Fantastic experience: Hi was referred to Chris via total well-being . 6 years ago my childrens mum was killed in a car crash and my life was turned upside down. I gave up my job to care full time for my disabled daughter as well as my 3 other children. During this time my weight started to increase to 30st and my mental health declined. This year I finally sought some help . I could barely walk due to pain in my knees , my blood pressure was sky high and I’d stopped going out . The doctor gave me tramadol just to keep me going. I was given a therapist as well as 4 free weeks with Chris at his gym . I was extremely nervous and self conscious about going to see him because of my size, but Chris is a wonderful person who helped me feel at ease. During this 4 weeks I’ve lost over a stone., but more importantly to me my mental health has increased so much and I’m beginning to feel like the old me again . I’m more focused on what I do and eat .I work out at home and I’ve even started swimming. I’ve never been a gym person I’m 49 and haven't set foot in a gym since my teens but if anybody can relate to what I’ve written then I implore you to give Chris a chance.he is an absolute credit to the total well being group, his profession and he has been a live saver for me. My journey still has a long way to go but with Chris I’m certain I’ll get there

Chris gives each client specific goals depending on their individual needs, whether that’s weight loss, body building or competition goals in addition to tailored nutritional advice.

The culture in the gym is one of support for each other to achieve strength and physique.

Fantastic experience: Training at S2S with Chris Burford has been a pivotal point in my years of training and weight lifting. From regularly training at a commercial gym with no real focus or goal, I started training at S2S, to find within a year of training there I was stronger, fitter and well on my way to having the physique I have always dreamed of. Chris has offered guidance, structure and encouragement to be the best I can be whilst supporting my journey. So if you want to train and get result, I would recommend coming along and seeing for your self. Just be prepared to push your self to your limits and see the benefits for your self. 5 star workout with personal training if required, highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Chris a true professional! I have been training at Burford Sports Gym for a couple of years now and becoming a member of the gym has been a decision that I am glad I made. The gym is one side but I learn so much more not only fitness but food nutrition also.

Fantastic experience: I started my journey with Chris in 2017, we trained regularly. 2019 Chris took us on his journey of the total change project. Well I lost weight and increased my strength.

Fantastic experience: I wholeheartedly recommend Chris. I trained with Chris for approximately 6-7 years. He provided personal training and nutrition support. He introduced me to powerlifting, and I loved it. Within 2 years I competed and won my age and weight class, and in doing so qualified for deadlift at the British Open. Never in my dreams would this have been on my radar if it wasn’t or Chris. Chris is a magician as a trainer. He knows exactly how to get the most out of you, whilst ensuring you don’t get injured, and educates you into what he is doing. He creates a great atmosphere and camaraderie in training sessions. I moved house, otherwise I would be training with him to this day. It’s important to also cover negatives: That’s it, there are none. He is so knowledgable, my only advice is to trust him, trust the process - and commit to it, and you will get results.

This is one of the reasons I will always be a repeat customer. On multiple occasions has my body been brought back to life and injuries removed!

Put aside your own ideas for a boring training which never gives much results,commit minimum 3 months of your time with him you will get the training from a professional who has many many skills up his sleeves 45 mintes with him 3 to 5 times a week is a serious commitment for a serious change.
