Leon Baker Fitness: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Have had a few session so far and have loved every single in one of them. All the trainers have a lot of experience and are so nice and encouraging!! Genuinely amazing experience
Fantastic experience: Leon Baker Fitness has been exactly what I was searching for in a gym. Exclusive one-to-one training in a quiet space where the individual client is put first and feels comfortable All the personal trainers are amiable, professional and thorough. The bespoke training programme has been tailored to meet my needs and goals whilst stretching me at the same time. I would highly recommend this gym if you want to get away from those busy, crowded commercial gyms and want to train one-to-one with friendly, expert trainers who care. Four weeks into my programme and I feel fitter, stronger and more confident. Plus I have lost 10lbs so I’m heading in the right direction!
Fantastic experience: I met with Leon for a consultation and we discussed at length my requirements for training and my goals. I then had my first session with my trainer and they had taken all of my concerns into consideration and put together exactly the kind of workout I was hoping for. They are very knowledgeable and are led by what you are comfortable doing with no pressure. I am looking forward to my upcoming sessions and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Fantastic experience: Started off with no experience instantly felt comfortable and relaxed in the environment with the instructor. Techniques I had struggled with instantly they knew how to fix it and help me out.
Fantastic experience: Since working with Leon, my enjoyment and motivation for exercise has reignited. Not only am I feeling stronger, but my previous niggling back pain is non existent; as we’ve worked on my technique and strength of my core. I love that the gym is private and you feel safe to try out new exercises without the pressure of other people around. It’s also great to have unlimited access to all of the equipment; unlike being limited in a commercial gym. Leon will answer any questions I have and has also offered support for my diet day to day. I initially began working with Leon as a recommendation from a friend and have since been working with him over the last six months. I initially wanted to work on my self confidence and energy but I’ve also seen my strength and fitness levels hugely increase in addition to losing inches (always an added bonus!). Leon is not only professional but approachable. He listens to what you want and tailors your sessions to this. If you’re looking for a private space for tailored advice and enjoyable sessions in a safe space, this is your place to go! You’ll come out feeling energised and usually surprise yourself by surpassing your own expectations!

Fantastic experience: 100% recommended. Good studio for training and personalised treatment.
Fantastic experience: Feeling very inspired after my first session with Tom. He listened and understood what I required and pushed me just the right amount to make the session challenging and rewarding without killing me! The privacy the gym offers is exceptional and a real confidence booster. Very happy with everything!!
Fantastic experience: Training session today with Tom went great he was really helpful and demonstrated every exercise
Fantastic experience: I just want to say a big big THANK YOU to Leon and Matt for helping my son with his training and advising him they have been amazing and from just one session I can see a difference in my son confidence.Thank You again
Fantastic experience: The gym setup is pretty unique, owned and run by Personal Trainers who have designed a facility which caters to all people and their individual fitness requirements. Set over two floors there are ample free weights, machines, racks and cardio facilities, for me it has a good feel which is key, a place to workout without the negatives of a public gym. The sessions are one on one and in my experience the rooms are allocated to the PT and client for the duration of that session. I train with Leon whose experience has helped me tweak a workout programme that wasn't quite working. I also have to train around longstanding injuries which are incredibly frustrating but his understanding in these matters shines through, helping elevate difficult workouts into a positive experience.
Fantastic experience: Leon was really friendly & professional. He made me feel at ease and was easy to talk to. Really enjoyed our first session and looking forward to our next one x
Fantastic experience: Thoroughly enjoyed my sessions so far. Both Leon and Tom are very helpful and professional. A pleasant change from working out in a commercial gym. Looking forward to my next session!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Leon and the team, especially Tom if your looking at finding people that understand your fitness goals. The facilities and equipment are perfect. Clean and tidy. They are flexible and work with you. Leon understood my requirements from the moment we first spoke, and I knew then this would be a different experience to previous journeys with PT instructors/ gyms. You have the gym to yourself so no waiting for equipment, no lacking confidence, no excuses. Absolutely top class service. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Just started with Leon and his team been unreal so far. Always looking forward to my next session
Fantastic experience: I am very grateful that I found Leon and Tom L. I first approached Leon when feeling in a bad place – I have chronic autoimmune diseases and medications that have had multiple effects on me both physically and mentally, and I was fed up with feeling so powerless about my situation and my body. I also have a difficult history with gyms and personal trainers, having repeatedly sustained injuries and becoming unwell from being pushed further than my body could handle and then feeling shame because I was unable to meet the demands those trainers had of me. I had very low expectations when I contacted Leon as I was expecting the same treatment as I had in the past, but rather than be disappointed, I was very pleasantly surprised. I was really touched by Leon’s kindness and compassion, and he took the time to talk through everything with me. He knew I was very nervous on the run-up to my first session, and checked in on me and supported me in getting through my severe anxiety about my symptoms and my worries about attending on that first day. Since then I have not looked back. My training is with Tom L, and he has been great to train with. While I am training, Tom guides but is not barking orders at me. If I feel something is not working well for me, Tom welcomes that feedback and then creates reflexive and adaptive solutions tailored to what I can do on that specific day. He is incredibly respectful, and despite me being generally very self-conscious about my illness and my current weight, I do not feel remotely self-conscious around him. Most importantly, while compassionately acknowledging my situation, Tom sees past my illnesses and struggles and works in a way that empowers me to take control of my health and my body. I have never been judged or made to feel like a failure, and as someone who is an expert at avoidance in situations that I perceive to be potentially anxiety-inducing, I am now looking forward to being in the gym, and I am very excited to see where the future will take me working with Leon and the team. I am very grateful to Leon and Tom and cannot say thank you enough!
Fantastic experience: I have managed to go from gym hater to gym lover in just a few weeks! The support is fantastic and it has really helped me with my confidence at using the different equipment/working out in general. After every session, I feel energised and would strongly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Leon is great. He makes you feel at ease very quickly. He really understands what you need in your training and the goals you are trying to achieve. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Great service with great trainers. They challenge you but not so much where you feel things are too hard. The gym has tons of equipment and the one to one setting makes it perfect if you are anxious about training in a more public gym. Leon is very accomodating to all levels and I've found the experience of training there to be extremely rewarding and also very engaging and fun
Thank you Ben for your kind words!
Fantastic experience: I have just joined the gym & am really impressed with the trainers so far and all of the equipment available. It is hugely convenient compared with busy commercial gyms and the programme is completely tailored to your needs. Would 100% recommend to anyone who’s thinking of joining!
We are overjoyed to read your 5-star review! Thank you for your kind words and for supporting our service. We truly appreciate your feedback.

Thank you -
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Leon Baker Fitness. Leon is a great personal trainer who keeps the sessions interesting and keeps me motivated.
We are overjoyed to read your 5-star review! Thank you for your kind words and for supporting our service. We truly appreciate your feedback and are always striving to improve.
Fantastic experience: Great facilities and great staff, helped me with my knee rehabilitation and got me back playing football!! Would really recommend.
Thank you for the review Sam!
Fantastic experience: Just starting with Leon. He was recommended to me by another professional and I can see why. A programme, in a clean efficient gym, from a nice very professional guy, tailored to what you are aiming to achieve, what more can you ask.
Thank you for the fantastic review lain! we are thrilled to hear that you are enjoying it. Thanks again for the support!
Fantastic experience: 5 sessions in and these guys are amazing. Such good support and encouragement tailored to what I want to achieve, they keep you really motivated. And the gym is great, totally private and well equipped. Highly recommended
Thanks for the 5-star review! We are so glad you liked our service.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been using LB Fitness for 6 months and I personally believe using a 1 to 1 session benefits you more than going to a gym on your own. His staff are always pushing you to do your best. I’ve gotten so much fitter since then.
Thanks for the 5-star review! We are so glad you liked our service.
Fantastic experience: My husband and I have 2to1 sessions and these are worked out very well to our combined fitness levels. The weight is still slowly coming off! Of course some would say too slowly, but from experience we have learned that there just are no quick fixes to loose weight that are sustainable. Anyone thinking of doing a course with Leon Baker fitness is in good hands! Go for it, it’s worth it!
Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We are thrilled to hear that you are enjoying our service and appreciate your feedback.
Fantastic experience: Amazing trainer, the best I've ever worked with! He's great at helping you achieve your goals, he makes the sessions fun, he's very motivating, and you won't find better than Leon
Thanks for the 5-star review Mo! We are so glad you liked our service!
Fantastic experience: Leon is by far the best trainer we have ever had. He is very knowledgeable with a strong commitment to his customers. We have been training for over a year and we can definitely see the difference in our physique. We would definitely recommend him.
Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We are thrilled to hear that you are enjoying our service and appreciate your feedback.
Fantastic experience: I have regularly had sessions with Leon Baker Fitness for many years. The Gym is clean, well equipped and the Trainers are knowledgeable and professional. They listen to your needs and at 63 years I have never felt better. Manageable financial packages. I wouldn’t train anywhere else.
Thank you so much for the 5-star review!
Fantastic experience: Leon worked with my autistic boy who was 14 at the time and needed help with strengthening, stretching and balancing exercises to alleviate severe joint pain. S got all these benefits and more from working with Leon. He got strong, learned correct form, and he also gained confidence and all the mental health benefits of exercise. S doesn't experience joint pain any more, he still goes to the gym once a week, trains with the mens water polo teams 3 x per week, and hopes to go to University to study Sport Science. Thanks Leon, for putting S at ease and helping him to experience success.
Thank you - such a lovely young lad and a credit to you
Fantastic experience: I have started training with Leon and Kryssa a few weeks ago and I can only recommend it. The equipment in the gym is new and of the highest quality. The workouts they put together are perfectly tailored to my needs and really focus on the areas I want to target. They are always different and they never get boring. A highly professional team which listens, communicates clearly and wants the best for you. Don't hesitate to book your first session, I can guarantee you you will not regret it.
Thank you for the glowing review! We are grateful for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: Leon quickly put me at ease, made me feel that my needs were listened to and has been patient and compassionate with various health issues I have faced. Responsive, good availability of trainers, free parking. As someone who fears the gym, working with trainer Kryssa has been wonderful- she is knowledgeable and encouraging, sessions are varied and I feel like my confidence is increasing. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your feedback! Means a lot!
Fantastic experience: Started with Leon about a month ago. Was a little nervous and self conscious at first but Leon’s style put my at ease quickly. Private 1:1 sessions run at a good pace and are targeted around my objectives - primarily to have a more balanced lifestyle (also to have guilt free cheese on the weekend!). He takes the time to explain what we’re doing and why we’re doing it - as well as giving me support on food and supplements. highly recommend for anyone looking to get fitter!
Wow, thank you for the 5-star review! We're glad you liked our service.
Fantastic experience: Leon is an excellent trainer who fully understands his clients and what they need/want to achieve. I finished every session knowing I had trained to my maximum ability with Leon directing and motivating me along the way. Would 100% recommend.
Thank you for the great review Imogen!
Fantastic experience: Leon was super chatty, super knowledgeable and really easy to connect with! Definitely pushed me in the right direction with my physical fitness and mental. Highly recommend
Thank you for the glowing review! Much Appreciated!
Fantastic experience: Brilliant personal training in a private and well equipped gym. Very conveniently located in Wincheap with free parking. A really comfortable way to train with great facilities.
Thank you for the review! We are grateful for your kind words!
Fantastic experience: Have been training with Leon for a few months now and he has been amazing, he has helped me gain noticeable strength and overall fitness and has pushed me to achieve my goals. Would highly recommend to anyone.
Thank you for the glowing review! We are grateful for your kind words and are pleased to know that you would recommend us! Thank you for choosing us!"
Fantastic experience: Leon is a great PT, thoroughly enjoyed training with him. he has certainly helped me kick start my journey to achieving my goals. I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone looking to get into shape.
Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We are thrilled to hear that you are enjoying our service and appreciate your feedback Rishil!
Fantastic experience: Lovely, clean gym. Leon has been very helpful getting me back into working out. Kryssa is also a fantastic trainer making sessions work around my injuries etc whilst pushing me where I need it. Was recommended Leon by a colleague and I would have no hesitation recommending this gym to anyone.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a 5-star review. Your feedback is greatly appreciated!
Fantastic experience: Would 100% recommend. Been training with Leon, Kryssa and Rachel for the last few weeks and have been absolutely loving it. I've never really managed to get to grips with fitness or building healthy habits etc and with the big '40' just around the corner, I was keen to get started (never too late! ). I was apprehensive about the prospect of going straight into a gym and not knowing even where to start, so after a google session and a look at the website I decided to reach out to Leon who booked me straight in for a consultation. I knew within a few of minutes of speaking to him I'd come to the right place. He's very professional / knowledgeable and quickly put me at ease. These guys know exactly how to get the best out of you without leaving you feeling over-trained and fed up. The perfect amount of support and encouragement in my view. The gym itself is perfect size and it's a real treat to have it to yourself for the session. I've already started to see and feel the benifits of the training I've done over the last few weeks. Definitely feeling fitter and stronger. Looking forward to where I'll be in a few weeks time.
Thanks for the 5-star review! Means the world to us!
Fantastic experience: My husband and I been working with Leon for several weeks now, he is very knowledgeable and has had to work around injuries we already had. We can see our fitness has improved and our body shapes changing and we have much more energy now. He has been great at making it enjoyable so we have never felt like not turning up, it has definitely been worth every but of time and money we have invested in ourselves. We are coming to the end of our first block booking and have already committed to the next we cannot imagine going back to training on our own.
Thank you so much for the 5-star review!
Fantastic experience: I had not been to a gym in several years and had lost my will and enthusiasm to do so. Also, due to old injuries I felt wary about aggravating them. I knew that I really needed to do something to increase my fitness levels but was quite shy about going to a big gym. I know several people that had used Leon and I had seen great results. I had my first session today and was made to feel at ease straight away. Leon worked around my injuries and reminded me that if there were any excercises that I didnt like, to let him know so that we could then find an alternative. Having a persoanal 1-1 session allowed me to relax and not worry about people around me. I did my first plank today in years, onwards and upwards :0
Thank you so much for the 5-star review! Means a lot!
Fantastic experience: I have experienced three sessions in this gym so far, and am happy to be going back for more! Leon is easy-going and friendly, although definitely not making it too easy for me (but not too hard either)! I don’t normally like going to the gym, but I don’t feel uncomfortable in Leon’s one-to-one personal training set-up, where there’s no one else using the gym at the same time. It feels relaxed, even though I’m lifting weights working on improving muscle tone. From my experience so far, I would be very happy to recommend Leon to anyone looking for a personal trainer in the Canterbury area.
Thank you so much for the 5-star review!
Fantastic experience: Been working with Leon for 7 months now, I'm not a stranger to the gym, I have 40 years experience of gym training, Leon has provided an excellent flexible exercise routine, which he adapts to our needs on an ongoing basis, challenging us to Improve our fitness and strength. Leon is very knowledgeable and personable, I look forward to continuing our exercise regime on a long term basis.
Thanks for the review Gary! We are so glad you liked our service!
Fantastic experience: So i've been training at Leon Baker Fitness for a few weeks now and I could not be happier with my sessions so far. There has been sweat, pain and lots of swearing (from me) but i've enjoyed every minute of it, even if my body hasn't. Leon provides a professional, positive setting for you to get your work outs done. I often feel encouraged though I feel he enjoys making me suffer a little too much . He has also been patient in helping me work around a shoulder injury i'm currently suffering with. If an exercise is causing pain to my shoulder he is quick to suggest another one that may be of benefit. We always find a way. The new Trainer, Kryssa has been a wonderful edition to his studio. She adds a sunny, enthusiastic presence to the team and she always pushes me to do more than my comfort zone would have previously allowed and i'm very grateful for that...the super sets, not so much. All in all they have been worth every penny and when my current sessions are all finished, I will seriously consider going back for more.
Thank you so much for the 5-star review!
Fantastic experience: I started training with Leon after having a baby a few months ago. He has helped me to Start gaining my strength back, and reignited my love for training. I would recommend Leon to anyone, regardless of your confidence level, or previous experience. He tailors workouts to your specific needs and goals, and is professional, as well as extremely friendly. Leon now has access to his own private gym/studio, which is great for those that don’t like large gyms. He cleans all his equipment between clients and always maintains a safe social distance to ensure his clients safety. I can’t wait to get hack to training with Leon once the lockdown is over!
Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We are thrilled to hear that you are enjoying our service and appreciate your feedback.
Fantastic experience: Leon is an excellent personal trainer. He has a very relaxed, calm manner about him, but he still manages to push you as far as you're able to go. He listens to what you want, but also tailors the training so that you get the most out of it each time. I have been really impressed with his sessions and would recommend him to anyone who is thinking of starting to train or get fit in general.
Thank you so much for the review! We are glad you enjoyed you training !
Fantastic experience: Leon is brilliant at what he does - he has pushed me further than I ever thought possible, and I have started to see the benefits of regular sessions. I feel healthier, and am noticeably fitter. His sessions feel informal, like going to the gym with a mate, yet they are structured and well thought out. Leon is friendly and encouraging, and tailors all sessions to his clients specific needs. He has given me a huge boost in confidence as well as fitness, and I would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat, whether you are a first time gym goer, or whether you just need a few pointers to take you to the next level.
Thank you so much for the 5-star review! So happy you loved your results!
Fantastic experience: Really friendly. Having never visited a gym before he has guided us through the gym and it's equipment. He has picked up issues with movement that we would otherwise have missed. Would definitely recommend him. He has given us confidence to visit the gym independently as well.
Thank you so much for the 5-star review!
Fantastic experience: Needing a bit of motivation, I decided to sign up with a personal trainer - Leon was recommended to me by a friend and after my third of 5 sessions with him today, I’ve just signed up for another 12! Was quite nervous at first and thought it would be very intimidating but he is really lovely and all the users of the gym just get on and do their own thing so I don’t feel self conscious at all! Already feeling the benefits of working out and can’t wait to see the results. Am really enjoying the sessions, lots of variety and I’ve been pushed more than I thought I would be! (More than I thought I could be too to be honest) would definitely recommend
Thank you for the review! so happy you would recommended us !
Fantastic experience: I have been working with Leon for the past few months now. I was stuck in a bit of a rut and had been feeling that I needed to make a change and Leon then came along. I had tried working out with various DVDs and programs, but I always found I got bored and gave up after a month, so training with Leon has been just what I need. No two workouts are the same and I never know what to expect when Leon arrives, which is great. Leon was very quick to identify what drives me and uses that to keep me pushing throughout my workout. He’s always on hand to offer advice on nutrition and workouts to do in between our sessions and advice is very tailored to my needs. Leon is very easy going and makes you feel at ease. Working out has become fun again and I look forward to our sessions, even the leg ones!! If you are looking to make a change in your life, I could not recommend Leon more highly, you won’t regret it!
Thank you so much for the 5-star review!
Fantastic experience: Having had a couple of sessions with Leon already I’ve started to notice a difference in my confidence at the gym and what to and what not to do etc. He is really friendly and puts you through your paces! Encourages you and also supports you when you need it. I recommend Leon completely!
Thank you so much for the 5-star review!
Fantastic experience: I've been loving my gym sessions with Leon! I'd never been to the gym before but now feel confident and enjoy every session. I feel motivated to keep exercising and feel my fitness is improving. I'm looking forward to continuing my training.
Thank you so much for the 5-star review! Glad we was able to make you feel confident !
Fantastic experience: Leon is great and I would highly recommend him as a personal trainer. He motivates you and pushes you to your limit. I never used to like going to the gym but now I enjoy every session. My fitness and strength has increased greatly since training with Leon. If your looking for a trainer Leon is the man!
Thank you so much for the 5-star review!
Fantastic experience: Leon is brilliant!! I used to hate the gym - I found it so boring and only used to use about 3 machines...as I didn’t have a clue how the others even worked! Leon pushes you much further than what you’d ever do on your own and really encourages you to keep going...even when you think there is no chance in hell that you can do anymore. I really enjoy my sessions and cannot believe how quickly I have progressed! I would highly recommend Leon - he has completely changed my opinion of the gym and I look forward to my next session...which I never thought id hear myself say!
Thank you so much for the 5-star review!
Fantastic experience: I've only been training with Leon for a few weeks but would really recommend him to anyone looking for a personal trainer. He's been really great at listening to my goals and likes/dislikes and tailoring a program for me. He's really helped me feel motivated to get back into the gym and get in shape after not having exercised for a while!!
Thank you so much for the 5-star review!
Fantastic experience: A very friendly Trainer who motivates you to your best ability
Thank you jelena!!
Fantastic experience: I've just started with Leon and already he's completlety changed my attitude and motovation towards food and working out! He's very friendly but don't let that fool you as he pushes you so hard whilst training! Looking foward to positive changes! Thanks again mate!
Thank you! And keep pushing and achieving!
Fantastic experience: Leon is excellent and has helped me and many other people reach their goals he is a brilliant person and a brilliant personal trainer I wouldn't be where I am now with out his input and help. I am the fittest I've ever been from his help. So if you want a fantastic service and a friendly service and a great trainer Leon is the person to get you to what you want out of your body and mind.
It's been great to work with you!!
Fantastic experience: Leon is fantastic, I was extremely nervous but he made me feel very at ease. He keeps me really motivated and he is really friendly. Leon always stays in touch during the week to see how I am getting on. I would highly recommend.
Great work and well done for all your hard work!!
Fantastic experience: Leon is a brilliant personal trainer. He has tailored a really in depth and understandable Fitness plan specific to my goals, and he doesn't just teach you the technique and tell you to get on with it though, he tells you exactly what it's exercising and why it's important, which really benefits both the motivation to do the plan, as you know it's doing good, but it helps someone like me who is fairly new to the fitness world understand everything that I'm doing. He is also so friendly and easy going, making him really easy to get on with. He's the perfect trainer for anyone with any aim.
You have just kept on improving!! Well done joe!!
Fantastic experience: Leon has been fantastic he's built me a nutrition plan and pushes me every session I have with him! He even messages me on a weekly basis to check my weigh ins. He's very friendly and willing to go the extra mile to ease you into the gym environment. A definite recommendation from me. Top job Leon!
Amazing work tom!!
Fantastic experience: Really loving my training with Leon! He is able to motivate and push me to my limits. I was looking for someone to help me take my training to the next level and he has certainly done just that. I have already started seeing the results after just a few sessions. Could not recommend Leon highly enough!
Thank you for your kind words!! Never trained such a hard working professional.
Fantastic experience: Despite a bikini deadline fast approaching in only a couple of months, I was still finding it extremely difficult to self motivate in exercise and my recent attempts at gyms have never lasted. I am so glad I bit the bullet and got in contact with Leon, as although much more challenging, his tailored plan of exercises are much more inspiring than just clock and calorie watching on a X-trainer! He has given me the kick that I needed and instead of dreading working out, I look forward to it! Only a couple of sessions in to my training, I am already noticing a difference in my body, happiness and largely my motivation! Leon is incredibly friendly, encouraging and very supportive and for the first time I finally feel that with his help, my goal of getting in shape and feeling bikini confident by January is achievable!
Enjoy your travels!! You are now beach ready!!!
Fantastic experience: A fantastic personal trainer! Keeps you motivated and Pushes you enough to achieve your goals! Friendly and helpful at all times whatever the time of day and always there to offer advice when needed!! Choose Leon if you want someone to help you reach your goals whilst having fun doing it!

Thank you so much for the 5-star review!
Fantastic experience: Leon hasn't been my PT for long, but i am already seeing results. If like me you lack self esteem and motivation, Leon gives you the encouragement you need.
Thank you so much for the 5-star review!
Fantastic experience: A few sessions in with leon and loving it already feeling my body change..sessions are great fun and go so quickly. i am a gym hater and he has changed my way of thinking when it comes to working out i no longer dread having to work out.. would highly reccommend
Fantastic experience: Great- really understands the individual needs and pushes you to achieve your best. It's a love hate relationship! I hate exercise but Leon is helping me face my exercise fears!
Fantastic experience: Since iv started training with Leon my fitness levels have massively improved, he always encourages me to push myself to ensure I meet my goals, changing my program weekly keeping me motivated, and shows continuous support outside of training sessions too I would highly recommend Leon as a personal trainer to anyone who's looking to loose weight, improve diet, keep fit and stay healthy, thanks Leon looking forward to my next session
Fantastic experience: A few sessions in and can already feel the difference... I'm enjoying it, which makes it a whole lot better! Would highly recommend if you're like me and need the encouragement to push yourself and the motivation! Thank you Leon!
Fantastic experience: After having two babies close together and a wedding coming up I decided to ask Leon to help me loose some weight and improve my fitness levels before the big day! He has made me feel at ease, comfortable and been really encouraging! I have noticed the results after only two sessions. He has even helped us by writing us a diet plan. I would definitely reccomend him to anyone.
Fantastic experience: Leon has been vital in changing my diet. He provided us with a fully structured diet plan which has been enjoyable to stick to, suggesting good, healthy, quick and easy to make meals. Leon has changed the way we eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. He is always available to provide tips and expert advice on what to eat and the benefits of a healthy and balanced diet.
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Leon as the best personal trainer in the area (Canterbury). I had very specific requirements (need to train at 6 am at my house, cannot run or jump, need constant encouraging and gentle pushing) and very exact goals. Leon managed to make it fun and achievable. He is extremely professional, polite, calm and does make you feel that he is on your side (so you do feel ok making those confessions about chocolate cakes and nights out without feeling too guilty). He is never late and he has a very fair cancellation policy (which is perfect if you have small children). He does create the meal plan for you that is altered for your lifestyle and tastes (although it does not include champagne:-)). Also Leon guides you through the variety of vitamins and helps you to find those that you actually need. The money is SO worth it - turned out cheaper then paying for a gym membership, car park and nanny, so I can still do it even if my son is unwell. So, I wish I knew him earlier as it is exactly what I needed. Thank you!!!
Fantastic experience: I have known Leon Backer for years. He's trained for many years before coming a fitness coach so has many years experience behind him. Leon has many happy clients myself included and will push you to reach your goal. Leon really does care about his work and makes every effort to make you feel at home, no mater what stage of fitness you maybe at. Looking for a fitness coach with out being intimidated Leon is the man for you! Couldn't rate him enough! Thanks Leon for all your hard work :-)
Fantastic experience: I couldn't recommend Leon more! He is probably the most organized and knowledgeable PT I've ever had, I am constantly being pushed and lifting weights I thought I wouldn't be able to do. He is very proactive, continuously helping me move forward with every area, from flexibility, weight lifting techniques and fitness. I really enjoy training with Leon! Thank you Leon for all the hard work so far!
Fantastic experience: Leon is friendly, helpful & professional. He works hard, is committed & makes the sessions enjoyable. He is helping me with fitness, strength, speed & weight loss for the Indoor Cricket World Cup. Although I have not left much time to achieve what I need to, Leon remains positive & encouraging & is working hard, in helping me achieve my goal. CJ
Thank you so much for the 5-star review!
Fantastic experience: Personally couldn't recommend Leon highly enough. From our first meeting where he listen to where I am in life right now and what my long term goals are. From a person who struggles meeting new people and suffers in crowds I felt instantly comfortable. Then the hard work started but for once it became a joy, Leon worked on a programme suited to my personal needs and for the first time I wanted to go to the gym. I broke down some personal barriers with his help and can honestly say I can wait to keep pushing myself. Results are better than expected and here is to the next session of hard work. Sessions are fun, energetic and hard. Goals are not easy but Leon will give you the motivation and desire to break down those walls and keep pushing. On to the next session…….
Thank you so much for the 5-star review!
Fantastic experience: I had a brilliant time working with Leon until suffering a self inflicted injury - nothing to do with Leon. I was a mess, out of shape, bad back, eczema. Psychologically Leon built up my confidence and physically he got me into shape - no more bad back, no more eczema and a new self belief. He's a great trainer, especially for an oldy like me who isn't really a gym person. I would totally recommend him to anyone regardless of age or fitness.
Thank you so much for the 5-star review!
Fantastic experience: Leon is amazing... It had been over 10 years since i had been inside a gym, i was completely horrified at the idea of others seeing how unfit i was but Leon made it easy. He is encouraging and patient, but also makes sure i push myself to do the most i can. Without him i would still be sat at home on the sofa thinking about getting fit. I would recommend him to anyone who is completely unfit like i was, but also for those who already have a good level of fitness and want to up their game.
Fantastic experience: I've been training with Leon for a good couple of years now, and he is a fantastic personal trainer! He's always friendly, professional and very patient! Sessions are always good fun and Leon is always encouraging. He listens to your needs and goals and tailors a programme specifically for you. A wonderful personal trainer and I would highly recommend him to anyone, no matter what their fitness goals are!
Thank you so much for the 5-star review!
Fantastic experience: Leon was organised,knowledgable,motivational and in general a brilliant pt. the workouts are extremely adaptable and completely suited to individuals needs and goals. Brilliant trainer and I would recommend using his services.
Fantastic experience: I would describe myself as a 'personal trainer's nightmare'; often lacking motivation, often having an excuse and I don't really relish the thought of exercise and healthy eating. That said, in the last 2 months with Leon's help I have lost 1 stone in weight. I think it's the most I've ever lost in one go without giving up. Leon has made my personal training sessions work for me and has fitted them around all my other commitments. He has kept me interested by using different regimes and changing up sessions. Leon's approach to sessions and my goal to lose weight has been one of encouragement and understanding; he hasn't made me feel bad for those occasional gin & tonics or that cheese board I couldn't refuse. But he has tried to keep me focused so that my treat days don't turn into treat weeks and months...The sessions are relaxed and fun and its only when the hour is up you realise that you've busted your gut for the last 60 minutes. I am very pleased with my progress so far and cannot recommend Leon highly enough.
Pleasure working with you Kate, glad you are happy with the service and the results so far.
Fantastic experience: Personal training with Leon Baker is the most positive investment I have ever made towards my own health and wellbeing. Being strong and fit is an awesome feeling but one that is so easy to take for granted until it's gone. Work, travel, injury, and health issues interrupted my opportunity to exercise. When I did get back to the gym at my local sports centre I felt uncomfortable and self conscious. During the only times I was able to go there the place was packed, the machines all occupied and no parking spaces available. I tried new programmes with the instructors there but never really knew if I was doing the exercises right until pain told me I wasn't. I tried to get back into sports I'd previously enjoyed but lack of strength and worsening back problems limited my progress until a friend mentioned Leon Baker. I contacted Leon who invited me to a free trial session at a studio called Exclusive Fitness. The gym was easily accessible, well equipped but not overwhelming and I immediately felt at ease there. Leon took the time to listen to my attitude and aims towards personal fitness. He researched the joint issues I have and put together a program specific to my needs. I went right back to basics to regain my core stability and spent time learning the proper techniques before doing any exercise move. Coordination is not my best skill but Leon is always patient and keeps working with me until I master each new move. He constantly develops my programme so that I am always challenged and never bored! The flexibility of booking training sessions to fit in with work and other commitments is particularly helpful. When I'm unable to get to the gym the messages and advice sent regularly by Leon help keep me on target and motivated. Leon has also helped me rethink my approach to weight management, allowing me me to maintain muscle whilst losing fat. After 6 weeks I was so much stronger, and steadily losing the excess weight I'd gained. Now after 10 weeks I am noticeably regaining tone and definition all over my body. My increased energy levels, confidence and enthusiasm for exercise are amazing.
Fantastic experience: I decided to start training with Leon almost a year ago when I wanted to try a new approach to my health, lifestyle and weight loss goals. Before working with Leon I had been attending cardio classes, but felt that I needed to add some resistance and weight training to my routine. I got in touch with Leon and discussed my concerns as a female about using the weights section and that my knowledge of this area was not up to scratch. I found Leon's friendly and enthusiastic approach incredibly comforting and he put me at ease instantly. He tailor-made a programme to suit me and never made me feel stupid, too unfit or foolish. I have learned a lot while working with Leon about my own body and how to improve it using his training and my own knowledge. He was supportive and worked around my anxieties all while boosting my confidence and passing on his expertise. If you're looking for a trainer who is passionate about his clients, willing to work around you and help you achieve your goals in a fun and relaxed environment I fully recommend Leon Baker.
Your confidence has grown and grown since we began! Bring on the upcoming training. Well done Mel.
Fantastic experience: Leon is a great trainer! What ever your goals are, whether to lose weight or tone your body, Leon is your guy. He's super friendly and made me feel comfortable from day 1. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone ☺
Thank you for great review Mo! Your getting stronger every session!! Great work!
Fantastic experience: Leon is a fantastic personal trainer and i am so happy with the results. When i first started with Leon i struggled with any type of exercise and my diet only consisted of fast food which made me feel sluggish all the time. I have just finished 10 weeks (20 sessions) with Leon and have lost just under 2 stone! I am so pleased that i have now started another 10 weeks with him. Leon will push you further then you ever thought you could go but does it gradually and at your own pace. He is very personal and tailors each session to you overall goals! The sessions are also fun so you actually look forward to going! He makes you look at food completely different and you really can feel the difference in yourself!! I now eat healthy, exercise regulary and enjoy it!! its become a lifestyle. I was really nervous when i first started with Leon, not really knowing what to expect and not thinking id be able to do it - If this is you then all i have to say is DO IT!!! You wont regret it!!
Thank you for your review, all your hard work has paid off. Looking forward to more results.
Fantastic experience: Had nearly 28 sessions with Leon over the last 3 months and have seen great results. My general overall fitness has improved significantly, i have lost almost 2 stone in weight and have been able to start playing football again. Leon is constantly available via messenger for advice and has helped me to continue to train even through two niggling muscle pulls, busy work periods and a new baby. I couldn't advise anyone enough to give Leon the chance to help turn their fitness around. I will almost certainly be carrying on for further sessions.
Thank you for your kind words!!
Fantastic experience: Leon is a great personal trainer I have ever had. He is the right person if you want to achieve great result of your workout.He not just train you at the gym but he will keep updating your progress.He will also give you an advice about healthy food. The quote 'NO PAIN NO GAIN' is totally applied when you do training with Leon.He will push you to the limit and make you feel impress with yourself. I really recommend Leon as your personal trainer.
Dream of a client! Well done!
Fantastic experience: Love training with Leon Baker Fitness! Professional, Dedicated and Personable trainer. Leon quickly understood my goals and what I was setting out to achieve, since then he's gone beyond what I was first expecting. My goal was to increase strength and muscle size for sport specific. At first I thought I'd try a couple of sessions with Leon and it was the best decision I have made.. Leon instantly cleaned up my diet and my power and strength in games have improved significantly over the weeks we have been training! We work extensively on muscle building and explosive training to help me get that winning edge and every session I still feel like I am gaining. I am reaping the rewards now and my diet is so much better and I thank him for all his hard work. Anyone looking for Muscle Building, Power Training, Explosive Workouts, Leon is the man to talk to. Seriously challenging sessions and I guarantee you'll get to where you want to be!
Fantastic experience: Leon is the first personal trainer that I have had and deciding to train with him is certainly an experience that I do not regret! I have always seen myself as being 'fit' and have played football for a number of years. However after occupying a desk job for the last 10 years and having 2 small children, I could feel that my fitness was deteriorating as I was not able to find the time to exercise. As most people would agree, your local gym can be a daunting place sometimes with lots of people posing in the mirror, making lots of loud noises! However I decided to take the plunge and join my local gym and it is from here that I decided to book some personal training sessions with Leon. He immediately made me feel at ease in my new surroundings. Leon is extremely dedicated, very professional and knowledgeable. He is a constant source of motivation and always keeps in touch to see how I am getting on and always follows up with advice. Apart from personal training at the gym, Leon has also been instrumental in changing my diet. He is always on hand to provide tips and expert advice on what to eat and the benefits of a healthy and balanced diet. During our sessions, he will always push me and is always on hand to make sure I get that extra rep! The workouts are always fresh and will keep you interested. I used to hate the thought of going to the gym, but now I cannot wait for my next session! Leon is one of the best trainers around and I would not hesitate in recommending him.
