Chris Mears Health and Fitness

Chris helped me build my strength in order to play tennis again following a knee injury and surgery. I cant praise him enough for the massive difference he has made to my health and fitness. Thank you Chris

Following surgery to mend a meniscus tear in March 2022, I approached Chris for help with rehabilitation so that I could get back to playing tennis competitively. With his encouragement and focussed exercise programme, both in person (weekly) and online (daily) I now feel stronger and fitter than ever and am enjoying being back on court. His training sessions are always challenging and stretch me that little bit further. Chriss sense of humour comes to the fore as he encourages me to dig deep when I think Ive used up that last ounce of energy! Chris has a great depth of knowledge and experience and I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone looking to recover from injury and to improve their strength and fitness.

I have had the pleasure to train with Chris online and in person over the past 2 years. He completed transformed me as a person. Chris advice on nutrition is very simple to follow and effective, the body shape change is gradual, enjoyable and sustainable. The training plan is tailored to my goal. I ran up to 50k per week throughout these 2 years without a single injury all tiny niggles were managed immediately. Highly recommend Chris if you are in Loughborough or beyond. I live in London, remote completely training completely worked!

Being coached by Chris is a huge pleasure and will give you a sense of reward you may not have expected. Coach is a broad term. It means he is part teacher, part planner, part encourager, part niggle manager and physio, part nutritionist, and part angel always sat on your shoulder helping you make good decisions. For anyone who has spent time exercising Chris will elevate whatever you are doing and help you achieve a goal you thought was unattainable. He will help you train smarter, making better use of the time you spend exercising, and helping you to focus on the parts of you that need the most attention. I now see that there is little point in doing the same old exercises at the gym or the same old runs if they arent part of a focused plan. For me this meant building and executing a training plan to get a half marathon PB, with lots of injury prevention and management included. Chris is a great guy to be around and I couldnt recommend his coaching more.

I reached out to Chris in the September of 2020. I had sustained a shoulder injury whilst at the gym in the January which was completely debilitating. I was used to training 5-6 times per week and loved every minute of it, so sustaining an injury like that was the end of the world to me. I tried physio therapy, acupuncture, NHS physio, and sports massage but nothing worked. I happened across one of Chris's posts on FB whilst we were in lock down and just happened to ask if he could help me with a poorly shoulder. His response was instant and he offered me some free advice, alongside some exercises that might help. This gave me every confidence in Chris's genuine nature. I booked an online consultation with him and met him face to face on Zoom. Chris started me off with some exercises to support and stabilise my shoulder as well as exercises for the rest of my more able body. At last I felt like I was getting somewhere and that I had someone I could trust. I decided to engage Chris as a personal trainer and I haven't looked back. I am able to chest press, shoulder press, bench press, TRX row and the list goes on and the weights I lift are something to be proud of too. My shoulder injury is a thing of the past and does not give me any issues and as well as that, Chris's personal training services are brilliant. He really understands the body's physiology and sets training programmes to suit my body's ability. They are super easy to access on an app on my phone, throughout the week, and we meet up once a week too. Alongside that, Chris monitors my nutrition and I know how many calories I should be eating a day to maintain my weight or lose a bit if I want to. During lockdown, Chris created some great 'get started' on line courses that everyone can access from around 1 a day. I have tried the 21 day Move Well Challenge. It really helps establish the foundations if you are just getting back into your fitness. Chris really has thought of everything. Thanks Chris, it has been an amazing journey so far and I am looking forward to seeing what we can go on to achieve.
