Protagonist Fitness

Great personal trainer, helped me gain the confidence in the gym and relevant knowledge required to preform well. He teaches in a manner which motivates and pushes your boundaries. I felt myself getting physically stronger and have no complaint, great support and super friendly to talk to.

Dean is an amazing personal trainer, I learned so much from Dean and it was such a wonderful experience. He helped me with my progress so much and the most important part, I know how to use the equipment properly now, so i can avoid injuries. I have never felt so confident and strong!Thank you for all the support, help and motivation.I Highly Recommend Dean!

Dean is a miracle worker, he knows his stuff and puts together plans that really help to educate, develop and meet your needs. I have seen results where I haven't before and really learnt why I'm doing the specified exercises. My nutrition is 100% better and I am enjoying the process. I would highly recommend Dean/Protagonist Fitness he is worth every cent!

Dean really helped me see the gym differently, he doesn’t just give you exercises and tell you to get on with them he really explains and breaks it down so you know exactly what you are working until you are comfortable. He also helped me focus on my form and made sure I was doing the exercise correctly while guiding me step by step which helped me see results. Dean also explained what I need to fuel my workouts and helped me understand why my protein intake is so important to see results and build muscle. This has helped me see so many changes, thank you dean!!

Previously had session with Dean for a period of around 4-5 months. I was a complete novice starting and he really made the exercise and plan feel not daunting at all. He was very supportive at all times, checked in regularly and was super flexible with his availability to fit around my lifestyle. Once my current commitments have ended, I anticipate being able to use Protagonist Fitness again long term.

I couldn't recommend Dean highly enough.He has taken my gym confidence from zero to 100, not to mention my strength, form and knowledge.Super approachable and sympathetic to your personal needs and wants.I (and my glutes) wish I had found him sooner!

I've been using Dean as my PT for almost 10 months now, in both 1-2-1 sessions and with my wife.In that time we have both managed to lose weight at a steady pace and increase our strength and volume in our workouts.I personally have managed to drop my weight by almost 2 stone in that time AND noticeably improve my mental health. All helped not just by the gym work but the accountability with my diet that Dean has provided and which I had asked for.The gym sessions are well structured and have helped me develop my technique so that I am lifting weight safely and for maximum effectiveness. If I have any aches or pains I've brought to the session from my day at work, Dean has always been able to advise on a stretch or exercise that has managed to ease the pain and help get through the session.Both myself and wife came into the gym with no past experience and we now have the confidence and knowledge to do add a gym session to our week where we work alone without Dean.Dean is a friendly, patient and knowledgeable PT and manages to always get the most out of us during our sessions. I would definitely recommend him if you are looking for a PT that can adapt sessions to your goals and also give you the confidence and accountability that I've personally needed.I have tried to lose weight in the past but I was missing two things, 1. Dean and 2. the self-drive to do it. You might not have much self-drive to begin with but the sessions have definitely kick started that for me.So if you're searching through Google maps reviews for a PT like I was 10 months ago, you can stop now.

I can't recommend Protagonist Fitness enough!Dean's knowledge, commitment, enthusiasm and professionalism has got me where I am today. Whilst my journey is nowhere near complete he has adapted his training style to not only meet my physical goals but he very quickly understood what would work for me mentally too. I have always struggled with my weight and discipline towards exercise....this is no longer an issue for me. I never thought I would love going to the gym especially after being in 40's and never having tried it but I'm glad I took the plunge. With Dean I feel he adapts every plan to the individual as a whole....which is why it works! Sign up you will never regret it.

Dean did a plan for me about a year ago and I’ve stuck to it ever since then. This is testament to how much Dean listened to my goals and tailored the plan to reach them. Dean is super approachable and knowledgable and generous with his time and advice. Can’t recommend him highly enough. If you can’t do PT I’d at the very least go to his circuits class (if he still runs it) - I’ve been to so many classes and his has thought put into it so you feel like you’ve done an effective and fun workout and is a great gateway into weightlifting. Thanks Dean!
