“If you’re looking for a knucklehead, shouty PT look elsewhere. Tristan has used his considerable knowledge to empathetically rescue an old crock that was headed for the rocks of late middle aged decrepitude. I cannot recommend him more.” – Jonathan
“I started training with Tristan in 2017 when I realised that spending time and money on monthly visits to an osteopath was only masking my issues, rather than addressing and fixing them. Motivation to train isn’t something that comes easy to me but over the years I’ve grown to really appreciate what resistance training does to improve my health both mentally and physically. The opening of ESL in 2022 has further improved my training experience by providing me with a private place to train, using clean and quality equipment.” – Olivia
Having avoided any form of exercise and allowed myself to get totally unfit and very overweight, I realised I was in the last chance saloon and needed serious intervention. Tristan encouraged and worked with me to get me moving through a combination of resistance training, cardio & thorough injury rehabilitation. From struggling even to sit on an exercise bike, I now comfortably complete 80km per week. The work that Tristan has done with me has greatly improved my mobility and made everyday tasks far more enjoyable.” – Iain
“When Tristan took me on I had two completely finished knees, a useless thumb and recurring back pain. He prepared an individual programme that built up a solid pre-op foundation for my knee replacements. My consultant commented that he had rarely seen such good pre-op preparation. Tristan advised a private physio to work with post-operatively and consulted with him closely throughout the rehab process of both knees in order to “leave no stone unturned”. A few years on and years of training under my belt, I am now living a fuller more enhanced life, no back pain, two titanium knees that work better than the original knees and the ability to use my thumb normally. I continue to train with Tristan, now in the fantastic facility that is ESL! Tristan continues to help drive my progression with the same passion as day one and with a vastly increased wealth of knowledge & experience. With Tristan’s dedication to continually evaluate and push my improvement, I am able to do things I never thought I’d ever do again. Thank you Tristan, you are truly an Exercise Scientist.” – Yvonne
“Aged 55, I wanted to get fitter and stronger but did not know where to start. Tristan listened and worked with me to develop a program that has enabled me to achieve the goals that we set together. Skiing is now a joy and my fitness, strength and well being is exceeding all my original expectations.” – Vicky
“I came to Tristan a few years ago with the aim of gaining strength and mobility for Golf & Cricket, whilst also wanting to address chronic back pain. A few years on, I have gained a huge amount of strength, with Tristan always tailoring sessions and programming towards transferring this into my sport. We have addressed my back pain head on, assessing the rationale behind it and therefore how to rectify it for good. I recently achieved a big milestone deadlift of 200kg, not just for a single rep, but for 3, completely pain and symptom free. ESL is a fantastic facility, the coaching and care is second to none. It’s great to be a part of such an unique community of people.” – Will
“Tristan is by far the most knowledgeable fitness professional I have met, and the way this knowledge is delivered through his fresh and considered approach is a real breadth of fresh air. No quirks or fads, but a true, honest and collaborative approach backed up by science and hard facts.” – Lawrence
“From my point of view, the support of you guys is brilliant. I’m not a very fit person, but I feel John is doing a fabulous job in trying to get me there. He’s very friendly and knowledgeable and also pushes you, which is something I need. I would recommend these guys. They care, which seems rare these days.” – Janet
“Since the opening of ESL, I’ve become totally motivated by Tristan to benefit the most I can, both mentally and physically, from his dedicated and inspiring attitude. As the years advance more swiftly than I’d like, it’s paramount to build my strength to enable my level of mobility and fitness to not deplete. This can happen all so easily to a woman. Tristan focuses on every aspect of my particular circumstances, building strength where it is most required. His approach is superb , adaptive and totally specific to the individual. His immense scientific knowledge, gained particularly from his research degree is not only inspiring, but enables him to offer huge insight, resulting in the structuring of bespoke programmes for every client. Along with all the above, comes a peaceful and calming approach of such a young and dedicated professional.” – Julie
