Client Testimonials

I’ve always been naturally quite slim and always found it a challenge to put on muscle. I heard about Paul through several of my friends and saw they had great results so went for an initial consultation. My goal was to add as much muscle as possible, stay lean and to improve my eating habits. Paul put together a structure that not only gave me a path to my goal but also took into account my hectic schedule with work, travel etc. From the start to the finish Paul kept me motivated and on track. Not only did I achieve the muscle gains I wanted but I also saw a massive improvement in my sleep, digestive system, cognitive focus, strength and cardio fitness. I would highly recommend Paul to anyone who wants gain muscle, loose weight or use food to improve part of your life. I will definitely be working again with Paul in the near future.

I started my journey with Brendan 12 weeks ago and to say it’s changed my life is a understatement. Before starting with Brendan I was very down in myself, had been struggling to loose weight for over a year, I hated how I looked and how clothes made me feel, I had done something else before which had worked for me but this time around nothing seemed to want to go my way. When I first had my consultation with Brendan I was skeptical, I was afraid that I would try this and not see any difference. Now just after 12 weeks I feel like a new woman that may still have a long way to go but took the right first steps and has seen the difference that has made so far.. the scale may not show a major difference for 12 weeks but it’s my mind, body, my outlook on health that has been the big difference and it has overall set up the stepping stones to build me into the person I deserve to be. I only completed home workouts throughout this journey and focused on my food and how I ate, before I started I was barley hitting 1,000 calories a day and now I can eat between 1,800 and 2,000 calories which is a big change but one that was needed to build energy and get me where I am now. I honestly couldn’t recommend him enough to anyone that is struggling with their fitness journey. He is always there to talk whenever you need him, with suggestions and being able to alter your program to your needs, for someone that works long shifts and does night shifts that’s what I needed and Brendan worked around all that and we ended up smashing it throughout the 12 weeks. I am now confident in saying that from now on I know what to do to get the results I want.. Thank you Brendan for helping make the right steps in my journey

Ive known Paul for a few years now since joining the gym but have only started working with him in the last eighteen months. From our first meeting I knew it would work as he understood even though my goal was to get in shape for holidays and I was one hundred percent committed to it he took into account my very busy timetable with work and family and took all this into consideration when coming up with a plan for me which resulted in me heading away on holidays in what we agreed was fantastic shape. In the following twelve months we’ve carried on working together in a slow and measured approach and this year I went on holiday in even better shape having Paul guiding me. In the time I’ve known him he’s shown and introduced to me so many new things such as new foods, training methods and the importance of sleep but to name a few which I’ve implemented and are now a staple of my day to day life. I’m forty next year and can honestly say I’m in the best shape of my life and Paul has played a huge part in that. In short I can’t speak highly enough of him and would recommend him to anyone.

I reached out to Paul in March when I was feeling a bit lost in myself and my situation. I had indulged plenty over Christmas and couldn’t get back into my usual routine which was a pretty good one. I knew I needed someone to steer me in the right direction and I knew Paul was the person to help me. I was so happy after getting in touch and actually wished I had just reached out sooner. You’re never 100 percent ready for anything and with good guidance that’s what a coach is there for, to help get you back on the right track. As soon as the coaching started I felt the motivation and excitement rush back. We suddenly went into lockdown and I felt lost all over again, only a week after starting I now had no gym to work with and felt no purpose in having a coach. Paul quickly put me in my place and got my head straight, just because there’s no gym doesn’t mean we sit around and wallow in self pity, which is what I wanted to do and probably stuff my face. During the course of the lockdown I cleared out my garage and got everything set for training and stuck to my workouts every week. It actually felt amazing having routine during this pandemic when I could’ve easily just went down the path of self pity. It gave my days and weeks purpose and overall I felt great. With regular updates and check ins with Paul it really did help keep me on the right track. During lockdown I had a few episodes with my mental health and Paul helped me figure out things that I needed to do to help my situation. Things that you do, but forget over time. This really helped get me back to a happier me and find clarity. Having a coach isn’t just about the numbers on the scales or losing fat. It can be about so much more. Paul is kind of like a life coach as well as a nutrition and fitness coach. I would 100 percent recommend Paul if you’re thinking about coaching or just need someone to help steer you back on your path. I know if when I need it again Paul would be my go to.

I’ve worked with Paul a few times, with a different goal in mind each time. I say worked with because when Paul is involved, you really feel supported the whole time. You must put in the work but you always feel you’ve got someone on your side. The time and effort Paul puts into clients is almost incomprehensible. He is so knowledgeable and is constantly educating himself so that he can guide and support. He is a fountain of knowledge and experience. Working with Paul has re framed my own mindset towards food and nutrition. I have learned so much from him and definitely have a better understanding and balance in my life. Paul is very understanding, genuinely cares and is very motivating. I can’t speak highly enough of him. I’m very grateful that when I went looking for nutrition advice and support, it was Paul I turned to. He taught me how important sleep, stress and mindset are as well as nutrition when you want to achieve a goal. Almost subconsciously, my lifestyle habits have become healthier but still balanced and sustainable, all with thanks to what I’ve learned from Paul

Ive just finished up a 12 week coaching with Brendan. Before starting I had only been to the gym a handful of times and knew very little about working out. My nutrition was not great and I was eating far too little during the weekdays before over indulging at the weekends. His coaching taught me everything I needed to know about my own body and what it responds to in order to get results. The structure of the workouts and the nutrition were very easy to follow and I started seeing results straight away. Energy levels were at an all time high, my mood improved and I felt much healthier overall. Importance was also put on managing other elements of life such as stress management, sleep and taking time out to relax. The weekly check in was a great way to kick start the motivation each week. The good feedback during the check in as well as the couple of texts during the week helped to keep the mind focused on my goals. I work full time, do a part time masters, play football and go to the gym and Brendan managed to squeeze all elements of the plan in around my lifestyle. I could not recommend Brendan or his coaching enough for anyone who wants to reach their fitness goals.

When I first heard of Paul and ‘Bespoke Nutrition’ I went OMG I will lose loads of weight and I’ll be “Happy”. However having being coached by Paul the last few months, my expectations were exceeded and what really living a healthy life is. Initially I was not thinking about sleep, water intake, stress, mood, digestion and bowel movements, I was just thinking numbers…..lbs and kgs. How wrong was I. The numbers on the scales are a tiny piece of the process. Getting good sleep eating the right food to fuel your activity and recovery, managing stress and focusing on what is actually important is what it’s about. Now the quality of my sleep is very good, stress is very much under control, water intake and portion size are under control and my ability to push the limits in training without being totally wrecked after is the biggest difference I see. Paul was available all the time even while on Honeymoon the updates were still coming in. He’s always there to answer questions along with giving advice and is clearly passionate about what he does. Thank you for making me a “happier healthier me”

Before I started working with Paul I had a really unhealthy relationship with food. Just like most girls I used it as both a reward and a punishment. I was binge eating and starving myself in a vicious circle. There are few words that can adequately describe how much this process has changed my WHOLE life…when Paul asked me first day what I wanted I said I wanted a 6 pack…oh how naive I was. I was a victim of the social media version of healthy there are so many more important things to a healthy balanced lifestyle than just how you look.

I got what I asked for but I also got so much more.

• I understand how to fuel my body and make better choices. 
• I have far more energy than ever before.
• My weekly shopping bill is almost half what it was. 
• I don’t get cravings anymore.
• I don’t get an afternoon slump.
• Im more confident in my ability both in the gym and outside it
• I can now cook, kind of, for anyone who knows me this is a big deal

Paul is everything you could ask for in a nutrition coach, he is knowledgeable, understanding, motivating, flexible, and overall gives you accountability.  He responds promptly to you and follows up on you if you miss a check in because he actually cares. He wants you to succeed beyond the number of weeks you work with him so he educates you throughout the process. This plan is NOT a diet it is a lifestyle change. Moral of the story is this has changed my life and if your goal is to get your body working for you then what are you waiting for?  Do something for your future self today and message Paul now…you will not regret it.
