Read what our clients have to say about us:
'My 'thing' is endurance events. Having spent some years competing in long distance (Ironman) triathlon, I began to recognise that my running stamina was good so recently I have been focussing on ultra-marathon running. This is at odds with my desire to retain upper body strength which is easily lost doing the amount of cardiovascular exercise that ultra's entail. That's where James comes in.
I started PT with a view to breaking through a fitness ceiling that I seemed to have hit. My goal was to push the limits of my endurance capacity without the loss of upper body strength. James has assisted in this process.
Without doubt he is the best personal trainer I have worked with. He's passionate about it and is much more knowledgeable than your average PT with an excellent understanding of the 'other' disciplines of rest/recovery and nutrition.
James is a perfectionist and will not allow laziness in technique to creep in. He also works you hard - the main reason I see James is to push my limits outside my comfort zone and he certainly does this! As far as I'm concerned that's the only way to go but I'm sure he has a gentle side as well!
I enjoy working with James - his knowledge of the physical makes for good debates on latest techniques/fads etc. He also delivers results - my performances and strength have improved radically.'
Archie Cowan.
"I started training with James at the beginning of the year and despite the pain, the sweat and the aches which follow most weeks, I find each session utterly absorbing and the hour has gone before I know it.
I'm stronger, fitter and feel better in my every day health thanks to not only his knowledge of the human body, but also his wealth of information on diet and general well-being. I couldn't recommend him highly enough."
Laura Cotterill.
"I joined the Phoenix Performance Centre a year ago because I’d had a knee operation, I was told that a knee
replacement was the next step and I was also very over weight. Since then, with James Saunders monitoring not only
my weight but physical wellbeing, I have lost over 3 stone and my overall fitness has improved.
I no longer have any trouble with my knee and can do things I have not been able to do for years.
I would recommend Personal Training at Phoenix to everyone, whether they want to get fit or to lose weight.
I am still continuing to lose weight and improve my fitness levels. I have not felt this good for years."
Barbara Parker
I am an 18 year old student and I decided to take up PT with Scott a year ago. During this time I have achieved a huge reduction in my weight which has boosted my confidence immensely. In addition, my strength and muscle tone has dramatically improved which has boosted my confidence further.
Scott is very knowledgeable both on the physical side and the nutritional side and is always suggesting new ways to help boost weight loss and build muscle. Along-side this, Scott also provides amazing supplement advice which has provided an awesome package for building muscle and losing weight!
I can honestly say that I am still very motivated and I endeavour to continue seeing Scott for a long time yet. I am a totally different person to who I was before and I have never felt so alive.
Jack Berrill – Full time student
When I started working with Scott I was suffering from M.E and the nightmare that goes with this condition. I chose to use exercise to get through but had to be careful not to make my situation worse. Once I had contacted Scott I knew I had made the right decision and had found someone who was going to be able to help me.
The first thing Scott did was to give me his time for a free no obligation meeting to talk about my goals and needs. Because of my condition this was not a short meeting and Scott never made me feel rushed. I decided to give personal training with him a go as I was so impressed after this meeting.
I'm glad I did - when we next met he had done mountains of preparation in his own time and had devised a personalised plan to build my strength and energy levels. I was blown away by the amount of thought and effort he had put into my programme.
One month on I had already seen an improvement in my energy levels to the extent I did not have to quit my job. Six months on I saw a marked increase in my fitness levels and posture. One year on and I'm able to exercise in the same way as anyone else and was able to join a local Bootcamp. Something that would have been impossible before working with Scott.
It was hard work but Scott kept me motivated, he was always honest and set out realistic goals and timescales. He advised me on nutrition and supplements and went above and beyond to help me and now ... Well I don't have. M.E anymore that's for sure! I have to watch my fatigue levels and I always will have to but without Scott I think I might have ended up bedridden the way I was going.
I can't recommend him highly enough for anyone who wants to meet a goal or target in general but especially to anyone suffering any type of fatigue or stress related condition.
Scott's dedication to the people he works with produces astounding results!
Katherine Plows - Child protection social worker.
After having two children, my weight started creeping up and I had not managed to shift the baby weight despite trying various diets. Until I got tired of it all
and realized I needed help to be fit and healthy not only for my kids and my career as a nurse but most of all for myself.
One of the nurses I used to work with recommended boomlife and there I met Scott Randall, a Personal Trainer. He was friendly and helpful from the very beginning. For someone like me who has not done much exercise in the past, Scott was very patient with giving me instructions regarding my healthy eating plans and my workout program that suits my lifestyle and my body.
Scott has a genuine concern with all his clients’ needs. He is also very knowledgeable and always keeps himself updated with the latest news regarding fitness and nutrition. I always look forward to my training sessions with Scott because it’s not only fun but he also makes sure that I'm doing the exercises properly in order to avoid any injuries. Scott always motivates me and keeps evaluating my goals and most of the time pushes me to my limit.
After 2 months of my training with Scott, my family, friends and colleagues noticed the difference in me. I don't only look good and feel great but I also have more energy and I have never been happier. You can really trust Scott with the customized workout program he gives his clients. It is guaranteed that he will get you in the shape you want. He is very good in what he does and the best trainer I've ever had!
Anabell Caverly - BSN-Registered Nurse. Neurological Centre. Haywards Heath
I am a 55 year old woman with a stressful job involving lots of long-distance travel to different time zones. I’ve been training with Scott for the last two months and have already seen some great results.
I don’t have a huge amount of weight to lose and I’ve always kept up a reasonable fitness regime but I wanted to turn some of that encroaching middle-aged
fat to lean muscle and to feel strong, toned and energetic again.
Scott has a structured approach based on extensive knowledge which allows you to see very clearly what you have achieved. He’s also got the ability to choose the approach which will allow his clients to understand what they’re doing and why – and to do it most effectively.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Scott as an excellent Personal Trainer. If you do as he asks in the gym and follow his guidance on diet you’ll get fantastic results.
