gym and personal training

Rachael Arrivabene

Russell Knight was recommended to me by a friend who had had personal training sessions with him and achieved excellent results. At the point of contacting Russell, I was not exercising at all. After having two children found myself to be overweight and unfit. Clothes shopping was an unhappy, nightmare experience. Often resulting in my not wanting to go on nights out with friends and swimming was avoided at all costs!!

Russell and I discussed what I wanted to achieve from our sessions. He took in to account my lifestyle and planned sessions with me that were enjoyable. He offered encouragement and challenged me when required.

When I first started personal training sessions, I disliked running and actually was so unfit that I couldn’t run for more than a minute or two. Last week I signed up for the Bristol Half Marathon. Something I never imagined doing. It’s going to be one of my biggest achievements and there is no way I’d be doing it if it wasn’t for my personal training sessions with Russell.

I have continued my sessions for two years and am still improving my fitness every single week. I no longer need to lose weight. Clothes shopping is no longer a source of misery and I’m very much looking forward to my summer holiday (and bikini) this year!

I genuinely couldn’t recommend anybody higher than Russell.
