Private One-to-One personal training

Great training, great advice, and great encouragement from the word go in the private, well equipped studios.

I have competed in a number of triathlons over the last number of years, though lost my enthusiasm for training, through training with Sam Blythe at Fitness Matters for the last number of months I find that I am energised and enjoying exercise again.

At work I am more alert, more focused, and can concentrate for longer during the day.

The advice, support, and encouragement given in each session is testament to the level of preparation and professionalism that Sam effortlessly inputs to each workout.

The gym for me has always a place I would avoid, as this to me was not enjoyment. Sam however through his unique approach and varied tailored coaching has made this environment fun, combined with the fantastic facility this has made it something that I look forward too, and take pleasure from, both during and after each session.

I would happily recommend Fitness Matters and Sam Blythe to anyone.

Having a structured weekly fitness session with Kev was the difference last year in our promotion to National league. Whilst many of us were already fit, having such a professional approach, aimed at hockey specific fitness was a huge factor in our domination of our league. Not only did we all actually feel the difference, but people really started to enjoy the sessions. We are delighted to work with Kev again this year as we step up another level and the fitness demands become even greater.

During my time working with Sam he illustrated a very professional and dedicated approach to both fitness and nutrition. He brings a great deal of experience, knowledge, innovation and passion which are fundamental to helping you achieve your goals. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sam as a person who will motivate and inspire people to better their health and wellbeing.

Training with Sam takes the planning and worry out of training. My sessions are always challenging, never the same and without his motivation and knowledge I would probably do the same exercises every time! I always go home with a real sense of achievement and feel good factor, energizing me for my day!

Having done a few half marathons and one full marathon in the past I thought I was in pretty decent shape before I started having sessions with Sam. However, he got me training at a greater intensity and with more variety and after just seven weeks I knocked a couple of minutes off my best half marathon time – set eight years earlier! There isn’t much Sam doesn’t know about fitness and his knowledge and tips that back up the training sessions are invaluable. 

I have been working with Sam for several years. He is the best coach I can imagine. Of course he has improved my times immeasurably, but what sets Sam apart from any other coach is his communication and responsiveness. In over 3 years he has never missed sending me weekly sessions and never once failed to reply to a WhatsApp or email question about that week's sessions. He has devised programs for me for everything from sprints to a marathon. I will be staying with Sam for many years to come and I can't recommend him highly enough.
