Reviews & testimonials

“I have worked with a number of personal trainers during my 8 years in Los Angeles and none have proved more effective or knowledgeable than Scott – I have lost weight and gained lean muscle mass by working out with Scott and have had no hesitation in recommending him to friends and colleagues”

“Since meeting Scott, it’s the first time I’ve ever enjoyed training in a gym. Time passes quickly and the sessions are varied. He also provides a rounded service, focusing on nutrition as well as exercise so that I achieve my goals quicker. I’m definitely seeing a difference and getting more toned which is exactly what I wanted”

“With the fortune of having Scott at my disposal, I signed up for a 5k swim in Ireland. That’s just over 3 miles, so a greater distance than last year. But most importantly, I wanted to swim faster, swim stronger, and raise plenty of money for the UK’s leading brain injury charity, Headway UK. Scott’s plan worked perfectly in the lead-up to race day. The swim training he’d devised had me peak at a good time – I was swimming the full 5k distance in practice 10 days before the race itself and feeling good. I felt the training was so beneficial that I’ve signed up to do another 5k later this year, and I know sticking to a lot of Scott’s advice will stand me in good stead for that”

“Scott is one of the leading experts in the health and fitness industry. We have successfully worked together on multiple projects and I couldn’t recommend him enough. He is a true master of his craft and a good old fashion gentleman to boot!”

“I first came to see Scott while I was preparing to ride in an amateur horse race, which requires a lot of core, leg and arm strength.

Up until that point, I had been a total couch potato, so was horrified about the prospect of showing myself up in a gym. I needn’t have been. Scott is incredibly understanding and reassuring. Not that he went easy on me – after just three sessions, I was amazed to see and feel a difference!
Now, I see Scott for an hour once a fortnight to work on general toning and fitness. The sessions are fun, varied and full of ideas for work-outs I can practice in my own time too. One year on from my first session, my energy levels are up, my waist size is down and I feel stronger and healthier than ever before”

“Uber helpful. Best fitness expert I’ve spoken to in a long while. He gave me lots of original tips. It is always refreshing to speak to someone with ideas and interest”

“It’s amazing what confidence can do to you and thanks to Scott Laidler’s online personal training I feel so much more confident and happy in myself, still have a lot to go but looking forward to doing another 6 weeks at it Thanks!!”

“I have struggled with my weight for a long time (and continue too). I spent 3 months with Scott and they were the most amazing 3 months of my ‘healthy’ life. I was focused, determined, eating well, exercising well and had never felt better. What I liked about Scott was that I could also message him when I was feeling tempted and he’d co-erce me out of eating something bad. He is also a genuinely ‘nice’ guy and we became friends too. Would strongly recommend!”

“My training session was great. Scott is a patient, unintimidating trainer who listened to my aims and gave clear instructions… my muscles really ached the next day (and for a few days) so I definitely worked hard!”

“One of the best Personal Trainers out there. He helped me achieve my fitness goals, which was to get bigger. He gave me a routine, which changed constantly in order to get fast results and not get bored. This was accompanied by a meal plan, which also changed every 1 or 2 weeks. I am happy with the results, definitely recommended!”

“I really enjoyed my session with Scott and was impressed by how much he incorporated my exercise preferences into the training. Although I already had a fairly good level of fitness, he helped me to iron out mistakes in my technique and identified a rather significant lack of flexibility which was holding me back in achieving my desired results. Most importantly, his calm and gentle approach made training with an expert of his calibre a lot of fun and not scary (like I expected) at all”

“As an already-established fitness addict, I was running out of new challenging exercises for my strength sessions. I wanted to build more muscle mass and strength but without compromising my cardio training since I’m such a keen runner too. Scott gave me a whole new approach to try with much heavier weights and slower movements and a load of pryometrics to throw in. He goes through diet breakdown in great detail too, and other lifestyle factors. It’s great to see a trainer taking a holistic approach!”

“I really enjoyed my session with Scott – He’s calm, collected and listens to what you want out of a personal training experience.

He’s also really encouraging and doesn’t make you feel crap like a lot of personal trainers – Telling me to focus on toning my arms and improving my posture for my wedding day rather than saying I needed to lose a load of weight. But the thing I enjoyed the most was the actual workouts. We had enough rest in between sets that I felt strong and enjoyed my session rather than collapsing in a sweaty heap. Boy, did I feel it the next day!”
