From the moment you first step into my gym, my sole focus is on helping you reach your goals and maintain the results! When it comes to exercise and nutrition, the media is awash with quick fixes and miracle cures. As a personal trainer, I have spent the last thirteen years separating fact from fiction and what works from what doesn’t. Whatever your goal is, be it, reducing body fat, increasing muscle mass or getting rid of pain. What you do outside the gym is just as important as what you do inside it. Your nutrition, work life, hobbies, sleep patterns and postural habits are an integral part of what makes your body the way it is. For this reason I give advice that covers all these areas. I endeavor to make our time together a learning experience which will help you work towards your goals even when you are out of the gym. Everything listed below is included as part of the service: Regularly updated Exercise Programs That Are Individually Tailored To You. Initial Fitness & Postural Assessment. One To One Personal Training In My Private Gym. Home/Gym Exercise Plans. Nutrition Plans – Learn How To Control Your Weight For The Rest Of Your Life. Posture Correction & Help With Injuries. Sports Massage. Learn How To Prevent Injuries And Fix Your Own Aches And Pains My Approach To Personal Training. I have been fortunate as a personal trainer in that I tend to have a very low turnover of clients. On average, I take on 2-3 new clients per year. People only tend to leave if they move out of the area or their financial situation changes. 25% of my clients have actually been with me for well over ten years now! I have often asked my clients why they stay so long? The most common answers are; ‘The exercise and challenges are always changing which keeps me interested’ ‘You keep me accountable and help me stay on the straight and narrow when it comes to progress and my health’. Having spoken to other personal trainers, it is very unusual to have such great client retention. Although having such limited availability can sometimes be frustrating for potential clients, it has given me a unique perspective on what works and what doesn’t. As clients stay with me so long, I have been able to measure their progress over time. This has enabled me to work out what really makes the most difference when it comes to weight loss, muscle building, flexibility, preventing injuries and correcting posture issues. It’s also helped me identify lifestyle issues that affect all of the above. I take a great deal of pride in the service I provide and pay a lot of attention to detail. I am not the kind of trainer who will stand by and watch a client perform an exercise badly, risk injury or slowly wearing their joints out. Likewise, if a client is training well but eating terribly I am not going to ignore it. Not only would it be morally wrong for me to ignore these things, it would also make more work for me in the future. After all, I am hoping every client stays with me as long as possible. I therefore, have a vested interest in keeping my clients healthy and injury free.  I obviously want to avoid people causing themselves problems years down the line that I will then have to help them fix. An injured, unhealthy client also doesn’t make for a very good advert! I tailor the exercise to suit the capabilities of the client and scale it accordingly. If a client is unable to perform an exercise properly we look at the reasons why. This could mean restoring range of motion in a particular joint or muscle or scaling an exercise back to make it more achievable. Likewise, if an exercise isn’t challenging enough for a client I scale it up and increase the difficulty. This process of continual progress assessment and monitoring is constant yet organic. Exercise is adapted as required and every clients exercise program is rewritten every 8 weeks to stop things getting stale. When it comes to personal training, you can train 10+ clients per day using a generic ‘one size fits all’ approach or you can work with a smaller number of people and provide a truly tailored service. I choose the latter. Chris Burrows Personal Trainer. Testimonials Click Here To Read What My Clients Say Recent Blog Posts Why do I have back pain?

Chris has helped me lose near 20kg whilst training with him; and he has helped with my posture and exercise form. He is extremely knowledgeable with many exercises and rehabilitation. When I initially started I was overweight and low in confidence. However, this all changed once I had the opportunity to train with Chris. I now feel completely confident in all aspects of life and I am so much more healthier. He has helped change my life around for the better and I couldn't recommend him enough. Definitely the best personal trainer in the Hampshire.

I can honestly say that coming to train with Chris was one of the most positive decisions of my life. I started my initial assessment with a list of postural issues the length of my arm and a shoulder impingement that meant I couldn't lift that arm above my head without acute pain; eighteen months later and my posture is better than it has ever been and I can crank out a couple of dozen pull-ups, something that was unimaginable when I started - at the time I honestly just wanted my shoulder not to hurt anymore! Chris does far more than falls under the usual umbrella of a personal trainer: the initial assessment alone reassured me that I was in safe hands but then the following sessions also included nutritional advice and monitoring which helped me lose 7% body fat and maintain my new weight, soft tissue massage that relieved postural pain and helped restore normal movement patterns in my shoulders, and regular changes to exercise plans ensuring my body was kept guessing and progressing physically as a result - the sessions were always just at the sharp edge of what I am capable of! The most helpful aspect for me in the long term is the amount of knowledge that Chris has about human physiology and how to make effective long-term changes to one's physical health and fitness, and the effort he goes to to impart that knowledge. I have learnt so much about how to train effectively, maintain a healthy body, and also how to self treat common aches and pains that I would have just ignored before, which undoubtedly lead to the problems I had in the first place! If you're looking for someone to help you make meaningful longterm changes to your health and fitness then Chris is definitely your man!

In Chris you don’t just get a trainer who stands there and ‘spots’ you, who get someone whose knowledge of nutrition and the body means he is able to help with whatever goals you have, and advise accordingly. He looks at things you may not even have thought about, in a year all my posture problems were sorted. He is friendly and professional, and pushes you hard but in a sneaky way, without you realising it at the time (instead of just shouting at you like some trainers!) The private gym is well equipped and means in an hour you can get a really good workout without waiting for equipment.

You will get much more than just an workout program if you choose to sign up with Chris. The knowledge he will teach you about your own body and how to best look after it will last you a life time. Have wasted a lot time with nhs physio's and doctors and got nowhere in the past. Chris was able to diagnose and help fix problems that i had, and even some i didn't know i had. What you will learn in his sessions will not only get you fit, lose weight, gain strength etc but allow you to live a pain free active life for the rest of your days.

I have been training with Chris for over 9 years and he has changed my whole outlook on training and diet. I had spent years feeling like an ‘overweight skinny’ person and needed to change. I gave up smoking and started my new health regime with Chris at the helm. I am now on the slippery slope to 40, but feel at my physical peak, gaining over a stone in muscle and being at a consistent 16-18% body fat (originally 23%). I spent years as a kid with back problems due to my bad posture - Chris soon spotted the problem and gave me the relevant program and exercises to correct it. I have to say, I have not had back problems for years and I’ve almost forgotten ever having them !! He also nursed me through a dislocated shoulder and, thanks to his patience and knowledge of the human anatomy, got me back to good health in no time. I have always been embarrassed about training in front of other people, so his own private gym is perfect for me. Chris is an expert in his field and is constantly pushing himself to learn more in order for him to help his clients and others. I can’t imagine not training with Chris, he is just part of my lifestyle now … and I look forward to many healthy years ahead with him. Jamie
