Christian Bolton
CEO
"I never managed to visit the gym regularly for longer than 6 months, then I joined Mission Fitness and I've now been going several times a week for nearly 4 years. My fitness has been transformed and the gym is something I still look forward to!
A key part of turning it around for me has been having a personal trainer to introduce new disciplines like strongman and powerlifting and keep my program changing to keep it interesting. I can't recommend it enough."
Bradley Townsend
Pro Boxer
"Since working with Graham, I've seen all aspects of my fitness increase dramatically, especially my strength. He's helped to create individualized training programmes to help me improve my endurance, strength, explosive power and agility with transition into boxing.
He regularly keeps track daily using an up to date application to monitor myself and my progress."
Lindsay Timms
Ultra Marathon Runner
"Your personal training has been brilliant. I started out with you still recovering from injury, and feeling really down and wondering if I would ever run again. Having the sessions booked in has given me the push I needed.
All the sessions have been really varied and interesting, so it's not felt at all like a chore. Once I decided it might be possible to run in an event again you tailored all the training to my event, which was really instrumental in getting me through it.
Your training has really got me back to feeling like myself again, and I plan to carry on with regular sessions to maintain that."
