Valknut PT - Valknut Strength and Power

Teaches from the get go it’s about you loving yourself not changing yourself. Makes it so much easier and fun. Couldn’t ask for a better guy to teach you. Started as a client and became a great pal very quickly. If you’re looking for someone to help you with your gym journey you won’t find better than mr greaves. Amazing man and amazing service

I've been training with James for about a year and half now. In that time my confidence in the gym, strength and size have all improved massively. Can confidently say its been one of the best decisions I've ever made. He's a great guy to work with - friendly, supportive, encouraging and knowledgeable.Also the sense of community he's created in the gym is absolutely priceless.If you're looking for a PT, stop now, you've found the best.

Decided to take on a PT after recovering a severe hip injury. I was in the worst shape of my life, and was still in a great deal of pain, so I was apprehensive at first about going back into a gym environment. After a few sessions with James my confidence was already coming back, and I was starting to feel like my old self. Now a year on, I am fitter than I was before my injury, my mental health is great, and I put it all down to James's expert guidance and training. Honestly, I didn't realise that fitness was for me until I joined Valknut. If you're on the fence about getting a PT, I highly recommend giving this guy a try. I wish I'd started years ago!

Never saw the point of investing in personal training as I've been going to the gym in and off for years, but always shied away from the compound moves due to lack of confidence and injury. James is great at explaining the moves and how to execute safely, and is a fantastic motivator- never a dull session when he's around! Have gained confidence, strength and knowledge from working with him, and always come away feeling energised and positive. Highly recommend!

5 Stars, use to think the biggest guys in the gym were unapproachable and talking to others at the gym was a big no but James goes way too far for his clients. The gym use to be intimidating but through him ive learnt too much and been introduced to everyone he knows. He will take care of you big time, The clan he has started goes out of their way for each other and it all starts from the big man at the top. Big friendly Giant

I worked with James for about 6 months, have been working out for about 12 years before that, and within those 6 months my bench went up from 140 to 180kg, squat from super low (I’m embarrassed don’t ask) to 200kg, and started deadlifting for the first time ever and can now pull 220 pretty easy. I was always just scared because I didn’t know what I was doing and James showed me how to do it safely and how to improve what I already knew. He is kind and considerate and I don’t think he has a judgmental bone in his body. I’ve seen him train people from all different starting points and everyone comes out feeling more confident and secure in themselves and at the gym. He’s a big friendly guy and I couldn’t recommend him enough

I’ve been with James since the beginning of November 2022. My gym experience prior was extremely minimal and I mainly used pin loaded machines that looked easy enough to use.James has taught me a lot about the gym, different exercises, nutrition and most importantly taught me a lot about myself! I never thought I was capable of losing weight while also building muscle and getting stronger. It’s crazy what you’re capable of doing with the correct mindset and teacher to guide the way! I would highly recommend James to anyone at any skill level.

James is incredibly passionate about what he does and knows his stuff. He will never fail to put a smile on your face! Creates an amazing environment at the gym and gets people the results they want to see. Would highly recommend

When I started training I had a small amount of gym experience, but lacked direction and the confidence to really go all-out and challenge myself. With having trained with Valknut now for 9 months, my approach to training has changed dramatically and I feel all the more confident because of it. James has been a fantastic personal trainer, and has given incredible support at every turn. I cannot recommend Valknut enough to anyone looking to take their training to the next level.

I joined James a year ago having no experience of the gym at all. Within that time, not only am I able to confidently go into any gym and have an effective and enjoyable workout, but I am also converted to the gym lifestyle. Would 100% recommend for any level!
