Functional Strength UK

Fantastic experience: Exceptional Strength and Conditioning Coaching at Functional Strength UK I've had the pleasure of training with Christian, the owner of Functional Strength UK, and my experience has been nothing short of phenomenal. Christian is not only professional and articulate but also brings an exciting and easily understandable approach to his coaching processes. This has made progress remarkably smooth from a coaching perspective, allowing me to elevate my skills consistently. As a fellow coach, I find immense value in learning from Christian. His expertise has not only polished my Olympic lifting technique but has also contributed significantly to my overall athletic development. Training with Christian has evolved into a non-negotiable aspect of my own development and progression. I highly recommend Christian for his exceptional professionalism and profound knowledge. He is a well-read coach who is constantly improving, making every session a valuable learning experience. Working with him is an absolute pleasure, and I'm grateful for the positive impact he's had on my fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: Quality s and c and Olympic lifting gym . the coaches have years of knowledge ! If your an athlete and want to get stronger and faster then train here !!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Christian as part of the weightlifting club based at Functional Strength UK for almost a year. He is an exceptional coach with a wealth of knowledge and experience. His programming and coaching are excellent, he has prepared me for 3 competitions this year and helped me add 10KG to my competition total - something I wouldn't have thought possible this time last year. Christian has created a real community within the gym and the weightlifting club that is welcoming and supportive. I cannot reccomend Christian and the gym highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Started using Christian at the end of last season and I cannot recommend him enough! In the best way he geeks out at all things sports performance and for a big dope like me who use to train in the gym like a bodybuilder, he opened my eyes to sport specific training and working to be explosive and dynamic. He’s been super flexible with sessions in the gym 1 to 1 and session/plans through his app. I feel theres a lot of fakers who are PTs, Christian is not one of them and i enjoy him hitting me with studies and research to back up what we are doing in gym and why (usually between sets when I am dying).

Fantastic experience: One of the most professional and results driven gyms I have ever set foot in. Christian wants nothing but the best for every person that steps through the door whether client or staff. I highly recommend this gym if you are looking to progress towards your goals.

Fantastic experience: I came to Chris as I had broke my back a couple of years back and ever since I have experienced constant lower pain. 3 months working with him on a strict fitness plan tailored to me, I’ve got no back pain. I can’t thank him enough and I would recommend him to anyone suffering with back pain. Rob

Fantastic experience: Christian has been so helpful and I have learnt so much through the programming for the Olympic lifting. I can feel myself getting stronger and my technique is improving every session. Thanks for all your help Christian!!!

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Christian enough,i started private session’s with him after my friend recommend him as he also trains with Christian,In the short space of time we had to prepare before my next Maui Thai fight,Christian exceeded all my expectations my cardio,strength,power was all up and I could really feel the difference In My fight(which I won).thanks again to a top coach

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Christain for over 40 odd weeks now and he has been an absolute godsend. He asked me my goals and has pushed me each week in achieving them. I am a coach myself and lost my way training wise as I was just fed up programming myself, and wanted some accountability. I have done mainly online programming with him and then thrown the odd 121 to get beasted by the boss man :) Christain is an amazing coach and has such passion in what he does. It has been good for me to have someone to tell me what to do and push me out of my comfort zone . Plus the banter and the notes I leave him at the end of each session when I send it I over is a crack to lol. I could not recommend this knowledgable guy enough he is simply amazing at what he does.

Fantastic experience: I’m really enjoying working on the exercise program provided for me by Christian and using the app is really easy with videos showing different exercises. I can definitely feel that I am getting stronger and working towards my goals and feel accountable with regular check ins with Christian to keep me on track So a couple of months further on and Christian has helped me navigate my training through shoulder injuries and each week I have managed to increase my strength and also improve the stability of my shoulders left to my own devices I may have lost my way a bit with the injuries but Christian has kept me on track and accountable

Fantastic experience: Chris helped me build confidence following injury and put me in a great condition for football. He is very knowledgable in his field and prescribed me with a well thought out programme which was specific to my needs. He ticks all the boxes for what you would look for in a coach and is a great person! The gym has a friendly atmosphere and a good range of equipment

Fantastic experience: I joined the Gym just after coach Christian opened the gym and signed up for 3 months personal training 3 sessions a week. Christian set a plan perfect for my needs and linked to my non professional career as a bang average no nonsense centre half on the Wirral’s football scene. The tailored plans, constant support and new ways of working out transformed my fitness as well as lowering body fat and I excelled on the pitch. I was able to train alone after this with tailored plans whenever required to keep meeting goals. The small community and better attention to detail than other larger establishments really makes the gym a niche in the Wirral gyms and you can’t go wrong here. 5 stars highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: My time spent training in Functional Strength UK has been great, I've added loads to my exercise library and seen huge improvements in strength and conditioning. Christian breaks down the technical side of the exercises in an easy way to follow. This has given me a good knowledge to plan out sessions and be confident in the gym to complete on my own. Highly recommend anyone looking at Functional Strength UK give Christian a shout and he will help you out anyway he can, top man!

Fantastic experience: Working with Christian I have lost over 20kg whilst building muscle mass and more importantly self esteem. Compound movement weight (Squat, Deadlift and Bench) have almost doubled in a year. Highly engaged PT, will always message you to ensure you stay on track! Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Christian for about a year now and I have never felt better. Christian has helped me improve my speed and explosive power aswell as helped me lose weight, giving me not only first-class training in the gym but fantastic nutritional advice. Chris is a phenomenal trainer, perfect mix of drill sergeant and gym buddy. Always pushing you hard but still really supportive. Training with Chris was the best decision I ever made.

Fantastic experience: Had a session with Chris nearly 1 year ago due to bad lower back pain when lifting weights, within a couple of sessions I was pain free and weekly sessions pushed me to lose 2.5 stone in a few months. Now focusing on Olympic Lifting in the weekly sessions and the Wirral Weightlifting Club. Top coach on working towards whatever your goals may be

Fantastic experience: Chris helped me massively after coming back from a serious muscle injury. Worked with him all throughout the summer before moving to the U.S. to play football. Fittest I've ever been... thank you!
