Coach Kristaps

I've recently finished 20 sessions with Kristaps and I've never been in better shape my entire life. He made sure to teach me the correct techniques for all exercises covered so I could go away and keep training. He's incredibly motivating during the sessions and pushed me through the blocks when I would have given up training alone. I'm more confident with my own ability now and cannot wait to keep training.

I am 56 years of age and thought I had a good fitness level and lifting technique for my age. I started training initially 2 days a week doing Kristaps barbell sessions in Leicester. I very quickly learnt that I was not only lacking basic techniques but lacking flexibility and movement patterns that help prevent injuries. Over the past 3 months I have trained using 8 week training plan based over a 5 day week. This was not just based on what kristaps thought I required but he also took into account my thoughts and goals. The plans are very personal to my overall goals and needs. Kristaps not only has an incredible knowledge and experience in all areas of Olympic lifting he also combines well general aerobic fitness to compliment the strength programme. kristaps takes a real keen interest in my progress and even when you think he is not watching he is there offering advise on refining the movements being done. I cannot recommend Kristaps enough whether you need one to one PT session or a personal programme totally designed around the individual. Kristaps is always at the end of the phone to support and advise. The progress I have made in all areas of my fitness have been well past my expectations having Kristaps over looking my progress I may be 56 but feel stronger fitter and more confident in myself than I was in my 20s and this is totally down to having Kristaps there giving incredible support and working on all my strength and weaknesses Thanks again Kristaps as we move on in my fitness journey

I've being coming to Kristaps for help with my weightlifting for just under a year and I am blown away by the progression I have made. I came to him having done lifts in CrossFit for a number of years, barely making any progression and within months of his coaching, I was recording PB's weekly - something I'd never have thought was possible. He not only helps with my lifting, but any injuries or niggles I have, he is always on hand with exercises or physio to help ease the physical discomfort. I'm incredibly grateful to Kris for all he has taught me, I make the journey from Newark to Leicester twice a week just for his coaching. Cannot recommend him enough x

Hearing from others about his knowledge and expertise was initially what drew me to Kris coaching. There was so much attention to detail to mistakes I was making initially which really excelled my weightlifting with confidence. As a coach myself this helped me to learn more too. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to improve their performance. Thankyou Kris!!

Been working with other 'well-educated' coaches, but nothing can be compared with the experience. Kristaps, by working with people ranging from athletes to causal individuals, developed the skills and the understanding of human anatomy to an extent that's rare to find. By having a brilliant idea of body mechanics, he gives a precise judgment of what your weaknesses are, what you're good at and objectively speaks about what's to improve. As his client, you will be getting a professionally written program, individualized only to your needs (not copy/paste) I've been resistant to listen, but whatever he said (incl. food requirements based on his program), was more than accurate. Lastly, a good coach gives you a good training plan, but an outstanding one cares about your mental side too. This is what he does: -a massive sense of support, -full engagement -faith like not a lot of coaches nowadays especially, when it comes to comps->always there! He doesn't look at you only as a client $$$ but as a person. Truly encourage!!
