MY son dont relate with many people but he has enjoyed his gym sessions very much with george and it been pleasure to watch him get stronger. Would highly recommend George for his patience and understanding. sadly we have to stop due to relocation overseas. thank you George for all your hard work with Cody x

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend George’s bootcamp. Never been a fan of group exercise but it’s such a comfortable and motivational environment full of people of all abilities. Such a good start to the weekend!

Fantastic experience: I was always nervous to try a bootcamp but I’ve loved going to George’s classes. The workout is easy to follow and suits all fitness ability, would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: George is great, so encouraging and supportive. He goes at your pace with no pressure. Would definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend enough! Saturday bootcamp with George is such a good workout. He tailors it to all abilities and makes it a comfortable judgement-free space. Thanks George!

Fantastic experience: George is great, so encouraging and supportive. He goes at your pace with no pressure. Would definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: I’ve been having PTs from George for over a month now and I think he’s marvellous. I feel so at ease when I’m there And I’m getting so much from these sessions, fitness, positivity about exercise and lots of knowledge for how I can progress with my fitness long term. Couldn’t recommend him enough.

Fantastic experience: First Step FItness has been exactly what I've needed. I arrived in Redcar over two years ago, and because of my busy schedule I need to be accountable to someone to help me grow more fit. The sessions are done professionally with care, and I have lost weight and gotten stronger. The health advice has helped me to change my bad habits into good ones. This is the best physical fitness space in this town. Great equipment, great workouts, great advice.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic bootcamp, every Saturday morning. George is the best motivator, always pushes you to better yourself! Great group of people, lots of fun

Fantastic experience: George is an excellent PT he has helped me so much with my confidence when it come to exercise. He is very patient and pushes you to limits you didn't know existed. Highly recommend 10/10

Fantastic experience: I joined First Step Fitness in the summer of 2022 and have been going ever since. George is great and makes you feel completely at ease, not matter what size you are or how not so confident you feel, he takes his time to work on you for you. After 4 months I feel so much stronger in myself and I enjoy attending his 1-1 sessions. If you’re looking at getting a PT definitely check him out!

Fantastic experience: I started with first step fitness in December, Having never been to a personal trainer I was feeling very anxious about starting, there was no need as George is really friendly and knowledgeable, he put me at ease straight away. After a few weeks I can feel my fitness is improving and can see a little difference too! The gym is very clean and a great place to train.

Fantastic experience: Would totally recommend, excellent PT and great service

Fantastic experience: George is a great PT! I have been going to him for years. Pushing me to do my best without breaking me! Class music too!

Fantastic experience: Where do I even begin. George came into my life a short time ago when my mind and body were weak. I was hurting and broken to say the least. I never could have imagined then I would be where I am now. Not only am I stronger mentally and physically but I have grew in confidence. I have lost a lot of weight and inches but I have gained friendships and laughter. George is supportive and damn right harsh at times (I am usually thankful later). He is without a doubt the right personal trainer for me and my progress is completely owed to him.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend George. His story is inspirational! He's not just training my body...he's helping me train my mind aswell. George is very knowledgeable...he knows exactly how far to push you and all within your limits.

Fantastic experience: I was so nervous coming to George At First Step Fitness for my first PT, I had done group classes else where but never a 1-1. I’ve never been made to feel more welcome and I honestly didn’t have anything to worry about, he’s super friendly, dead chatty and easy to get along with. The work outs are brutal! (In a good way!!) it’s never the same either so you never know what to expect which I like, and you leave feeling like you’ve really been pushed. George is really encouraging and pushed you to do your best and that one (or two) extra reps even when you feel like you physically can’t do any more but with the encouragement you can do it! 1000% id recommend First Step Fitness

Fantastic experience: Five months in and what a great turn around. I am 59 years old and five months ago I was very overweight, and fed up with my lethargic self. Then I found First Step Fitness and I am so glad I did. Fantastic 1 to 1 training. Forget the same old boring routines in the gym, this is the way training should be. Every session is different and fun, YES training can be fun! George is very knowledgeable and knows how far to push me, with lots of encouragement. The gym is very well equipped, and clean, and George has a great understanding of my targets and goals, and is very motivational. If you're concerned, then don't be. Take the First Step that WILL help you to make the change to your health and wellbeing. Onwards and upwards. Stay strong.

Fantastic experience: George is lovely and encouraging; he gets you to do a variety of exercises so you know you're working out your whole body! His PT sessions are a great way to get started if you're new to fitness.

Fantastic experience: Been training with George just over a year now and in that time he has helped me lose 8stone He pushes me out of my comfort zones to get the results i want. I was very anxious and nervous when i 1st went, but i left with the feeling i cant wait to go back and do it all over again. He helped me gain my confidence to go back to the gym and make me feel better about my self Excellent trainer who goes the extra mile for his clients

Fantastic experience: George is a brilliant fitness instructor! I have done both PT and bootcamp with him and his knowledge is second to none. I have worked with other trainers in the past but have never felt so at ease with one. He is motivational without being too pushy and makes me feel at inspired and confident to do the workouts. He is so enthusiastic about the benefits of exercise and well being and shares his knowledge constantly. The gym he has is exceptionally clean, well equipped and first class! Thanks George!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with George for about 18 months now. Initially it was necessity as I need to lose weight quickly for a medical operation which I achieved but enjoyed it so much that I returned post op. Every session is different so you never get bored. I also attend George’s weekly Bootcamp sessions which are tough but fun. I would highly recommend George to anyone wanting to lose weight who like me is self conscious about going to a gym.

Fantastic experience: Really down to earth and gives me the confidence to do those things that I think I can't. I've got a long way to go, but it's a start.

Fantastic experience: I have been wanting a personal trainer for a while now and I am glad I went with George, I feel that I have become a lot more confident when going to the gym as I know what to do and how to use the equipment properly. I would recommend to anyone

Fantastic experience: Been with George just over 3 months now and can honestly say Iv never felt better. The motivation and drive he gives to get me through each session is amazing. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Great training space with a good range of equipment to use. George is a great trainer who pushes you to your own capabilities. Very enjoyable place to get fit

Fantastic experience: Started training for nearly a year with george at personal amd bootcamps very down to earth makes the work out fun and different each week with my current injury gave me stretches to do amd asks how im doing great guy!

Fantastic experience: 5 * George is brilliant at what he does makes you feel at ease. I've been to him for over a year now and wouldn't go to anyone else

Fantastic experience: After a few stumbles elsewhere, due to personal mental and physical issues, I finally got my training up and going again thanks to First Step. After an initial chat, it didn't take long until I realised I wasn't only just training the way I wanted too, I was learning how to train more effectively and look after myself, happy days

Fantastic experience: George is great at motivating me to get the best out of my work out, pushing me to improve every week. He's very knowlegable and makes sure my form is good to prevent injury, while still allowing me to test my limits, especially when it comes to weight training

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome. I had never had a trainer until I started working with George. He's very dedicated to his job and you can tell he genuinely cares about not only your fitness, but your well being also. He keeps me motivated but also keeps our sessions super fun. Highly recommend this dude!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to George for 7 weeks now and feel much better in myself, im also fitter and stronger. George is brilliant really as he knows just how far to go to push you to your limits. We do something different each week so a really good workout. Will definitely keep going. Thanks George

Fantastic experience: George has been my personal trainer for the last year. He helped me get ready for my wedding and have the confidence to wear the dress of my dreams. He's a fantastic guy that offer support and encouragement without letting me slack off on the effort!!

Fantastic experience: I've been working with George for two months and have thoroughly enjoyed every minute. His sessions are interesting, challenging and fun and he really motivates you to do your very best. I would recommend First Step Fitness to everyone regardless of age or ability. George is a great personal trainer who genuinely cares about his clients. Thank you George.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant!! I’m 52 years old and felt myself slowing down and getting sluggish. I’ve never exercised apart from walking and needed to do something more.... then I heard about George!! I’m quite a shy person and it took me a while to get in touch but I bit the bullet and never looked back! If I was at a gym on my own I would of stopped when the going got tough but George encourages me to carry on, he pushes me knowing I can achieve what I need to do and I do it....... I’ve shocked myself a few times! It’s hard work but it’s amazing, I’ve had 6 sessions with George and I can certainly see and feel the difference already in my body and fitness levels! Every session is different, you just don’t know what he has in store for you until you’re there! I can’t wait for the next session even though I know it’s gonna be hard work - it’s so totally worth it!! I would recommend anyone wanting to get fit and feel good about themselves to get in touch with George, he knows what he’s talking about and explains every exercise and process that your going through - making it even more interesting! And his music is brilliant too!!

Fantastic experience: I've been training with George for just over a year. I've lost over 4 stone and over 50 inches. I would highly recommend him. He is one of the most inspirational people I've met. A training session is never boring and he pushes me to my limits and beyond. Never thought I would enjoy exercise. George has changed my whole view on fitness and a healthy lifestyle

Fantastic experience: I have been training with George for about 10 months, I can safely say that I am hooked, the sessions are fun and I always leave with a real sense of achievement, always pushed that little bit further, George is a really approachable guy who tailors the sessions to your needs and fitness levels, I can't recommend George highly enough! Thanks

Fantastic experience: Great tunes always being played whenever your working out, great laugh and good advice on where to improve technique wise.

Fantastic experience: I attend first step fitness boot camp every Saturday morning. It really is a fabulous way to exercise and have a laugh with some lovely people. Totally judgement free and george always encourages you along the way! Definitely worth turning up and giving it a go!!

Fantastic experience: I started training on a 1-2-1 with George in October 2016. I'd lost weight but wanted to tone up but was too scared to go to a gym. I had seen how much weight George and his partner had lost and it inspired me, so I decided to contact him. I love the fact he can relate to what your going through. He never judges you, and I've never once felt uncomfortable around him. George has a way of getting the best out of you (even when you don't believe in yourself). Its the best thing I've ever done (also the scariest) i only wish I'd started sooner, because I put it off for months! The bootcamp he runs on a Saturday morning is brilliant. Everyone there (male/female) are all normal, friendly people trying to better themselves.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with George a while now and coming from someone who hates the gym, the personal trainer experience is far the best. No week is the same, with different and new exercises that test both your mental and physical strength. Even when I was injured, George had alternatives so I didn't miss out on sessions. A top guy, who is a credit to both his business and clients.

Fantastic experience: George is a fantastic trainer, knowing he has been there and lost weight gained fitness himself seems to keep him humble. He is motivational, pushy enough and keeps it safe and to a pace individual for everyone even in big class'. Very reasonable compared to others in the same profession. Would recommend to anyone wanting to change their life style or just get a bit fitter.

Fantastic experience: An incredible PT I started my fitness journey with George almost a year ago and I have never looked back. Having gone from being a couch potato, I now see him twice a week and get to his boot camp on a Saturday morning when I can as well. I have seen my fitness levels and strength reach places I never thought possible and it's purely down to the dedication that George puts into each and everyone one of his clients. I never thought I'd being saying this, but I now enjoy exercise and genuinely look forward to training with George! He is the most approachable and genuine person you could meet and makes every session different and fun. Always listens to what I'd like to work on and goes the extra mile to help me keep on track when I'm away for business. I could never have another PT after getting an absolute first class service from George. Anyone who is nervous about training with a PT, George is the perfect person for you to go to. I honestly couldn't recommend him any higher. He is the absolute best!
