About
All I want is for my clients to enjoy & love fitness, I can sit here and write a lot about my experiences, levels of expertise & results, however that won’t be necessary. When we as people do things that we love & enjoy, we never stop. Let me help you create that atmosphere of dedication, self- accomplishments, constant goal-achieving & perseverance. I want my clients to come to the gym before/after work with the feeling of “Yes, This Is The Place Where I want to Build Myself, Not Only Physically But Mentally Too”.
Join me & together we can go to new heights.

A friend of mine recommended Andrew - I was able to explain what my goals are both in and out of the gym. He was able to provide suggestions of small tweaks that I can make in my life style to support a more balanced way of living. His communication was consistent and he ensured that what we were doing was in alignment with my goals. I’m happy that I lost weight during the short period of time I was working with him, but most importantly, I developed more confidence both in the gym and outside the gym. Definitely feel like having his input was a great investment in myself.
Thanks Andrew!

Thanks Andrew!
ACFITNESS Best trainer ever. As first timer in this fitness journey, Andrew covered everything! From Food, Mindset, good habits and motivation. I started as a novice now confident in the GYM. I will definitely recommend! Thank you so Much Andrew for everything.
Giselle
Andrew has been fantastic in both helping me build a solid foundation in lifting techniques aa well as cultivating an atmosphere that makes me want to continue going to the gym. He also guided me on how to have proper nutrition to maximize gains from the gym. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again.
Luay
I've loved Andrew working with me in helping achieve my weight loss. He is very motivating and definitely knows his stuff where fitness including nutrition is concerned. His advice is highly effective, in the gym I would usually restrict myself to a few of the equipments but having Andrew as a PT has given me so much confidence to work harder not just in the gym but at home too. Occasionally when he's running a little behind time he would always communicate and arrive shortly afterwards. I would definitely 💯 recommend ACF to everyone that requires weight loss and body conditioning with this PT. I am happy I made this choice as the results speaks for itself.
Janice
I really lacked direction in the gym and felt like I was not meeting my goals. I wanted to feel strong and develop my confidence. I love the programme he gave me and every one can see the results. I am looking forward to my keep fit journey. Thanks Andrew. I would highly recommend him .
Shirley
I’ve had Andrew for both in person and online training and I cannot recommend him enough! I started with knowing nothing about the gym and Andrew worked with me finding the best workout plan that suits me best. I always looked forward to our sessions because although they were intense, they were most importantly fun. I saw results quickly with following my diet plan and started to grow the courage to go at it alone. Highly professional, very motivational and above all, a great PT. If you’re a newbie or veteran at the gym I’m certain Andrew can help you with whatever your goal is. Big up ACFitness!
Joey
Andrew helped me to get started in the gym. He taught me exercises and how to use the machines and motivated me to live healthier.
Christian Dyssel
Had a great time training with Andrew. He is an easy-going person and also a good trainer. He knows how to adjust the weights and reps.
yancheng
Andrew is a very professional personal trainer, he improved my stance as I had issues with keeping my back straight whilst standing. He went through the resistance equipment to help me use them correctly as I wasn’t before. My nutrition intake is now on track also. Highly recommended personally trainer.
Angelina
Andrew has been my PT for the last 3 months and I have lost just over a stone with him! Andrew has motivated and pushed me to make changes in my lifestyle that have not just helped me physically but also mentally! I feel a lot more confident using the weights in the gym and this would have not been the case if it weren’t for Andrew! You have been more a life coach for me and it has honestly been an amazing experience! Thank you so much for the constant support & ‘affirmations’! Would definitely recommend Andrew - if your trying to lose weight and also wanting to be healthy. Andrew also makes sure to tailor my sessions to specific parts of my body where I want to tone up etc which has massively helped!

I wanted some direction to starting my workout program. Andrew evaluated me and my situation and came up with a challenging program that I could follow when the sessions started and ended.
I felt better, looked better and was inspired again after a short time. I was very impressed and had a great experience. Thank you Andrew 🙏🏾

Great PT Andrew gave me much needed direction coming back from an injury and trying to get myself back to top fitness and prevent injury again. Pushed me in the right direction with an eating plan that would help me get back to full fitness!
Many thanks!

Many thanks!
I have been to many gyms over the last few years trying to lose weight and get fit. Using weights in the gym has never been my thing, until i started training with Andrew. He was so good at teaching me how to use the weights, to get the results i wanted. Now i find the gym enjoyable He is very knowledgable, patient and has a great personality. I will definitely be using him again. Thank you for getting me started on my fitness journey.

I plan to return to training with him after a while!

I found Andrew via a recommendation of a friend.
I am so glad that I contacted him.

Andrew is extremely hardworking and always strives to get the utmost best from his clients. He has helped me so much with my journey to fitness and maintaining a better health. The programme fitness programme he wrote for me is very person-centred and based on my capabilities and strengths in achieving realistic goals. Andrew’s compassion for his work is seen from the very first time you meet him. He is a very social, charismatic young man who knows his profession inside out. I would recommend him 100% .
Ebere Omeje
I love working out with Andrew he motivates and challenges me in every session. He is dedicated to every client and his communication is excellent.

Andrew is a fantastic and dedicated trainer who gave me the confidence to use a gym - something I never imagined I would do. I noticed changes in my body, confidence and posture really early on in our sessions. He's also a very lovely man and a pleasure to spend time with.
Elli
Andrew is friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Using Andrew gave me confidence in the gym and see results that I had never been able to achieve on my own before. Personal training is not something I’d ever considered but Andrew’s positivity really helped give my workouts direction. Andrew also took into account my health conditions and made sure he researched how best to work around them in the gym.

Andrew is incredibly knowledgeable and motivating. He has tailored the workouts to my specific goals and fitness level. I appreciated his dedication, professionalism, and friendly demeanour throughout our sessions. I would 100% recommend him.

Genaya
I started fitness training with Andrew a few weeks ago. I never thought I would use a PT trainer. My daughter started working with Andrew and she recommended him to me. It was the best decision I have made. In the past few weeks I have lost a few pounds and inches. My strength has improved vastly. I find Andrew to be very encouraging and patient. He is also very knowledgeable in nutrition. Thank you Andrew.

Andrew is extremely professional and knows exactly what he is doing. I have never met anyone who works so hard at what they do and who also inspires you to do better each time. I love training with Andrew because he will push you to do your best but also knows your limits.
Maya
Over the past two months of training with Andrew, my confidence and knowledge within the gym alone has improved massively, not to mention the huge personal improvements to my strength and overall fitness. Andrew ensures every workout is hardworking, motivating, informative and mostly importantly enjoyable. I can’t stress enough how highly I recommend Andrew as a trainer and embarking on your fitness journey with ACF !!!
Daniel
Andrew is highly professional, friendly, and motivated. He encourages me to persevere through challenging workouts and explains everything in detail. I highly recommend him!
Angie
Having Andrew as a PT has been a life changer, before I started training with him I wasn’t confident enough to go into the weights section of the gym so mostly stuck to cardio. I came to him wanting to build strength and he has helped me to build confidence and strength and has motivated me to push myself. His energy, enthusiasm and motivation is contagious and I couldn’t have asked for a better PT and couldn’t recommend anyone more.
Thank you!!!
Kate
Thank you!!!
I wanted to get into the gym to build strength. Andrew helped me achieve my goals showing me correct form and lifting technique. Going forward I’m more confident to lift heavy, push myself harder and with good technique. The knowledge he has shared I can apply going forward in my gym journey. Most importantly my gym workouts with Andrew were exciting and challenging. I’m buzzing to keep smashing the gym!
Anna
Really enjoying training with Andrew, he’s really helping me reach my goals. Great trainer
Harry
Andrew has been the best intro into my personal fitness and general confidence using the gym. Id never thought I would be someone that loves the gym and can excel and lift more than I ever thought I could. Andrew not only knows his stuff but made me feel so comfortable and understood my anxieties. I would recommend him to anyone of any level and have to say I’ve enjoyed every minute of our sessions. Big up ACF alumni!
BG
Andrew, my personal trainer, has been a game-changer. His expertise and support have helped me regain my physical and mental strength. I'm grateful for his guidance and motivational attitude. Highly recommended!
Mor
ACF has been such a pivotal part of my fitness journey. Andrew has helped me physically and mentally but has allowed me to gain self belief in myself, something I had a difficult time in doing. He is a trainer but also a mentor who will go above and beyond to push you to your limits. He is not just a trainer who looks at the physical aspect of fitness but has a great sense of determination which has enabled me to push myself even further. He is passionate when explaining workouts / demonstrations, is very professional and takes extreme pride in his sessions. He has acquired a lot of knowledge due to his previous achievements in the fitness industry, therefore when I am training with him, I also feel like I am being educated at the same time, which is a bonus! He is always extremely motivating and I couldn't ask for a better trainer. I would highly recommend!
Kelu
Andrew is an amazing PT ! I had a back operation a couple of years ago and I was scared to enter a gym not knowing how to use equipment and what might further damage my back. Andrew helped me with exercises and using the right equipment. I’m so confident now going to any gym using what Andrew taught me I’m so much stronger than I’ve ever been before. I would definitely recommend Andrew to anyone.

Andy is a great guy. I showed a video of our session to a friend in Kent and the first thing he said was 'your PT is good and knows he's doing'. Andy can be patient and yet assertive to get desired results. He's a motivator per excellence. I would recommend thousand times.

Few months ago I decided to join the gym without any knowledge of what to do. I didn't even know the use of some tools in the gym so I decided to look for a personal trainer. I found Andrew and he is one of the most calm wonderful people you will ever meet. He had time and even manage to work around my schedule. And I will be very happy to start again with him.

I’ve only trained with Andrew for a month but he has been so accommodating and I saw changes by the third session, mainly in my strength. He pushed me despite how stubborn I am and made working out very funny. He has been great when it comes to availability and will make sure you get a session each week. I can’t wait to start training again after Christmas.
Emily
i’ve trained with andrew for almost 5 months now and he’s completely changed my perspective on fitness and the goals i thought i had. i initially joined acfitness to lose weight but now i’m addicted to strength training and my mental and physical health is truly at a peak. i’ve managed to completely change my lifestyle with his support and build a routine which has enhanced my health. he’s helped me build a solid fitness programme to help keep me on track when i’m working out alone, my weekly personal training sessions and always checks in on my nutrition and general well being. he’s motivating, disciplined, professional, very hardworking and has given me some of the best fitness advice i’ve ever had. he is my go to for fitness knowledge and his expert advice has never failed. he’s fun to work out with and has really made me believe i’m able to conquer anything when it comes to training. i’m so pleased with my continuing journey and very proud to be a part of the acf family!

After gained nearly 8kg during lockdown I finally push myself in to gym. I know the best and effective way for myself is getting personal training based on my previous experience in China.
Andrew who is very motivative and experienced help me with the journey of changing. I have trained with him nearly 3 months and I can see the change and I suppose everyone can see it.
I feel more confident and positive. I am happy with my each session and I learned a lot from Andrew. I will keep training with Andrew until I reach my goal.
Thank you so much for helping me, Andrew. Let’s keep going!!!!!

Olivia
Before I started training with Andrew I was nervous. I’d never lifted a weight in my life. I always put off the idea of training because I lacked the confidence and was very intimidated by the gym. After training with Andrew he has helped me build up my strength but most of all my confidence! He has also put together a routine for me for when I train solo which is fantastic. He is patient to say the least. Sometimes it can be frustrating but having him there motivating , and encouraging you really helps give you that push you need. The fact that he cares about his clients is what makes him the best at what he does. Very professional, supportive and friendly! I Would definitely recommend especially if your a beginner like me. I’m only on my first month training with Andrew and I have already booked another month. Honestly couldn’t recommend him enough.
Evie
I highly recommenced Andrew he is extremely supportive and motivating! As a younger women I felt very intimidated by the weights section and I wanted to gain more confidence in this area of the gym/ improve technique. I have learned so much in our sessions and now feel I can add this type of training into my routine outside of PT sessions. Andrew spent a lot of time designing a gym program program that would work for me and my goals. I had a lot of work to balance outside of the gym and he was always considerate of this. I have completed 2 cycles of 5 sessions 1 a week and now want to spend some time consolidating what I have learned. I will definitely be booking more sessions in with Andrew when I am ready for a new program.
Ayanna
Andrew is a great personal trainer, really motivated and passionate about fitness and this is reflected in his sessions, workout plans and commitment to clients, would 100% recommend.

Andrew is an incredible PT!! He’s so knowledgeable, encouraging and supportive, always checking in to make sure I’m ok and on track. My journey so far has been nothing but progress on so many levels. I've achieved more then I ever did when I tried on my own. He pushes you to new limits, every time. I highly recommend. Looking forward to future sessions.
Bayia
Andrew is a fantastic personal trainer: he gives you motivation, his workouts are intense but pleasant and tailored to you and your features as well as aims, and he’s also a very nice person to have a chat with while in the gym. I can just say that I see good results when working him. I a word, then, highly recommended!

Been in with Andrew a few times as he helped me to build up my fitness in time for pre season training and I can say he really pushed me to the max. In fact he worked me that well that I came first in most pre season runs. I would definitely recommend AC Fitness to anyone not just footballers like me. He brings the fun in fitness and it’s always a bonus to see the results every couple of weeks. Highly recommend.
