When I started training at Pulse, I had a lot of problems with my back and knees, and generally felt weak and unfit. I had always been uncomfortable working out in gyms with all the other people there watching. I was always embarrassed at how low I had to set the weight machines, etc. At the studio I'm only trying to compete with myself, and my trainer was always there with a word of encouragement or praise.
After just a couple of sessions I found that I enjoyed going to the studio and actually looked forward to it. I could see improvements from week to week and enjoyed the challenge of a new exercise, lifting more weight, or doing more reps.
I now value the feeling of accomplishment I get from a good workout. I feel stronger and generally better. My only worry is that I've been spoiled now, as I may never find another trainer or studio like I found at Pulse Personal Training. Read more about the Posture Perfect programme.
The CHEK sty
le of training has helped me to gain my life back! After almost two decades of back pain, related injuries and surgery, in just 7 months of training my pain is almost gone.
With a professional, systematic and holistic approach - not to mention patience – I have always felt confident. An endless source information as well as new and motivating exercises, has always made my training sessions challenging and never boring!
I have enjoyed sports all my life, but I have learned so much more since starting out with this programme. I can see true results and am well on my way to achieving my “no pain” goal. I can finally get back to enjoying all the fun out there! I fully recommend the CHEK approach for injury rehabilitation, developing core strength and getting that extra edge out of training.

As a complete novice to the “gym experience” Hamish has taken the time to explain the reason behind each exercise and has set a varied and challenging programme.
The benefits for me have been a considerable gain in my health status, plus being able to fit clothes long forgotten! All this, plus I have actually enjoying the experience. I am certain that if I had not had the benefit of Hamish’s knowledge and motivation I would not have continued with the gym.
