Finding a Personal Trainer is not as simple as tapping away into Google search. You need to make sure you ‘click’ with your new trainer, as well as trust that they have your best interests at heart to share your passion in reaching your fitness goals.

Like myself, being located in London means there is vast competition in the search to find your best match, in fact it would perhaps be easier with a ‘Tinder’ like app to help you find your ideal PT match! As there are so many in London, I have focussed on some of my competitors based within the area I operate in, Bermondsey.
