Genesis Personal Training

Totally rate Genesis and Chris in particular - my sessions are productive, kept interesting and fun!

For a year I had personal training with Chris Davies at Genesis Mind & Body. I am not a gym person and have no drive to exercise at all but each week I counted down to my next session! Chris made exercise fun (yet still hard!) and mixed it up with lots of different ways to keep fit. Introducing the boxing to my sessions was brilliant, if you haven't tried that I strongly recommend it. The only reason I no longer visit Genesis is because I moved away, otherwise I'd still be going no question!When you visit Genesis you get a real strong feeling of family. Everyone that works there is so friendly and welcoming, caring about your sessions and how you're getting on. Chris, Dan, Loic and the others are all really friendly and you can tell they really get on well with each other. The feeling in the studio is very relaxed yet still super professional.Loic seems to be a miracle worker with massages. For months I was suffering with severe back pain and even 8 weeks of intense physio didn't help. I headed back to Genesis for a sports massage with Loic and have not had one issue with my back since!I can't recommend this place enough. It's good for seasoned gym bunnies and newbies, very reasonably priced for a London studio and run by a great group of people.

A very personable team of personal trainers, physiotherapists and massage therapists secreted away in the Shepherd's Building. I have experienced their classes (the Pilates Motr class was really interesting, engaging and Hard!), personal training and massage therapy and they are definitely recommended. Whether you need to get fitter or need some TLC from Loic the massage therapist, from my experience they are really interested in getting the best from you and helping you improve. It's nice to have an integrated gym-therapy system where you can get treatment or training from the same package as you choose.

Love my Personal Training gym! What a great space to work out in, and with great music to boot! Whoever put together the playlists will get all my points, definitely. This personal training space has everything you need to work out, hard or light, a sophisticated water fountain (think it can do sparkling water too, but haven't tried yet), good facilities but first and foremost, a great atmosphere, friendly, professional coaches and staff working there. Love it!

I found Genesis when I was looking for individual personal training sessions. I have never been a sporty person but wanted to get healthier. I used gyms before, but I kept on hurting myself – I twisted my ankle and did my neck trying to keep up with gym classes!A physiotherapist advised me to have individual training sessions to strengthen parts of my body so that I could exercise more regularly. I contacted Dan at Genesis and gave him specific details of what I was looking for and what style of training would suit me. He is very very good at choosing the right trainer for the right individual.That was in 2012 and I’ve been going for a weekly training since then. I exercise regularly on my own as well – my trainer has tailored a programme for me. Genesis has a number of specialists e.g. running coaches and also offer physiotherapists, sport massage treatments and osteopathy that I have used in the past. I find everyone there is of a very high standard.

Training with Chris at Genesis has been an amazing journey over the last year! With underlying health issues I was nervous to begin training but he has worked with me so carefully to build back up my strength and health that has given me back a good quality of life. Conscientious, constantly asking how my body is feeling, checking in frequently to see how my energy levels and progression are going. I really couldn’t recommend this company enough.

Genesis is more than a personal training team, they are like family. My family have been training with them for over 10 years and every session is unique and keeps all of us fit and healthy. They were so versatile during lockdown and tailor sessions when required like the rehab sessions after my ski accident etc. I look forward to the sessions as it is more than a training session.

My family have been training with Genesis for over 10 years and every session has been different and engaging. Great thought is given to providing a varied experience that builds towards your goals.Chris our PT has become a close friend and Genesis is in many respects an extended family.

I have been training with Dan at Genesis for several years and most recently also with Chris. Both are personable, friendly and above all excellent trainers who inspire and help their clients set and achieve their goals. Regardless of how long you have been training you will be challenged and encouraged to continue to improve your fitness. I can't recommend training at Genesis highly enough.If you're looking for a massage after a hard work out the Genesis in house massage therapist Loic is a great choice. Anna, the Genesis nutritionist provides excellent help and support if you need to get your diet under control - she has done wonders for mine!

Feel hesitant writing this review. I've always considered Genesis one of the best kept secrets in Shepherds Bush. It's a real gem and I feel very lucky to have stumbled upon it. I'm currently training with Chris Davis, excellent trainer, intelligent and holistic approach to my fitness and body shape, I feel strong and look forward to our sessions. Loic is one of the best physios and all the other team members are fabulous. I love the daily message for inspiration. Just hope nobody reads my review and it stays a secret, very selfish I know.
