| Annette Musgrove - Purley Having just completed another fantastic workout, I can safely say that I would not have been doing this 2 and a half years ago, without the help and encouragement from Simon Juster. | |  |
| As a self confessed 'exercise hater', I took up the recommendation of a friend to seek out the assistance of Simon to 'do some exercise' no, I didn’t do any before!!! At over 4 stone overweight and a complete lack of motivation, inclination or enthusiasm, I had no wish to exercise but common sense over my weight and lack of fitness propelled me in Simon's direction - he loves a good challenge!!! We started off slowly and steadily built up my programme, pushing me a little bit each time we met. Within a few months, together with a sensible diet, the weight started to fall off and my fitness levels increase - great motivation for me!! So many people have commented on how well I look and how much weight I’ve lost!!! Simon has been a godsend - he is patient, allows you to take it at your own pace and is full of encouragement. He has even got me running!!!!!!!! So far I have lost 5 stone and dropped 5 dress sizes - it’s costing me a fortune in clothes! Without Simon I would not have returned after the first session - he has really been my inspiration and has shown me that I can exercise in the gym and gain results. |
 | | Malcolm Jupp - Wallington My main goal was to run in BUPA's 10k run in Hyde Park - Simon gave me a program to follow and gave a lot of encouragement. I completed the run in 50 mins. and I feel this was a massive achievement as I had never done anything like this before. |
| I also needed training for a Great Wall of China challenge and again I was given a program to follow for I needed to walk for 8hrs for 5 days and I needed to build up my endurance and fitness and to build up my leg muscles. I was given a lot of encouragement and completed the walk without any problems. Since 2005 Simon has trained me for a number of events including numerous 10k runs, The London Marathon, Great Wall of China challenge, climbing Kilimanjaro and also a cycle ride from Berlin to Warsaw. My goal is now to build up muscles on my upper body and give my poor legs a rest. |
| Armando Corsini - Purley I started training with Simon a year ago thanks to my daughters giving me personal trainer lessons as a birthday present. I was quite hesitant to go ahead as I had never done anything like this and did not know what to expect. | |  |
| Trying to dispel the fear of the agony I thought I was going to be put through, I went ahead and booked the lessons. One year on, I am very pleased that I did. He has helped me improve my fitness, strength and endurance levels to the point that he entered me in the Croydon 10km race in October and I ran it in what was, for me, a very satisfying time of under 58 minutes. Completing the race gave me a great sense of achievement for which I can only thank Simon. I would never of dreamt of entering the race if it were not for him. I am continuing to train with him and I really feel good though a word of warning – he likes to up the exercise programmes on the computer without telling you !! Jokes apart I think he’s a very good trainer and , incidentally , also a nice bloke. |
 | | Lina Corsini - Purley I first started training with Simon to see if there was any way to improve my quality of life due to persistent back problems. Several years on with my personal training sessions I can honestly say that I would have never have dreamt that I could achieve what I have. |
| My back problems have improved no
end, I have vastly improved my fitness levels ( I can run for 40 mins
now) and as a bonus it also keeps my weight in check. Well done Simon,
not only for the training but for understanding my requirements.
Couldn't have done it without you. |
| Amanda Bolton - Coulsdon Simon really helped and encouraged me to get fit for my wedding and honeymoon. My goals were to tone up and lose around half a stone to look and feel fab in my wedding dress. | |  |
| To keep me motivated I also signed up to do a half marathon after only ever completing a 5km run. I just wanted to be able to complete the Reading half marathon and to try and run the whole way. I've never been able to run and Simon really helped me get fit quick and I really noticed my weight went down and I lost inches so my clothes felt really good. This really helped as I was going for dress fittings and I wanted to look my best. We did a combination of exercises including running, interval training, weights and circuits. I feel so much fitter now, my confidence has increased and I feel better about how I look in my clothes. It is a safe non threatening environment to exercise and Simon was very good at motivating me to get out and do things. I hate going running alone so it was good to go with him and he planned different routes each time to keep it interesting and different. |
 | | Andy Mccleave - Coulsdon Before I started with Simon I suffered with back pains every day, was unfit and was about 3 stone overweight. In the 7 months I have been with Simon I have lost 2 stone, improved |
| my fitness levels and my back is stronger than before, so much that I have managed to complete a 10k run in June. |
 | | Veronica McCleave - Coulsdon I have been training with Simon now for 18 months now and during this time I have lost weight, toned up my whole body and raised my fitness levels considerably. As well as helping with my fitness,Simon has also helped |
| with my diet, giving good advice on a healthier diet making me feel more energetic and contributing with my weight loss. Simon is now helping me train for the London Marathon next year, something that I would never had been able to complete a year ago. When I first trained with Simon I had never run before and now I have completed two 5k runs a 10k run (with 1 coming up) and for next year I have entered the London Marathon. |
| Dave Edgell - Purley I have been training with Simon for around 6 months now with great effect. After increasing to 3x a week my fitness, strength and endurance levels have all increased as well as losing 4 kg! Thanks again for all your help and support and I look forward to the next 6 months!! | |  |
 | | Debbie Lehane - Chaldon I can honestly say I would have NEVER done it without Simon's encouragement and help along the way. He always made me feel comfortable and I never felt intimidated which can happen in some gyms! I’m now going for a 10k run in October all thanks to Simon! |
| Rachel Cummings - Selsdon Thank you Simon! You have increased my self belief no end. From not being able to run for more than 2 minutes 9 months ago I have now completed the 5km Race for Life twice. I beat my Croydon time of 38 mins. by 7 minutes recently at Regents Park. Unbelievable! If only the kids at school 20 years ago could see me now. |
| Gary Cox- Sanderstead Before I started training with Simon I had high blood pressure, was always stressed and had low fitness levels. Simon has managed to lower my blood pressure by encouraging me to use the gym more and by monitoring my diet and also to swim which I really enjoy. My confidence, self esteem and fitness levels have all gone up since training with Simon. He has a great personality and a lot of time and patience with me. I will continue to train with Simon to maintain my weight and keep my blood pressure down. |
| Ros Feltham - Warlingham |
| I have been training with Simon for the Race for Life 5km run and before I started training I could not run for more than a minute without getting out of breath. Now with Simon’s encouragement my fitness levels have improved and I can run for over 15 mins without stopping. I am even thinking about doing a 10k run !!!!!!!!!!! |
| Dame Karlene Davis OBE - Croydon |
| My sessions with Simon provide me
with variety and fun which I need to maintain my motivation for
exercise. I have managed to lose weight, improve my fitness and
flexibility. |
