Thinking back, what was the problem you needed to solve when you contacted Craig?

I needed to commit to working out at the gym regularly as, apart from walking it is the only exercise I do.

Also, I wanted to make sure I didn’t lose muscle as I get older. 

What do you feel you’ve achieved during your time working with Craig?

I am still alive!

Because of the personal program Craig has devised for me, attending the gym is part of my weekly routine so I don’t even have to think about making an effort to go.

I can also see my progress as I am using heavier weights and managing a higher number of reps.

I have a great sense of achievement when I finish my workout and an all round sense of well-being.

What’s different in your life today compared to before you started working with Craig?

I feel healthier, stronger and have more energy.

I also know that what I am achieving is good for my long term health. 

If you had to pick one thing, what would be your highlight so far? Which thing are you most pleased about?

Using heavier weights!

Craig’s approach encourages you to try heavier weights by doing only a couple of reps to start with which gives you confidence to just go for another extra one and before you know it you can manage a respectable number.  

How has Craig helped you solve your problem? What do you particularly like about his approach and delivery?

Craig devises 3 different but similar programmes for me so I’m not doing the same workout each time I go to the gym which would be boring.

I have new programmes after a set number of weeks which is also good to keep me motivated.

Craig is always positive and encouraging.

He is excellent at explaining the specific exercise’s benefits and checks my technique.

If there is something I really don’t like doing (you know what I’m talking about Craig!) I know he would change it but somehow I always end up persevering and it stays part of my plan!

We also have a giggle. 

What are your health and fitness goals from this point onwards? Are they any different to before you started working with Craig?

To continue to do what I’m doing as I enjoy it and it must be good for my health! 

If someone was to ask you your thoughts about working with Craig, what would you say?

Craig makes sure what you are doing is specifically tailored to your needs but it is also surprisingly enjoyable.
