Exercise Science Based Training

I had been weight training for many years when I sought out Rhys’s coaching. I had severe osteoporosis and I was injured. Rhys used evidence-based exercise strategies and he fully understood my needs as an older woman. Rhys also provided me with a regular program to follow between our weekly sessions and he is always available to answer questions.

Since starting with Rhys, I feel stronger than ever and the rate of my bone loss has decreased by two thirds. As far as I am concerned, training with Rhys is an integral part of my physical and mental wellness regime

Rhys has such a calm, friendly nature and from the very first session made me feel completely at ease. He genuinely cares about his clients and their individual needs, and it really shows in how thoughtfully he approaches each session. He was incredibly supportive and accommodating of my post-partum limitations, always making sure exercises felt safe, achievable and confidence-building. On top of that, he’s so easy to chat to, which makes training feel relaxed and enjoyable rather than intimidating. I always left sessions feeling supported and encouraged and I would definitely recommend Rhys as a PT!

I am blind and have been receiving personal training sessions from Rhys since 2022. With his excellent guidance, he takes me safely among the gym equipment from exercise to exercise. Rhys has a comprehensive knowledge of the body and exercise techniques and has developed a personalised training program that has kept me engaged and motivated. As a consequence, I have regained muscle and core strength that I had many years ago. He himself participates in a range of sports and is committed to fitness. He is a good communicator and the progression of my training Is carefully done to avoid injury.

I have been training weekly with Rhys in a small group of senior ladies for a couple of years. He is knowledgeable and very accommodating of/patient with our various injuries and ailments and is quick to offer modifications or alternatives to exercises to suit. He keeps things interesting by regularly changing our program and adding in new exercises. He challenges us without being pushy or loud (his sense of humour no doubt helps) and is genuinely a pleasure to work with.

Over the past years, Rhys has efficiently organised and run a small group circuit training session of which I am a member. His sessions vary each week, focusing on core strength and balance with other weights and resistance activities.

Rhys is always courteous and professional in his approach, respecting each person's level of fitness while encouraging individual goals of greater fitness.

He has created a friendly, relaxed environment in which we all have fun while working out under his direction.

Rhys has a calm and positive approach to personal training. I am new to this area of strength training and his clear instructions have helped me to understand the correct use of gym equipment used in my program. He has helped me remain motivated and focused while at the same time avoiding injury or muscle strain.

I definitely feel an improvement in my physical and mental health since starting with him.

Rhys is an expert trainer across the community, working confidently with the young, the super fit, and those who may not be as fit (but soon will be!). His strategically planned workouts are fun and engaging, and you absolutely feel “exercised” by the end of each workout.

Rhys is naturally skilled at adjusting his planned circuits to suit each member of the group’s individual capabilities, taking into account injuries or temporary niggles. Rhys has a lovely manner and a happy disposition, and he is especially patient in his guidance. His skills and knowledge are clearly evident, as he is immediately able to suggest appropriate alternative exercises for almost all injuries and ability levels. I always look forward to training with Rhys.
