Origin Nutrition

Sam has been my personal health coach for a year and it has been a very positive experience. We met weekly online as I’m based in the US. He always provided useful information to read, reviewed my progress and helped set goals for the week ahead. He’s helped me change the way I think about 1) dietary value of food, specially regarding daily % of protein where I increased my from 30-80-90%. 2) building muscle for the benefit of my long term health. Sam is knowledgeable about women’s menstrual health including impact of menopause on women. I felt very comfortable talking about this with Sam, most men including doctors don’t appear to understand how to talk about the menopause despite it’s significant influence on a woman’s overall well-being. I highly recommend Sam to anyone who wants to learn how to manage their wholistic fitness e.g diet, exercise, self image, and overall health.

Sam is genuine, passionate & keen to provide the right tools to work for you individually. He’s helped to change my relationship with exercise, after completing his Learn to lift course and some 1:1 sessions, I finally felt comfortable enough to go in a gym. And he has improved my food nutrition knowledge. Highly recommend! ⭐️

Sam has a solid knowledge base and his levels of patience and understanding are astounding. He has helped me to get into the right mindset to prepare for my weight loss journey ahead of my wedding. I’ve made small but positive steps in the right direction, and choosing to utilise Sam as a starting point was a good decision. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to lose weight the sustainable way.

Before my journey began with Sam, I had no confidence in myself. I hated looking in the mirror, it always kept me down, I didn’t feel healthy anymore and I know I needed to make a change for myself and to be a role model for my children. I had no knowledge about nutrition or exercise even though I used to be a big gym freak in my younger days. I felt disconnected with myself and how to look after my health properly. I decided to make a change and get in touch with Sam, since being with Sam I’ve learnt a lot of knowledge on how the body and mind works especially the female body. With Sam’s openness I felt comfortable to tell him everything.It’s been months now since I’ve been with Sam and I can definitely say, I’ve learnt how to gain control over my mind and health. I know what I’m doing in the gym again and I also have a better knowledge on nutrition. I have a better understanding on womens cycle. I’ve started to love myself more and actually feel more confident thanks to Sam. I have better control over my mind and body and have the tools to carry on in the near future.If you feel low in confidence and want to better yourself and your health, definitely get in touch with Sam. He has changed so many peoples lives, he definitely is the best personal trainer around that understands you so much.

The key takeaway from working with Sam is how much I have LEARNT! I was literally a sponge week on week learning the truths about how to approach nutrition and training, it is clear that Sam really knows his stuff! I also improved my relationship with food and my body image (not fully there yet but I know the steps I need to take to make healthy habits). My current goal is to keep embedding these daily habits into my life to be able to maintain this long term to feel healthier in myself! Thankyou Sam for all of your support.

I came to Sam originally to help me with my IBS but since learning about nutrition from him and learning to manage my food intake in a healthy and maintainable way my whole lifestyle has changed for the better. I look at food so differently to previous diets I have tried and am now, through Sam’s teaching, able to understand the gym / nutrition on my own and live a truly healthy lifestyle in the least restrictive way possible. I am so grateful to Sam and his help!!

I signed up to Sam as I felt I really need some guidance and Education around Nutrition and to make some better choices with a healthy and balanced lifestyleHis advice and guidance was a real culture shift for me learning it's not always about the numbers on the scales; and that it's ok to eat anything without feeling guilty or berating myself...therefore enjoying a more balanced lifestyle.Sam is first class in what he does. He's never judgemental he's patient with a chaotic mum lifestyle and he's honest.Thanks for the support Sam.

Before I started with Sam I would go in the gym a couple times a week, I’d even worked with a PT at one point, but I didn’t see any progress or change with my shape or weight.Last summer whilst on holiday I felt the least confident I had ever been. From the beach, I decided to contact Sam, mainly because the advice he was sharing on his social media made so much sense but also because I felt that he was someone who was compassionate, had a good sense of humour and was fully invested in his clients.Since being with Sam I have completely changed my view on health and fitness. It’s not just about losing weight for me anymore (although during my journey so far I have completely changed my body shape, losing just over 3 stone ☺️). I now have so much more energy, feel less stressed and sleep better. I feel confident training in the gym and I have a good understanding of nutrition. I have even learnt and understand so many aspects of being and feeling healthy.I am fully invested, It’s become a lifestyle for me. It isn’t a chore or difficult to stick to. There is no ‘fad’ dieting or ‘falling off the wagon’ because Sam shares such a wealth of knowledge and reasoning throughout the journey. He celebrates your achievements (small or big) and always helps to boost your confidence. For these reasons, if you are wanting to improve your health and fitness or you are not happy with your appearance you should definitely give Sam a message. I can 100% guarantee you won’t regret it!

I have had the pleasure of working with Sam now for over a year and would absolutely recommend him to anyone who wants to feel and look better. Sam’s approach is to gradually educate you and give you the confidence to take your fitness and nutrition into your own hands. I have genuinely learnt so much during my time with him and his style is never overbearing or intimidating. He listens, puts things into context and really helps you achieve your goals. As a person, Sam is likable and easy to talk to which makes his coaching sessions feel more like a positive discussion rather than a grilling of what I could have done better. Thank you Sam for genuinely improving my life (and I never thought I’d be saying that!).

I reached out to Sam as I wanted help to get back in to a regular gym routine.I found that I felt out of place in a gym as I hadn't been for so long, and consequently walking in to a gym on my own felt so overwhelming!The structure and knowledge that Sam provided has really set me up to be independent and confident. I'm back in a regular routine, I know when to up weights and how to mix up my work outs when the gym is busy.Our chats naturally delved in to nutrition, vitamins, sleep and hormones too, I learnt so much through reaching out and can't thank him enough!
