"My body fat has reduced from a podgy 23% to a leaner 15%. Furthermore I feel more confident and committed to lose more. I would recommend Andy Wolstenholme as a Personal Trainer as he not only "talks the talk" but also "walks the walk".

Testimonials for Andy Wolstenholme
"My goal was to lose 2 stone in weight and I thought I could achieve this alone, but I was struggling so I looked to Andy for guidance. Andy set me a rigorous but achievable workout program which I would undertake at least 3 times a week in addition to the hourly session I have with Andy every week.
By following Andy's workout programs which change each session and following Andy's specific, tailored diet plan diet plan for me, I had lost a stone in just 3 weeks. Since training with Andy my weight has dropped from 100kg to 79kg, over 3 stone in total. It was hard work but well worth it, and as well as looking better, I feel fitter and healthier than ever before. Andy is an excellent Personal Trainer, and his results speak for themselves. His knowledge of exercise, nutrition, as well as his drive and determination to help you succeed are second to none. I would highly recommend Andy Wolstenholme to anyone who wants to improve their health, fitness and physique for the better."
Thanks Andy

"Andy has helped me liven up my workouts, which had got very stale with me repeating the same old exercises every week. Andy's huge knowledge of exercises have challenged my body with movements and workouts I thought I would never have been able to do. As well as improving my overall fitness levels, Andy has also helped improve my balance, posture and muscle tone, as well as reducing my overall body fat levels. I enjoy mountain walking and my sessions with Andy have helped to improve my performance in this area. I now have new workouts to boost my stamina and and increase my leg strength and flexibility. Andy has also massively improved my upper body strength to help with my climbing by teaching me how to do proper pull-ups and press ups. Andy is a great Personal Trainer and I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone."

"Over the past few months Andy's total dedication to getting the job done has enabled me to achieve my goals of fitness and weight loss. He has consistently encouraged me and motivated me to do my best at every session and so achieving maximum results. His knowledge of anatomy, physiology and nutrition have been inspirational so not only have I enjoyed each session, I have also increased my own understanding and knowledge. Thank you Andy!"

"At age 58 I have been exercising for 30 + years and I am extremely fit, so what did I want with a personal trainer? However, I had always been disappointed with my lack of "abs" and then I read Andy's monthly newsletter. I was impressed by his depth and variety of knowledge, so I booked a session to get advice on "ab creation". I now have sessions with Andy where he changes my schedule to keep me on my toes, and he doesn't finish the session until he is sure I am exercising correctly with good, solid technique. Andy also provides me with copies of our workouts as an "aide-memoire" to follow by myself. Andy has been concentrating on my core strength and I am developing my "abs" mind you, its always a laugh a minute with regards to my balance! I was correct, Andy has a wide knowledge and he could motivate a paper bag. He is also pleasant, friendly and interested too. I thoroughly recommend Andy to anyone starting out with exercise or anyone who needs a bit more motivation and advice on their health and fitness."

"I have been training with Andy since April. So far I have lost 18 pounds and my fitness has increased tremendously. I now also have so much more energy, confidence and determination. I really enjoy the boxing warm ups and learning progressively harder exercises. I have learnt new, more effective exercises such as the dreaded deadlift, and how to get the best use out of the medicine and stability balls. Andy has also helped to improve my diet and made suggestions of alternative foods through the use of a food diary which I kept. I now persevere with even the hardest exercises with Andy's encouragement to ensure that I will reach my target. Thanks Andy!"

The Kettlebell Experience
"When I started training with Andy at the beginning of the year I had never heard of kettlebells. Then one weekend, Andy was unable to book any sessions because he was away on kettlebell training, but he assured me that the sessions would be "even more fun" (I quote directly) when he got back.
The following week I found out what a kettlebell was and I have been using them in sessions with Andy ever since. Kettlebells look like some kind of medieval instrument of torture and it is truly amazing how many different types of exercises they can be used for. At first using one was very alarming because I was convinced that it would fly out of my hand, but that hasn't happened (yet!)
Andy is very, very enthusiastic about kettlebells and that enthusiasm does get passed on. The main thing about them is that they work BRILLIANTLY. I have lost weight and gone down a dress size which is all to the good.
I have gone from not knowing about them to being a fan. Kettlebell training with Andy Wolstenholme is varied, brilliant, exhausting, always challenging, fun and is highly recommended."

"I had surgery on my shoulder in January of this year, and despite having physiotherapy I was still getting pain in the joint during exercise. I decided to see if a Personal Trainer could help and so I approached Andy. We had a free consultation where we discussed my problems and my goals, and after this I decided to do some training with Andy straight away. The difference to my fitness has been amazing and after only 4 weeks I had no pain in my shoulder. Because my training sessions have been so successful I intend to carry on my training with Andy in order to keep my shoulder flexible and stay as fit as possible."

"I was approached by Andy whilst I wheezed away on the treadmill during another fruitless self-styled gym workout. He seemed interested and enthusiastic in helping me with my aim of losing weight and toning up, so I took Andy up on a free consultation. It came just at the right time as I had just had a cholesterol test which showed things were heading towards the abnormal range. On the night before our consultation, Andy phoned as promised to remind me, which I think showed his commitment. I was a bit nervous when we started the consultation, but his kind manner put me at ease. He took the time to find out what I wanted to achieve and was sensitive to my embarrassment about my body fat. After listening to Andy's plans to get me into shape we arranged a program consisting of 10 sessions. Andy always called me the night before a session to see how I was and tell me about the workout he had in store for me the next day. He also introduced me to the stress relieving properties of boxing. Andy showed me lots of exercises which I could do even without gym equipment, so I could replicate some of the workout at home. Each week he would push me until the words "now get to 18" started to resound in my head!! He seemed to enjoy my mutterings when I would liken him to a fascist dictator in the vain hope that he would ease up, but it only pandered to his "dark side" and made him push me even more!! Well I must say the I reaped the results. My body fat has reduced from a podgy 23% to a leaner 15%. Furthermore I feel more confident and committed to lose more, I would recommend Andy Wolstenholme as a Personal Trainer as he not only "talks the talk" but also "walks the walk". He has offered me a free re-measure in 3 weeks time. Lets see whether I meet "kind Andy" or his "dark side"!"
