I had a Sports massage with the SHIFT team early this week. Following a tough weekend at the GB Rowing Trials was nice to come in, not only to have the massage but for a good chat at the same time. Overall brilliant experience. Great explanation of what and why certain things were being done....

I’ve tried going to the gym every decade of my adult life but it took reaching 50 plus and finding the right PT to make it happen. I don’t have huge fitness goals but having a weekly strength training 1-1 at Shift keeps me feeling energised, motivated and strong. It’s true that it’s never too late to get started! Throw in the Shift App with home work-outs, nutrition plans, plus top tips and encouragement from Steve and I can even say I enjoy it!

I am so pleased with the progress I have made since working with Steve. In January having turned 52 , I was overweight , had stopped enjoying exercise. I thought I would never regain the fitness and strength I enjoyed when I was younger. Three months into the programme I have lost over a stone , have far more energy , feel strong and much more positive. I have found a better work life balance and prioritise my health and fitness ( something I've not done for a few years ) . Steve's input , motivation and personalised programmes have helped me to enjoy exercise, break unhealthy eating habits and regain a more competitive mind set.

I've really enjoyed working with Steve, he took the time to understand my goals and what I wanted to get out of my fitness journey. Steve created a personalised plan that included strength training and nutrition, all I had to do was show up! As a result, my running and race performances have really improved!

We decided to sign up with Steve about 4 months ago, and it was the best fitness decision we've made: We had both been finding it more and more difficult to stick to exercise and training routines with work commitments and the creep of age. We contacted Steve and after our initial discussion and assessment, Steve put our plan together. We both had different outcomes from the training plan, but wanted to train together. Steve set achievable goals with a well constructed plan to take into account our various strengths and niggles. The steady progression and regular check ins and encouragement was and continues to be a really rewarding training relationship. Our fitness gains continue to improve and for full disclosure- I hated the gym, I now look forward to our gym sessions. The app and the communication are really helpful to stay on track. I would recommend Steve and Shift Fitness to anyone looking to make fitness improvements, staying fit or starting a fitness journey.
