Pete Simon | Running Coach in Plymouth, Devon

Fantastic experience: Pete’s personal training sessions are not only perfectly tailored to the individual, but he makes it his mission to bring as much fun to the session as possible. He has the right blend of knowing how hard to push his clients and where their limits lie in order to get maximum impact out of his training.

Fantastic experience: Pete is an excellent personal trainer. Having never trained before or gone to the gym much I was anxious to start training, but Pete made me feel super comfortable and is genuinely passionate about helping others achieve their goals. The sessions are really well put together and I am constantly progressing with each session which is really rewarding. Can’t recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic running coach. Did a 12 week half marathon training plan with Pete and he improved my predicted time by 11 minutes. Great help throughout the plan and very thorough

Fantastic experience: Pete is a great coach! He takes time to get to know what goals you have and designs a workout tailored to that. He is super positive and will motivate you to push yourself. I feel a lot stronger after a few months of coaching and it's really helped my running. Thanks Pete!

Fantastic experience: Great coach, love the workouts and his attention to detail. Can't recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been at Iron Stride for 5 months now, and it’s the best gym / personal fitness experience I’ve had to date. I set up an initial video consultation with Pete to discuss my goals and needs, arranged an initial session and took it from there. I was anxious initially but Pete soon made me feel comfortable and confident in the space and with the equipment. Pete has your interests at the forefront of what he does, and the gym has everything you need. As a personal trainer, Pete is evidently knowledgeable and experienced, diligent and punctual. His services are varied and tailored to suit, across training and nutrition help meet your specific goals. Would not hesitate to recommend Pete and Iron Stride Athletic.

Fantastic experience: Brilliantly equipped friendly members. Feels very much like your own personal gym

Fantastic experience: Well planned routines, friendly and great team spirit, Pete is very knowledgeable and really believes in what he is achieving for us all at Iron Stride - thank you Pete!

Fantastic experience: It feels so good to be back in the gym again, and it was fantastic to see the transformation the unit has made since changing from Total Rebuild to Iron Stride. It’s got a real fresh look to it, the equipment is set out with enough space to maximise your workout whilst keeping yourself and others safe during the pandemic. As you walk in there is sanitiser and cleaning equipment. Just bring your own towel and water bottle. The booking system itself is really simple, clear and easy to navigate. Booking classes has never been easier. Once booked in, the class of the day is laid out for you with demonstrations and the chance to leave your workout results after each section, which I found brilliant to be able to help push myself to get to the top of that league! The classes themselves are hard but so so rewarding (but you get out what you put in..the harder you work, the harder it is). As a regular to Total Rebuild I know a lot of the members that attend and they’re all welcoming and supportive. It’s why I keep coming back. Hand on heart, it’s looks the best it’s looked in a long time and I’d encourage anyone (beginner or experienced) to try out Iron Side.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with an awesome atmosphere. Pete is always at the end of the phone if you need help, or even better in the gym where possible. Would recommend for any fitness level.

Positive experience: Very good

Fantastic experience: Good gym, good instructors a good gym for classes or personal training, although not a traditional walk in off the street gym with machines etc. Would still highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: I went to Total Rebuild for a long while, I cannot express the change in body shape and fitness.It never got 'easy' it got tougher and you just get stronger. James is a driver, you never slack, you are supported and pushed with a great bunch of people' . I haven't been for a while and can't wait to be back, it changes your body and your mood - GET INVOLVED!! You will not regret it, these classes are no comparison to a gym work out!

Fantastic experience: I joined total rebuild 4 months ago and it was the best thing I did. My fitness levels are the best they have ever been, and cannot believe the changes to my body shape. James is extremely passionate about his job, and always gets the best from his clients. If you enjoy training with a great bunch of people, then this is the place to come. Check it out, you won't be disappointed!!! See you there!!
