Pure Performance Personal Training

Fantastic experience: By far the best investment I have made for myself. Mark has not just changed my entire body composition over 12 mths, but has changed my approach to nutrition and strength! His tailored programmes and constant support helped me to reach goals I never would have alone. His personal style and professionalism are second to none. I would recommend Mark and his programmes to anyone who really wants to make changes, no matter how old they are or whatever stage in life. He helped me to gain control of my body and my life again.

Fantastic experience: Elite trainer! Always took the time to explain things to me clearly. Took my performance to the next level. A really valuable investment and achieved some great results. Marks knowledge in all things training and nutrition is extremely impressive. The past 4 months have given me so much more confidence in the gym and has carried over in other areas of my life too. Thank you Mark!

Fantastic experience: I needed to get my fitness back especially as I was about to turn 70! I gave Mark the brief, lose some weight, get back in control, get energy levels up. 3 months later I'm 4 kilos lighter, energy back, strength getting better and better and best of all I look and feel better than people 10 years younger than me. Mark is also a laugh, he works me hard but keeps me under control. Recommend!

Fantastic experience: I’d been struggling with a rotator cuff for a month, bumped in to Mark in the gym and he took the time out to give me a few pointers, really kind and selfless act. Very knowledgeable and obviously professional as well, the shoulder is on the mend and I will be back training properly in no time, thanks Mark!

Fantastic experience: I was trained by Mark for nearly a year. His wealth of knowledge, help to pin point what works best for you as an individual together with his joyful attitude were definitely appreciated. He’s been nothing short of excellent as a trainer. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a trainer in the area and I am looking forward to getting back to train with him!

Fantastic experience: Exceptional time with Mark. The teaching and knowledge gained goes far beyond just “exercise”. I’ve learnt a lot about my own body, routine and mind - which has made achieving my goals extra special.

Fantastic experience: Having poor sleep quality, a poor diet, low energy, no goals and no ambitions I sought to change my life around and get in shape and I happened across Pure Performance and Mark Ames the personal trainer. I started my training with him in January 2023 at 20% body fat. Six months go by and I dropped to 12.6% and had lost 10kg in weight. My life had completely turned around at that point. I now have ambitions and big goals I am working towards. I am much happier in myself and have a greater outlook at life. I can now construct a nutritional, balanced diet to suit my needs and maintain a good physical condition. Confidence, training techniques, mindsets, lifestyle he has advice for it all and will certainly help you in your journey too! It was a great opportunity to learn from him and I will take the lessons learnt with me for many years to come. Would highly recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: Great knowledge on training style, techniques, nutrition and how to get the most out of workouts based on your goals.

Fantastic experience: In my honest view, I’ve never seen a Personal trainer work the way mark does. Taking every detail into account and making it as comfortable and effective a process as it can be. I had previously gone through an illness that caused damage to my joints, and mark helped me get my technique right giving me no issue to push myself with further risk of injury. He is dedicated to making the people he works with the best form of themselves and it’s an absolute pleasure to see the difference he makes to people. :)

Fantastic experience: Mark has outstanding knowledge of fitness and nutrition. He continues to educate me and enhance my training methods so that I can reach my best potential. He has a very kind and professional nature, and makes you feel at ease. I would 100% recommend pure performance to everyone. Thank you for all your help Mark!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely smashed through a long standing plateau due to Marks guidance and expert knowledge. Doesn't matter if you are a beginner or have been training for years he will improve your performance and help you reach your goals, not only that he is a top guy and has taught me a lot of things for inside the gym and out. Cheers mate

Fantastic experience: Training with mark is a joy ! Really knows how to get the best results quickly and give advice that works , he is the first trainer who has trained me to make sense of getting the best out of your workout, don’t let this man go

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Mark enough. He is one of the most knowledgeable people when it comes to fitness that I know. When it comes to the basics, his nutrition plan is incredible as it has so much variety and it does not really feel like a diet. Training plans are never boring and work towards your specific goal. Where I feel that Mark really stands out is his attitude, knowledge and determination to actually help you achieve what you want. I have been working with Mark for just over two months after I stopped working with someone who had no idea what they were doing and because of that my health deteriorated significantly. Mark instantly helped me out and educated me how to diet properly and now I feel honestly better than ever. Would honestly recommend him to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Expert - The only way to describe mark. After just 20 minutes Mark totally fixed my front squat. Before I had never been able to get my elbows or wrists into the correct position and I could not get any depth without hip winking and overbalancing forward. Within 20 minutes Mark had my form totally fixed and I now have full depth with much better stability and no shoulder straining. It's really useful how he explains the reasons behind even the smallest of adjustments he makes you do. I cannot recommend mark enough!

Fantastic experience: Mark is full of awesomeness. The knowledge that he possess in regards to strength training for women is remarkable. I had struggled to loss fat for a longtime until I had PT session with Mark. With a combination of a personalised training program and nutrition plan, adopted for me due to my diary allergy, I was able to loss 10kg and my bodyshape has changed significantly, of which I am loving. I am strong, confident and happy. I have also never been able to fully squat due to my reduced ankle mobility and hip mis-alignment, with his support and care I have a great technique. Mark is a kind soul. I looked forward to every session despite being at 5am 4times a week :) I would recommend Mark to everyone who requires a more professional personal PT. Thank you Mark.

Fantastic experience: What a Guy! What a Business! I started working with Mark (Pure Performance) just under a year ago and already am amazed with the results and services I have received. I’ve learnt sooo much and gained huge amounts of confidence not just going into the gym and picking up the weights but overall confidence as well! Mark has an outstanding knowledge of training within the gym and will definitely help you achieve those goals whatever they may be! Along with this Mark has helped me massively with my nutrition and making sure this fits in with my lifestyle and work schedule. Over the last 10 months Mark has helped me massively to achieve my personal fitness and nutritional aims as well as confidence and body posture! I have been amazed with the results and would throughly recommend Pure Performance! Go for it!

Fantastic experience: Mark is a brilliant personal trainer, that really knows his stuff! He got my into the best shape I've been in, as well as feeling healthier with a clean diet. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended very supportive and informative. I never expected to see these great results so soon.I finally see my body changing and I feel better about my health and personality altogether. I truly could have never done so much on my own. Thank you so much Mark for all the hard work you have put in me.

Fantastic experience: I am 62 years old and whilst active and a qualified diver I have never been that sporty and consequently never really been in shape. Yea I decided I wanted that to change and signed up with Mark a couple of years ago pre covid. He taught me the need for appropriate nutrition and took me through a time of calorie deficit to get my weight and body fat down. We got to 20% body fat but I wanted to gain some muscle. Mark’s tailored approach is helpful and practical even adapting exercises to accommodate a self inflicted shoulder injury. I have due to him made some progress and have the tools now to keep going I can’t recommend Mark and his Pure Performance approach highly enough

Fantastic experience: I love the guy's work, takes in account your biology and needs then together with your works a plan to achieve your goal. It helped me to build practical and transferable strength, confidence and mental focus to physically dominate in close contact sports like judo and bjj. Very competent with lots of expertise, highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Mark is brilliant! He has helped me to better understand my nutrition, weight training and even my own brain. He takes on a personal and caring approach and treats you like a friend while supporting you to achieve your goals. He knows his clients inside and out and I have never seen a more consistent and happy bunch of people coming into the gym to work with him. People look forward to their gym sessions because of Mark. His training methods are the best and he will teach you things that stick with you for life.

Fantastic experience: Amazing service , complete support from fitness &nutrition and work from the ground up.

Fantastic experience: Just finished a session with Mark, so am feeling great. I am in my late seventies and have been with Mark about a year. He has really helped my "stiff joints" and I feel a lot more mobile. He is great with nutrition too. Top marks from me!

Fantastic experience: I've been working with Pure Performance for a couple of weeks now. Through really consistent training and nutrition plans, I've already started seeing results. The plans are tailored around my own goals and what is achievable for me personally. Would full recommend to anyone who wants to achieve their fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: What Mark doesn't know about PT probably isn't worth knowing. Took me through a number of protocols and got me in great shape, which is exactly what I asked for. Also a thoroughly nice guy.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant, been with jo jo for about 4 weeks doing weight training and it's really paying off. I've learnt so much and gained confidence in going into a gym and picking up weights. I've lost about 7 pounds and each week improved my technique on the weights. Jo jo and mark are so easy to talk to and to get along with. They always give 100% and explain each move you are doing and how it will help you get the results you want. Perfect work and results each time

Fantastic experience: Truly excellent! Serious Personal Training really are set apart by what results they can help you produce. I started with a simple goal but I didn't imagine the depth of knowledge & bank of skills they have to produce real change. 3 stone of body fat loss so far! But also stronger, full of energy & much fitter. Results like that don't happen by chance. Thanks Mark & Jojo

Fantastic experience: SPT are fantastic they have helped me so much to lose weight and get in shape. It's really helped me personally and they are great with teams. They were amazing at leading my team from work through a six month tough mudder training programme. Their training and support made the day so enjoyable.

Fantastic experience: Great experience and life lessons learnt from day one. Both Mark and Jojo prioritised my health and lifestyle before we got stuck into training which was really refreshing and this approach really benifited me and that transfered over to the training.

Fantastic experience: Mark and Jojo provide a first class professional and friendly service, and guarantee results.Their level of knowledge and teaching in both Personal Training and Nutrition have and continue to benefit me enormously.Totally recommended.

Fantastic experience: Mark at SPT is excellent! After a life changing operation his dietary knowledge and training skills helped me to stabilise my weight and get back to fitness. Their support has been superb.
