About
Hi my name is Rob, I am a Personal Trainer at Hatfield Leisure Centre, I've been in the fitness industry for over 5 years running fitness classes and PT sessions.

My own interests for this started over 7 years ago when I started running with friends during the week/weekends. Taking part in 10k's,1/2 marathons, marathons, country to capital which is a 45 mile run, London to Dover run which is 87 miles, which then resulted with me finishing the 100 mile Enduroman Ultra (target).

After this my own target changed and I decided to hit the gym, this is where i found my passion, so I pushed my career to show people that they can achieve dreams and goals and that there is no boundaries.

I am also qualified in kettlebells, suspension training, group training, circuit training and boxing and pad work.

I am here to help you achieve your goals and targets with the help of training sessions in the gym and online support.

I look forward to working with you all.

I feel very lucky to have found Rob as a trainer.
He is very friendly and easy to get on with which makes the sessions much easier to get through, I’ve sometimes gone into sessions on an “off” day and have always felt better afterwards.
Rob is very good at going through a varied routine that both targets areas that need working on whilst at the same time varying the exercises to avoid fatigue. He is good at ensuring that the routines are done properly and corrects any errors in stance to maximizing the benefits from the exercise.
Rob is positive and knows when to encourage you to step up either the rate or the level of exertion of a particular exercise; he keeps a record of your progress and it is a big encouragement to know that you are getting fitter.
I’ve been seeing Rob regularly for about 4 months now, I am elderly and was worried about my level of fitness following my retirement from work and a subsequent reduction in physical activities. I started feeling better just a few weeks after starting regular sessions with Rob, some of this was due to feeling good about doing something positive about my levels of fitness but increasingly I feel the improvement in both mobility and stamina.
I've no hesitation in recommending Rob to anyone.

I have been training with Rob, once a week for almost a year, and I have enjoyed every single session. Rob understands your goals, supports and encourages you to be your best. He is an excellent trainer, genuine, professional and I highly recommend.

Rob is a fantastic personal trainer and I am very happy I got to work with him. He listened to my goals and wrote up some great workouts that challenge me and help me achieve my best. His rates are very affordable, so if you like a bargain this is the guy to go with. Rob is also great at motivating people, he has a great positive attitude and is very knowledgeable and professional. I would recommend this PT to anyone.

Introduced by my wife and this dude turned out to be what l needed to go back to being a gym lover and lifting weights again. A few years ago, l sustained a shoulder injury and for me l never thought l would go back to weight lifting again. Rob has been very patient with me and has worked with me adjusting my programme accordingly and always constantly asking me if my shoulder was ok. I feel l am in the best form of my life and most importantly l have also achieved one of my goals which was to lose belly fat. I highly recommend Rob if you are serious about achieving your goals and becoming a gym lover like l have become.

I have been using Rob for nearly 4 months. I was, and still am, recovering from a very serious bout of depression, so I was very nervous and worried about finding the right PT to help me with my physical and mental well-being. In addition to my emotional struggles I was getting desperately overweight, so Rob has tailored my sessions to fit my physicality brilliantly. I'm now a stone and a half lighter, getting back to a fitness level that I thought I would never achieve again, and having a laugh along the way which is fantastic for my mindset.
I can't thank Rob enough for his support.

Rob is laid back and very easy to get along with. Rob has great knowledge on many different techniques and exercises that made me feel more confident on knowing what I can workout and set myself goals. Rob is brilliant on working on what you want to achieve and helps you to identify on what needs working on to achieve your goal.

Hugely recommend Rob from learning new techniques too pushing yourself in the gym.

I have been training with Rob for many years now and can honestly say that he is everything that you want in a trainer. He’s knowledgeable, supportive, motivating and as an added bonus he’s a really great guy so your sessions are far more enjoyable when you can have a laugh along the way! Over the years when I have had injuries, Rob makes sure that he adapts the workouts to accommodate. Rob definitely keeps me motivated on the days when I don’t want to train, and is really encouraging to help me achieve my goals, even outside of our sessions. I cannot recommend Rob highly enough!

Wow, I’m so glad I made the right decision by choosing Rob as my personal trainer. I just like his humour and his personalised planned sessions for me. I like the fact that he does not pressurise you to book sessions but because of how good he is, I see myself booking more sessions with him. I have also recommended Rob to my husband who is also training with him too.

Thank you Rob for being an excellent personal trainer and I appreciate your non judgemental and patient approach during my sessions,

I would highly recommend Rob and will continue training with him.

My 14 years old son who has some learning difficulties has been working with Rob for over a year. Rob put together a work out plan to improve my sons muscle coordination and overall fitness.
I can see significant improvements and my son always looks forward to his sessions with Rob.

Rob shows enthusiasm and patience. He is very supportive, always flexible and accommodating with last minute changes. A thoroughly nice person all round.

I would highly recommend Rob irrespective of what your fitness goals are.

I'm so pleased I'm training with Rob. I have a few mobility challenges and I was struggling by myself with fitness and motivation. He has been amazing and helped me turn that around. Rob's training sessions are full of variety, he encourages me to push through when I think I can't but he also understands my limits. I'm delighted with what I have achieved, my fitness has improved, I have loads more energy and I'm enjoying life. Rob is a fantastic Personal Trainer.

So pleased I signed up with Rob. I was recommended by a friend as I was struggling to loose weight I had gained and was desperate to gain strength and stamina . After battling on for months my own I met Rob and told him exactly what I wanted to achieve . He structured a plan personal to me and we began work , the whole way through Rob has encouraged me and praised me and just made me want to carry on even on those days when I just wasn’t feeling it . Results speak for themselves . I would always recommend Rob

I look forward to my weekly training sessions with Rob. He has been training me for nearly 2 years now. He pushes me so I can achieve new personal bests in weight training, but is also sensitive to what is possible within my limits (I have a mobility impairment). Rob likes problem solving and working out different ways I can exercise from the ‘norm’ so we can try out new things to see what happens. I also like that Rob is easy to talk to and takes an interest in my whole life beyond the gym. This means we have a good laugh sometimes!

Rob is a very good personal trainer, who gives you a clear workout plan to challenge yourself. He is very laid back and easy to get on with and this makes training very enjoyable. He doesn’t charge through the roof either, which is an added bonus! Cheers Rob.

I have been working with Rob as my PT for the last 2 months.
Rob has helped me fall back in love with exercise by making work outs fun; changing up the session each week and concentrating on different areas of my body. I have already started to see results and slowly rebuilding my confidence again.
Rob shows enthusiasm during workouts; really motivating me. He is very flexible too; which is perfect for my job.
I would highly recommend Rob and looking forward to my fitness journey continuing.

Following too many years of inactivity and my recent retirement, I decided to take one last shot at losing weight and getting fit. I knew that doing it on my own was doomed to failure - I've joined and left too many gyms in the past - so I decided to sign up with a personal trainer. I signed up with Rob in late August and couldn't have made a better decision. From the outset, Rob designed fun but challenging sessions with a variety of exercises designed to provide a full body workout. Importantly, he pushed me a little further with each session, keeping me focussed and committed to the cause. Three months on, I have lost two stones in weight, I'm in the shape of my life and have the energy and enthusiasm to keep building on the great progress that Rob has helped me to achieve so far. He is very professional, very friendly and very supportive. If only he didn't support Liverpool.......!!! I would thoroughly recommend Rob to anyone - you'll get fit and make a new friend at the same time

I've been training with Rob for about 3 months and i was a bit hesitant at first because i'm so unfit and out of shape.
Rob was very approachable and welcoming and he tailor makes the fitness session in order to help me reach my personal goals.
The sessions are tough but very enjoyable and rewarding, i always feel good after training with him. He pushes me and encourages me to just to the right level allowing me to reach my maximum potential. He's also been a great help advising on diet. I have definitely seen improvements in my strength and fitness since training with him and i am sure that will continue.
I would highly recommend Rob to help you achieve whatever your fitness goals are and i look forward to continuing to train with him in the future.

I would always recommend Rob and will continue to use him myself .
