“My weekly sessions with Charles are undoubtedly the most important of the week for my overall fitness and wellbeing. Over 2 years working with Charles my strength, flexibility and ability to manage stress levels have all materially improved. Charles philosophy is one of identifying the weaknesses that are holding you back from being the best you can be physically and mentally. Not only are we working on muscle weaknesses that affect flexibility and overall strength but also on breathing techniques to reduce stress and improve sleep. He is a different breed of trainer. Impressively knowledgeable about optimizing performance which is about fitness, diet and stress management. It’s a more holistic approach but it’s always evolving as you improve and can take on more challenges. His positive energy, patience and willingness to share his knowledge make every session challenging and enjoyable. Charles philosophy translates to all fitness levels. I strongly believe Charles would be as impactful working with high performance athletes as with clients with mobility issues. ”
