Fantastic experience: I'm very happy to recommend Richard. I started off doing Boot Camps in a small group of 3 people. More recently I have a 1:1 personal training session with Richard once a week. I've always had good endurance/stamina, but it's only in the last couple of years (I'm now 50) that I've 'discovered' strength 'stuff'. Richard and I agreed a set of specific exercises - a mixture of bodyweight and using weights, a training plan and some goals. With his help I've been able to see some really significant improvements. Richard is a friendly and enthusiastic trainer - if you're thinking of trying to improve your fitness, then get in touch with him !

Fantastic experience: If you want to get healthy and see results, Hams Fitness is the place to go. Richard is very knowledgeable about personal fitness and you can tell he isn't just another fad personal trainer - he is extremely passionate about fitness and wants you to get the most out of his sessions. While he does work you hard, he is also very understanding. Highly recommended to people just trying to get healthy, those who want to get into a regular fitness program and even those who have been there and done that. If you haven't used Hams Fitness, you haven't been personally trained.

Fantastic experience: Great trainer - highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love training with Richard, he is extremely knowledgeable about his subject.. I have been a gym goer on and off for years, but my biggest gains came under Richards guidance. He made me realise the utter importance of diet and protein intake, so, along with simply turning up doing as instructed , the gains came quickly..( I should stress the doing as instructed bit...its all about strict form!) . I'm stronger and leaner and if that's your goal too, go see Richard... simples.

Fantastic experience: This is exactly what a Personal Trainer should be, Richard is a beast of a man who really knows his stuff. Previously I’ve used the PTs at my local gym, they always seemed unexperienced and didn’t really appear to care too much. Richard is different, his knowledge is extensive and he really did make a personal routine suited just for me. Setup in a lovely private studio I felt less self-conscious and was able focus on his expert instruction. He pushes hard and I'm doing more than I ever thought I would be able to do. I'm not finished yet (are we ever?) but since starting I’ve lost weight and I’m seeing big improvements in my strength and stamina. Give him a try, you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Plenty of parking, nice facilities, within Epsom College grounds

Fantastic experience: My partner has been seeing Rich for many years, and recently, after some health issues, it was time for me to get fit. So I finally bit the bullet and booked in with Rich (Ham's Fitness). I told him what my issues were, and I explained my concerns and objectives. What I got in return was brilliant. Rich knows the human body like we see the back of our hand. He understands the mechanical and muscle structure and, more importantly, how it all works. I am now in my 13/14th week of seeing him twice a week, and what a difference. Rich finds workouts that work for me; he provides enough encouragement to get the best of me and tells me what we will achieve with the excise. Having seen a few personal trainers over the years, Rich is by far the best I have experienced. He cares; he understands and gets as much enjoyment out of progress as I do. On top of all this, he is a damn decent chap to boot. Would I recommend him? 100% he is fantastic at what he does, and the Privitar gym where I see him is modern, clean and peaceful. My best advice for anyone looking for a reason to go to the gym is to get in touch with Ham's fitness and give Rich a try. You will not be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Richard's training is fantastic. Personal attention, focus on your own goals and a carefully tailored, progressive programme. I've been training for nearly two years, have lost 12kg, have become fitter, leaner and stronger. Richard's style is friendly, engaging and encouraging and his approach has helped to improve all aspects of my lifestyle, not only physical exercise, for the better.

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a trainer who will kick you butt! Who can get results and keep you on your toes - look no further. Ham knows the human body & how to train people properly to get the best results. Sign up and find out.

Fantastic experience: For anyone reading this debating whether to go for it or not - GO FOR IT!!! I hesitated for months, watching the weight creep up and up, before I made the call to Richard at Hams Fitness - I wish I'd have done it sooner. When I first started training I had zero confidence levels in myself and the way I looked, I was so self conscious of working out in a gym around other people, one of the reasons I had left it so long. The environment at Epsom is friendly with everyone focused on their own sessions - none of this posing in mirrors you get at other gyms! I've been training with Rich for just over a year and am edging closer to the milestone of losing six stone; I feel so much more confident in myself, I feel better, I look better and my body shape has changed as well as the pounds coming off. I enjoy my sessions with Richard, I never dread going to the gym, it never feels like a chore. The sessions are varied and enjoyable, every session planned in advance and logged to compare numbers to in the next workout. I notice my fitness levels and strength increasing from session to session, beating previous records in times, reps or weight. Rich pushes you to be better each session, giving encouragement when your mind is telling you to stop and your muscles are burning! I've learnt a lot about the reasons we do a particular session or exercise, the muscles we're targeting and the effect it will have. We also talk about diet and nutrition, calorie intake and the importance of protein, compare meals planned for the week and where to adjust if necessary (I've also learnt a lot about 80's classic movies - another area of his expertise!!) I will never go back to the weight I was when I started training over 12 months ago. My lifestyle has changed, I am better educated in the decisions I need to make with food and exercise - I couldn't have got this far without Richard's sessions, his knowledge and expertise and, probably most importantly, his support and encouragement every step of the way and for that I am truly grateful.
