Optimum Physique

I have trained with Connor now for 5 months. I cannot recommend him enough! Having a huge fear of gyms previously, as I am a larger man with anxiety, he instantly eased my worries and made me feel comfortable in the setting. His style of training, his humour, his passion and his knowledge are just incredible. He has fully tailored a number of exercises with me that are set around the goals we set together and the progress has been fantastic. Connor, you have ignited a passion in my life that I had no idea I would love as much as I do, thank you!

I've been training with Connor for a year now and my progress has been nothing short of phenomenal. Connor's in-depth understanding of exercise, human physiology, and injury prevention has transformed my workout regimen, ensuring each session is both safe and incredibly effective.From the moment I started, I've felt comfortable, motivated, and engaged, thanks to his welcoming and professional demeanor. Connor doesn't merely train you—he understands you, customizing workouts to accommodate any discomfort, and always having a plan B at the ready. This level of adaptability sets him apart, confirming his commitment to providing a training experience that's personal in the truest sense.What sets Connor apart from other trainers I've worked with is not just his expertise, but his personable and motivational attitude. His punctuality and reliability are commendable; every minute spent during our thrice-weekly sessions is productive, challenging, and enjoyable.Connor also shows a genuine interest in my personal life and motivations, going above and beyond to encourage the workouts I do outside of our sessions. This total investment in my health journey has led to tangible improvements in my fitness levels and overall well-being.The Optimum Physique venue itself is second to none. It's immaculately clean, fully outfitted with top-tier equipment, and structured specifically for personalised, targeted workouts. As someone who has always felt uneasy training in public gyms, the private, one-on-one setup here is an absolute dream come true.If you're looking for a personal trainer who provides a holistic, tailored approach to fitness, then Connor and Optimum Physique is exactly what you're looking for!

Trained for nearly one year with Connor, excellent guidance and advice throughout each session, great venue, offers weekend training which helps with my busy work schedule. Strongly recommend, top 5 stars from me.

I have been training with Connor for about a year now and have seen a big improvement in my fitness and wellbeing. I have also lost significant weight which was one of my goals. Conner is very knowledgeable and makes the sessions fun and interesting. The studio is excellent and fully equipped. It has been one of the best decisions I've done getting a personal trainer as it's kept me motivated and committed. I would highly recommend Optimum Physique and Conner as a personal trainer.

I’ve trained with Connor since 2018. He’s helped me significantly with posture and muscle tone. I’m in my 40’s and have a busy job, I find the sessions keep my physical and mental fitness on track. Each session incorporates strength training and some stretches to complete. Overall, I have seen great improvement in stability and balance which makes positive differences to my daily life (and yoga practice when I do it!). Connor is fun, friendly and reliable which helps with my confidence. These sessions are methodically planned and delivered with care and expertise, he explains any new exercises clearly. I recommend studio PT sessions for the range of equipment available and Connor has recently provided sessions over video call as I no longer live in Poole, which has enabled me to continue with a routine while on the move. Results are great and I recommend PT sessions with Connor, I’ll be continuing with mine into my 50s and 60s!

I have been training with Connor at Optimum Physique for a number of years and it’s the longest I have ever stuck with PT, as he really gets results. Both training rooms have plenty of equipment for a varied workout, with machines, free weights, bands, balance boards and more. Connor is great at motivating, without being pushy and is flexible when things don’t work or injury gets in the way. He is a good listener, sets realistic goals and keeps the workouts varied so they never get boring. He is also excellent at putting things in perspective and making me appreciate how much I have achieved when I’m feeling demotivated. I would (and frequently do) recommend Connor to anyone as a trainer.

I’ve been training with Connor for just under a year. He’s very knowledgeable and keeps the sessions interesting. He’s a great listener and tailors each session to your ability but gives you a comfortable push. I’ve definitely grown stronger and my confidence in the gym has improved since training with Connor. The sessions are always enjoyable, I would recommend Connor and this gym space 1000%!

I've been training with Connor for just over 10 months now and can't rate him highly enough. Not having done much weight or strength training before, I wasn't sure if the goals i'd set were realistic and wanted to make sure I was training safely. Since starting regular sessions I've surpassed every single target and more - from weighted pull ups and push ups to squats and boxing. I love having regular training sessions and feel so much stronger both mentally and physically.

Highly recommend Optimum Physique! I started working with Kasia 5 months ago, I went in with a list of health issues, hoping i could improve my joint stability and the change in that short time is incredible. I've gone from multiple joint dislocations a week to 1 every other week, my quality of life has significantly improved. Kasia is knowledgeable, enthusiastic and honestly a pleasure to work out with.

Connor is by far the best trainer I have ever worked with. Before I joined this gym I had given up multiple times because they pushed me so hard that I was too sick to go home straight after the sessions. BUT Connor completely changed the game for me. I'm actually looking forward to coming to our sessions every time. He's an excellent motivator, always pays attention to my physical wellbeing, changes the exercise if necessary when I have issues with my back for instance. Also he's a great conversation partner. These sessions gave me confidence and finally I feel good about myself. I honestly couldn't recommend him highly enough.
