Testimonials
I came to Chris with a huge amount of knots in my shoulders and back. His general maintenance sports massage worked wonders, getting them all out so I was back in working order. Annie Wright
Back in May I was having trouble with my knee. Chris is always my first go-to in such cases. He checked out a few things, gave me a couple of exercises to do and recommended I use Freedom Leisure gym in Cinderford. I really don’t like most gyms. I find them over powering. However, at Freedom Leisure I was greeted at the door by one of the very helpful volunteers who help out at the over 65s sessions. At the end of the week, I was taken through a routine by a personal trainer, which came with the fee of £3. Now I go regularly and actually enjoy it. The volunteers and the members are all friendly and say hello. Thank you to Chris for suggesting it. I would never have gone otherwise. It is all having a positive effect. If you are experiencing any pain or want to feel fitter, see Chris before anyone else. - Wendy Guilfoyle I went to see Chris about a month ago regarding a back problem that I had and also helps and tips to increase my fitness so that next year I will be able to take part in a Tough Mud Run. The advise he gave was brilliant and when going to train at his gym, he also helped me out with a shoulder injury that I had encountered earlier on in the week prior to my appointment. He is brilliant in everything he does and also at the moment is he working with my husband and daughter on their fitness and personal health - Natasha James When I first came across Adfitness I thought it sounded a great business but maybe not for me as I am not very sporty and certainly not planning on becoming an athlete. I was wrong - I am still not very sporty, but thanks to Chris I am starting to feel much fitter and many of my everyday aches and twinges have gone away. Chris has set up a specific program to suit myself and my 2 colleagues as ilateral, concentrating on the fact that we spend a large proportion of our daily work time sitting at desks. He has targeted muscles that get switched off and others that are working too hard, to help us improve our posture and general muscle strength. Chris's knowledge's of fitness, physiology and health is limitless. So if little aches and twinges are bothering you and you are feeling a bit sluggish, get in touch with Chris at Adfitness as he can help you feel better and teach you how to keep feeling better. Adfitness, for athletes and everyday folk. - Jacqui Gowman, Ilateral I started training with Chris 9 months ago, after losing 7 stone, I really needed to increase my very limited fitness level and seriously tone up. Embarking on this journey and losing fat, losing flab I never thought I'd enjoy a gain, but I did, I gained a very valuable allie. What I've achieved with support from Chris has been invaluable, using a mix of cardio, weights & boxercise, my overall strength and fitness has improved so much in such a short space of time, I'm now able to perform exercises and lift weights I'd never attempted on my own. I've learnt so much, Chris is very willing and open to share his knowledge and nutrition tips he also answers any and all questions I can come up with. Chris is energetic, fun, committed & professional. I can't recommend him enough. - Amanda A quality and fully qualified Personal Trainer.
