PERSONAL TRAINING (ONLINE AND 1-2-1) CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Why take my word for it when you can hear from some of my clients......
Carl broke a mould that I thought was my life.
.
Absolutely anything I’ve ever queried with Carl, has had rational way of thinking.
Moderation.
No “I can’t have that I’m on a diet.”
Hello “I’ll wait to have that as it’s not going to stop being an option in a few months”
He even told me to eat a chicken Big Mac because that was disappearing off the menu.
That girl in the photo is HAPPY.
The weight of everyday struggle has gone.
Thank you Carl for turning my world the right way up and for teaching me how to treat my body with the respect and love it NEEDS.

I can confidently say that I have hit the age of forty in the best shape I’ve ever been.
But I don’t see aesthetics as the end goal; it has gone so much deeper than just getting stronger and fitter.
Carl, Georgia and Alice have created a truly special training environment at Epic.
I know, as I continue my journey in strength training with Carl, that I have the best support possible and I am surrounded by positivity, where anything can be achieved if you have the desire and dedication.

The support I have received from Carl throughout this process has been incredible, even when I’ve fallen off the wagon or had a meltdown (there have definitely been tears and tantrums along the way!).
Knowing that there is someone at the end of the phone for advice, support and accountability has given me the motivation and boost I needed to achieve what I wanted. Carl has been adaptable to work with me to devise a programme that changes according to my needs.
With the final 15kgs gone, I am now a total of 40kgs lighter, I am fitter, stronger and happier than ever! We marked the occasion with a professional photoshoot something I never dreamed that I would have the confidence to do!
I couldn’t recommend Carl highly enough. Nothing worth having comes easy but if I can do it then so can you!

When I approached Carl I had been going to the gym on and off for a few years and felt It was time for me to get some help to reach the next level of my training.
Carl has helped me with both nutrition and training and improved my understanding and performance for the future.
Alongside this he has helped me outside of the gym dealing with challenges and keeping me on track whilst still enjoying the moments in life that matter.
I am thrilled with the results we have both achieved in our time together and thoroughly enjoyed the process while gaining a true friend along the way.
Carl’s dedication, time and commitment to helping his clients is second to none and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a coach whether you are only beginning or experienced in the gym.
Big thank you for all the help👊🏼

My goal was to lose fat, check! Almost 12kg in 12 weeks, to gain muscle, check! And to gain strength, check!
In just 12 weeks my leg press went from 180kg to 300kg. My shoulder press went from 55kg to 85kg. My bench press went from 65kg to 75kg and my squats went from 70kg to 105kg. These stats are the ones which jumped out at me as the massive outliers, but when you look at my progress, every single muscle group I trained is massively stronger now.
I could not have achieved this without Carls help.

We achieved so much more than i had ever anticipated, i had laughed when Carl mentioned the prospects of having prominent abs and sure as heck did that come true. I made PB's every week and that belief Carl initially sparked up prior to starting our journey, had actually become a reality. Carl gave me the opportunity feel a confidence i'd never experienced before, i no longer cared what Bill and Ben in the corner of the gym were thinking, i put myself first in the sense that i no longer wanted other people to dictate my results because i cared too much what others thought.
As my other half recently said, Carl is a great role model and i am honoured to be one of his clients.

Just Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. You have honestly changed my life for the better, I have fallen in love with fitness aging and I can not wait to see how far I can take this
You’ve been amazing and not just by helping my achieve my physical goals witch I still can’t believe but also by helping me understand how I got to this point.
Rather then just giving me a 10 week training program and saying right off you go then, you were so supportive & checked in almost every day, no question was ever to stupid and I was never made to feel silly or like I didn’t belong in the gym.
Can’t say it enough but let’s go 1 more for Good luck THANK YOU
Rob Hart - 10 Weeks
“ I have been overweight most of my life with a few brief periods of weight loss.
In essence it took me 20 years to put on so much weight that it seriously impacted my health and my joints, I have arthritis and both hips and knees are crumbly, I have been given one hip replacement at age 34 and at 40 I decided to do something about it.
I gave myself 10 years to get the kilos off, and as of last Thursday I have been discharged by my surgeon as the weight loss and strength training have been so effective that I have stabilised my joints and by keeping my weight down i should be able to avoid knee and hip replacement for at least 10 years.
I can not describe the relief, having had one joint replaced, it’s not something I recommend, by giving myself the gift of a healthy fitter body I am no longer at risk of complications from multiple surgeries and have reduced the risk of stroke and am now mostly pain free and much happier.”

“Being a mum, life was/has been all about my children.
Now they’re growing up, I’ve taken a step back and started looking at my life and where I was going.
I felt fat and frumpy, living in leggings and baggy tops, I decided now was the time to do something. I felt unhealthy and worried as I was becoming bigger that my health would start to cause concern.
I was tired all the time and just had no get up and go.
I started googling gyms and fitness classes, that’s when Carl’s add kept popping up. I eventually thought “what have I got to lose”, but the thought of walking in to a gym scared the shut out of me, but Carl was there to greet me with a friendly face as he always is.
Honestly, replying to that add is one of the best things I’ve ever done.
I’m still working on my goals, but the inches are coming off weekly.
With Carl’s help, motivational push and experience in food and nutrition, I’m learning more about my food and calories intake.
None of these things have ever been given to me before with a gym as you go in get assessed and basically get on with it. But with Carl you get the full package.
I look forward to my weekly sessions and am forever grateful for finding Carl.”

''As a result of personal training, I have conquered my fear of the gym, and I have gone from being an uncomfortable size 14/16 down to a size 12 within 8 weeks, losing 4.6kg overall. I feel great and everyone has commented on how much slimmer I look, it’s also pretty great to have to shop for smaller clothes as all my old clothes are hanging off me. I’ve enjoyed the sessions so much and learned so much about what I can do, and what I am capable of that I have signed up for more. I can’t wait to see what’s next….''
Sarah Moore
''I've been working with Carl for just over 2 months now and it’s been fantastic!! His no nonsense approach is invaluable and if you are consistent you will reap the benefits! I look forward to our session every week, we have a laugh and get the job done! Also he checks in with you several times a week, you don’t get that kind of commitment from a PT at most gyms out there. Would recommend him 100%''
Michelle Kitch
''I do, and always have done, a fair amount of sport, but as I’ve got older (now 60 ish) my muscle tone has been lacking.
I’m not really into running machines and the like but was interested in giving weights a go.
Carl has supported and pushed me all the way. He “gets” that I’m not too bothered about my weight as a number.
He “gets” that I’m competitive on what I achieve in the gym
He “gets” that sometimes my motivation falters
He “gets” that I have particular areas that I want to focus on
Carl works with me, is flexible on what we do but always encourages me to do that bit more. Definitely recommend 👍''
Gillian de Cruz
''Before coming to Carl I had tried many different diets and since my 3rd child my weight has steadily increased, I even invested in a semi-personal trainer. Even then working out 3-6 times a week and receiving nutritional guidance my weight wasn’t budging.
I was introduced to Carl via a friend who had already had great results with his help.
With a very busy lifestyle I was unable to make the time to take Carl up on the offer of personal training so I decided to try his online nutritional coaching.
I’m so pleased I did, he made everything so easy to understand, there was no foods off limits and I didn’t have to change the foods I eat.
The thing that makes all the difference is the support that Carl gives. It’s as though his on your shoulder helping you make the right choices and keeping you on track. Carl doesn’t boggle you with science and is straight to the point, which we often need! He understands that life isn’t always perfect.
Since starting the Nutrition coaching my weight is steadily coming off.
I would recommend Carls online coaching to anyone that wants to change their life.
Thank you for helping me begin to change mine.''
