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."

"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."
