Why Use Us?
Statistics have shown that 75 % of people who exercise are not achieving the results they want………………but of the 25 % who are getting the results they want, 90 % of them are working with a personal trainer.
Alone almost everyone joining a gym or starting to exercise will fail to maintain what they start, the reason people don’t achieve their goals is that they don’t finish what they start.
To get you started I offer a free taster session which lasts from 30 to 40 minutes which should take place at the location you have chosen to exercise so I can assess the facilities available. We will discuss medical history, fitness experience, goals, and in-home vs in-gym training. We will perform several exercises to help me get an accurate idea of where you are and what type of program would be most appropriate to help you reach your goals.
One-to-one personal training is quite simply the safest and quickest means of achieving any health and fitness results. As your personal trainer, I will not only design and develop a personal fitness programme suited to your own particular goals and abilities, I’ll keep you motivated and focused throughout the course of your training.
As your fitness improves, I will constantly monitor your progress and adapt your programme to make sure you continue to train at the correct intensity along your path to increased levels of health and fitness.
Personal training has been proven to be the most successful way to improve general fitness, to lose weight, put on weight, recover from injuries, or prepare for particular sports events or competitions.
I will design a specific course of exercises based on flexibility, balance, cardiorespiratory, core, reactive, resistance, and speed agility and quickness training to ensure you achieve your personal goals in the shortest possible time, based upon your age, weight, sex, health and current fitness
Testimonials
" I have been training with Neil for several months now and would recommend his style of personal training to anyone. This is the first time I have ever used a personal trainer and wasn't sure what to expect, I have found Neil very knowledgeable and helpful with tailoring each training session to my personal needs.
He has started with building the basics to ensure that when we moved onto the harder training I had the right posture, stability and technique and able to develop my training sessions so I feel I am achieving something each week. I feel Neil has helped me no end and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone else."
Mrs M. Chapman Microbioligist
"Neil Kirtley was a disappointment the moment I met him. My wife had promised me a weekly session with a leotard clad leggy blonde. This was not to be.
Despite this initial let down, I have been delighted with the service that Neil has provided. On arrival at Scifit I had taken no voluntary exercise in eighteen years. After ten sessions with Neil over the course of three months I have lost 1.5 stone in weight, stopped smoking, and begun to enjoy physical activity again. Neil's approach is scientific, encouraging and friendly. And it works.
Since beginning regular sessions with Neil, I have felt physically fitter, my ongoing nagging lower back pain has almost disappeared, I feel (and apparently look) younger, and I look forward now to training sessions."

" I have no hesitation in recommending Neil Kirtley and his scientific approach to training to others. I have been training with Neil for around 6 months now and have seen some fantastic results, both physically and mentally.
This was not the first time that I had worked with an exercise professional however a recent job move meant that I was looking to find a competent trainer in the Tees Valley.
One of the advantages of working with Neil is that each session is tailored to your needs. Neil focuses on quality not quantity so that you get into the habit of exercising properly using correct techniques which means that you get much better results than you would flogging away on your own in a gym.
Combining this with Neil’s knowledge and encouragement I have been able to focus on key areas to improve my core conditioning, diet and stabilise nagging sports injuries. As a result of these efforts I have so far lost 12 kg and been able to regain much more mobility.
I'd like to take the opportunity to thank Neil for his help and effort and shall look forward to continuing to work with him."

" I have just completed the Ben Nevis Challenge May 2010 on behalf of the Alzheimer's society and was training with Neil prior to this event for three months. The results were amazing!
Neil tailored each session to my individual needs and got me into the habit of exercising properly using correct techniques. So at the end of the course, I got much better faster results than I would have by slaving away on my own in the local gym.
Neil’s specialised knowledge made it easy to focus on key areas to improve and strengthen my body core and conquer several minor sporting injuries! This resulted in a huge increase of my overall fitness and I was able to regain much more mobility, strength and endurance - which made climbing 4,408 feet easily achievable! I would like to recommend Neil Kirtley and his scientific approach to training to others."
Mrs M. Hickley Licensed Conveyancer
"Having decided to take up personal training again, I found Neil on his personal training website.
On my first meeting with him I found him to be very professional, he had a form for me to fill out and asked me what I wanted to achieve from the training sessions, I felt he listened to what I was saying . He then told me about himself and how he would
run the sessions, I decided that every thing sounded good and he was very easy to speak to and I felt comfortable in his company, I think this is important in one to one training sessions.
I have now been training with Neil for about 6 months, the sessions have been better than I expected and I really enjoy them.
The hours training is always varied so you don't know what to expect. Having now had quite a few sessions i feel Neil did listen to what i asked for at our first meeting and tailored the sessions to suit my goals.
I feel at ease in his company, confident in what he asks me to do, and also impressed at his knowledge of his understanding of how the body works.
I would recommend Neil to any one looking for personal training sessions , he manages to get the best from me , while pushing but not in a too aggressive or intimidating way.
"
Mrs Rachel Brown Housewife
I am training with Neil because I want to improve my body and increase my general fitness. On my first few visits he assessed my abilities and discussed my goals with me and designed a programme to meet my needs. As I get fitter and stronger he is continuing to monitor my progress and is adapting the programme to meet my changing needs.
Neil has his own private gym, which means you can train with him on an individual basis in a nice environment. I don't like going to a public gym as I find those places a bit intimidating. Some personal trainers can also be intimidating, but Neil isn't at all. He works with you and helps you to achieve your goals. I enjoy my sessions as they're never boring and I come away feeling that I've achieved a lot. I've noticed such a difference in my body shape, my fitness levels and my energy levels and I would never have achieved these changes by training on my own in a public gym

This was my first time in using a personal trainer and I was suprised and pleased to find someone available in the same town where I live. Neil is very professional and knowledgeable about all aspects of training. He tailors the sessions to meet your requirements and makes sure you are comfortable and confident with the exercises which inspires you to practice them on your own.
I was surprised by how much improvement I saw in just a few weeks and how much fitter and healthier I felt as a result.
I would recommend Neil to anyone who is considering taking up exercise but lacks confidence to go to the gym or is unsure where to start.
