Testimonials

Jonathan Ashley

I’d been overweight and unhappy with the way I looked for a couple of years, but when I turned 30 I decided that now was the time to do something about it.

For me just losing weight wasn’t going to be enough, I wanted to get fit. I chose Stewart after reading some great testimonials and he’s met and exceeded all of my expectations. As well as being friendly, Stewart is very motivating and I get results with him that I’d never be able to by myself.

I never thought I’d enjoy exercising, or achieve such great results. In less than 4 months I’d lost 16kg and gone from just about squeezing into 34inch waste jeans to being comfortable in 30inch.

Before getting in contact with SMPT I lacked the motivation to work towards my fitness and body goals. Realising this had to change I signed up with SMPT and Kate took me under her wing!

From day one I felt completely comfortable being trained by Kate and I absolutely love our sessions! I always leave feeling completely exhausted yet on top of the world!

Kate's passion for what she does shines through and her enthusiasm is contagious. The progress I've made training with her in such a short space of time is just incredible and beyond what I ever thought I could achieve. She always pushes me to be my very best with varied and intense workouts and she is my constant inspiration and motivator!

Can't recommend SMPT enough and I personally wouldn't have anyone else train me.

Alan & Keeley Skilbeck

Working with Tansy (SMPT) made us realise that training can be fun. We trained as a couple and this helped us push each other through sessions along with a vast amount of motivation from Tansy. The sessions while hard at times were always enjoyable and had the right amount of tough love. A constant change with exercises ensured that our interest was maintained and our workouts were always goal specific. We particularly enjoyed the HIIT activities and gained enough knowledge from Tansy to be able to continue training from home.

Michella Chalfun

After two years of dealing with serious lower back problems and being the unhealthiest & above my normal weight I decided I wanted to change my lifestyle.
I then came across Stewart's website and seeing what he has achieved and his whole work ethic I decided to join SMPT.
It was the best decision of my life! Not only have I lost weight and gained some muscles, my lower back issues has improved 95% and I feel so much stronger & happier.

Stewart has always been there if I had any questions or needed advice. He really inspires me and is a truly fantastic professional.

I'm now pregnant and I'm still training with Stewart to make sure I'm the healthiest, fittest and strongest I’ve ever been before the baby comes.

I would recommend Stewart to anyone who is ready for a challenge. With some well structured hard work you will definitely see the results coming through.

Glen Gulley

Tansy is a great personal trainer who is motivating and inspiring. She is very quick to pick up individual strengths and weaknesses and provides a very tailored fitness structure to suit you. Having worked with her for a number of months now, my strength and fitness levels are well beyond where I'd ever in envisaged them being and by far the best bit is watching your body change shape over time.
All in all she's a great person to work with.

Erica Fortune

I've always based my gym routine on cardio workouts yet struggled to recognise any positive changes in my body. I was becoming bored and unmotivated, so turned to Stewart for guidance.

Stewart has coached me to use body resistance and weights in training, something as a female I was previously intimidated by. All I can say is I wish I had started this style of workout sooner, as after just 2 months I am already seeing my body transform.

Stewart is a dedicated and encouraging trainer with a friendly nature and I immediately felt at ease working with him. Each week Stewart pushes me to do things I would never believe my body could achieve as well as providing great nutritional tips.

Megan Adlen

I can't recommend the SMPT team highly enough. A couple of years ago I decided I wanted to lose weight and get fit and wanted to kick start the process with a personal trainer. I chose SMPT as I liked what I read on their website and the fact that they trained in their own studio (I wasn't keen on struggling red-faced in the early days in front of a packed gym). Stewart was so encouraging and a great support. I trained with him 2 or 3 days a week for around 5 months and stuck to his nutritional guidance and in that time lost 3 stone! I managed to dead lift 100kg (I'm only small too!) and got close to a strict pull up (I'll keep working on that). Stewart persuaded me to sign up to Tough Mudder with other clients which gave us all a big goal to work towards - I never thought I'd say this, but I loved it! Besides being great trainers, SMPT are a really friendly bunch. If you're after results you'll get them with SMPT, and have fun doing it.

Pete Greensmith

My 'before and after' pictures are 6 months apart, the first one was taken in September at the start of my journey, the last one was taken in March.
I worked hard around maintaining my nutrition as well as my cardio and strength building exercise. This included doing sessions at the gym outside of my PT sessions and running.

Stuart Nash

When Stewart and I met I was in a terrible condition. With his superb guidance, I lost 4 stone transforming my confidence and attitude to training and my own daily lifestyle. Three years on, thanks to Stewart this has been sustained and I have never looked back. I would highly recommend SMPT to anyone.

Anna-Sophie Bourree

I have known Kate as a friend for the past 4 years, so when I decided, to get more into fitness, it was an easy decision for me, to reach out to her for help and guidance.
Kate is very passionate about fitness and nutrition and is living proof of hard work and discipline paying off.
She encouraged me to go above and beyond my limits, showing me that it's more than ok, to lift heavier weights as a girl, without fearing to bulk up.
At times, when I thought and felt, I could not do it anymore, Kate encouraged me to keep going. I participated in a 10k run followed by a half marathon the year after. Something, I could never have imagined doing, if someone would have asked me a couple of years ago. I built up my stamina through a set routine and exercise, which Kate put together for me and which I am able to continue to use in the gym.
There were sessions with a lot of swearing and sweat but the results only come with pain, endurance, working hard and believing in yourself.
I am very grateful for Kate showing me, what my body is capable of and always pushing me to the next level. I would not hesitate in recommending SMPT to anyone else, who is looking to not just get fitter but also leaner and healthier in addition to embracing good food.

Sophie Abell

Stewart has not only improved my fitness and helped me to shed 20 pounds and a total of 38 inches from my body in just 2 months, but has drastically enhanced my self esteem, and given me confidence in who I am, which has consequently changed my life and health for the better. I cannot thank him enough for the positive impact he has had on my life.

Anneka Kapur

In terms of a testimonial I just want to say that Kate is not only a professional dedicated personal trainer but also a friend. She is personable, approachable and her drive and passion makes you want to train harder every session!

James Layzell

I was turning 18 years old and knew I had to get my act together. I found Stewart online and we arranged a consultation. Stewart told me to concentrate on moving more and introduced simple dietary changes. As a result I lost over 5 stone. I'm delighted! I couldn't recommend SMPT enough.

Dave Purton

I cannot recommend Stewart highly enough. The change to my body and life over the last couple of years has been immense, to a degree that I didn't think was possible (I look forward to what gains the next year will bring).

Matthew Thomson

I contacted Stewart to see if he could help me. I split from my girlfriend and decided to focus on myself. I saw Stewart three times per week and within three months I had totally transformed my body.
I was disciplined, but didn't stop enjoying myself on the weekends. I replaced beers with spirits and stopped eating processed rubbish. Small changes, big difference!

Rob Briginshaw

Stewart Milne is an inspirational personal trainer, with exceptional knowledge and understanding in his arena of work. I was considerably impressed with his level of support throughout my journey, beginning with the evaluation of my personal fitness, right through to helping me achieve my own personalised fitness goals.

Andy Stranks

I only have good things to say about working with Stewart. If you are looking for a personal trainer then look no further than SMPT. If you are prepared to follow his sound advice, you will get results.

Stacy Stranks

The progress I have made in a short time with Stewart is so much more than I expected. Every week I feel I’m achieving something new which wouldn’t be possible without the encouragement and drive that Stewart brings. There’s no way I would’ve had a fraction of the results I have without Stewart, I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Gary Simpson

I have had two personal trainers during the last five years and what I think sets Stewart above the rest is his ability to get to know you properly and work with your weaknesses as well as your strengths.

Chris Maffey

I went to Stewart for nutritional and training tips. I followed his advice and got the results I wanted.
He taught me to prep my food and this made things so much easier.
I'd recommend SMPT to anyone.

Gary Mancini

I used to work with Stewart at Kirtons Farm hotel gym.
I had a career change and that wasn't the only change. I became very sedentary and started piling on the pounds. I knew I had to get in contact.
Working with Stewart for only a few months got me back in shape.
When I used to work with him, you could always see his passion for the gym.
I'd recommend my good friend, Stewart to anyone.

Chris Pieper

Stewart gave me some nutritional advice and recommended certain exercises I could do at home so I didn’t have to go to the gym. Within a week I started to feel the difference. The combination of exercise and good nutrition really has taken me to the next level.

Ashley Scott

I turned to Stewart to help me get my 6-pack back. He gave me core exercises to do at home and certain lifts to do in the gym. He visited me every other week to go over nutrition.
Within 6 weeks I had my 6-pack back.

Sheila Carswell

Stewarts guidance through workouts and nutrition helped me to achieve and surpass my goals way beyond what I thought I could achieve! The hard work we put in was always a lot of fun and Ive thoroughly enjoyed working with him so far. Knowledge is power and I've gained a confidence and belief from what I've learnt from Stewart to be able to set my own personal goals and achieve them.

Steve Pearce

I used to struggle with confidence when exercising. My ankles were very weak and stopped me doing things I loved.
Stewart helped me gain confidence with my ankles and now I do a lot of trekking.
Stewart’s enthusiasm, commitment and vast amount of fitness and dietary knowledge will ensure that with your dedication, he will deliver the fastest possible results.

Daniel Pearce

I had a knee injury whilst playing football and not long after, started putting weight on. I turned to Stewart for guidance.
We worked on rehab for around 4 weeks. After that we started fitness training and working on nutrional improvements.
12 weeks in total, I was back playing football and the knee felt great.

Louise Pearce

I signed up with Stewart for his 3 month promotion, and now I’m not turning back. I’ve seen the most amazing results. I strongly recommend Stewart Milne Personal Training to anybody who wants results quickly.

Janice Milne

Listening to my son’ (Stewart) advice on nutrition made all the difference for me. I’m unable to do loads of activity so eating better was the best option for me.
I have weekly weigh ins at Weight Watchers to help keep me on track.
I have lost 5 stone, 8 pounds through eating healthier and I feel I can lose even more in the near future.

Danika Breadmore

Working with Stewart was fun as well as hard work. He helped me lose weight and introduced me to better eating habits.
We worked on strength and fitness and not long after starting with Stewart I went on to complete the Grim Challenge.
I now go Crossfit and without Stewart's help it wouldn't of been possible.
