I have had around 12 sessions with Jyde so far. When I started my fitness journey, my goal was to increase mass, lose fat in problem areas and have a sculpted body like his which I aspire to!<\/p>\n

Jyde is an incredibly genuine, down to earth warm and open minded soul. Our workouts are fun but boy does he know how to push me and some days I feel broken afterwards! But as they say, no pain no gain! I\u2019ve hit milestones at the gym which wouldn\u2019t have been possible if it wasn\u2019t for him pushing me. As a result I\u2019ve seen some amazing changes in my body. Most importantly, working out with Jyde is fun and he knows way too much about my life that I think he should become my therapist too! My ultimate goal was to workout whilst keeping it fun and not be on a super strict diet of bland foods. I have that freedom and am able to maintain a good relationship with food, my social life and still see incredible results in a short period of time. This is one of the key reasons I have kept going without losing my motivation. I\u2019ve had so many compliments at a recent BBQ in regards to my body from friends who haven\u2019t seen me in a while. I can see changes myself too. I am now described as \u201cmuscley\u201d, which no one has ever said before! I appreciate that Jyde understands my goal isn\u2019t about having an 8 pack, it\u2019s about feeling good about who I am, having fun during our workouts and enjoying my life. So if you\u2019ve ever thought about getting yourself a PT, it\u2019s a fantastic personal investment when you have someone like Jyde. Give him a try. You have nothing to lose\u2026 other than inches!<\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t

    Strength was my ultimate goal in my fitness journey and after 12 sessions with Jyde, I\u2019m seeing the improvements week after week! I started working with Jyde to primarily focus on my upper body strength and after hearing his programme structure, I was a little taken aback by the intensity. But session after session, I felt my strength growing; coming hand in hand with my confidence and I couldn\u2019t be more proud of my journey so far! Jyde is a fun and genuine trainer who I felt comfortable and at ease with immediately. He pushed my limits to another level (and to tears on one occasion!) and now the results are insane. Not only has he helped me to hit new PRs almost every week, but my physique is beginning to change drastically. The definition around my arms and core can no doubt be attributed to his gruelling training. Yes, I wake up stiff and broken but the satisfaction after an amazing session is inevitable when training with Jyde.<\/p>\n

    His training is unique in that he incorporates different exercises each session in order to provide a holistic approach to training muscle groups. The variety adds an exciting element every time and as a novice, Jyde gave me a great insight into proper form and technique as well as suitable alternatives for beginners.<\/p>\n

    When working with Jyde, expect intense sessions as well as a lot of laughter as he finds the perfect balance between intensity and fun when training. He\u2019s a perfect investment if you\u2019re thinking about strength training and believe me, the results will shine in a few weeks time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t

      I'm not usually one to write reviews but I've had an amazing experience training with Jyde over the past few months! As someone who loves running I used to stick to the cardio machines in the gym, and I was pretty clueless about the benefits of weight training for improving my strength and endurance. I was skeptical at first but Jyde really opened my eyes to the value of lifting weights - my shin splits have disappeared, I've consistently hit pbs while running and my overall confidence has improved massively !! Jyde is an incredible personal trainer - he listens and tailors the programme to your specific goals, he's super knowledgeable and creative with the training sessions, and has pushed me to achieve results that I never thought were possible. We always have a laugh together while training which makes it more enjoyable and takes the edge off the burn. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to explore weight training and improve their general relationship with exercise!<\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t

        Great Gym, Amazing PT!!
        The gym location is great and full of space, great to go on off peak times with much easier access.
        Being able to book a first view of the gym with a member of staff is great to feel comfortable with
        the place. Gym are great and do as well, but when we don\u2019t do it for so many years we need that
        pick me up. I found my one in the Gym, PT Jyde. My mental health wasn\u2019t great and physical way
        worse. When we go to the gym we are not going just to be healthy and look good but do be
        confident. Jyde was and is the greatest PT I ever meet, pushing until the limit, making us laugh while
        we are going thru hard exercises and being there as a friend too. I always looked forward to my
        sessions as after a month I started to beat my personal best with his support. Having exercises and
        routines that helped with my lower back pain was amazing! And not only I won strength from the
        sessions with Jyde but as well I reduced my intake of caffeine, yeah I can sleep my 8h a day now!!!
        As well i have reduce by less then a half the amount of cigarettes I used to have before. My sleeping
        became better, my breathing better, I started to have way more strength and resistance then before
        in such a short period of time, it\u2019s amazing what he can do! Not only this \u2026 after years I can say that
        today for the first time I can dress tight clothes and be proud of myself and feel good with myself too
        not just physically but mentally too. Can walk with a correct poster (that I didn\u2019t had until meeting
        Jyde) and much more . Jyde was very professional and knew how to take us to our limit, every
        session I would be beating my personal best thanks to him, one thing that you will see Jyde is not
        just a PT he becomes your friend \u2026 yes I suffer a little bit in the beginning with my strength and
        physic .. but after a frustrating day having a time with him and exercise and talk at the same time
        was the best therapy I could ever had . Plus that he would check on daily basis how I would be
        feeling in relation to pain or soreness l, something I actually never experienced before with other
        PT\u2019s. So thank you Jyde for everything! Is a shame I moved area and I\u2019m not able anymore to go to
        Shoreditch. If there is the best PT of Pure Gym or even UK I would nominate you to being the
        champion!<\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t
