Pete Gawtry with client James Cook in the studio — verified 5-star Google review Verified Google review
★★★★★

"I started training with Pete in April 2025. Whilst I'm a keen runner I avoided strength training and had a poor diet. I turned up overweight and out of shape with no core, dodgy shoulders and a torn meniscus. I look forward to my sessions every week and continuing the good work. Thanks Pete!"

"Pete has changed my life! I'm down 2 stone and counting 16 weeks in. I'm not stopping until I reach my goal! He's given me the discipline and accountability I needed in a completely non-judgemental and supportive environment."

"I've had good PTs in the past who were personable, pushed me hard and got results. Take all of those, add them together, times by 10 and you're still well short of the mighty Pete Gawtry. Since starting a couple of years ago I've put on a massive amount of muscle — I'm in the best shape of my life."

"Pete is a fantastic trainer, ultimately making me enjoy exercising and training. He also gives general health and lifestyle tips, not just focusing on 'quick fixes'. Going to Pete keeps us consistent and accountable without feeling any pressure."

"Extremely pleased with my 12-week transformation — nearly a stone and a half lost, more toned than I have been in 20 years, healthier and sleeping better. The accountability, encouragement and support are brilliant. I cannot recommend Pete highly enough!"

"Pete is the best!!! If you need a personal trainer who'll have your best interests at heart — from food plan and nutrition advice to a training plan that suits your needs, age, strengths and ability — he's your guy. I'd highly recommend him! Oushhhh legend."

"Motivation, understanding and determination — Pete and his clients work wonders. After years of inactivity the first sessions were hard, but with Pete's encouragement I became fitter and stronger than ever. In a year I lost well over two stone and dropped from a 40 waist to a 32. No shame on the beach!"

"Pete is brilliant at what he does. The sessions paired with the nutrition plan really work — and when habits slip he helps me get straight back into routine. Encouraging, but he'll give you that much-needed reality check when required. Good craic too — and he lets you pick the tunes for your sesh! Would highly recommend."
