“I am a Paralympic swimmer. I started working with Altesse Kyezu in May this year. Shortly after I began to see results in the pool. He has been very accommodating to my disability and has managed to make me a more powerful swimmer. Altesse has worked on my strengths and weaknesses in the gym. At my latest competition I improved several of my best race times. Much of this is down to the commitment Altesse has shown towards my goals.”

“I’ve attended FitFun Boot Camp with Altesse from FitFunActive for well over three years now and have more recently taken up PT sessions with him. He’s the perfect trainer, I’ve had fantastic results! The PT sessions are a perfect balance of challenging your personal goals and making you feel completely comfortable in doing so. I’m definitely the strongest I’ve ever felt and would highly recommend Altesse!”

To anyone looking to start exercising or improving their fitness, Altesse is the man. Altesse is a fully qualified personal trainer who knows his industry and how to push you to achieve the best results. He has a firm but playful manner. Although he makes you work hard during the sessions you can have a laugh at the same time. Coming from someone who has never been a fan of exercise, he has changed my attitude and taught me to enjoy improving my fitness.

It is my real pleasure to have Altesse as a Personal Trainer. I have been seeing him regularly for over a year. The experience is always splendid: intense and fantastic at the same time. Intense as the level of effort expected by Altesse is consistently high but fine-tuned to my needs and ability. Fantastic due to Altesse’s interpersonal skills, which are really helping to make the sessions fun and positive. Yes! Even the ‘dreaded’ early morning workouts in grim weather when my bed is warm and inviting… Altesse always managed to refocus me on my goal of running the Milton Keynes Marathon at the beginning of May last year. Over the course of the year, he tailored my programme with a great amount of care, raising the intensity level as we got closer to the race. His regular checks during the week, to see if I was on track, were welcome and he often had to amend training plans to help me with the occasional injury, high workload, etc. His dedication has been superb and I do not think I could have expected more from him. He even travelled to Milton Keynes on the day of the race to congratulate me at the finish. I am rather happy with my time of 3hr 50mins for my very first marathon! LOOKING FORWARD Now I have achieved my goal. However Altesse will not get rid of me so easily. We have already devised a pretty challenging new goal for next April, with a series of intermediate steps along on the way to keep me focused. If you are thinking of contacting a Personal Trainer, I can assure you that you will not regret getting in touch with Altesse. His consistency, his knowledge, his hard work and friendly personality have completely made the difference. In summary, he’s a top notch guy, top notch experience, top notch results! What’s not to like???

Training with Altesse began in August last year. Having suffered with anxiety and panic attacks, I was in a negative cycle both physically and mentally. As a result, I knew I had to make a change. Choosing to train with Altesse has proven to be an invaluable decision and the change that I needed. Personally, I look forward to my sessions each week. Since starting the effects have been remarkable in terms of my physical and mental health. My anxiety has significantly reduced and I feel stronger than I ever have before. Altesse has always been encouraging and patient, particularly at the start when I felt out of my depth. I am now capable of doing exercises that I never thought possible thanks to the belief he has in his clients. He never accepts that I can’t do something and he’s always there to give me the confidence and motivation I need to keep pushing myself further. My personal training sessions along with FitFunBootcamp, FitFunBoxing and now FitFunKettlebells have become an integral part of my week. Thanks to Altesse’s support I have been able to regain control over my mind and body.

Summer 2014 seemed like a good time to start establishing some healthy lifestyle changes. I was slowly getting heavier, and never quite having the time to be active. But, three personal training sessions with Altesse seemed like a good way to kick off my new regime. My goals were simply to lose weight and get more active. It was never going to happen in three sessions but Altesse’s friendly and supportive manner had an impact straight away. Each session is different: boxing: jogging, strengthening exercises and all these activities done in short bursts made exercising feel achievable. One to one training sessions were not the only way in which Altesse helped me to make positive changes. Keeping a close eye on my eating habits and weekly weigh-ins have made me accountable for my choices. Holidays haven’t been easy but by providing manageable activities that can be done anywhere, Altesse has helped me to maintain the weight loss. There are also those moments in the day when a biscuit calls, but the food diary helped to identify my snacking patterns so I have been able to prepare for these. There have been weeks when nothing happens but Altesse’s encouragement and belief have kept me going. The scales don’t always show what you want but your clothes get looser and people start to notice. This of course, feels great. As a result, 12 months later and 20 kilos lighter the weight loss journey continues. Thanks to Altesse the changes have become a habit. Our weekly training sessions are not only an hour of exercise but time to reflect on what’s going well and where to go next. Would I have thought a year ago that I’d be enjoying exercising? No. Altesse makes training feel manageable while pushing you. A year ago I wouldn’t have thought I’d be training for a 10k either. On reflection, meeting my trainer has been a great change for me.

After giving birth via Caesarean section, for the second time, I wanted to discuss a post-natal exercise plan. I needed help to safely regain full fitness and return to my pre-pregnancy physique. My first few sessions with Altesse focused primarily on core strength work. We moved on to light cardio using the Cross trainer, walking intervals on the Treadmill and bodyweight exercises. We built on these as the weeks went on. Altesse made sure I was fully aware of the reasons behind his exercise selections and my progression. The core work which we did in our PT sessions really made the difference. As a result, I felt stronger and more able within myself to do regular house chores. My chores involved bending to do the laundry and vacuuming, which was one of the hardest things for me to do. Not only did I get stronger, I achieved 10lbs weight loss, 3.5 inches off my waist and 1.5 inches off my hips. This brought me back to my pre-pregnancy size 8 dress size.

I have a lower back injury and find it very difficult to do main-stream gym classes so I thought I would give PT a try. It was the best decision I have ever made in regards to my fitness. Altesse is an amazing trainer; he is so knowledgeable and motivating. He not only adjusts training sessions to accommodate my back pain while training with him but also sends me regular exercises to do at home and in the gym. I receive new exercise routines to keep me on my toes. Altesse is very organised and always prepared for training sessions, tracking all my progress. He makes it very easy to keep to a training schedule, planning my week around my shift work. I am kept focused on my nutrition. My plan was to have 10 sessions for a kick start and now 30 sessions later I am still loving training and feel myself getting stronger and losing weight. The daily back pain has dramatically lowered and I am able to manage it a lot better. I would recommend Altesse to anyone, especially those with injuries and other specific training needs.
