Rik Fitness

I have been working weekly with Rik since late 2021 and I have noticed a huge difference in my overall fitness but mainly with my running. Since starting with Rik I have knocked over 2 minutes off my 5K PB, 4 minutes off my 10K PB and around 10 minutes off my half marathon PB! He is flexible with his sessions to suit my preferences and even offers to help pace me for runs outside of our agreed hours. He is super friendly and encouraging for all abilities!

Ive been training with Rik since January 2020 with a goal to get fitter and lose weight in general, then in preparation for my wedding. He has kept up my motivation throughout the whole pandemic, quickly switching to video calls for my 121 PT sessions. Ive so far lost 1.92 stone (27lb or 12.1kg) and am very close to my goal weight. He has advised me on diet, which has been key and adapts my session when I have migraines or general injuries. We have regular weigh in sessions on scales that give you much more than weight, we now track my body age, muscle mass, bone density and fat. Rik is friendly, approachable and very knowledgeable. Also a great motivator on my lazy days! I now also attend his group sessions and have been running with him, the aim being to become a regular runner again. I highly recommend him for sorting out your lifestyle and training issues, especially for brides to be!

My 16 year old daughter needed help to pass a fitness assessment to join the army. Having come out of lock down with little fitness and only 3 months to prepare and achieve a high bleep test score Rik planned her training meticulously and trained her 2/3 times a week. Rik knows his stuff! Not only did she pass her bleep test, on the day she achieved well over what was needed. Thank you Rik

Rik is an excellent fitness instructor, he really takes the time to make sure that you do excercises correctly, explains why they are important, what impact it has on your body and makes sure you take care of yourself. If you're after a fitness coach then I'd highly recommend Rik as a friendly and professional coach.

I always thought that personal trainers were for the fit and the thin so I was a little nervous to start my training being unfit and overweight. There was no need to be! My training with Rik has been the best thing Ive done to help me in my weight loss/running journey. He works hard to ensure that each session is challenging and fun yet leaves you with a real sense of achievement. The improvement I have made in fitness and strength is really beginning to impact not only on my running but on everyday life too. Rik is incredibly supportive and motivating and he really wants you to achieve your goals. I would definitely recommend him if you are looking for a personal trainer.
