I can’t recommend Chris highly enough as a personal trainer.

Chris has an excellent ability to really listen to your goals and then personalise a plan that feels achievable and motivating. What truly sets Chris apart is strongly understanding of the challenges that come with a demanding working life. Training and goals are thoughtfully planned around your schedule, rather than expecting you to fit your life around the training.

This flexible, supportive approach has made a huge difference to my progress and consistency. Chris is professional, encouraging, and genuinely invested in helping you succeed, and I would happily recommend Chris to anyone looking for a personal trainer who truly understands real-life pressures.

So, 4 weeks of training in and WOW, feel great, weight falling off and now got my mojo back for running too....thanks Chris.....

Chris is very knowledgeable and experienced and I have noticed a significant improvement in my fitness and abilities in only a few weeks. He is approachable and understanding to those new to fitness and his programmes help you push yourself while still enjoying the process

Excellent tuition and feel so positive afterwards.

I've been on my weight loss journey from mid-2025 and had active lifestyle by the time I reached out to Chris for help on strength training. I'm a reluctant gym goer and felt need for in-person coaching and guidance on my journey.

Chris has been all I was hoping for as a fitness guide. Apart from having me enjoy strength training, Chris is providing me great insights and guidance on daily calorie & nutrition management. Chris has a wonderful calm and steady but highly effective coaching approach which I really like and would strongly recommend to anyone who might be starting their fitness journey or anyone who is trying to improve overall health & fitness in general.

Thanks Chris for all your help thus far.

I made the decision to have Chris as my PT because I always found a reason to prioritise other things or people over my fitness routine. I was in a hamster wheel of starting my “routine” one day and by the next it was out of the window! Chris has given me structure, accountability and a personalised regime. His knowledge and experience is broad and encompasses all areas to bring about real lifestyle change. The results I have after even a few weeks are incredible. I feel stronger, fitter, accomplished and driven to continue.

Would highly recommend and have had a fantastic experience with all aspects of Chris’ coaching. Have certainly noticed a huge difference, physically and mentally. Very approachable if you don’t understand something and no judgement, doesn’t really get better than that from a coach.

I've been training with Chris since the summer after having multiple surgeries and he has given me my confidence back and teaching me how to take back control of my life simplifying what others have made so complicated im grateful for his guidance and support not just in the gym but around food, my mental health and healing.

Chris has been a great PT, supporting and training me to achieve my targets so far. Weight loss, getting fitter and stronger. Has given excellent nutrition advice too and helping me plan and focus on certain macros. I look forward to carrying on working with him to continue reaching my longer term goals.

Chris changed my world. I was living on cup a soup. Now, I eat proper meals but am toned, confident and have a better mentality. I no longer diet and exercise. I eat and train. I have lost inches, and I am so much happier with my body, which has reflected in my mental health. 5 years on, I am stronger, fitter and feel amazing! My view and understanding of food and fitness has changed dramatically and I am so much happier! Chris trains you hard but every moment is worth it. I have had Personak training and join in the classes. All are enjoyable and I never leave without aching and feeling I have made a difference to myself. Thank you Chris for helping me be a new me!

Chris is excellent - went through my plan in detail and made it easy and simple to follow will highly recommend!

Chris takes time to understand your individual needs and tailors a bespoke plan suited to you. Very happy with my results!

Great boot camps, fun and physical with plenty of variations.

I highly recommend Chris. He has been supportive and understanding of my needs as both a full-time working professional and a mother. He has taken into account my schedule and responsibilities, creating a plan that is tailored to my life making it both realistic and effective.

Great experience. Feeling more toned and managing to increase the amount of exercise I do every week. Would recommend!

Chris has helped me for several years especially helping me get back into shape after having children. He gives sound and practical advice that is realistic for my situation and also sustainable given the demands of 4 children.

Had a great experience with Chris. His knowledge of health and fitness is mind blowing. There wasn't a question I asked around fitness and mental health that he couldn't answer. The coaching and advice I received helped me bring balance and consistency to my workouts. I felt no pressure to stay with Chris once I reached my goals and he was always mentally present during our 1-2-1 sessions. I'd recommend him and will use Kellys Coaching in the future.

Chris has been nothing short of amazing, with helping me with my fitness goals. His training methods and understanding of my strengths snd weaknesses can’t be underestimated. With his passion and drive to help me succeed I will be forever grateful. Thank you and let’s smash 2025

Chris is amazing! He understands that life can get a little crazy, so he works with you to create a routine that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle. With his constant support and motivation, staying on track feels easier. You can tell he’s truly passionate about what he does, and if you’re looking for a coach who genuinely cares, you won’t regret choosing Chris!

Been working with Chris for a few weeks now, found the structure and routine really helpful. Chris is very good at keeping me accountable and checks in most days to ask how I’m feeling. He is also very good at celebrating my wins and achievements.

Kelly’s Coaching has been a game changer for me and given the motivation and accountability I needed to be successful with my fitness goals. The fitness plan set challenges me every session and makes progressing enjoyable and less daunting in the gym. Chris himself is always on hand when you have a question or to give you some spirit when needed. As a personal trainer he is knowledgable and motivational but also puts your fitness fears at ease. The app used is also really good to help track not only your weight, measurements and progress photos but also your workouts! It helps track your previous performance so you can follow your PBs. It also has really useful features such as timer and example meal plans that are available. I would highly recommend Kelly’s Coaching to be apart of anyone’s fitness journey! 5 stars *****

I recently used Chris for some online coaching to provide me with some advice after some ongoing back problems (lower disc herniation). Chris was extremely knowledgeable, listened to my history and provided a clear programme to follow to help me get back to normal activities. He regularly checked in to ensure I was on track and was always there if I needed help or had any questions. I'd highly recommend Chris if you are either looking for an experienced PT or if you want to go down the online coaching route.

Great guy, solid methodology, tells you as it is. 6 months in and Chris has helped me tone up, improve my fitness and strength as well. Bonus: I'm getting compliments from the ladies too! Give him a call if you want the same!

I can't recommend Chis enough! My attitude towards exercise has changed and I love it! Chis is extremely motivating, supportive & amazing at what he does. If you are looking for help with your fitness journey then Chris is your man. The training environment is welcoming and very relaxed, I wouldn't go anywhere else!

Chris is a very understanding and knowledgable coach who genuinely has my goals and health at the forefront of what we do. I really enjoy working with Chris.

Absolutely amazing Online Coach. Chris has helped me achieve top level results. Would recommend to anyone who wants results.

I would highly recommend Chris as a personal trainer. Flexible, understanding and a bespoke approach to helping me lose weight and reshape my body composition. Very good at holding me accountable and pushing me along on my fitness journey. High recommend!

Great PT, very experienced and helped us as a family to keep fit and active.

I would highly recommend Chris as a personal trainer. Chris’ approach is not limited to purely physical training, instead he advocates a holistic approach, which also focuses on nutrition and mental well-being. Chris is incredibly supportive on all my fitness and health endeavours, and I can only thank him for his ongoing support over the years.

Great PT, great support, knowledge and experience. Would highly recommend

Safe place to start if you want to change your lifestyle.

Thank you Chris, the first time I have ever been with a pt who has kept me on track and enjoying fitness. Explains everything in a way that you just click with nothing fancy but it really works.

I’ve been with Kelly’s coaching (online) for around 3 months now. Firstly to note he got back to my enquiries super quickly, is friendly and help me get set up. Secondly he worked on a plan to suit me and then with support and guidance I can’t believe how far I’ve come since then! Very patient and listens/helps with being less knowledgeable about fitness/nutrition. Hard enough to start with that it’s a challenge without being over complicated. My workouts are tailored to my needs. As a busy mum I have to work it around family and this has given me a new lease of life. I’m very thankful to Kelly’s coaching and excited to see in the long term where I will be!

Having recently started my second ten session PT programme with Chris, I have nothing but high praise for his service. I’ve been on many fitness/weight loss attempts in the past but Chris has really tailored a programme to meet my needs. He has helped me on my journey, making tweaks on the way when unexpected things have popped up and been a constant support. His methods were easily adapted to my lifestyle and have become part of my daily life. Chris doesn’t pile on the pressure but gives lots of encouragement whilst passing on his knowledge. I’m already planning for round 3!

It was my first time this evening trying Kelly’s Coaching “Meto Warrior” Bootcamp and I definately got way more from it than expected. Christopher’s method has totally changed what I though about health and fitness. A short 45 minute intense workout is perfect for my busy lifestyle but I’m still getting maximum results. Can’t wait for the next one! Hooked!

Meeting and hearing about what Chris does had me thinking about my career, my future and of course how I felt on a day to day basis. I am a tall person, 6ft 3 to be precise, and have always been of a bigger build. But being an artist in the public eye means I always have to look as good as I can, be as healthy as I can and feel as good as I can as much as possible. So I met Chris, and got things underway. Within 3 months I lost 3 stone. This completely turned my life around. My knowledge of food grew, my knowledge of working out and balancing my lifestyle grew, all because Chris was able to sit down, talk to me and explain what I was capable of. He’s been by my side ever since and I have managed to maintain my healthy lifestyle through VERY demanding periods of my life. I can’t recommend Chris enough. If you want to change your life, then look no further.

I first met Chris in May 2013, nervous, and in need of some help to get healthier. Chris tailored a nutrtion plan and training plan that worked for me straight away. The great thing was that it was not a “one size fits all” plan, he took the time to find out what I liked, disliked, found easy, found hard, what my goals and targets were and why I had set those goals and targets. He then helped me achieve them one by one. Having only spent 4 months training with Chris I feel better, healthier, I look better and healthier and most importantly I feel happier with myself, I feel motivated to achieve things I hadn’t been able to before. He was able to find my confidence and he helped me to become more disciplined in training, in work, in pretty much everything actually! Thanks Chris. I would highly recommend you!!

Having Chris Kelly work closely with you as a Personal Trainer and Life Coach really does benefit your life on many levels. With his constant support and guidance I am well on my way to becoming a “new BETTER me” or as Chris puts it the way my body should be. The workouts I do with Chris are fun, they push my body and I see the results – you can do the same too! Get in touch with Chris and let him help you change your life. I fully recommend Chris at Kelly’s Coaching and of course wish him and his clients continued success.

I have been training with Chris for a while now and really enjoy the sessions. Chris takes the time to get to know you, how your life works and most importantly what you want – whether that is to get fit or lose weight etc. He then tailors the sessions to work for you, there is the right amount of information (but not too much or too technical), encouragement and pushing you to better yourself. I have gone from not doing any exercise to bootcamps and loving the gym and boxing, my diet is definitely better than when I started (admittedly I am not 100% good…yet….but Chris is always on hand to keep me on track) and I am seeing the kind of results I want and I know will be maintainable because he promotes a lifestyle change through hard work and good nutrition (and not the latest fad diet). I would highly recommend Chris to anyone who is thinking they need to start exercising but keep putting it off or think ‘they don’t have enough time’ – he will soon show you otherwise!

I’ve been working with Chris for over year now, and the results have been better than expected. Chris has a wide range of skills and can adapt to most training demands, however you’ll need to be vocal in those goals and work with Chris to achieve them. I moved away from the typical personal training regimes and into boxing with Chris. This is for me one of the best training sessions I’ve had the pleasure of attending. The skills Chris brings to each session are varied and challenging and I’m always pushing for more. When I finish one of these sessions and Chris has pushed me, I feel great. Chris is flexible and understands the pressure of modern life and modern work. I thoroughly enjoy our sessions together and have and do recommend Chris to friends. The addition of the website and regular Facebook and Twitter feeds is a gentle reminder to keep you on track for your goals. The past 12 months have seen me lose a Stone and to be considerably more toned. I look forward to the next 12 with Chris and Kelly’s Coaching.

I have always believed in personal training and have had a mixed bag of results over the years. Chris is currently my personal trainer and I am sure will continue to be for some considerable time to come. Every trainer adopts different tactics but this is the first time that I have felt a genuine approach from someone who doesn’t recommend new fads and diets. Good healthy nutrition plus hard work in my training sessions is Chris’s approach – it works! I have already dropped a dress size and more importantly feel healthier and fitter than I have in quite some time. Chris is honest, tough and consistent in his method. I have already recommended another client to Chris and would highly recommend him to others.

Since joining Chris’s online coaching I have not only been eating better, but I have started some real exercise and am looking better in 2 short months.
