Nick
Nick's rapid 19kg / 3 stone weight loss in just 12 weeks
"I'll be honest I'm not usually one for too much personal stuff on social media but thought I would share my 3 month progress!
The left of the photo is one week before I decided to get arse into gear and started attempting to shift the weight I'd gained over the last 6/7 years from bad foods, beer and a sedentary lifestyle. It was definitely a shock seeing the scale read 18.5 stone and a feeling that will motivate me for the rest of my life I think. The right of the image is from today, 12 weeks in, slightly sweaty mid-workout but 3 stone lighter.
With the help of Sam Watt and his solid nutrition plan (not a diet!) and training regime I've completely changed the way I live my life. Staying disciplined with my nutrition by eating good whole foods at the right times of the day while training hard when I'm in the gym. Never thought I'd wake up every morning excited to exercise!
This isn't a finished 'before and after' by a long way as there is plenty more to come! Roll on the next 3 months 💪."

Damon
It was always an ambition for Damon to attain a bodybuilding stage physique. I helped him achieve his goal
"Having been trained by Sam over the last two years I can say that the progress I've made I never thought possible. You would be hard pressed to find a more enthusiastic knowledgeable and professional PT. He draws on his own abilities and achievements to gain the best for his clients."

Lee's 10 week transformation
"I came to see Sam as I heard he was fantastic personal trainer that got great results with clients. I needed to transform my body within 10 weeks, Sam clearly didn't let me down!
As an ex-professional footballer, I have always had issues with my knees and ankles. therefore Sam included strengthening and rehabilitation exercises into the program that has helped me tremendously.
His knowledge of the body and what exercises are needed to achieve your goals appear endless. If you're serious about getting into the shape you desire then Sam is the man to do it!"

Nina's exciting PT journey and transformation!
"You literally will not find a better PT! My journey with Sam started 5 months ago when I wanted to do a 5 week blitz before a trip to LA. I didn't just want a PT, I wanted the best, then I came across Sam. I can't explain how much Sam has transformed not only my body but my life. It's not just about the training but the nutrition and lifestyle, Sam creates a bespoke plan made for you based on your goals, but he doesn't crucify you if you do have a night out or an event. Every session with Sam is different he mixes it up based on where you are, how you are feeling and he pushes you to the limit every time plus I had no idea about what I was eating until Sam explained it all. After my LA trip I continued to train with Sam and it has become just part of my life now. After 5 months training with Sam I recently had a trip to Ibiza with my friends and I can honestly say it is the best I have EVER felt in my life, I have never been so confident or had so many compliments on holiday. Plus, my boyfriend proposed, so we must be doing something right! :) I'm just about to get back into it now after the holiday knowing it is going to be tough but i'll love every minute, we have a wedding to prepare for! If you are considering a PT and want results then Sam will change your life, he certainly has mine and I can't imagine life without my PT! :)."

Claire Beasley
Account Executive
Claire's 3 weeks transformation!
"Claire came to see me with aim of losing weight especially around her mid-section, tone up generally and to see results fast. She was doing a couple of 5km runs a week but no resistance training. I explained that if she followed my weight training, high intensity cardio & nutrition plans - designed for her and worked very hard she would expect to see fantastic results in less than a month. After our first session, which was a leg/butt workout - she was hardly able to walk for 3 days but came back for more....sorry Claire!
After seeing these results in just 3 weeks, she's even more motivated to stick to the exercise and nutrition programs and to keep on improving further."

'After moving house I needed to find a new personal trainer who:
1. I would get on with 2. Who could help me reach my goal, which is to lose weight and gain muscle.
I did my homework and watched him and other pt's in the gym and also read his Facebook page and made the decision from what I'd seen that he was the best one for me.
In the 5 weeks I've been training with Sam I've lost 7lb in weight and 2" off my waist and hips.
Sam pushes me much more than I'd push myself (which is what I need) but I am also seeing results quickly. He has gone through my nutrition with me and helps me when I am struggling and for the first time in my life I feel that I will reach my goal.
My "after" pic is still to come but I'm sure it won't be long as I now know that with consistency comes RESULTS'

'Choosing Sam as personal trainer was a great decision for me. Before he trained me, my fitness levels were non-existent and my diet was unbalanced.
Sam has corrected these and made me understand the physiological importance of doing the right type of training combined with the good diet. This has resulted in me dropping a dress size within a month of starting training with him; I haven't looked back since!
If you are looking for a professional with a 'no-nonsense' approach and integrity Sam is your man.'

'I'm just returning to training from a bad injury. Sam has adapted a training plan to help me get stronger and faster , and has already pushed me to lift more weight than I have before in the first two sessions. It just shows with the right guidance you can still train if injured as it will help promote recovery ! Can't wait to get really fit !'

Sam Watt (Me!)
Personal Trainer, Pro Natural Bodybuilder
When I decided to leave my career in Information Technology behind and pursue my dream of becoming a personal trainer, I thought what better way to learn about the body than to transform my own. I decided at the beginning of 2013 that I would enter a natural body-building competition some time in 2014, in that time I've won 4 UK national overall titles, won the 2016 INBF International championship and attained my prestigious WNBF pro bodybuilding card. All within 3 years of deciding to compete!
It's been an enjoyable, educational and disciplined journey as my knowledge has increased several fold with regards to how the body/muscles work, nutrition to build mass and lose weight. Also, how far would I be prepared to push myself to the limit to achieve my goals as I'd be expecting from my own clients.
The two photos are separated by only 21 weeks - moving from off-season to my first competition of 2016. So as you can see I have managed to transform myself, I definitely practice what I preach!
