Simon specialises in one to one personal training sessions with his clients at Puregym in Northwich

Simon said: “I have a personal training business that specialises in making people their best selves both physically and mentally.
“I work one to one on the gym floor and online providing training and nutritional guidance for clients, while holding them accountable for their life choices and lifestyle.

But what do Simon’s clients think about him and his personal training sessions? Why did they think he should take home our latest Best of 2023 title?
One recommendation said: “He understands what I need and explains everything like no personal trainer I’ve ever had.”
Simon said: “It helps a lot of people become happier and more confident.
“It’s very rewarding to have such an impact on someone’s life.
“I backflip through hoops for my clients and I genuinely care about them.
“I work my bum off every day but I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
He added: “I was truly honoured and very proud to make the shortlist especially as it was my clients who wanted to nominate me.
“I was buzzing when I found out I’d won.
“This means the world to me and I’d like to thank my amazing clients for all their votes and support.”
