Guardians Personal Training

I’ve been working with Neil since late summer 2020 on losing my lockdown weight gain. Not only did he help me with my goals then, he has since seen me through both pregnancy and postnatal training — always with a smile and pushing me to do better. The gym is well equipped and we often do sessions outside overlooking the lido. All the trainers seem terrific and I’m so pleased I found Guardians when I did.

The Guardians provide a great all-around service. Firstly the gym itself is well-equipped and intimate. Being next to the Lido provides for inspiring views as well. The trainers have the right balance of being very knowledgeable and able to develop the right plan for your interests/needs. They also work hard to make the gym a welcoming environment, everyone seems to feel at ease and on their best form.

Guardians is a brilliant place to train! From the moment I started training I felt comfortable and adequately challenged. Sam and Neil have created a friendly welcoming vibe, I even get to bring my dog! The results I’ve seen over the past 6 years have been amazing, I would highly recommend Guardians!

Excellent personal training, very bespoke service with a world class location on Hampstead Heath. Neil is the best quality and most professional trainer I have seen in 30 years. Always thinking of new ways to tackle a problem, inspiring and with a smile and a story to take your mind off the pain! I’ve genuinely never been fitter. Highly recommend.

Have been using Guardians since it opened a number of years ago. Lovely group of trainers and facilities are exactly what I need, whether strength, cardio or both. Relaxed atmosphere but great motivation from the PTs and always super flexible to make sure schedules work. Would highly recommend.

Great trainers with a very personalised approach to creating killer sessions for you and a totally stunning location. Don't miss the Guardians challenges and the hyper competitive Fantasy Footie League..

I have been training with Sam and Neil for years. When I started my aim was to lose 3kg and get fit as trying to keep up with my children when running was impossible! Very quickly I lost the post pregnancy pounds by training consistently 2-3 times per week and became stronger and toned. Not only that, instead of aching for the first 2-3 days when skiing, I could adapt immediately to a whole day of skiing and feel strong! I have achieved way beyond my expectations ! I am toned with good muscle definition and high energy levels. I highly recommend Sam and Neil and when I’ve trained with one of their other trainers due to their holiday breaks, I’ve always received the same expert care and consistency. A great team! Highly highly recommend!!

Been training with Sam for years, he’s very knowledgeable and the workouts are never boring plus, nothing can beat working out looking at hampstead heath or the lido, prime location, great staff and equipment, would recommend to anyone!

This place is an oasis. Literally and metaphorically since it’s right in the Lido outdoor pool buildings. And it’s a got a vibe that makes you want to go back. . A smaller gym. Normally no more than 4 or 5 trainers with clients. Dog friendly. People are friendly too - which isn’t true of all gyms! Proper personalised workouts that push you as much as you want. There aren’t many spaces like this in London.

I have been training with Sam for 5 years. He is the best trainer I have worked with in 20+ years of PT. Sam always pushes me that extra mile. the training is varied and very effective, he is very knowledgable, doesnt chat too much (which i hate) and he is great person. Sam gave me the confidence and got me fit enough to run the London Marathon in a great time and I am forever grateful. Highly recommend and have sent many friends to train with him and his team.
