I’ve been training with Derek since July 2021. I even think I was one of his first, if not his first, PT client! And I’ve stuck with him from day one – even after he left our old gym and set up his own operation. 

I was referred to Derek to address long-term back issues, and the trainings that he’s thoughtfully put me through have prevented those back issues from recurring. So it’s not a tick-the-box exercise for him but very much a tailored approach depending on your needs and goals. Unfortunately, I’ve had a number of tick-the-box trainers in the past and am now relieved to be training with Derek. Bonus points for being humorous and personable too!

I initially began training with Derek after my doctor advised me to exercise more. Derek has helped make great improvements to my strength, and my balance and movement has improved immensely. The sessions are full-on but pitched at the right level, well balanced between different routines and challenges while retaining a high level of attention to detail and technique. He places a high value on correct form, and for someone who rarely goes to the gym, Derek made each session fun yet worthwhile and gives a lot of encouragement. His personality, knowledge and interest in his clients as people, develop a sense of trust. Thank you for working with me in getting my goal of staying healthier at a level far beyond what I thought I can be.

Derek has been guiding me through my rehabilitation from a ruptured disc in my lower back for over two years. At the beginning I was unable to drive and now I'm working towards getting back into skiing. Derek is very knowledgeable of lower back issues and has been careful with me while still building up the strength of surrounding muscle groups. He is open to new ideas, accomodating and easy to get along with. It is a pleasure working with him.

I have been training with Derek for a few months now and he has been committed to help me achieve my fitness goals. As a sports person, I have been accustomed to training at the gym, but never realised the importance  of specific movements and exercises that are tailored to sport. Derek, with his unique training methods and exercise selection,  introduced me to the these finer nuances. Training with Derek has not only improved my conditioning, but also enhanced my performance on the cricket field. He is an expert in what he does and has a lot of knowledge to offer. He has been able to train me through my injuries and adapt his training style based on what my body requires. The mere down sight of training with Derek is that he secretly loves watching you in pain whilst crushing your legs during Bulgarian Split Squats, but the results you see with him make it all worth it. For anyone looking for sports specific, mobility, injury-free and movement training, Derek is undoubtedly your guy!

Training with Derek has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health and fitness. Over the past year, his expertise, motivation, and personalized approach have helped me build strength, improve my overall health, and stay consistent with my workouts. He pushes me to challenge myself while ensuring proper form and technique, making every session effective and enjoyable. Thanks to his guidance, I’ve seen incredible progress in my muscle growth and endurance. I highly recommend Derek to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and results-driven trainer!

I’d recommend Derek to anyone who is looking to move better and for longer. He is very good at prescribe exercise that targets your weak movement pattern. He helped me recover from a chronic back pain that stop me from doing any sport for 2 years. Since then I was able to finish a couple marathons and a 100k mountain race.
