First Rate Fitness

Fantastic experience: Started with stephan at 20 stone and I can tell you what without him I don't think I'd ever reach my goal of 15 Stone. His Guy is amazing he will push you to your goals and will never give up on you. If anyone wants a PT who will help you towards your goal and push you is GUY for you!!!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I’ve been training with Stephan since 2019, he’s a great PT & provides lots of support and guidance. 100% recommend!

Fantastic experience: Hands down one of the most passionate, hard working guys I know. He sets everything up to challenge you every session but makes it fun enough to keep wanting to come back. I can't recommend him enough! He always listens to concerns and does not only focus on your physical wellbeing but mental too. This personal trainer is simply a superman in disguise!!

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed the sports massage. Felt great afterwards. I recommend.

Fantastic experience: After never having a sports massage before I was feeling slightly nervous as I didn’t know what to expect. However Stephan instantly made me feel at ease and talked me through exactly what he was going to do to help my problem areas. He’s honest, thorough and very professional. After only one session I am already feeling the benefits of his work. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Stefan is a excellent personal coach/trainer. He is always helpful and very enthusiastic and ensures that he finds a way for me to carry out exercises that I could not even think about in the past. He really has helped shape my health - thank you so very much, wishing you seasons greetings!!

Fantastic experience: Stephan is fantastic. Really knows his stuff and was very professional and thorough. I had a knot the size of a lemon in my back that was affecting my training every day and Stephan managed to sort it right out for me. I would highly recommend him!

Fantastic experience: I have been using Stephan as a personal trainer since September 2019. I am an older client in my 50's and whilst in the past I used the gym a lot I had in recent years stopped going to a gym and had put on a lot of weight. I needed the motivation and support to get back into good fitness once I took the plunge to return to using a gym on a regular basis, and also to help me to reach my goals of weight loss and better health and well being. Stephan is very professional in his approach. He enthuses and encourages and also challenges and motivates the individual and ensures that you stay on track, but all is done professionally and with great sensitivity to the persons experience and abilities. His approach to working out makes working out with him fun and also informative. He has a wide experience of personal training for clients from a variety of ages and levels of fitness. I continue to enjoy my weekly sessions with him and he has taught me a great deal. If I was to sum up his approach I would say Stephan listens firstly to the individual to see what they need and want, then he looks at the person, their lifestyle and the amount of time they can commit too and then he works out a tailor made programme specifically to help that individual meet their own personal goals. You are always treated as an individual by him and with great courtesy and kindness. Stephan gently motivates you to do your best and to meet new challenges and goals of fitness and well being. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a very professional personal trainer, with great skill and knowledge and with excellent interpersonal skills.

Fantastic experience: I have been having bi-weekly personal training sessions with Stephan now for around 2 months. Before training with Stephan, I would sign up to a gym, feel completely out of my depth and unmotivated then end up not sticking to the gym as a result. This is something that I have been doing for several years. Since I have been working with Stephan I finally feel like I'm enjoying the gym, and I'm making the process I have always wanted to achieve. I feel like I'm learning loads and my motivation is at an all time high. This is largely because of Stephan and his commitment and dedication to the people he trains. I finally feel that with a lot of hard work and Stephan's help I'm going to reach my goals. I would recommend Stephan to anyone regardless of their previous gym experience.

Fantastic experience: Initially I was struggling with an ongoing hamstring injury and my Osteopath recommended Stephan he put together a series of exercises which really helped cure the problem. Since then I've worked with Stephan 2/3 times a week and my fitness has improved greatly and I've also lost weight. Stephan is a true pro with global experience in some top notch places, bright, articulate, fun to work with and someone who I'd highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Very good trainer! My first time in any gym and he’s helped me a lot, very patient, no complaints at all, would definitely recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Stephan is an amazing personal trainer. He really listens to his client and understands their needs. He’s very friendly and makes you feel completely at ease! I would recommend him to anyone who wants to achieve their fitness goals! I have trained with Strongfirst certified trainers but I much prefer Stephans approach.

Fantastic experience: I booked Stephan in for a Mobile Sports Massage due to severe discomfort in my back. After one session I felt relieved from pain and I slept properly for the first time in a while. I will definitely be booking again and I highly recommended Stephan due to his professionalism and knowledge. Thanks!

Fantastic experience: Steph is a great trainer. His understanding of personal goals, preferences and limitations makes for constructive sessions that deliver results. (He’s a nice guy too - even if he includes split squats in the program!!)

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Stephan for a few months and I'm already feeling stronger.

Fantastic experience: Initially only my Husband was having personal training sessions with Stefan but when I seen the real difference it was making to Roberts overall fitness and body shape, I also decided to start having training sessions. It has made a real impact to my general fitness, health and body shape. I fully recommend Stefan's workouts to anybody that wants to make real improvements to their overall fitness.

Fantastic experience: Stef is amazing. He makes a tough workout a lot of fun. He's super bright and explains things in a way that makes them applicable in my everyday life. I can't recommend First Rate Fitness enough

Fantastic experience: Stephan provides an excellent service - totally designed around me and my goals. Each week I get a new routine which is always challenging and fun. Can’t recommend Steph enough!

Fantastic experience: Steph trains my Dad. I get to join in on weekends and during school holidays (sometimes voluntarily and sometimes because my Dad makes me). I like training once I get into it, especially when we train outside in the field by our house. I feel like I'm getting stronger and can tell a difference in my arms. I'd definitely recommend Steph because he pushes you to work hard, but in a nice way. (Luke)

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Steph for the last few years. He is a lovely guy who knows his stuff. He really listens to you to make the training really personal and effective. For the first time I have a regime I can manage in my busy life that still gets results! Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Having started stick thin I have been really pleased with the progress I have made thanks to the personalised and fun training sessions with Stephan. Feeling fitter and stronger than ever !

Fantastic experience: I'd been struggling for a long, long time with my weight and diet, trying everything and getting no-where. Stephan took a look at my 'healthy' eating habits and immediately showed me where I was going wrong. Within a few weeks of consistently sticking to his advice I could myself changing - I snacked less, craved less sweet food and actually felt motivated to work out for once in my life. His advice & support is second to none and after finally seeing results I'm motivated more than ever. The best thing about Stephan is he's realistic, funny to work with and I trust him completely.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic! For the first time ever I've actually stuck with a training regimen. Training at home is super convenient and fits in with my life. No getting out of it when he's knocking on your door! Seeing real benefits, fitter and stronger already.

Fantastic experience: My partner and I do couples training with Stephan 5 times a week. He's been our personal trainer since July 2016, but the home training started in January and I love it...well I love the results and the price, not sure I'll ever love exercise. Had gym memberships but the fad would quickly wear off and I'd stop going. Pretty hard not to turn up to your house. Stephan keeps me motivated and it's really convenient as he brings all the equipment. He's flexible with our work commitments and more committed to my goals than I am. I've lost nearly a stone in weight and all my clothes fit again. My 15 year old son also joins us for the park sessions now the weather is getting better.

Fantastic experience: We have both been Online training with Stephan since the beginning of the year, he has provided us with a nutritional diet plan and our own training plans. We have both lost a stone in weight so far, we feel fitter, have more energy and for the first time able to follow a diet and not be hungry! The distance training works really well with Stephan's firm but reliable support and regular encouragement. Would highly recommend the Online training with Stephan.

Fantastic experience: The Personal Trainer that could motivate me enough to not give up. Recommend to anyone who wants to stay active and to do it in a pleasant way

Fantastic experience: Stephan's calm and confident instruction plus his carefully targeted program of stretch and strengthening exercises have given this grandad a new lease of life. Repeated strains and injuries of the past replaced by a renewed confidence that I can remain active without fear. Stephan is a pleasure to work with and thoroughly deserves my recommendation.

Fantastic experience: Never was a gym/exercise person. Recently I met Stephan and it has been a very pleasant and productive experience. Recommend to anyone, even if you think it is not for you.
