Testimonials

"What struck me first was the intensity of the training. My trainer Mark Woodcock had me doing endless circuits and sprints. I soon realised that I was going to have to change my lifestyle if I wanted to succeed. I’m on the radio in the afternoons and I noticed that rather than the lethargy I used to get around that time of the day, going into the studio after my workout left me buzzing. I felt more organised and my work improved as a result. I’m going to keep my targets interesting – just looking in the mirror isn’t enough anymore thanks to Mark Woodcock."

Scott Mills

"When Jade Goody left the Big Brother House, she hired a personal fitness trainer to whip her back to a svelte size 10. However two years on and two children later, for Jade it was a simple decision to find a fitness trainer again... My trainer is Mark Woodcock and he’s been great at setting me a routine to lose weight. I’ve really enjoyed the circuit training that Mark has had me doing. When you’re doing circuits you’re constantly moving and challenging yourself and you don’t have time to get bored or think about anything else. I’ve also been doing boxing with Mark. I love it! You can get all of your aggression out and it strengthens your arms too. What a bonus!"

Jade Goody

Mark has that rare skill of knowing what buttons to press to get the best out of you, his training has helped me no end and I’ve shed loads of weight following his fitness training plans and i’m getting back to being a half decent runner again. I couldn’t recommend a better personal trainer whatever your desired outcome may be. I will carry on now, because Marks training sessions are not only demanding and fun but Mark also keeps me accountable.

Stephen Fleming

Mark has been my personal trainer for many years now. Mark is a wonderful Personal fitness trainer he is always supportive, never judgmental and is always so encouraging. He pushes me to achieve my best in a positive way. He is only ever encouraging and is genuinely so happy for me when I achieve my goals. The sessions are so much fun and I laugh an awful lot. I was very nervous about having a personal trainer because I was embarrassed about my size but I need not have been. Mark listens to you and what you want to achieve and works with you to get there. Mark is always very professional, respectful, always on time and easy to communicate with. I would recommend Mark in a heartbeat!

Claire Bone

Mark is an excellent personal trainer - knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely committed to helping you reach your goals. Each session is well-structured, challenging, and tailored to your needs. I've seen real progress and feel stronger and more confident thanks to their guidance. Highly recommend!

Danielle Horne

Mark is a fantastic Personal trainer. He’s very knowledgeable and motivating and doesn’t let you get away with any excuses! I managed some fantastic results with Mark, not just on fitness level and weight loss but also on my total wellbeing - I highly recommend him.

Alison Ford

Mark is a fantastic personal fitness trainer. He knows exactly how to help you lose weight, keeps things interesting by giving you a variety of exercises, and is incredibly supportive and knowledgeable. He’s also just a kind and interesting person who is good at developing a meaningful sense of connection with his clients. He makes everything easy and straightforward and I’m much happier with my body, flexibility and general fitness level than I was before I started with him. I used to get quite anxious about exercise generally as I am asthmatic, but my asthma has almost completely disappeared since I started working with Mark. Amazing. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

Sharda Dean

Mark is one of the best personal trainers I have ever worked with. I started working with him after having my two children and he was excellent at building a training programme that suited my needs; my phase of life and what I enjoyed about training. He is very motivational, empathetic, energetic and caring and I have seen great results. Could not recommend him more whether you’re trying to sculpt what you have or overhaul your habits. He has a very scientific approach to things and can provide a comprehensive programme including nutrition. The best!

Celine Crawford

I love training with Mark and have done so for years. He is reliable, has impeccable time keeping and makes each training session fun; changing the exercises and drills to keep each week feeling fresh. He has a great ability of enabling you to achieve the goals you have set. Mark is a pleasure to spend time with, whilst encouraging you to achieve optimum results with your fitness. I highly recommend him to all ages and abilities.

Sarah Dollimore-Ansell

Mark is an absolutely brilliant personal trainer - I can recommend him whole-heartedly! At the beginning, he took time to understand my needs and made a bespoke plan. Every session is carefully organised, great fun, and of course challenging! Most importantly, Mark is a kind and wonderful person, which means I always look forward to sessions. Training with Mark has changed my outlook on fitness and health, which has made a positive impact on all areas of my life.

Alastair Chilvers

Mark is a personal fitness trainer for my grandson Alfie. He’s incredibly kind, polite, and very easy to get along with. If you’re looking for someone like Mark to help with your training, I highly recommend getting in touch with him — he’s been absolutely brilliant!

Jackie Pennington

I was heavily over weight and being nervous about reaching out to Mark. Mark made me feel relaxed pretty much immediately. Mark was quick to change my diet and the training in open fields were fun and enjoyable. Ive been with mark two times and for 24 sessions and i cannot fault him at all. He certainly knows his stuff and I highly recommended him. Call him/send him a messsge, you wont be disappointed.

Lee Batsford

Mark is such a positive professional. He takes the time to understand what is important to me regarding my training and my goals and has supported me in achieving them every step of the way. He created a bespoke running training plan for me which helped me achieve a personal best that I thought I would never reach. I am very grateful to him for challenging me and celebrating my successes.

Charlotte Cawley

For me the most important part of my relationship with my personal trainer was trust, Mark sat down with me explained the process and what to expect. Everything he described happened and more, I feel incredible. Thank you Mark!

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of hiring a personal trainer?

I will provide individualised instruction based on your fitness level, goals (such as running a marathon or losing 50 pounds), and any health issues (like bad knees or back pain). My goal is to keep you inspired, organised and accountable, so that you can remain consistent and progress more quickly than if you were working out on your own. I will also ensure you’re using the correct technique to lower your risk of injury and adjust your training as you improve.

How often should I train with a personal trainer?

The right frequency will vary for you based on your objectives, available time, and fitness level. Beginners could begin by training twice to three times a week, to help build the habit and pick up exercises and movements, whereas more experienced exercisers would usually train less often and supplement with solo workouts. I will construct a plan that works around your lifestyle and maximises results.

What types of training can a personal trainer offer?

I provide a variety of services, including general strength and conditioning, as well as general exercise. I cater towards functional training, HIIT or sport-specific programmes, depending on what you’re interested in and what your goals are. Your plan will be individual to you, and you’ll be able to do what you enjoy and need to do.

Do I need to be fit before starting with a personal trainer?

No, I cater to all fitness levels, from beginners to seasoned competitors, or simply those returning from injury or illness. I will assess your current level of fitness and develop a personalised, safe, and progressive program tailored to your needs. My know-how allows you to make sure that you get more fit without making a series of beginner’s mistakes.
