SF Personal Trainer London

Fantastic experience: Samuel is Excellent! He has been very effective at helping me advance my fitness goals, adapting my workouts / nutrition on a regular basis. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at SF Personal Training Studio for over 6 months now and cannot recommend them enough! I do strength training with Samuel — he is extremely knowledgeable, professional and strikes the perfect balance between pushing you to meet your fitness goals while making sure you are not over exerting your body. I went from being someone who would think of my workout as a chore to now looking forward to them, all thanks to him! I also more recently started doing Pilates classes with Scarlett. I am loving learning and getting fitter with the rehab reformer machine, and Scarlett has been absolutely great! I can already feel the difference and am excited to continue on this journey!!

Fantastic experience: As a complete novice to Reformer Pilates, I did three one to one sessions with Scarlett in her private studio. She is extremely professional and patient, which is exactly what you need. She demonstrated each move and gently encouraged me to follow suit. She is not the cheapest reformer pilates instructor but there are numerous stories of people getting injured, so you definitely get what you pay for. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I have trained with Samuel for just over two years now and I cannot recommend him enough! He is super knowledgeable about health and fitness and I am now stronger than I have ever been before. Aside from being a great trainer, he is also a lovely person and we have lots of fun in our sessions. I plan on continuing to train with him for many years to come!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Sam for a year now. I have discovered my love for exercising with him, I now understand how important it is, both physically and mentally. Sam is not your typical PT, he has a holistic approach and takes time to understand you as a person. In terms of results, I am 25 KGs less, feel healthier and stronger than ever. I am looking forward to every session even if I don't feel like it some days, because he gets me and I can tell he cares about me and my progress. Sam finding you was one of my 2023 highlights. Thank you for everything.

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience training with Samuel at SF Personal Trainer London. He was always punctual, dedicated and he put together a training regime that fit my special circumstances. I was very happy with the results and highly recommend this gym and Samuel in particular

Negative experience: I was in my final year at uni, booked for 10 sessions and went for only 2-3 sessions? This trainer took about £600 from me and did not respond to my calls and such.. this was a really bad experience in my graduation season. Not professional at all. I felt very frustrated since I've never been to a gym outside of my uni, but this was clearly not nice. If you're an international, or a student, or a young women, or someone new, there is a chance that this person might steal money from you

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Matt and he has exceeded my expectations. He is extremely responsive and knowledgeable to really help you transform your lifestyle to however you deem fit. Highly recommended - tremendous amount of value for the service he provides.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Samuel for 15 months now having never lifted a weight in my life. Samuel has been encouraging, thoughtful and a complete joy to have as a PT - I am someone who loves learning and has natural curiosity, so ask lots of questions whilst training - his depth of knowledge on strength training, nutrition and all subjects around that are truly amazing. His empathetic approach and diligent mindset has made a huge difference in my journey and I have benefited with a huge transformation. What’s more, it’s only with someone like Samuel that even after 15months, you remain as determined, engaged and energised as day 1 to continue the journey. Thank you Samuel - worth every penny!

Fantastic experience: I've had several personal trainers in my life and I could confidently say that Sam is by far the best I've ever had. His approach and knowledge in training helped me lose over 10 kgs within 3 months and get back to my desired weight. The sessions were tailored to my need based on the physical assessment he performed at the beginning. He also shares several apps that helped me manage my nutrition plan as well as do tailored training at home (outside the sessions with him). If you have the will and the discipline required to train, Sam will easily get you where you want to be! I cannot thank you enough for helping me out Sam!

Fantastic experience: It's been great training with Samuel. He's managed to transform my perception of working out being heavily focused on cardio and introduced me to the free weights area. Not only do I enjoy training more than ever, I push myself to the limit and of course am loving seeing the results! Samuel motivates me to do better, he also inspires me to reach new goals. I am now confident training at any gym by myself. Gym and location are great too.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Samuel PT for a year. Before that I had been going to gym classes and attempting to go the gym without really knowing what I was doing and was not seeing any change in my body. I now go to SF Personal twice a week and am more confident going to the gym by myself. I have gained muscle and lost fat all over my body and feel much stronger. I really enjoy my sessions and have seen progress over the last year. If you are looking for a PT in SE London, I couldn't recommend SF any more!!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Matt McEll for a few months now, and my experience has been great. I have never done weight lifting in my life before and was not looking to become a bodybuilder. My goal has been to improve my level of fitness, get stronger and get rid of permanent strong neck and back pains because of a seated job. I am doing two sessions a week (a 1-on-1 and group one) and started seeing the result even after the first session. Matt understands the body composition incredibly well and develops a special schedule to deal with the existing issues (e.g. I have been suffering from neck pains for many years, and after completing the first assessment Matt told me that the problem was actually coming from lower back and that we had to deal with this first, which was a game changer for me) and then build up on this, combining weights and elements of reformer training. Assessments and nutrition advice are also included, which helps track progress. Weekly group sessions with Sam have also been very efficient, combining weights and stretching. I would definitely recommend joining if you would like to turn your life around.

Fantastic experience: Samuel is the best PT I've ever had and has helped me to re-find my enjoyment for exercise. He's not only a great trainer but also a fantastic person. I'd recommend him to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Samuel is an amazing personal trainer -- he is really passionate about health and well-being and is an utmost professional. He approaches every session with dedication, wants the best for his clients, and constantly strives to upgrade his skills and knowledge by attending additional courses. Your training sessions with Samuel will be both effective and enjoyable!

Fantastic experience: SF Personal Training is simply the best I’ve ever experienced. Having trained for many years, Samuel has focused on my technique to achieve great new levels and ensures that I maximise the results of every exercise. I’m also lifting weight levels that I would never have believed and have gained so much more strength. Samuel is the best trainer and the gym is wonderful with all the very best and latest equipment. I could not recommend SF more. Alex Fergus

Fantastic experience: What a great experience, I highly recommend to go train, is gonna change your energy, mind and body.

Fantastic experience: Sam is an excellent personal trainer. Really easy to work with and gives great advice and custom-built training programmes. The gym has excellent facilities in a prime location. High recommend.

Fantastic experience: Really happy with all the progress so far, Samuel has really pushed me, even though I am stubborn and will look for excuses haha. But proof is in the pudding, as they say I feel and look 10x’s better and it’s only been a few months! Thank you Sam!

Fantastic experience: I am extremely satisfied with the training and results so far. Given my little experience in gyms I am impressed by how strong I am getting. I am also 10kg down. Remarkable considering that I am only training from home with adjustable dumbbells. Workouts are challenging yet fun. His nutrition advice has also helped me improve my appetite, sleep and mental focus. I have never felt so energized and active. I highly recommend online training for those who have no access to gyms l

Fantastic experience: Superb experience training with Samuel. My neck and back pain are gone in just a few weeks of training. He truly cares about you feeling your best, not matter what your day throws at you. Professional and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend training with him. I you are suffering any sort of chronic pain. I am now confident to do some exercises on my own safely and properly. Thank you Samuel!!!

Fantastic experience: My fitness journey with Samuel started totally by coincidence, I was searching on Google to find a personal trainer in the Bermondsey area and Samuel’s very professional website popped up. I was hesitant to contact a personal trainer whom I found on the internet rather than a referral, but I contacted him nevertheless and am very happy that I did so. Even on our first consultation call it was clear that Samuel is not only expert on full body training but also healthy eating / living and how they complement each other. After our initial call we set up a consultation session and I made up my mind that Samuel was the personal trainer I was looking for. It has been more than 6 months now since I have started working with him. One of the best things I like is that he helps me to get my mind right, as much as getting me stronger and fitter. I like the variety of the exercises he offers for full body work out. Every time I train with him, he adds a new exercise in our routine and makes me enjoy the training. He is extremely knowledgeable: he has passion and patience to explain why we are training in the way we are, and which part of my body needs to get stronger and how we will get there. No matter how long it takes for me to get the right posture, the right way to do the exercise, Samuel takes time to explain and help me practice. He pushes me to be better without being exhausted or injuring myself. Each week he gradually increases the intensity and weights we use, and I can’t believe how I came to easily liftt those heavy dumbbells. He knows how to motivate and pushes me to new limits. His workouts are challenging, his studio is a great space to practise and inspire. Every time I leave his studio, I feel empowered with a great energy. I am so pleased I found his website and contacted him and gave this chance to myself. He is the most professional, kind, passionate and amazing coach I could ever work with.

Fantastic experience: Best trainer I’ve ever had! Started training with Sam last year before lockdown and continued virtually since. Lost sign significant weight, got fitter and even started jogging again. He really helps with the nutrition and mental side of being healthier. As some gym PT just give you a workout, Sam does this and so much more

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Samuel enough. He really knows his stuff. Not only does Samuel have an excellent knowledge of the actual training and mechanics behind the movements (helpful in preventing injury), he has trained for competitions so he knows exactly what is involved to get the fitness model physique, such as nutrition and recovery. A lot of other PT’s will only focus on the training and ignore those two other vital aspects. Lastly, I really enjoy my training sessions with Samuel, he is a great motivator and really pushes you to that extra level. Attached is a picture of my gym progress after two months of training. I’m excited to see how good a physique I can build as I continue my training with Samuel.

Fantastic experience: Sammy has been a delightful and professional personal trainer. I have had quite a few personal trainers up to date and Sammy is definitely the best one out of them all! I particularly have issues with my lower back which Sammy carefully tailored our sessions to always keep that in mind and really focussed on posture when working out. Within a week I had less back pain to none when working out with him and following the guided self workouts too. Apart from being a great PT, he was a very open and interesting person to talk to. I feel he could strike up a conversation with anyone. I looked forward to our sessions and felt better when I left each session knowing I did something. He pushes you to the max you can handle and it’s not a bad thing, it’s great! Unfortunately I have moved area otherwise I would have loved to continue with Sammy. Highly recommend him. Goodluck Sammy!

Fantastic experience: Samuel is a great personal trainer, he is energetic and enthusiastic and really knows his stuff. He is always clear in explaining how to do things and is focussed on helping you achieve your goals.

Fantastic experience: My experience with samuel has been amazing. He is a great coach and a even better person. I have learnt so much from training with him. He is a very detailed coach and leaves no stone unturned. He has worked hard on improving my flexibility and weight lifting techniques and I have seen many results from this. I am now stronger than ever and doing exercises I wasn’t physically able to before I started training with samuel. Samuel is also a tremendous boxing coach and improved not only my boxing skills but also my conditioning and strength for boxing. I would highly recommend samuel if you are looking to see results.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Samuel for more than two years now. He was the main reason I joined my current gym (following him from a different one). I struggled before with being motivated and constant with my training but Samuel does a great job at keeping the workouts varied and entertaining. He adapted the training to the different injuries I’ve had during the last months (falling while roller blading), up to the point that I am looking forward to train with him (even on Saturday mornings at 8:00 AM!!) I can’t remember a single time he cancelled an appointment without letting me know days in advance. I fully trust him regarding the exercises he recommends even when I am injured, he is very knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: Sam is a great trainer. He works with me to improve the strength of my core and improve my flexibility. I made great progress on both areas. I highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: I have been training for many years and tried different PTs. My body shape has improved massively since I started with Sam and most importantly it went in the direction I wanted. My quality of life has also improved. I recommend Sam, regardless of whether you are starting training now or you have been training for a long time already.

Fantastic experience: After few years living a sedentary life I got to realise that I couldn't keep living that lifestyle anymore. Samuel and his methods, helped me to understand the importance of having a healthy body, but also a healthy mind and soul. His flexibility was key, so I was able to adjust my schedules without any issues.

Fantastic experience: I thought I was too old to start training, but I can honestly say, training with Samuel has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. His weight training programmes have made a real difference to my fitness, health and my wellbeing. His training has transformed me both physically and mentally! He is a true professional, he is knowledgeable, very personable and very patient. Throughout my training, he ensures that my technique is always correct so I get the best results from my sessions. He has helped me to achieve goals that I thought were beyond my capabilities. I thoroughly enjoy training with Samuel and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their fitness. Thank you Samuel.

Fantastic experience: My experience with Samuel is more than amazing. I highly recommend him if you’re looking for someone that will help and support you to make a major, positive change to your health and fitness. Samuel is very professional, supportive and passionate. It’s been six month that we are training together and he helped me to completely change my body, keeping me motivated and pushing me to work harder. Not only the results I got are terrific but the advice and guidance I received throughout his program allowed me to learn a great deal on technique, nutrition and how my own body works. Highly recommended if you want to make a real change in your lifestyle having a professional and very motivated PT!

Fantastic experience: Samuel is an extremely experienced and kind trainer. He is very available and makes exercising very enjoyable.

Fantastic experience: Very patient and pays attention to details. Samuel always gives a full and clear explanation about every aspect of training. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I trained with Sam for nine months. He got me from a rising weight and daily drinking to a much better physical and mental place. We started in August 17 and in Jan 18 I signed up for my 1st marathon (London). I ended up running 3 marathons in April / May 18. Training adapted when needed including major stretching days to get me through. Very highly recommend and good value for money

Fantastic experience: Samuel has helped me focus on training, nutrition, life style and motivation. I have never been fitter, my energy is up and I have a positive state of mind. He understands the demands of busy professionals and effectively balances discipline with positive encouragement.

Fantastic experience: Training with Samuel has been the best investment I've made. His approach is extremely professional and he set me a variety of programmes that kept workouts interesting. His knowledge of fitness and nutrition is second to none. I'll retain what I've learnt with Samuel for life.

Fantastic experience: I never do PT sessions but Samuel definitely knows how to look after his client best way possible. I had the best experience with him and he showed me the right way to exercise showing me the correct techniques. He also gave me great advice with regards to my diet to achieve my goal. I would definitely recommend him as a PT. He is motivated and dedicated to your needs at all times to help you achieve the best results.

Fantastic experience: Incredibly happy with Samuel’s training - he’s incredibly well versed in the body, fitness and nutrition and he trained me for several months after a cancer operation. Samuel literally got me enjoying the gym for the first time in my life. His expert routines and guidance allowed me to surpass my limits. He’s an incredibly kind, calm and patient trainer who understood my condition and yet got me working out routinely and confidently, even alone. He’s a fountain of knowledge and his enjoyment of fitness really comes across. I would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone looking to train and change their bodies, and lives!

Fantastic experience: I started training with Samuel just under a year ago. He made sure he understood what I wanted from the sessions and helped me increase my confidence in going to the gym. I’m stronger and more confident than I was 9 months ago and I’m really happy with my progress. I also have a lot of fun training with him, he is flexible around what we work on and I think what he offers is very good value for money- I would definitely recommend him.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Samuel for almost 1 year now and believe he is one of the most experienced & committed trainers around.

Fantastic experience: For a person like me who has never been in a gym before, It has been a turning point, I have never felt better. I managed to fit a sustainable training regime into my life. Great experience. looking forward to next year.

Fantastic experience: Eight months ago, I moved from the US to London and was looking for a way to stay fit in a new and foreign environment. I signed up for a membership at Thirdspace Tower Bridge and explained that I was looking for a personal trainer that can help me achieve my weight loss goals by finding a workout regime that works for me. I have trained with personal trainers before... but the workout plans were boring and I never continued with them after a month in the gym. And then I started training with Samuel. Let it be known that Samuel isn't just a trainer - he's a personal trainer.. meaning your sessions with him are personally tailored to suit your needs and goals (this is something many personal trainers that I've worked with lose sight of). Yes - my goal was to achieve weightloss, but I wasn't going to achieve that implementing the same program he was recommending to his other clients with different body types and lifestyles. Additionally, the programs he created for me were a lot of FUN! I used to be SOOO intimidated by the weight room (and all the burly men who knew how to work the machines :)) but I have come to learn that weight training is my favorite form of exercise because it's not stagnant (like running on a treadmill). Samuel is also very personable and he listens very well. We have built an excellent rapport and I look forward to my training sessions with him because he makes training fun (and therefore sustainable). His personality and the way he interacts with his clients cultivates a very comfortable environment, which is very important for those new to training, because its' a "safe" workout zone - you don't feel judged and you don't feel inadequate. He's also always open to incorporating different exercises into your program. For example: I saw a pair boxing at the club while we were working out, and that's what prompted him to add 20 minutes of boxing to our sessions - what a great stress reliever! I'm leaving London to move back to the states at the end of this month, but I can honestly say that training with Sam has truly motivated me to keep training. I have also lost 7kg since training with him but the real difference is how my body feels and how my clothes fit. I have achieved a leaner frame and am excited to continue the training with the foundation Samuel has helped me establish! I haven't convinced him to move his business to Chicago, but you can bet I'll be in search of a trainer that's just like him. Top notch - give him a call and you will not be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: Samuel is very professional, knows his stuff, and is willing to tailor training to suit what you want to get out of the sessions. I felt it was very good value, every session was something different and afterwards I always felt great for the rest of the day. I was only in London for 10 days, if i lived there I would still be training with Samuel.

Fantastic experience: Samuel is a complete athlete and professional personal trainer. He's also an homest and likable person which is quite rare these days. I've been training with him for the past 6 months and enjoyed every excercise and challenge he tailored to me. Also got plenty of tips on a helthy lifestyle and the right diet for me. I've been doing a mix of gym programs, body weight, cardio and boxing and they all contributed to great physical and motivational results
