Testimonials

Charles Poliquin Strength Coach of Olympic medallists in 16 different sports and 100’s of elite athletes from the NHL and NFL – “when a country wants a gold medal they come to Charles”

“Nick Mitchell is certainly one of the best personal trainers that Europe has to offer. Besides walking the talk, his passion and enthusiasm, depth of experience, and ongoing commitment to continued education via the Poliquin International Certification Program keeps him at the forefront of the industry and I have no hesitation in referring anyone visiting the UK to be trained under his watchful experienced eye.”

Fitness Editor - Men's Health UK

I thought I was in pretty good shape until I started personal training with Nick – pain should be his middle name. He pushes me way beyond what I think I’m capable of - he’ll encourage me when needed, wind me up if necessary and sometimes downright piss me off but it works. The fact that my forty-year old frame graced the cover of Men’s Health is down to his encyclopaedic knowledge and no-nonsense training techniques. He’s the go-to guy if you want results. Cheers Nick!

Producer & TV Presenter

“I have been personal training with Nick Mitchell for over two years and it's thanks to his expertise, understanding and patience, that not only have I fully recovered from an ACL injury that I was told I wouldn't, but am healthier, fitter and leaner than I was 10 years ago. He taught me that it's not enough to love the body we're in but to respect it too.

Upon opening my agency I was approached by many personal trainers to work with my girls but I didn't hesitate to approach Nick to oversee the training of all the International campaign models whose livelihoods depend upon their looking their best at all times. He has excelled himself time and again to be the best of the best in his field.

So on behalf of myself, the agency (and our bank manager)...Thanks Nick!!!”

I try to ask them questions that test them but they have the answers for everything. Contest prep, bulking up, getting me down to below 5% body fat....if I have a secret weapon it’s based in London and praise the Lord a long way from most of my competition!”
