| RAFFAEL
Raffael weighed over 23st before he joined the gym and was concerned about the impact it was having on his health.

By following Dom’s expert advice and with hard work and determination, Tracey has transformed her body shape.
She succeeded in increasing her strength and stamina levels and now works as a Firefighter.

| TERRY
Terry started training 14 years ago and has seen a weight loss of over 10st. He received continued support and encouragement from Dominic throughout that time.
Losing weight can be tough mentally as well as physically.
Dominic has been there to help Terry get through the bad as well as the good times.

| AJAY
Ajay has always had a passion for training in a gym but lacked the confidence to do so.
Being 8st and a vegetarian he had been told he wouldn’t be able to build muscle.
Dom’s structured training regime has seen him gain strength, lift more than he could ever have imagined and finally achieve that muscle gain!
| Lisa
At 45, Lisa manages a busy property portfolio and once relied on endless cardio that left her exhausted and unhappy with her shape. Since starting training, she has completely transformed her body, built real strength, and overcome severe sciatica within weeks of returning to the gym after having children.
With honest coaching, accountability, and a supportive gym environment, Lisa has become stronger, more confident, and proof that the right training can change both your body and mindset.
| JEZ
Jez’s story highlights the power of trusted professional collaboration. By working closely with another experienced specialist, clients benefit from joined-up support that helps resolve injuries, protect their progress, and get them back to training safely and quickly.
Through clear communication, shared trust, and proven results, the partnership has improved outcomes for clients and even helped Jez overcome an eight-year knee injury, making a real difference to both performance and quality of life.
| DOM
With 44 years of training experience, 34 years of professional coaching, powerlifting success, and three world champions coached, Dom brings a level of expertise that cuts through today’s fitness noise.
His message is simple but powerful: real results do not come from internet trends, shortcuts, or excuses. They come from the fundamentals that have always worked — eating well, moving more, sleeping properly, training hard, and staying consistent. Dom’s no-nonsense approach challenges people to stop lying to themselves and start doing the work that creates lasting change.
| JULIE
After years of cardio-focused training, Julie felt frustrated with her strength, shape, and energy levels. Since working with Dom, she has become stronger, more toned, and more confident, lifting weights she once thought impossible while her clothes now fit better than ever.
Living with Crohn’s disease, Julie also gained the guidance she needed around nutrition, training, sleep, and lifestyle to improve her energy and push herself safely. Her only regret is not starting sooner — proof that with the right coaching, commitment, and honesty, real transformation is possible.
| EDWINA
Approaching 60, Edwina knew she needed to take action after realising she was losing strength in everyday life. Since starting her training journey, she has become stronger than ever and can now deadlift an incredible 132kg.
As a GP and sports/remedial massage therapist, Edwina understands the importance of staying strong, mobile, and healthy with age. Her story proves that it is never too late to build strength, improve fitness, and feel capable again with the right coaching, consistency, and determination.
| TANVEER
Tanveer started training to build the resilience, stamina, and physical strength needed to manage the long hours of a demanding profession. Since beginning his journey, he has noticed a major improvement in his energy, recovery, and ability to get through work without feeling as tired.
With a personalised training approach, structured programmes, and nutritional guidance, Tanveer has been able to train smarter and push towards his full potential. His story shows the value of expert coaching tailored to the individual — and why choosing the right trainer makes all the difference.
| RICHARD
