Join my outdoor training sessions.
I run Couch to 5k running groups starting throughout the year. These are aimed at those who may never have run for fitness before and will build your running capacity up to the point where you can run 5 km non-stop. The program is very gradual but effective and is carried out in a safe off-road environment. We do our runs locally in Cholsey.

I run hour-long classes each week for those wishing to have a regular general all-round workout . The session covers cardio, strength and flexibility/balance and is aimed at people with only a normal level of fitness. There’s no need to book or pay in advance.
Most personal trainers work from a busy public gym, while some will visit you at home. I offer the best of both worlds as I work from a space that’s totally private but with all the equipment I need to deliver the session to meet your fitness needs. Personal Training in Cholsey, Didcot, Wallingford and South Oxfordshire. There’s no membership fee and my session rates are extremely competitive.
Lower back pain is one of the most common conditions among adults in the UK.
Between 10% and 15% suffering from it at any one time and up to 40% suffering from it each year. Forty to sixty year olds report it the most and the NHS spends around £1.5 billion each year treating it, while the cost to the economy has been estimated at £12 billion a year (2013 figures).
People who spend large parts of their day sitting down, commuting, & at work are at particular risk.
While those who are overweight or don’t take much exercise are also likely to suffer from the condition. Exercise is often cited as very effective for lower back pain, but with gyms and physiotherapy clinics closed during the coronavirus pandemic it can be very hard to find help right now.
Try my online lower back pain, exercise classes.
As a personal trainer with an additional qualification in exercise referral I’m qualified to ensure that exercise is a suitable route forward for your back pain and after a one to one introductory session over video conferencing you will join a class of no more than eight for a ten week program, also delivered via video. Each week we’ll go through exercises designed to strengthen the muscles in your core and I will give you a homework sheet of exercises and activities for each week.
The classes will be at 18.30 every Tuesday and last for about 50 minutes and the full 10 week program costs £75.00 with a 20% reduction for keyworkers.

Client Feedback.
“Would highly recommend the programme. Simon is knowledgeable, patient, enthusiastic and supportive. If you think you can't run, this will change your mind.”
— MarieLouise Kerr
“I’d never run before and can run for half an hour now quite happily. Thank you Simon. I had tried on my own a couple of times but never got past week 2, now on week 9. I'd really recommend this programme for anyone who thinks they can't run”
— Clare Cormack
“Highly recommend Simon's group. He's so encouraging and having everyone else is so supportive. You really CAN do it!”
