The Bearded Fitness Guy

Fantastic experience: I trained with Rimon for the month of March. Rimon is one of the best trainers I've had. He is highly detail-oriented and motivated me to go the extra mile and it felt like he was personally invested in my health more than previous trainers I've had. He is really kind and professional - if you're looking for personal training in Islington, Rimon is the best choice!

Fantastic experience: Excellent personal trainer conveniently located in Islington in a private studio. Rimon helped me through back issues with deep massage and PT. Really one of a kind and when I’m back in London will definitely start visiting them again.

Fantastic experience: Rimon is a great coach! I was able to see fast results on my strength and body after only 1 month!

Fantastic experience: Honestly I love the amazing service there! I suggest everyone come here!!

Fantastic experience: The best personal trainer in London - this passion is something you will never find anywhere else. He has it all.

Fantastic experience: I loved doing personal training with Rimon, he’s such a fun guy and great at his job and our sessions were the highlight of my week.

Fantastic experience: As a fifty-something guy and someone who hadn't been near a gym for decades I was slightly nervous signing up to a personal training session. However, from day one I've look forward to every session with Rimon. He provides the perfect balance between encouragement and pushing you that little bit further. I've now been seeing Rimon for two years and I haven't felt so energetic and fit for years. I can't recommend him enough. The gym is fantastic: small enough to feel personal but big enough to house some amazing kit. If you want to build on your existing fitness level or, like me, make a serious, long-lasting lifestyle change then the Bearded Fitness Guy is the place to start. Thanks Rimon for everything!

Fantastic experience: Rimon is the guy for personal training in Islington! I initially went to address long term chronic back pain having tried virtually every other type of treatment, and I'm still going a year on having been pain free in my first few weeks. I can’t speak highly enough of the set-up, process and most importantly for me approach Rimon takes - a genuinely great guy who will listen to and understand your situation and get the best out of you. I never leave reviews but I couldn’t have had a better experience with Rimon and feel so grateful to have met him (and his lovely family). Go here!

Fantastic experience: Great PT - I'm very happy with the results and the increased muscle and strength I've gained, I also feel more confident now! I wanted to tone up and increase muscle mass and my bone health- all achieved since working with Rimon! Rimon was super easy to work with and his explanations were very clear. Highly recommend using Rimon's personal training services if you want real results!

Fantastic experience: Rimon has been excellent as a personal trainer. We have been working together for a year now, I have noticed improved strength and flexibility, the facilities are great and he is incredibly friendly and helpful, couldn't recommend more!

Fantastic experience: Rimon is a great personal trainer located in Islington, he has a lot of knowledge and tips and is always able to push me past my limits. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a PT in Islington/ Highbury.

Fantastic experience: Very nice local gym! If you don't like crowded gyms this one is for you. I highly recommend working with Rimon

Fantastic experience: First of many sessions, the best at what he does.

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for an excellent PT in Islington, look no further. Rimon is professional, welcoming and motivating. He will push you to your limits and help you meet your goals. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Rimon is a wonderful PT - I can't say enough good things about him. I am so pleased with my personal training with him and with the results that I am achieving.

Fantastic experience: Rimon was easygoing from the start, Welcoming and intimidating into the studio, great vibe in the studio where everyone smiles at each other. I noticed changes in my body after a few sessions and in the few months of going i feel much stronger and really enjoying every session

Fantastic experience: Rimon is knowledgable, helpful and always encouraging to assist you with the motivation and in-gym techniques and tips required to achieve your fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: Can’t say enough good things about Rimon. He's been absolutely fantastic in helping me achieve my fitness goals. Rimon's dedication, expertise, and motivational skills have been instrumental in my progress. Not only has he helped me improve my overall fitness, but he also introduced me to the exciting world of boxing through his sessions. I've seen remarkable results in a relatively short time, and it's all thanks to Rimon's guidance. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a supportive and effective personal trainer. He truly goes above and beyond to help you become the best version of yourself

Fantastic experience: I have trained with Rimon for over a year and he has helped me gain so much confidence in the gym. Rimon gives great advice for improving your form and pushes you hard, but also keeps the sessions fun and enjoyable and I always look forward to them! Would definitely recommend Rimon to anyone looking for a PT.

Fantastic experience: I had such a positive experience training with Rimon while I was in London for a few months. In a short time I worked with him to increase my strength and improve my training and weight lifting technique. He was not only very knowledgeable and effective at putting together our workouts, but was a delight to work with — always kind, patient and knew when to give that extra bit of encouragement!

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Rimon (a.k.a. "The BFG") for more than six months and I couldn't be happier with the results. Rimon has been instrumental in helping me shed my pandemic weight gain and build rock-solid muscles. Exercise has always been important to me but it can be hard to fit into my busy schedule. Rimon has helped me to adapt my training regime to suit my lifestyle and goals. Rimon is professional, friendly, knowledgeable and supportive but he's also tough and will always push you to your limit. The gym itself is fresh, clean and well-equipped.

Fantastic experience: Ramon is a phenomenal PT! His personalized workouts are both challenging and rewarding, perfectly tailored to meet individual goals. His expertise and motivation have made a remarkable difference in my fitness journey. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: The Bearded Fitness Guy is the best PT I’ve ever had. Rimon knows exactly what he’s doing, and made me feel at ease right from the start. I started seeing results within a couple of months of training with him. Rimon is also kind and goes the extra mile to motivate you to get the best results from your workouts. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Rimon is an amazing PT and I'm seeing results I didn’t think were possible. I've had such a great experience training with him over the last six months. He's helped me build muscle, gain strength and lose fat sustainably - I'm well on the way to achieving my goals. Rimon is professional, knowledgeable, motivating and super welcoming. He always manages to get the best out of me and I feel so much better about my fitness and health. The new private studio is spacious (allowing you to focus on training) with excellent equipment and a great inclusive vibe.

Fantastic experience: Great PT, helps to identify your needs and tailors the regime to you. Great to get along with and always keeps you motivated.

Fantastic experience: Thanks a lot for helping me, Rimon. You and your lady running a wonderful studio. I love your fitness programme. Can’t wait to visit you guys when I’m back in town.

Fantastic experience: I've been having 1-1 Muay Thai boxing sessions with Rimon for about 6 weeks now and I'm loving it! As someone who has struggled with conventional cardio exercises for as long as I can remember and loathes running with a passion, it's great to have found a high intensity sport that I actually enjoy. I'm always at ease around Rimon, who is an incredibly patient instructor. This is crucial for me as I crack easily under pressure and wanted someone who would help me overcome this. Rimon encourages me to push my limits and achieve new heights with each session whilst ensuring I feel safe and looked after. Bonus point is that he actually laughs at my dry and dumb jokes (banter is key). Looking forward to having him turn me into a lean, mean, boxing machine!

Fantastic experience: I don’t often leave reviews but I had to for Rimon. He is an absolute godsend in the fitness space. My first session with him was amazing and I was able to lift weights at an intensity I never had by myself. I have always had tight hamstrings and within the first session Rimon spotted that and recommended stretches to help. And, while I still can’t touch my toes, I am a lot more flexible. There’s a lot of information about fitness out there and it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Rimon has clarified so many important fitness topics that I didn’t fully understand. He has explained how to track calories, why macros are so important to track, the importance of progressive overload and much much more. I would 100% recommend Rimon to anyone who asks!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Rimon for over a year and absolutely love our sessions as they are both challenging and motivating. Since we started training together, he has taught me so much about technical strength training and has also pushed my conditioning to a whole new level. Highly recommend Rimon – seriously one of the best PTs in London!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Rimon for almost a year and have had a great experience. Rimon is approachable, considerate and incredible knowledgeable in nutrition, training and stretching/recovery, making him the perfect personal trainer. My sessions are tailored to the areas I want to work on, and I am always pushed to work hard - within these sessions Rimon has also provided a space to share insecurities about shape and ability. I have never felt judged, pushed too far, or misunderstood. Working with Rimon has meant that I know I have time to focus on myself with a personal trainer that will put me at the heart of a session that will be fun. Having a private gym has also meant that the sessions are relatively private and on sunny days we have had sessions outside in the courtyard - this is great in light of covid. I cannot stress enough that sessions with Rimon always leave me feeling refreshed, not only because of the exercise but because working out with Rimon is always great fun… apart from the one time he made me do 100 burpees for being 10 mins late. I’m still recovering from that! During my time to date with Rimon, I have not only lost over a stone, but pushed my body to leg press over 195kg, lift over 50kg, and developed confidence operating equipment in the gym. My body has changed in ways I didn’t expect and I have done this all without focusing on the number on the scale. I’m so grateful, thanks for being awesome, Rimon!

Fantastic experience: Rimon is a top PT. I needed someone very knowledgeable to help me get back into lifting weights without triggering any old injuries. He is a stickler for good form, and very motivating. Always squeezing one last rep out when you don't think you have it in you. His gym space is perfect - good equipment, full of light and energy. I'm really excited about the journey I'm now on. And I'm excited by my progress. Thoroughly recommend Rimon.

Fantastic experience: I've been working with Rimon for a month and have already seen absolutely amazing results! He has a great person-centred approach to our fitness routine, building our routine around my busy schedule. He is consistently pushing me to achieve my goals and always creates a positive atmosphere in the gym, would highly recommend him for anyone looking for a PT!

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Rimon for about six months. Initially, I went with the intention of shedding a few pounds before my wedding, but I've been married six weeks now and I'm still going. I feel stronger, more energetic, and look forward to my sessions (if not the early alarm!). Rimon is a great PT; not the kind that's going to scream in your face, but gives the right encouragement to finish the set. And whenever I have niggles or pains, he knows the right stretch or adjustment to my technique. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I had a partial spinal fusion in my late 20s (6 years ago). The recovery left me fearful of doing any strenuous exercise. I would suffer regular stiffness in my back and hips, back pain particularly in my lower back, and was beginning to experience pain in my shoulders and neck. A physio recommended the best thing for me to do was work with a trainer to build up my overall back and body strength. I've now only been training with Rimon for two months but in that time so much has changed. He's helped me overcome the fear of hurting myself and injuring my back, and is challenging me to push myself with exercises I really didn't think I'd be capable of doing 2-3 months ago. The idea that I would be lifting deadweights 6 months ago was honestly never a possibility! The back pain and neck/shoulder pain is also gone. It was really important to me that I trained with someone who had an understanding of injury and recovery particularly in backs. Rimon's knowledge really makes me feel like I'm doing the exercises that are particularly right for me. He explains them so I understand which muscle groups should be working at which time. I already feel so much stronger generally. Sometimes I feel a bit ruined after our sessions but I look forward to the muscle burn now for a sign that something's working!

Fantastic experience: I cannot emphasise how strongly I recommend Rimon to anyone looking to improve their performance and/or wellbeing, at any level. In the 10 weeks so far that I've trained with Rimon, I have learned so much about my body, fitness and nutrition, and have dropped over 15kg in the process. This has been achieved sustainably and without any access to gyms, and demonstrates the high level of knowledge that Rimon has, to really tailor programmes for the clients and situations he takes on. On a personal level, Rimon is thoughtful, patient and friendly, and a lot of fun to train with. I was initially skeptical of approaching a PT, but have never looked back with Rimon who has exceeded my expectations. I wouldn't have achieved the results I wanted without him and would encourage anyone thinking of it to just go for it.

Fantastic experience: Amazing trainer with a passion as strong as his beard.

Fantastic experience: One of the most friendliest and knowledgeable people I have ever come across keen to help and had a solution for every problem, makes training fun and keeps it interesting... I was sceptical at first of having a personal trainer but so glad I finally did the body transformation results I’ve seen in just 8 weeks has been amazing I’m more confident and lifting weights I never dreamed of before bring on the rest

Fantastic experience: I went to the place on Tuesday for a serious back pain enable to walk... Rimon help me alot and after the session I was able to fit my shoes.... Many thanks and see you soon

Fantastic experience: Fantastic trainer. Highly recommend. Did some amazing pad work with him, really loved it. Also an amazing Olympic weightlifting coach.

Fantastic experience: One of the best trainers out there. Gives you 110% of his time and attention to help you reach your goals and is extremely motivating!

Fantastic experience: I was overweight, depressed, lazy and felt hopeless, I then found the bearded fitness guy on instagram, at first I was very nervous about reaching out to him, but he made me feel very comfortable right away, now I’m in the shape of my life and I’m full of confidence, THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Fantastic experience: Class guy, very knowledgeable and professional. Been doing private kickboxing sessions with him for about 6 months now. 5*****

Fantastic experience: Rimon is one of the most knowledgeable PTs I have ever met in my life. And this comes from someone who has met thousands. He is really patient, kind and gives clear and useful tips for everything: training in general, weightlifting, accessories, weight-loss, resistance training. He is also a great muay thai teacher and a super fun person to work out with. His instructions are clear and honest. He is well-trained, very educated and has a super nice personality. He focuses on the technique and form to make sure you get the most out of your workout. He listens to you, what you want and helps you achieve your goals!!! Totally would recommend him as a trainer

Fantastic experience: Rimon has helped be blast through plateaus in my training and has really opened my mind to how training really should be. I highly recommend everyone training with Rimon as he is a real specialist in his field.

Fantastic experience: Rimon is an excellent coach and a lot of fun to box with. It is a great work out, I learn a lot and it is great fun!

Fantastic experience: Advice from a professional could support you towards getting healthier and fitter! Rimon is a friendly, dedicated and motivating personal trainer. Whichever stage you are at with your fitness journey he will help you improve using an customised approach. Plus if you get lucky he may treat you to his delicious own baking, as part of a balance lifestyle which he promotes.

Fantastic experience: Had an amazing workout with Rimon! He is a great PT and is helping me to get in shape, my abs are still on fire! His passion is contagious! Thanks Rimon for so much fun and hard work!! :)

Fantastic experience: Rimon - aka the BFG - is enthusiastic, a great motivator and really knows his stuff. He’s also got the patience of a saint when putting me, a life-long exercise avoider, through my paces. That said, he’s no pushover and is firm when he needs to be! I’ve watched some PTs robotically count reps while barely looking at their clients, but Rimon is engaged and if you’re not executing a movement correctly, he’ll make sure you get it right. After just a few months’ training, I’m doing things I didn’t think my body was capable of and no longer dread putting on my gym gear. Miracle! Thank you Rimon... and to my friend Sarah, who recommended him so highly.

Fantastic experience: I had Rimon for a 90 minute full body massage. He was very polite, easy to talk to and have a fantastic relaxing deep tissue massage. Also recommended some stretching and advice for sleeping to help avoid a stiff neck. Excellent service thank you.

Fantastic experience: I've been doing online video classes Monday-Friday during lockdown with Rimon and Trang for the last month now and I love it! The classes give me so much more energy for my workday than the extra sleep would have. I'm noticeably trimming down since I started (despite not really altering my diet) and exercises that felt difficult in week one are feeling easier every week. Rimon and Trang are very encouraging and accommodate to all levels whilst keeping it challenging enough to see results!

Fantastic experience: Rimon is a great PT! He is extremely knowledgeable in understanding the goals you are aiming to achieve. Rimon always gives his full dedication and attention during PT sessions and is always motivating me to give 110% in every session pushing past boundaries and achieving great results. I would highly recommend Rimon to all family and friends.

Fantastic experience: Rimon has very good knowledge about fitness. He tailors each session to your ability allowing you to achieve your goals. He has helped me develop my weaknesses and this has made me a healthier, stronger and leaner individual.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Rimon since 2018. I started overweight, extremely unhealthy, insecure and unhappy and now I’m none of those. Rimon is very knowledgeable and innovative and pushes you to get past comfort zones. He is patient and funny which takes your mind off doubts and insecurities. I have learnt to understand workout and nutrition with his help, and working hard became easy. He helped me change my relationship with food, body image and discover my strength and capability. I would unequivocally recommend Rimon to everybody.

Fantastic experience: Rimon is a great trainer. I have done a few classes with him through the gym and a Muay lessons too. He is really observant and will correct your technique to help you get the best from the activity. As a bonus he is really patient and breaks things down really clearly. Be prepared to work hard!

Fantastic experience: Great trainer and great guy! Always a good training and so much fun as well. He knows exactly what to do and will adapt to your goals and help you reach them. Huge recommendation!

Fantastic experience: Rimon is a fantastic PT he pushes you work hard to get the results you want. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: All I want to say is thank you so much Rimon. You’re an awesome trainer. Although it’s only been a few weeks since you started training me, I can definitely see changes. You’ve really made me understand the benefits of each and every exercise that we do, which makes me try even harder at it. I love that you come up wth such creative sessions which is always something to look forward to. I can’t wait to further train with you and achieve that body I’ve always wanted.

Fantastic experience: Top man!!! Patient, Profesional, skilled, knowledgeable, and delivers one to one sessions and classes inclusive of all fitness levels. Non judgemental approach which boosted my confidence in going to the gym and attending classes with The Bearded Fitness Guy. Get your own experience of him, you won't be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Rimon is not only a hard work and dedicated personal trainer, he's one of the most down to earth people you can ever meet. Please take my advice and go to him for any personal training and fitness guidance as there is none better than the Bearded Fitness Guy, you'll see results of your hard work and enjoy working hard all at the same time with him!

Fantastic experience: Rimon doesn’t mess. If you’re his client he’s got you! Supportive and realistic, he helps you build a foundation of strength to meet whatever your fitness goal is. Super thankful to him, and loved training with him!

Fantastic experience: Rimon is quite possibly one of the best coaches/trainers/teachers I've had in my life, and I've had quite a few, considering I've grown up doing a variety of sports. Not only does he come up with a well-structured, detailed, customised plan for you to reach your goals, he's also very dedicated and attentive to your needs and queries - so if I ever have questions about a certain exercise or about the fitness plan, I can definitely count on him to clear my doubts. More than anything, Rimon is INCREDIBLY motivating, pushing me to my limits (and beyond) every single training. It is largely due to his help that I've been able to build up to my 100kg 1RM on the deadlift, just within 4 weeks of training after a month-long hiatus from lifting. 100kg may not sound like much to some, but I had been trying to reach it for over a year, since I started lifting, to no avail, my highest ever weight lifted being 95kg. I am just so happy that I decided to seek his help on my lifting journey, as I think I would have just been going round in circles without his careful guidance. And to think that I used to think that I didn't need a personal trainer! XD To Rimon: thank you for pushing me, believing in me, helping me and just being with me on my journey of improvement!!! To all: (though I am slightly hesitant to say this as I don't want to have to share him HAHAH) I highly recommend Rimon as a personal trainer/friend/coach/motivator etc.! Boxing, calisthenics, weights - whatever you need, Rimon can provide. Trust in him and in the process, and your goals will be within reach :)

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Rimon. From my experience, he is a dedicated, focused and an encouraging personal trainer. The thing I like the most about him is that he makes sure I hold myself accountable which means I can't slack off. I'm pleased with my progress thus far and I'm glad my friend recommended him to me!!

Fantastic experience: The best thing about training with Rimon is that he’s a trainer who takes his work seriously. He completely adjusts the training plan around your goals and he is constantly changing my training plan if I need to work on certain areas; ie mobility, strength, fat loss etc. Rimon pushes me hard and even gives me homework on my ‘active rest days’. Even when I’m training by myself now, Rimon has taught me the knowledge needed to get them gainzzzz!! Training with Rimon genuinely gives me some of the best hours of my day. He’s such a fun trainer and we’re constantly laughing in between sets. A session is never the same and I can’t imagine being with another trainer. I love him. The end.

Fantastic experience: Best personal trainer ever!!! I have achieved my goal in 3 months training with Rimon, he has pushed me through intense workouts and added in boxing as cardio which is much more enjoyable than running on a treadmill. He has also changed my diet to a one that best fits me as I was not seeing results, now I’m seeing result much faster. Always could have a laugh with him which is a bonus as the workouts aren’t boring.

Fantastic experience: I had been ‘training’ on my own for years, I was a former national league basketball player and thought I was in reasonable shape. My goodness, how deluded was I? My first training session with Rimon almost ended with me requiring CPR! The session involved a very basic HIIT and strength assessment, I will never forget the look of concern on Rimon’s face as I grabbed his hand whilst struggling to catch my breath at the end of the assessment. Fast forward 4 weeks, I have improved my deadlift by 25kg and my squat by 20kg. My endurance has substantially improved and I have lost inches all over my body. My energy levels are through the roof and I feel amazing. These results are due to Rimon. He doesn’t shout and scream at you like some personal trainers, nevertheless he makes you work, hard. He varies the sessions so you are never bored. He encourages you to push through self-imposed barriers. He educates you on technique. He takes an holistic approach to your fitness. Rimon is the perfect trainer and I’m so lucky to be trained by him.

Fantastic experience: Rimon is a very unique coach. I was a hard-gainer and learning the ropes with him was unforgettable. He has a certain professionalism where he will push you but you wont hate him at the end hahah. I've known him since we were teenagers and the good spirit and work ethic has been the same since. You are in safe STRONG hands. HIGHLY recommended

Fantastic experience: Rimon is amazing! Training with him brings out the beast in you! His knowledge is vast, his methods are effective and training with him is the most fun! He mixes it up with boxing and strength training. I had previous injuries and many complications so my confidence was low, he worked around this and made me feel able and reassured. You’ll come out feeling stronger and much more confident. Just amazing!

Fantastic experience: Rimon is a fantastic coach and a pleasure to work out with. He has helped me to improve my performance in the gym and is a brilliant motivator. He has introduced me to many different training styles and techniques, providing me with the right methods to hit my goals. On top of this he has helped me to overcome many injuries, which I am thankful for.

Fantastic experience: Rimon is an incredible, knowledgeable, and friendly personal trainer. Although I have not formally trained with him, I am a member of the gym he works at. Rimon is always willing to help me and give me advice even when he isn't working. He has really helped me step up my squat game, as well as, give me advice and techniques to eventually master an unassisted pull-up. I highly recommend anyone looking to get stronger to train with Rimon. He is not intimidating like other personal trainers can be, but rather, makes you feel very comfortable with his friendly and funny demeanor.
