"I was suffering some seriously tight hip flexors, historic rugby injuries, and a very flat left foot. He has tailored a program that has eliminated the aches and pains that went with these problems and taught me a new way to train. I had no idea what my body could actually do if I trained properly, it’s not a case of just working hard but doing the right exercises that are tailored to the individual. He has continued to study and learn the most up-to-date techniques which he applies sensibly to his clients. Thank you Chris for sorting me out and teaching me the proper way to look after my body."
