Reviews From My Clients
Health and fitness mean something different to every athlete, a faster sprint time, a new PB, greater power output, improved mobility, or sharper competition readiness. Through Elite Athlete Training in Plymouth, I help you build the strength, speed and resilience needed to reach your performance goals and compete at your best.
As a competitive national swimmer, I needed a strength and conditioning coach to help me increase my power and speed and ultimately swim faster. I was introduced to Laurence through a friend who had previously worked with him to overcome a shoulder injury. From our first meeting I realised that I had much to work on and trusted Laurence with the task in hand. Training sessions are challenging but also rewarding as you see the progress you are making. Laurence is committed and dedicated to help you reach your goals. Nothing is too much trouble for him to help get his athletes and clients to achieve their best.
I started training with Laurence back in 2014 for two sessions a week. I have not met anyone as knowledgeable when it comes to training and his attention to detail to help fix the mobility problems that I had due to my work. Working is most enjoyable with Laurence and the sessions are specific to reach the desired outcome. I have achieved so much under Laurence’s guidance and tuition and would recommend him to anyone wanting to become fitter, more mobile and, stronger.
Training with Laurence helped me to achieve my weight loss goal of shedding four stone in time for my wedding, he made every training session challenging and different and in turn helped me achieve fitness goals I never thought possible like Olympic lifts and a bench press of 135kg.
Laurence is a thoroughly professional and dedicated trainer. He takes time to get to know you as a person as well as a client, and he believes in you when you’re ready to give up on yourself. Thanks to Laurence and his unwavering belief in me, I can now squat over 100kg and deadlift 80kg. Working with Laurence is a fantastic experience.
‘Laurence has been my personal trainer for the last 10 years. We first met when I was preparing for my 6th London Marathon. I had sustained an ankle injury but with Laurence’s expertise, I was able to recover sufficiently and complete my challenge. I would certainly recommend Laurence as your new personal trainer. You will find him attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He will change your life for the better’.
I have worked with a few different personal trainers over the years, and I can honestly say none of them match up to Laurence in terms of dedication, expertise, planning, and skillset. I was carrying too much weight and not very fit. Laurence explains what he wants in simple terms. Never ducks a question and his choice and variety of exercises to help you become fitter and stronger are excellent. Laurence is easy to get along with and training sessions are enjoyable and productive.
