation. Ollie's approach has been perfect. At the start I was pretty nervous about my general lack of strength, but Ollie was professional and offered encouragement to keep me going. He did not over promise in terms of the timescale for results and set realistic goals. He is exceptionally knowledgeable and explains the benefits of each exercise. My programs are changed on a regular basis to keep them interesting and Ollie gives me a plan to work to outside of his sessions. As for results, I now have a rail full of shirts I can't fit in for all the right reasons! I would highly recommend him."

"When looking for a personal trainer I was looking for a variety of things. An experienced, knowledgeable, and professional trainer. Most of all though I was looking for a trainer where I would feel comfortable having them in my home. When I met Oliver he was very enthusiastic and made me believe that I could achieve anything. After six months I had achieved my original goal and much more. I feel better than I have ever been and the results continue to come. Oliver James Personal Training is the best company I have been trained by after having so many other personal training companies in the past."

Helen - Wilmslow

"Working with Oliver is a fun and effective experience. I have lost over three stone since I have been training with him and feel so much better now. I have lost weight, improved my fitness, toned up and most importantly increased my self confidence. Oliver is very professional as he is always on time, explains things clearly, and helps you as much as he can. He also makes the sessions varied; teaching me new things like boxing and core stability exercises. I have fun each time I am trained by Oliver and look forward to every session. A highly recommended trainer."

Debbie- Hale, Altrincham

"Oliver James Personal Training is the best service I have come across in Manchester. I have had five Personal Trainers in the past and they have not given me the results I wanted. Then I met Oliver, with his structured programs, nutrition service, and enthusiasm I managed to achieve my goals in no time. Now I have set new goals and feel fantastic. He is without doubt the best trainer in my area and he will go that extra mile to help me with my fitness and nutrition goals."

Sarah- Altrincham

"I've been training with Oliver since September 09 and have found him to be an effective trainer who is sensitive to my individual needs. Olivers sessions are always varied, mixing weights with short bursts of cardio, and are designed to push you to your limits! I have seen, and felt, a huge impact on my body shape - not only have I lost weight but I've shed 10 inches too! I continue to enjoy the sessions and would recommend Oliver to anyone who is serious about improving their physical fitness."

Ruth Wright-Manchester

"Ollie (Oliver) Smith is an excellent personal trainer. He is fun, friendly and pushes you to your limit and no more. He respects what you can and cannot achieve but will help you to do your utmost. He designed a programme which was perfect for me as an individual. I am no longer a spring chicken and yet Ollie has never let me feel that I was too old to get fit. I continue to train with him because I feel safe and happy in his professional hands and I recommend him highly to anyone looking to get fit and have a laugh along the way."

Christine Holland -Tytherington

"I have a pretty busy work life, and although I do occasionally visit the gym I don't feel I'm getting a great deal of benefit from it. Then I met Ollie. Ollie gave me a structured routine to follow whilst at the gym, and along with his weekly one to one sessions I'm finally starting to see results. Ollie gives me the kick I need to go that one step further, which has me feeling better in myself . Ollie is always changing the way we train to ensure I get the most out of my time with him. I never knew exercise could be this much fun!!"

Dan Garner -Didsbury

"I have been training with Ollie twice a week, and now feel the fittest I have ever been. He is an excellent trainer, who works you hard and keeps the work outs challenging, whilst making the session fun and highly enjoyable. Ollie is likeable and friendly, yet maintains a professional manner, and is very knowledgeable in his expertise. Highly recommended."

Vicky Jackson -Wilmslow

"I've been working with Oliver and I can't believe how good I feel these days. His unique ability to make me go further than I believed possible during our sessions has not only increased my fitness but also my self esteem. A hard but empathetic taskmaster with infinite patience is just what I needed to get me motivated. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone!"

Vicky Watson -Sale

"I started training with Ollie in mid September 2009. He had been highly recommended to me by my friend who is a personal trainer. I had decided that I needed to do some kind of resistance training to improve my strength and muscle tone. In stepped Ollie, I liked him immediately and felt comfortable with him which was a very important part of my criteria when thinking about having a personal trainer. I am definately stronger which I love and my muscles are much more toned. Infact my whole body is starting to change shape. I had many positive comments about my body change over the Christmas period which is always great to hear. Ollie isn't a shouty sargeant major type, which is why I like him, but you have to work hard when you train with him."
