Over the time, I have dropped from a VERY tight size 20 jeans to a comfortable 16. I've just bought the 14 ready for the summer. But more importantly I just feel a whole lot better. My energy and concentration levels have increased enormously, I sleep well, I look after my nutrition, I run about in the park with the kids, and can now run 10k. I still wouldn't say I look forward to the sessions, they are hard work, but I enjoy the feeling I get when I've done them."

2 months into the program we have made great progress, training sessions have been getting more and more advanced. There are certain aspects of my mobility that we have focused on and already we are starting to see real changes in so many aspects of my physicality that needed particular focus, including posture, core strength, glute activation, shoulder stability. The benefits of this approach are absolutely proven already, I have made significant progress

A bad car accident left me with a badly damaged hip joint, over time with the joint not working correctly, the muscles started to become unbalanced causing me a lot of pain and restricted my movement. The hip also impacted on the opposite knee which needed surgery, both the hip and knee were successfully rehabilitated by Russ to give me the strength and stability back post surgery

I was suffering with daily neck pain and numbness on my fingers as well as lower back pain. I was offered steroid treatment to my back. That made me do the best decision in my life: appointment with personal trainer. First, I had appointment once a week, and Russell was working carefully in cooperation with my physiotherapist. Soon I was training with Russell three times a week. I had forgotten the initial reason why I had made my first appointment, training with Russell had gone to the next level. I had never felt as strong, balanced and healthy.

As a keen amateur horse rider, having a strong core, strength and balance in equal measures is very important. I have worked with Russ over many years in the fitness industry and when I realised I had fallen out of love with the gym and needed some motivating, Russ was the first person I turned to. He helped me work on different aspects of my fitness to help me feel more confident, stronger and fitter to achieve my riding and personal health goals. His sessions are tailored to you and his knowledge in all aspects of health, nutrition and fitness is extensive. If you need motivating to achieve your goals, then definitey speak to Russ at Orbis Fitness

After taking up running a few years ago I finally decided to attempt a Marathon. I decided to enlist the help of Russ as he seemed to really know his onions. He put together a detailed training plan which included both runs of different lengths and sessions in the gym to work on my technique and posture. The last piece of the jigsaw, and an aspect which is perhaps easiest to forget, is that Russ provided psychological advice to help me prepare mentally for the long road ahead. In short I believe he played a pivotal role in my achievement and his contributions probably explain why my eventual time was so much better than I could ever have imagined before starting out

It is important that you feel comfortable with your personal trainer. With Russell I always felt that we are playing in the same team. Every appointment was different so you could not get bored repeating same routine over and over again. I got lots of positive energey from the enthusiasm and commitment that Russell has toward his profession and customers. I've moved back to my home country but keep in contact with Russell and try to visit his gym when seeing friends back in the UK, I'm not able to train myself due to the great techniques Russell taught me, I miss the guidance and I miss the one to one appointments.

Before joining Orbis Fitness I used to "never have time" or "be too busy" to find time for myself whether it being eating properly, or exercising. Russ taught me how to use my time wisely to fit my exercise and eating plans around a busy family and work schedule. In a short time with Russ's help and advice I dropped a dress size, also for the first time in my life felt toned. I was highly impressed by how he incorporated my exercise preferences into the training. Russ taught me that it's the little things and the little changes that matter, and I cannot recommend a better person to train with!

When lockdown was announced, Russ was able to switch immediately to remote sessions and these have worked really well. We’ve actually managed to fit in more training sessions because we don’t need to travel. The sessions have been very tailored and Rob has seen and felt how it is making a difference to his mobility. Despite the lack of equipment available compared to at the studio, the sessions have been varied and no two have been the same. Russ has done a good job in keeping an eye on positions and movements so that he is able to offer corrections and coaching tips as we go along. We’ve both really enjoyed the sessions and are extremely glad to keep training during lockdown.

Rob & Sam

We approached Russ a couple of years ago about training sessions for my husband and two sons (now aged 10 and 13). We were mindful that they will most likely want to start going to the gym and building muscle in a few years time and wanted them to approach this sensibly by being well informed before the time comes. Russ has been patient and encouraged them to push a bit further and try new things. He’s introduced exercises that will benefit their football, running and swimming. We’ve had a good balance of flexibility, strength and cardio work. Our 10 year old describes the sessions as fun, difficult but not too difficult, and with lots of animal movements!

Sam

Russ really helped me get through some tough COVID months and back on a good path toward fitness and wellness. Not only is Russ an extremely knowledgeable and passionate trainer, but he also took the time to get to know me as a person to help me get the most out of my training, to try to work on my eating habits, and even to manage my stress. Russ was able to push me when I needed to be pushed, but also knew when and how to encourage me (or occasionally to go easier on me) when he could tell I really was struggling, either physically or mentally. Russ always worked around my very inconsistent schedule to make sure we got my sessions in, which I appreciated so much.

Russell is particularly good at tailoring training sessions according to my specific wants and needs which has helped me to achieve progress that I would struggle to achieve on my own. He has an extremely diverse knowledge base and he always keeps our sessions varied. This not only keeps sessions fun and prevents me from getting bored but again also accelerates my progress.  The tailored recommendations he gives are useful and realistic which allows me to stay on track and meet my long-term goals. I would highly recommend training with him - whatever your skill level,  whether you want to meet personal fitness goals or gain more confidence doing a variety of exercises.
