Odyssey Personal Training

I've been going to Odyssey Personal Training's runners strength and conditioning class for a number of months now. My balance, strength and coordination has greatly improved as Andy has always been great on focusing on getting the form right rather than just the time or reps.In the last few weeks I signed Andy up as my personal trainer and so far progress has been nothing short of amazing. Since signing up about 6 weeks ago I've* Done my first ever pull-up* Lost on average a kg a week ( and it's visible, clothes are baggy )* Knocked a 1 min 18 seconds off my PB* Drastically improved my form and number of reps for push ups, planks and other exercisesHis personal training is really helpful as he is continually adjusting the plan based on how I'm performing so making adjustments if I'm struggling or no longer being challenged by certain elements of the plan. This means I can have a nice structured plan which fits around my weekly schedule, rather than picking a training plan online which may not match my ability or availability.The other benefit of having a tailor made plan is that Andy helps by giving relevant advice and pointers that I can action, rather than having to digest the overwhelming amount of training and diet advice online.Definitely recommended for all abilities

As well as being my personal trainer and attending his classes, i always find Andy to be honest, encouraging and very professional, and works round even the slightest injury to keep you going safely. Having had a few personal trainers over the years, i feel most comfortable and at ease with Andy, even though i complain alot of aches and pains he is very patient. Even with lockdown i feel the online classes are equally as brilliant and rewarding. Definately would recommend to anyone looking for classes or 1 to 1 sessions for specific needs.

I have been attending Odyssey training now for just over a year and the Instruction and motivation I have received from Andy can only be described as first class. His knowledge and understanding of fitness training is immense, his delivery of instruction during classes is of a very high standard I highly recommend his services wether you are a beginner or more seasoned fitness enthusiast.

Great range of classes which Andy will tailor throughout to support all abilities to get the most from their workout. Knowledgeable, approachable and with an enthusiasm to fitness that can't help but motivate you! Andy continually goes above and beyond what you'd expect from a personal trainer!

I hated gyms and understanding how to use equipment, I would never have had the confidence to step foot in one. From the start Andy listened to what I wanted and encouraged and supported when I said I couldn’t, each session I came away motivated and believing I could be stronger and better next time, giving clear instruction on how to use the machines so I had the confidence to use the gym alone.No fads, no strict diets just honest realistic advice on what I could do to improve my fitness and overall wellbeing. Everything is tailored to suit you, being a single parent I had to find the time but Andy planned my workouts to fit around my busy life, innovative exercises I could do at home without equipment and how to get the best out of the time I had at the gym.I was so focused on my diet and failing at every hurdle, Andy encouraged me to think differently, working on the fitness and my wellbeing first which then led to better choices in my diet.If I had to describe Andy in 3 words it would be Supportive, motivational and most of all honest which I think is essential in a personal trainer.Whatever goal you have in mind this is the PT that will help you succeed and motivate you to push past that goal.

I’ve been using Odyssey PT for over a year. Classes are well structured and fun. Andy is knowledgable and professional. I’ve been going to Runners strength & conditioning, MetaPWR, circuits on a regular basis and more recently as a 1:1 client. I have been on a couple of the trail running sessions too. The classes have been adapted to online during lockdown and are of equal quality to before. I would highly recommend Odyssey PT.

Working with Andy has been the best decision I have ever made. I am currently recovering from knee surgery for the second time and this recovery has been so much easier. It is because my whole body was stronger and more flexible. Andy has a considerable amount of knowledge and knows how to adapt workouts to meet your individual needs and keep you motivated. I can not wait to get cleared by my surgeon so I can go back to business as usual! To anyone who says they don’t have time, it’s about rethinking your priorities. Self-care is not selfish, it’s the greatest gift you can give yourself and everyone who depends on you.

I've been with OPT since the beginning of the year when I signed up for RSC to help motivate me back into running. RSC is a fantastic session for runners and after the first block I really saw improvement in my running. I then jumped in on some circuits sessions, it's a really fun class, suitable for all levels of fitness and the team are super welcoming and helpful.I'm now training one on one with Andy, he's put together a comprehensive plan that includes running and strength training. It's been incredibly helpful having everything written out for me, just check the app each day and get on with the workout. The check in sessions are brilliant, Andy really listens to how I'm feeling with each workout and even changes things up a bit so that each workout is as enjoyable as possible. He's also really great with nutrition advice and is very sensitive with my own personal struggles with disordered eating.I genuinely can't recommend OPT enough, it's changed how I train and has helped with my confidence in myself and what I'm capable of.

I have been to several personal trainers over the past 10 years or so, but Andy is the only one that I can truly personally recommend. He has set up a personalised programme for me which never fails to be a challenge and his patience and encouragement are first rate. After 6 months I had lost 21 lbs and 30 inches! I feel 100% fitter and actually enjoy exercise for the first time ever - all thanks to Andy.

I’ve taken part in Andy’s Strength & Conditioning classes for over a year and have been very impressed by the structure and format of them .Each bit has a purpose , right from the warm up to the different stretches that are done at the end targeting specific muscles.Andy also produced and delivered a personal plan for me to follow to alleviate back issues I had . Highly recommended.
