“Since 2019, I’ve entrusted my fitness journey to Ben’s expertise, initially seeking relief from stiffness and headaches induced by prolonged sitting at work. Ben’s serene yet strategic approach to fitness immediately resonated with me.
Throughout the challenges of lockdown, Ben seamlessly transitioned to virtual sessions, keeping me physically and mentally resilient. His adept combination of soft tissue therapy and personalized PT sessions proved invaluable, particularly as I navigated mobility issues stemming from COVID-19.
Ben’s holistic ethos towards health and movement has not only revitalized my physical fitness but has also had a profound impact on my overall well-being. Thanks to his guidance, I’ve attained a level of fitness I hadn’t experienced in years. My sessions with Ben are always a highlight, and I wholeheartedly endorse his services.”

“Before starting weekly sessions with Ben, I was suffering from back pain caused by the combination of autoimmune inflammation of the spine, poor fitness, a busy, stressful working life, and the lack of any clear idea as to how to tackle the problem through exercise.
Ben’s keen eye, coupled with his superb knowledge and understanding of all things physiological, enabled him to identify areas of mechanical failure where I lacked movement, strength, or stability. He initially targeted those weaknesses through a series of exercises and stretches, combining floor-based exercises and weights. As my back and my fitness improved, my energy levels increased, my weight reduced, and I found myself able to exercise at levels that would previously have been unimaginable.
The inherent problem with my back continues to underpin my work with Ben, but now, with an added focus on strength and conditioning, all of which feed into an improved physical and mental health state.
Ben’s knowledge and attention to detail are second to none. He makes our sessions varied and challenging but always specific to me and my situation and I would not hesitate to recommend him.”

“Five years spent running at a high level and a job that meant much time hunched over a laptop meant that I turned 30 with a bad back that, oddly enough, wasn’t fixing itself. Not fancying seeing out my days in an ever-increasing amount of discomfort, I sought to take ownership of the issue and contacted Ben after a recommendation from a local chiropractor.
The six months that have followed have been truly enlightening. As with most medical issues, identifying the underlying cause is the hardest part of recovery, and Ben was tireless in his search. After much hard work and perseverance from both parties, the result is a back that is finally behaving and the ability to reengage with strength training sustainably.
Ben has also worked hard to translate our work into my leading passion for golf. The impact on my game has been noticeable; I can generate much greater clubhead speed than possible while exerting far less effort, all through the increased movement efficiency created by Ben’s specialised and specific training.
If you’ve tried and failed to find a solution to your nagging health issue, do yourself a favour and arrange to see Ben, it has changed my life.”

“Having trained with Ben for a few years post-double knee replacement, I can’t thank him enough. His patience and encouragement have been instrumental in rebuilding my confidence and helping me rediscover my usual self. Not only are my knees in excellent condition now, but my overall fitness has significantly improved, and I experience far less back pain. It’s been a positive and transformative journey with tangible results.”

I have been training with Ben for some time now, and he has helped me with some things both physically and mentally. I’m a 29 years old IT Consultant, and as you can imagine, I spend the majority of my time sitting at a desk in front of a computer working. Before starting on my program, I had no motivation for training or dieting and my lower back hurt and just felt very weak.
Since receiving Online Coaching with Ben, I noticed a huge improvement with my body as I lost a lot of weight, gained muscle and my motivation towards training have changed, and as a bonus, my back stopped hurting.
I highly recommend training with Remedial Therapy & Fitness for anyone who wants to improve their quality of life for the better.
Nigel Cooper
My life can be pretty hectic with work along with having two young kids. I found myself getting too caught up at work and neglecting my health.
I struggled to find motivation to get to the gym. I like to run, and I’m currently training for a marathon. With Ben’s help my self-discipline and motivation went from strength to strength, and I’m now feeling healthier and running faster than ever.
His pleasant and positive attitude is a great asset to his willingness to work with his clients at their levels. He has great knowledge of body mechanics, muscle function and is capable of determining the individual abilities of his client.
I would like to take this opportunity to recommend Ben to anyone that is looking for a professional and dedicated Personal Trainer. His expertise and persistence in helping me look; move and feel better have been helpful in my work as well as my personal life.

Ben has trained me for a few years now, and I have found him to be an excellent trainer. Ben listens to what you want to get out of your training sessions and produces a programme to suit your needs. As Ben continually refines and makes changes to my training I don’t ever feel it’s becoming repetitive. Ben is particularly good at identifying weaknesses or past injuries and providing programmes to strengthen these areas.
Phil Mack
Following a long-standing running knee injury and subsequent operation, I was keen to get back my fitness without causing further damage to my knee and also to enable me to continue exercising as part of my self-help treatment for depression. Exercise is a key factor for my mental and physical health.
I therefore decided to work with Ben as my personal trainer as he had experience of working with people recovering from sports injuries and he seemed calm and non-shouty! He spent time understanding my sporting history and knee injury and gave me a very gentle programme to start, regularly checking for any negative impact on my knee and adjusting the programme as required. This helped to reduce my anxiety about causing damage to my knee but also to focus my training in a measured way, as I have a tendency to do too much too soon.
Using the app has been really helpful, enabling me to see how to do the exercises correctly with Ben’s helpful videos and log my progress, as well as keeping in regular contact with Ben. This is particularly helpful as my job means I’m not able to visit the gym at regular times during the week.
I’m delighted with the progress I’ve made thanks to the graduated programme Ben has given me, along with his calm and supportive guidance. I’ve already lost 3cm off my hips, am able to walk up hills without getting out of breath and I’m starting to feel fitter and less depressed. All this without any knee pain!
Thank you Ben – I’d recommend you to anyone building up their fitness programme!

I am 50 and, despite enjoying running, I have always struggled to get the benefit from using a gym before. However, I have trained biweekly with Ben for the last 12 months, and he has focused on building up my core stability and muscle strength. I feel stronger and fitter than ever and have a BMI of 23 for the first time in years (without dieting!)
Andy Seel
I trained with Ben back in 2007 through to 2010, but due to him moving location we stopped training. He’s now moved back into my area, and we’ve recently started training together again. Ben is currently helping me gain strength and increase mobility to enhance performance for a cycling sportive (cycling road race).
On top of the cycling training, Ben helps me manage my weight and reduce work-related stresses that can creep up from time to time. He’s able to personalise exercise programs to meet your goals while finding the right balance of keeping them challenging yet achievable.
Ben’s always been professional, enthusiastic and committed to helping his clients reach their goals and I would highly recommend Remedial Therapy & Fitness to anyone that is looking to take their training to the next level.

Ben is a brilliant trainer. He pays great attention to detail and is very thorough. I’ve learned a lot about the correct way to exercise and would highly recommend him.
Dr. Peter Clarke
Professional, patient and persistent! – Ben has been working on me after I had a serious accident leading to months of bed and inactivity. I can honestly say that the results have been way beyond my expectations and I’m able to do things I haven’t been able to for years – way better than most of my physios.
Y Chang
I started training with Ben in a bid to lose stubborn weight and generally tone up. After a detailed health assessment, Ben designed a weight training programme and diet regime that was achievable for me. Importantly Ben taught me about nutrition, what makes a good diet and about calorie deficits to maintain a healthy weight within a very busy lifestyle.
His education of me was subtle but effective! Each workout is tailored to me, and I feel and see the difference in my body.
My strength and fitness have improved immensely. He has set me in a life-long road of fitness and care for myself.
Ben is a committed, but fun instructor and I can’t recommend him enough!
Martin Fisher
I started training with RTF about a year ago. I had been a regular gym goer for the last 15 years but had avoided doing weights due to concerns over aggravating a prolapsed disc in my back. On chatting with Ben I realised he could design a program that would enable me to start doing a weight program but always protecting my back. On starting the program I realised that all the exercises provided were different ways of doing the exercises I had seen others doing in the gym but this time protecting my back.
I almost exclusively utilise the online system/app as I travel a lot with work and am unable to be at my home gym a lot. The app lets me track my programs, and more importantly get advice from Ben when I am unable to replicate the exercises in my plan due to lack of equipment in the hotel gyms i utilise. So far I am really pleased with my progress and have noticed my body shape changing in line with what I wanted from the program. Ben is very easy to get along with and is always available to provide advice and suggestions for changes to the programme. I would highly recommend him.
