"I started training with Ryan in March 09 and have now been training three times a week for four months. Over that time my level of fitness has improved dramatically and I feel so much better in myself. I have also lost over two and a half stone in weight with a combination of diet and exercise. Ryan carries out a meticulous initial assessment and tailors the training regimen very carefully to each clients needs. I have also been impressed with his regular monthly reviews of progress including assessments of weight, measurements, body fat, fitness, blood pressure etc. Ryan is a great motivator and gets the best out of his clients when working in the gym. I always feel that we are pushing the boundaries - but as Ryan says - "that's when the magic happens!" If you want to improve your level of fitness, whatever your present level, I would strongly recommend you give Ryan Phillips a call."

"I have been working with Ryan since Jan 06 with the aim of improving my overall fitness and losing weight. The tailored approach to training that Ryan uses has significantly increased my fitness levels, helping me to achieve far more than I would have thought possible in this amount of time. As a result I have not only lost weight but can see my shape changing too. Ryan has really helped me to stay motivated and keep on track when the going gets tough and the will starts to wobble. I really appreciate his practical approach - no gimmicks here; a sensible diet and tailored training programme for lasting results. He has managed one miracle though - as a once committed gym phobic I'm now a gym regular and enjoy it! All this and he's a nice guy too - what more could you ask for?!" Helen Aylen - Reading

"I have been using Ryan as a personal trainer for just over 6 months and it has made an enormous difference! He is an excellent motivator without being a bully! He has an in depth knowledge of anatomy and physiology and, as a result, is able to provide well focussed and realistic training schedules which yield rapid and sustainable results. In my time training with Ryan I have lost a considerable amount of weight, become significantly stronger and my general fitness has improved enormously. I would whole-heartedly recommend Ryan as a friendly but professional personal trainer!" Michael Palfrey - Pangbourne

"I have been working with Ryan for nearly 4 months; initially he spent time assessing my fitness and general health in order to devise an achievable and progressive fitness plan that suited me needs and aims.

During these 4 months I have learnt that Ryan has an extensive knowledge of not only physical training but also anatomy, physiology and nutrition and this knowledge has helped me to achieve the improvements that I have noticed not only in my stamina, but also speed, strength and general health. This knowledge ensures a holistic approach to training that is safe, progressive and ultimately successful.

The fact that I am still attending training sessions twice a week is quite surprising to me and is testament to Ryan’s enthusiasm and motivational qualities. I can see the benefits of regular properly devised training and good nutrition in everyday life, much more energy generally, but also the improvement in my fitness and agility when playing tennis has improved my game immeasurably.

If you are looking to improve your general health and fitness or if you have a specific aim you wish to achieve then in my opinion, investing in Ryan's skills and knowledge is well worth it!" Penny Meadley – Southcote

"I've always played a lot of sport, but sitting at a desk for 3 years had definatly taking it's toll on my weight and fitness levels.  In January 2007 I decided to admit that this time I could do with some one to one help.  Although I still enjoy team sports, group activities and weight loss clubs had never helped me with my weight or fitness levels.  So through recommendations I contacted Ryan and set up a consultation.
 
Ryan really listened to what I wanted and needed and put me at ease, as well as filling me with confidence and determination that I could be fitter than ever and lose the weight I'd been piling on.  We set out realistic, though still challenging, goals and training times (we all have busy lives now days).  This was a really important stage for me as  was in the habit of setting myself unrealistic goals and then quickly becoming despondent and failing, I'm sure this sounds familiar to most of us!
 
Following a full fitness and health assessment, Ryan set out an interesting and varied training plan and program, spanning 4 weeks.  I stared to see results very quickly, as my statistics results showed improvement after just 4 weeks.  The Statistics session every 4 weeks (as well as a weekly weigh in) definatly kept me on my toes and kept my enthusiasm high as I saw the results each month.  Filling in Ryan's Food diary, when my weight loss hit a plateau, helped me kick start the weight loss again too (amazing how much sub-conscious chocolate you can eat!)
 
By the end of 2007 I had dropped almost two dress sizes, lost over a stone in weight and total 12 cm's, increased my fitness level by 16 heart beats per minute, reduced my body fat by 4% and most importantly felt healthy, happy and more confident (oh and nothing wobbled anymore!)
 
Overall it was the best investment I ever made (far better than spending money on a new outfit in a bigger size each month!)
 
Thanks Ryan!!" Joanne Winder - Reading
