"I started training with Craig because I wanted to change the way I looked before moving to another country to start a new life. Being cynical, I was naturally skeptical about personal trainers, however Craig won my trust and confidence at the first session itself. His holistic and methodological approach impressed me from the start. Moreover, Craig’s personality suited mine: his serious nature and non-stereotypical ‘personal trainer’ manner made me feel at ease instantly. Over the past 9/10 months we have been on an incredible journey together. Not only did he cover every aspect of fitness (strength, agility, flexibility) but his nutritional analysis and guidance has helped me to establish a healthy eating regime. Most importantly, during our sessions he gave me his complete attention. Although every single session proved to be challenging, I never felt bored or thought of giving up. My sessions with him have been a learning experience for me; I am now fully confident of working out on my own without a trainer.

Almost a year later, I am now leaner, fitter, stronger and more confident. Not only has there been a dramatic change in my appearance, I have also changed my entire lifestyle. I now have people come up to me and ask me what drug I’ve been taking, they find it impossible to comprehend that its all down to eating the right combination of food to suit my metabolic type, getting enough rest and doing the right exercises. Simple as that. I would wholeheartedly recommend Craig to anyone who wants to not only change the way they look but also to transform their lifestyle."

"I must add I was amazed at this energy I was feeling throughout my body – tingling in my hands and feet, trilling everywhere. It was amazing. As a nurse I have been very scientific and “western” in my thinking up til now. I have to admit I have a lot of new ideas now about the body’s sensory capabilities. Feeling is believing!!!!!!!!”

Susan Laane-Towne, London, UK

"I've been going to the gym for eight years now and seen little results despite intensive training. I told Craig that I needed to be fit for a mountaineering week. I gave him a month in which to do it. He succeeded with his unique stability program. Not only has training with Craig improved my muscle tone, flexibility and posture, my girlfriend has benefited too, marvelling at my new butt, increased stamina, and renewed sexual appetite. Vavavooom"

Kent Shivelly, Marketing Executive

"I’d been aware of my increasingly poor posture and fitness for a number of years but lacked the motivation and willpower to tackle the problem. However with a wedding just 4 months away, and the thought of 80 pairs of eyes on me, I knew the time had come. I’d always been wary of the idea of using a personal trainer as the thought of some meathead barking “drop and give me 20” had me reaching for the Slendertone and laxatives. However I needn’t have worried at all. Right from the beginning Craig was extremely friendly and approachable, putting me immediately at ease. He took time to assess my needs, understand my goals and devise a programme to achieve them. Craig’s holistic approach to health included not only exercise and postural alignment but also nutritional guidance. As a result of training with Craig I have not only improved my posture, but have changed my whole body shape and have a lot more energy and confidence to boot!"

Anna Freeman, Business Development Manager

"I started my training with Craig in October 2007. It was great to have someone to tell you what you are allowed to eat and what you should avoid. This way I was able to change my nutrition from day one. One good thing is that nothing is completely forbidden, some things should just be reduced substantially, e.g. one is allowed to eat chocolate once in a while, as long as it remains an exception. Besides, there are so many foods which are tasty and healthy at the same time. This way I didn't have any problems sticking to my diet plan. Also the exercise sessions were appropriate to my abilities. Never too much, but always on a level that enabled my body to make progress. I wouldn't have thought of it as being possible, but with the help of Craig I managed to lose 50kg of bodyweight within less than one year, without any yo-yo effects and always in a healthy way. I've got a complete new feeling for life now. And I'm motivated to go on to reach my ideal weight."

I’d like to let everyone know what a difference Craig has made in my life over the last few months. Three months after having my first child I was keen to start a diet and exercise regime to help shift  excess baby weight. I knew I had to do something – the weight wasn’t falling off with breastfeeding like everyone had promised me! Of course feeding my baby was always my main priority, and I felt very confused about how to lose weight whilst still maintaining a healthy milk supply and energy levels to suit the general madness of being a new mother. With a young child himself, Craig seemed the perfect person to help me through the process. Not only did he have the professional expertise to know what kinds of foods I should be eating and what kinds of exercise I should be doing, he also had the personal perspective to know just how chaotic things can get with a small baby in the house, and how things don’t always go according to plan. I realised that I was so attuned to what my baby needed that I often forgot about what I needed. Craig helped me bring my focus back to myself in a very gentle and affirming way, and helped me to see that if I wasn’t properly fed and energised, there was no way I could ensure that my baby would be properly fed and energised. It sounds like common sense now, but after 12 weeks of broken sleep it was an absolute revelation for Craig to point out that looking after myself is pretty important in the whole family equation.

I didn’t do the hard-core detoxification diet because I was breastfeeding, but I cut sugar, caffeine, rice, potatoes, wheat and cow’s milk products out of my diet completely. I lived on salads with heaps of fresh vegetables, quinoa, brown rice, lentils, nuts, avocadoes and goat’s cheese (bliss), as well as the occasional slab of chicken or beef. I enjoyed the food and I felt great – I felt like my body was working cleanly and efficiently. And for the first time in ages I actually cared what I consumed – I became interested, and that made me less lazy and less prone to bad habits like seeking sugar fixes. In the first two months when I was very diligent I lost 1kg per week, and since then the weight has been consistently dropping week by week even though I’m once again eating things that I’d previously cut out. The exercise was mild and relaxing in the beginning as I slowly recovered muscle strength in my abdomen, and then stepped up after a month or so. The important thing for me was that I did something every day – 10 minutes of interval training on the bike and a good long walk, and every other day some mat exercises.

I can’t recommend Craig highly enough – he is intelligent, positive, supportive, down to earth and extremely responsive to individual circumstances. I felt absolutely confident of his approach when he told me in the first session that his ultimate goal was for me to NOT need his help anymore – this was wonderfully honest and really underscored his approach – to help you help yourself.

Ainslee Murray, Munich

"Craig has climbed through the ranks from beginner to that of competitive fighter and instructor in charge of large classes.
His ability to blend to a persons character is such that he can easily switch from teaching a 5 year old who needs self confidence ... to an adult male who wants full contact fighting exposure."

Sean Allen, 6th Dan Black Belt, Zen Do Kai

I had a made a promise with myself that after the birth of my second child I would work really hard to get fit and start to eat a more healthy diet. The time came and I embarked on a twelve week programme with Matt. For someone whose book shelf contained as many takeout menus as it did books and whose idea of exercise was walking to the local shop, he had a challenge on his hands! I was initially taken with Matt’s enthusiasm and passion for what he does. It wasn’t long before we were getting real results, the weight was dropping off and I was beginning to feel good about my body and exercise, I genuinely looked forward to my training session. For me, Matt is a brilliant trainer, for it is not just the way in which he motivates you, it is the way in which he has educated me about food and fitness and has taught me invaluable skills which will stay with me for always. I feel like a new woman, I’m 23 pounds lighter, in much better shape and down to my changes in diet and exercise I have never had so much energy. If I can do it, then anyone can!!!

After having a baby, I was feeling pretty unfit, untoned and generally in need of a kick start into getting back to exercise. With regular sessions with Matt, I can see that I have toned up considerably, lost a few lingering baby pounds and feel generally fitter. I have a new way of eating, through following the elimination diet. I also suffered with knee pain when running for years and assumed I simply had something wrong with my knees, however, when using my new best friend, the 'foam roller', it became clear that the knee pain was probably associated with other parts of my body and not my knees. On using the foam roller regularly, and with Matt's soft tissue release, I can now run without pain. I can also get into my pre-pregnancy skinny jeans! An extra bonus! Matt was great to work with, really passionate and dedicated and pushed me to my maximum potential. I would highly recommend him.

"I am not a natural athlete by any means - I've never enjoyed exercise and felt quite uncomfortable in my body. Having tried a couple of personal trainers before, I felt resigned to this as a fact of life. Craig completely transformed not only the way I felt about exercise, but also my relationship with my body. I lost weight and kept it off, I gained muscle and stamina, and most importantly, a stronger back (which had often prevented me from exercising). Craig pushed me to progress but always gently and with good humour. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is the only trainer I know for whom I'd get out bed at 6am and do so with a smile on my face."

Saleema Brohi, lawyer

"Having been regularly (3 times a week) attending the gym for two years I had seen some improvement in my overall fitness but not much and next to no effect on my love handles and tummy. I was sceptical to say the least when Craig suggested that with a new programme for two sessions on my own and one session a week one on one with him I would see dramatic results in just 6 weeks.

Six weeks later I am 4 kg lighter, have toned up significantly, have higher energy levels and have further increased my fitness. Craig has not only been an excellent instructor but has also advised me on nutrition and posture. I have had lots of fun with him and can not recommend him highly enough."

Claire Parkinson, Program Designer

"Being in the music industry and TV, my appearance and fitness has always been important. At 44 years old and training for 20 years, I didn't think there was much I didn't know until I met Craig who has coached me in core training, muscle and fitness to a level I would never have thought possible. I now look and feel better than I did in my twenties. Thanks to Craig and his great personal interest and great way of making you feel very special and looking great."

Kristian James, singer, model, actor

"For many years now, I have trained myself using more traditional and researching new techniques. Not until meeting Craig did I find someone as driven as I who could push me to the next level. He brought new and challenging techniques to my training to not only satisfy my martial arts needs but also my egotistical desire for a lean and cut physique!"

Marielena McKay, 1st Dan Martial Artist and Tour Operator

"I am thrilled with my new program, Craig took time to listen to what I wanted, needed and felt comfortable with. He took the time to show me how to get the most from the program and to make sure the exercises were right for me. His friendly manner allows one to feel comfortable and want to push yourself as much for him as for you, since he seems to have a great deal of faith in his clients and his programs."

Kristen Harding, Nanny

I contacted Craig a few months ago after after being overweight and out of condition for a good number of years, straight away I was met with a very warm, friendly, enthusiastic and genuine manner not on only about what he does but also what he can do for you to improve your standard of health and fitness. I had previously been given alot of misinformation and had tried several times, and unsucessfully I might add to shed some pounds and get into shape. So after my initial consultation with Craig it was shown and explained to me how I could achieve the best results.

I will be honest I was at this point still somewhat sceptical but decided to stick to the letter the information I was given and give it my all. The results were amazing after just one week, which gave me the drive and the power to carry on, of course all the time under Craigs supervision. After one week I dropped 4 kilos and after three weeks I had lost a total of 9 kilos in weight. I'm now a total of 15 kilos lighter in 2 months (and I still havent even done any exercise yet) and feel better than ever.

We are now just starting to work on the fitness side of things so if you're looking for fitter healthier lifestyle with professional supervision then I can't recommend 3D Peronal Training highly enough. Cheers Craig.

Andrew Kerry

I am training with Craig and I must say IT WORKS!! It is not a matter of killing yourself like joggin the whole day or so it is just a few exercises 2-3 times per week and more discipline in your food. Good quality food, but different from other diets, you can eat lots of things you would think are not allowed. I totally recommend him. I am still going eventhough all my jeans suit me again but just because I feel good with a healthier life!!

Dunia Barrera Segura, Munich

I contacted Craig late last year to get some help. I'd been trying to lose weight for several years, with mediocre results despite having a reasonable diet and exercising quite regularly.

Craig's approach was fantastic, and I could not recommend him highly enough to anyone who is at a stage where they want to improve their health in a way that really is sustainable, or is frustrated because they are trying to do this already with limited success.

The first step involved Craig taking the time to really get to understand my lifestyle, goals and current condition in a structured way before starting with any changes. He made a number of recommendations about changing the way I eat (how often and what types of foods) that are really not that difficult to follow. Sure, there are some foods that I no longer eat (all the time ), but there have been no real sacrifices and absolutely no need to ever feel hungry. Nutrition is something that we talk about regularly and any problems are easily overcome. The upshot: there are no fads or "diets" here, just simple, easy to follow and sustainable eating habits.

The exercise front was also an eye opener. Craig's understanding of body mechanics is fantastic. My exercise habits weren't bad – normally three sessions per week of around 40 minutes - but my efforts were misdirected. I work in an office so spend a lot of time at my desk, and had no idea how much damage not moving in the right way could do. Craig immediately got to work on fixing my body motion, especially flexibility and restoring functional muscles towards their proper state. After the fundamentals were on the right track we added exercise to increase my fitness levels and strength. The best part: most of this can be done at home with very limited equipment, so no more gym fees for me! And we regularly adjust the plan so there is no risk of boredom.

Don't get me wrong, there has been hard work and change involved here, and I had to be ready to make some fundamental changes to my diet. But the results have definitely been worth it. I've now lost 16 KG, am eating better than I have for a long time and have regained the body shape and fitness levels that I had a long time ago...
