Transition4u Personal Training

Having tried running before but never enjoying it or feeling like I was getting anywhere I decided to join Al's 0-5k group. He was offering a free initial session so I had nothing to lose! I met a great group of people and with Al's support and encouragement, I managed to complete a 5k in just 6 weeks. You can too!!!

I have been working with Al as my personal trainer since January 2015. 

I can honestly say he has changed my life so much and for the better. I am 62 years old nearly 63 and have now found exercise to be a way of life.
Al is so much more than just a person who takes me through a workout. He cares, he motivates, he listens and he makes me laugh! Add to that a patient and thoughtful personality as well as someone who clearly knows his stuff and is able to explain and advise. He knows about putting things into perspective and how to push when you need pushing.
I really look forward to my training sessions and they are worth every penny. I have changed my shape for the better, think about healthy eating but not obsessively, and found time for me - something I never ever did before I met Al.
He is much more than a personal trainer, and my husband and I count him as one of our friends - something you can never have too many of.
If you are looking for a person to change your life using fitness, fun and friendship Al is the person to choose. 
I just want to say a Big Thank You and I always look forward to the next session.

Testimonial – Al Stewart (Fitness Trainer)

I have been working with Al for a few weeks now and can only say how delighted I am to have found his website.

My first interview with him was a thorough review of my overall health and aspirations. From there, we have met regularly. Al has come to my home and worked one-to-one with me, guiding me through a wide range of exercises and activities designed to meet my need to build up strength, stamina and overall muscle tone following a shoulder injury.

From the beginning, I found Al to be astute, supportive and sensitive to my needs. Each week he has taken me through a series of different routines designed to achieve the above. He has patiently explained how each exercise would help and has done this by an effective mixture of encouragement and challenge. He has guided me so that I have not only progressed, but have also gained better understanding of how the different muscle groups work together.

He has always ensured that I was working within my capabilities, whilst at the same time pushing me to do that little bit extra.

After each session he has produced a workout action plan that I could refer to when exercising on my own.

Overall, I cannot recommend Al too highly. He has boosted my confidence and given me reason to believe that I can achieve my health and fitness goals – and that I will enjoy doing it too!!

After a shoulder operation last year, I needed help with the recovery through physiotherapy, so I started working with Alun. With the range of exercises he has taught me and massage therapy, we have strengthened my shoulder and given me back the mobility and strength that I had not had for years! He has encouraged me at every stage of my recovery. I am now able to use weights and my overall strength and fitness has improved so much in a short space of time.

He has encouraged me to start running and I completed my first 5k this summer. 

Each workout is tailored to the individual, so you can achieve exactly what you are aiming for. I have learnt so much from Alun and I am much more confident in my own abilities and body image. He is willing to share his expert knowledge and certainly leads by example.

Alun is energetic, fun, committed and inspirational.

Alun has been my personal trainer, and instructing me in gym classes for over 3 years and I am absolutely delighted at the range of skills he possesses.  Alun is qualified for, and teaches, a  huge variety of classes, and so has the widest possible range of exercises to bring to his personal training clients.  Each week there are new things to try, and I never get bored.  He is astonishingly creative in using my home and its everyday contents as training equipment, so you don't need  any expensive kit to benefit from his expertise. Alun has such an excellent eye for the musculature and how a body moves, and he was the first person in years to recognise my very old, yet still irritating, ankle injury. He is a sports therapist so he has treated my other injuries, too. He and I laugh a great deal, and I have become so much stronger, and more self confident in the type of exercise I can attempt.  He was a huge support when I planned to climb Mount Snowden in the summer  - something I had never done before. He helped me plan it well. His previous work experiences, holistic approach, professionalism and sense of fun makes him a trainer I would thoroughly recommend to anyone  - from the wheelchair bound person, to someone training for Championships.
