“I’ve been training with Cameron for almost a year and what a year it’s been. I had often thought of hiring a personal trainer, but I didn’t really know if it would be ‘for me’. Having been a member of Harridges for a couple of years, I had watched the care and attention Cameron put into each session with his clients, and decided to give it a go. I have the start of osteoarthritis and degenerating discs in my lower back. I wanted to get stronger to hopefully slow down the effects of both as I age and to avoid injuring myself in the gym. I hoped that Cameron would be able to come up with an exercise regime that would help. I also wanted to lose some weight, but fitness was my higher priority. What can I say, the last 11 months have been brilliant. I’m so much stronger - lifting and shifting weights that I would not have thought possible at the start. The NHS physical therapist that I saw for my back was very impressed and passed on his compliments to my personal trainer as the exercises Cameron had me doing were exactly what was needed. Following Cameron’s advice on nutrition, I’ve lost over 10 kg and even when my weight loss stalled a few times, I haven’t been tempted to go on some severe calorie restriction diet, because I know that slow and steady works. The most amazing part is that when I fell and broke my wrist at the end of July, my first thought was, “oh no – will I be able to get back to the gym?” Cameron reassured me that even people with one arm can train and he simply adjusted my program to work around the injury. Working with Cameron has changed my body and my mindset. Plus, the sessions are fun and he’s always checking in on non-training days just to help keep me motivated. 100% recommend. – Andrea Russell”
