Welcome to Tony’s Personal Training! If you're looking to improve your fitness, lose weight, or boost your athletic performance, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Whether you prefer 1-1 personal training or small group sessions, I offer bespoke workouts designed to meet your unique goals. As a highly experienced mobile trainer, I bring all the equipment to you, whether at home, work, or outdoors.

Having been awarded The Best Personal Trainer in Bath 2024 at the Quality Business Awards, I’m proud of the results I’ve achieved for my clients and the reputation I’ve built for providing effective, personalised fitness solutions. My background as a professional athlete has given me invaluable experience and insight, which I now use to help clients at all levels of fitness, from beginners to seasoned athletes.

My Journey and Expertise

As a former international rower, I represented Great Britain and earned medals at the Commonwealth Games and Henley Regatta. I’m also a World Champion Indoor Rower and the current World Indoor Rowing 100,000-metre team relay record holder (2004). With a personal best of 5 minutes and 56 seconds for the 2000m row, I understand the dedication it takes to achieve peak performance.

In 2020, I won gold in the British Virtual Online Rowing Championships in the 50-54 age category with a time of 6 minutes 19 seconds. My next goal is to compete in indoor rowing events, with a focus on British and World Indoor Championships in the coming years.

What I Offer:

1-1 Personal Training: Bespoke workouts tailored to your fitness level and goals.

Group Training (up to 8 people): Fun, motivating group sessions to help you get fit with friends or colleagues.

Nutritional Advice: Expert guidance on healthy eating, weight loss, and how to fuel your body effectively.

Body Composition Testing: To understand your body type and adjust your fitness plan accordingly.

Flexible Training Locations: Sessions can be held at your home, workplace, gym, park, or garden. I bring all the necessary fitness equipment to you.

Nutrition and Wellness Expertise

With a BSc in Sports Sciences and PE, as well as over 20 years of experience, I have an in-depth understanding of nutrition tailored to different lifestyles and activity levels. I focus on educating clients about the dangers of sugar, artificial sweeteners, processed foods, and preservatives. Instead, I advocate for natural, organic foods that nourish the body and support your fitness goals.

I believe in the power of intermittent fasting, a flexitarian diet, and consuming nutrient-dense, organic foods to optimise performance and gut health. Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, or omnivorous, I can help you create a food plan that works for you. I also educate my clients on the importance of sourcing locally grown organic vegetables, free-range meats, dairy-free alternatives, and responsibly sourced wild fish and game.

Training Specialisations:

Strength & Conditioning: Focused on improving strength, endurance, and athletic performance.

Fat Loss & Body Toning: Specialised training to help you lose fat, gain muscle tone, and improve body composition.

Mobility & Flexibility: Incorporating stretching, foam rolling, and mobility drills for better movement and injury prevention.

HIIT & Cardio Training: High-intensity interval training, low-intensity steady-state cardio, and plyometric drills to enhance cardiovascular fitness.
