“Getting Gareth's help was probably the most sensible thing I've done for as long as I can remember. In just 15 weeks, I've gone from being seriously overweight and unfit, to slim and athletic. With Gareth's fitness regime and assistance in my diet plan I've managed to lose 15kg of fat and am able to exercise for long periods of time without feeling too bad. I'd definitely recommend Ashplant Fitness personal trainers to anyone who wants to get in shape, sensibly but relatively quickly"

"I started with Gareth a few years ago and can honestly say it’s changed my life. I was at a weight that I wasn’t happy with and totally unfit. Gareth has helped me loose over 2 stone with a training regime that works perfectly for me and my ageing body… I’m definitely the fittest I’ve ever been!! A lovely guy that’s knowledgeable and totally invested in helping achieve the goals we set and more."

Lesley, Bournville

"I have been working with Ashplant Fitness for over 10 years, initially face to face and more recently remotely. I have two sessions a week, these sessions are delivered flexibly, customised to any limitations I may have on the day - sometimes joint stiffness and pain, I am nearly 70.
The sessions are varied, motivating, encouraging and delivered professionally. I always feel I have been provided with a good workout, the hour passes very quickly.
I have attended gyms in the past, I have tried online fitness resources however nothing compares with the 1:1 sessions I have with Ashplant Fitness. I can highly recommend Ashplant Fitness for supporting the achievement of personal health and fitness goals."

"I have been having personal training sessions with Gareth for over 7 years now and have found him exceptional. He tailors our sessions to fit with what's going on with me health-wise or in my personal life. I lost nearly 2 stone on a gradual basis over the first 18 months or so & increased my health dramatically as a result. Gareth is always encouraging & supportive. Gareths' ability to adapt is incredible & this was very evident during Covid with his ideas of using every day household items on Zoom sessions in place of the usual gym equipment he would bring. I can't recommend Gareth enough!"

Seonaid, Solihull

"Gareth has been training me for several years. I first moved to having a PT due to various issues with my back and more recently an operation on my ankle. Despite the above, Gareth always manages to get me exercising incorporating any rehab into the routine. Gareth is patient and provides gentle motivation to keep going and get one more rep! Would highly recommend!"

Louise, Birmingham

"Gareth is an experienced, knowledgeable, firm but fair personal trainer! I have worked with him for several years and he always makes sure our sessions are challenging and varied so I never get bored. He takes the time to track your progress and plan your sessions and brings everything you need for a great workout session to you. It couldn't be more convenient! If you are looking for someone who will understand your goals, tailor your workouts, adjust and support you with any injuries or health issues and not judge for the latest take away you ordered then I would heartily recommend Gareth as as personal trainer."

Aman, Harborne

"A great trainer - motivating, reliable and methodical. Also puts up with my whinging at 6am!"

Julien, Birmingham

"I have been using Gareth as my personal trainer for the last 3.5years. In that time he has ensured I have kept myself fit and healthy and ready to do other sports…..in particular skiing and snowboarding during the winter months. However it has been during the first 6 months of 2013 that Gareth has excelled himself. He has taken this 42 year old guy (me) and got him ready for 3 major physical challenges for charity. Including the 25mile Black Mountain Roundabout, a yomp around the Brecon Beacons, Tough Mudder a 13mile army assault course and the final challenge, climbing to the Summit of Mont Blanc Europe's highest mountain at 4807m. Gareth has kept me motivated, and his sessions have always kept me interested, if not in tears at the pain of it……but ultimately it has been "train hard…play easy" and where my friends have struggled and fallen by the wayside, I have come out smiling. I can recommend Gareth as a PT to anyone. Thanks Julien"

Louise, Birmingham

"Gareth is an excellent personal trainer. He is friendly, quietly efficient and very knowledgable. He is firm without being pushy and tailors his sessions on an individual basis depending on fitness and ability. I have no hesitation in recommending him for personal fitness training”

Shauna, Birmingham

"I knew I needed to try to get fitter if I wanted to improve my overall health. As a person who doesn't like fitness workouts I am thrilled to have found Gareth. He makes sure I stay motivated. He makes sure I work within my limits and my fitness levels have definitely improved since working with him. I am surprised to admit that I look forward to seeing him and my mood is always lifted after my workout "
