Spot reduction is not real – many people think if I do 10,00 crunches they will have abs but in reality the only way possible for your abs to show through is by being in a caloric deficit (burning more calories than you consume)

Client testimonial(s)

“I am delighted with my results so far. I have lost 7kg and feel full of energy. Taylor’s fitness programme is easy to follow and tailored to your individual needs and goals. I would highly recommend signing up for his personal training programmes—I am so happy I did. Thank you, Taylor—here’s to a healthier future!” – Thomas

“Before I started training with Taylor, my mobility was quite limited due to a previous injury caused by a leg press. After just a couple of weeks in my fitness journey, I can now deep squat very comfortably. My energy levels are at an all-time high, and my gym confidence has never been better. My foundations are now very solid, and I am really excited to see what the next few weeks will bring.” – Susan

“I have been following Taylor’s programme for the past 5 weeks and have managed to lose 10kg. It is a very easy-to-follow fitness programme, with all exercise videos included. It’s great to be able to ask questions whenever needed and have a trainer who truly wants the best for you. This system has completely changed my outlook on training.” – Kian

 

Bio of Taylor

What drives me as a personal trainer is the opportunity to help people both mentally and physically every single day. Whether it’s during classes or on the gym floor, I love connecting with people and sharing my experience in fitness and wellness. We have an incredible team across all clubs – it feels more like a family than a workplace.

Why I became a Personal Trainer

My health has always been the main reason behind my journey into fitness. I have lived with Crohn’s disease since the age of 5, and throughout my life I have faced both physical and mental challenges because of it. In 2019, I underwent major surgery that gave me the chance to reset my life. After recovering, I became passionate about learning more about anatomy, physiology, nutrition, and movement. My goal was to become the best version of myself—something I had struggled to achieve before. That’s when I decided to qualify as a personal trainer and dedicate my career to helping others, especially those facing similar challenges, through both in-person coaching and online fitness programmes.

Training Style & Fitness Philosophy

I focus on building strong foundations rather than chasing quick results. Moving correctly and safely is a top priority in my coaching. I enjoy all aspects of fitness, but I specialize in hypertrophy training (muscle building) and high-intensity cardio sessions, including spin classes. My approach is structured, sustainable, and tailored to each individual.

Typical Results

My clients develop strong fundamentals and master the basics of training, allowing them to perform everyday tasks with greater ease and confidence. I also help clients create a healthy balance between fitness, work, and home life—ensuring long-term, sustainable results.
