Nuria León Oliva

Thank you Chris, the first time I have ever been with a pt who has kept me on track and enjoying fitness. Explains everything in a way that you just click with nothing fancy but it really works.

Zoe Cresswell

I’ve been with Kelly’s coaching (online) for around 3 months now. Firstly to note he got back to my enquiries super quickly, is friendly and help me get set up. Secondly he worked on a plan to suit me and then with support and guidance I can’t believe how far I’ve come since then! Very patient and listens/helps with being less knowledgeable about fitness/nutrition. Hard enough to start with that it’s a challenge without being over complicated. My workouts are tailored to my needs. As a busy mum I have to work it around family and this has given me a new lease of life. I’m very thankful to Kelly’s coaching and excited to see in the long term where I will be!

Having recently started my second ten session PT programme with Chris, I have nothing but high praise for his service. I’ve been on many fitness/weight loss attempts in the past but Chris has really tailored a programme to meet my needs. He has helped me on my journey, making tweaks on the way when unexpected things have popped up and been a constant support. His methods were easily adapted to my lifestyle and have become part of my daily life. Chris doesn’t pile on the pressure but gives lots of encouragement whilst passing on his knowledge. I’m already planning for round 3!

It was my first time this evening trying Kelly’s Coaching “Meto Warrior” Bootcamp and I definately got way more from it than expected. Christopher’s method has totally changed what I though about health and fitness. A short 45 minute intense workout is perfect for my busy lifestyle but I’m still getting maximum results. Can’t wait for the next one! Hooked!

Joanne Colman - Business Women

Meeting and hearing about what Chris does had me thinking about my career, my future and of course how I felt on a day to day basis. I am a tall person, 6ft 3 to be precise, and have always been of a bigger build. But being an artist in the public eye means I always have to look as good as I can, be as healthy as I can and feel as good as I can as much as possible. So I met Chris, and got things underway. Within 3 months I lost 3 stone. This completely turned my life around. My knowledge of food grew, my knowledge of working out and balancing my lifestyle grew, all because Chris was able to sit down, talk to me and explain what I was capable of. He’s been by my side ever since and I have managed to maintain my healthy lifestyle through VERY demanding periods of my life. I can’t recommend Chris enough. If you want to change your life, then look no further.

Jamie Stimpson - Recording Artist

I first met Chris in May 2013, nervous, and in need of some help to get healthier. Chris tailored a nutrtion plan and training plan that worked for me straight away. The great thing was that it was not a “one size fits all” plan, he took the time to find out what I liked, disliked, found easy, found hard, what my goals and targets were and why I had set those goals and targets. He then helped me achieve them one by one. Having only spent 4 months training with Chris I feel better, healthier, I look better and healthier and most importantly I feel happier with myself, I feel motivated to achieve things I hadn’t been able to before. He was able to find my confidence and he helped me to become more disciplined in training, in work, in pretty much everything actually! Thanks Chris. I would highly recommend you!!

Having Chris Kelly work closely with you as a Personal Trainer and Life Coach really does benefit your life on many levels. With his constant support and guidance I am well on my way to becoming a “new BETTER me” or as Chris puts it the way my body should be. The workouts I do with Chris are fun, they push my body and I see the results – you can do the same too! Get in touch with Chris and let him help you change your life. I fully recommend Chris at Kelly’s Coaching and of course wish him and his clients continued success.

Nick Stoppani - TV Presenter and Producer

I have been training with Chris for a while now and really enjoy the sessions. Chris takes the time to get to know you, how your life works and most importantly what you want – whether that is to get fit or lose weight etc. He then tailors the sessions to work for you, there is the right amount of information (but not too much or too technical), encouragement and pushing you to better yourself. I have gone from not doing any exercise to bootcamps and loving the gym and boxing, my diet is definitely better than when I started (admittedly I am not 100% good…yet….but Chris is always on hand to keep me on track) and I am seeing the kind of results I want and I know will be maintainable because he promotes a lifestyle change through hard work and good nutrition (and not the latest fad diet). I would highly recommend Chris to anyone who is thinking they need to start exercising but keep putting it off or think ‘they don’t have enough time’ – he will soon show you otherwise!

Tara Haskins - Information Management

I’ve been working with Chris for over year now, and the results have been better than expected. Chris has a wide range of skills and can adapt to most training demands, however you’ll need to be vocal in those goals and work with Chris to achieve them. I moved away from the typical personal training regimes and into boxing with Chris. This is for me one of the best training sessions I’ve had the pleasure of attending. The skills Chris brings to each session are varied and challenging and I’m always pushing for more. When I finish one of these sessions and Chris has pushed me, I feel great. Chris is flexible and understands the pressure of modern life and modern work. I thoroughly enjoy our sessions together and have and do recommend Chris to friends. The addition of the website and regular Facebook and Twitter feeds is a gentle reminder to keep you on track for your goals. The past 12 months have seen me lose a Stone and to be considerably more toned. I look forward to the next 12 with Chris and Kelly’s Coaching.

Paul Ollier - Sales Executive

I have always believed in personal training and have had a mixed bag of results over the years. Chris is currently my personal trainer and I am sure will continue to be for some considerable time to come. Every trainer adopts different tactics but this is the first time that I have felt a genuine approach from someone who doesn’t recommend new fads and diets. Good healthy nutrition plus hard work in my training sessions is Chris’s approach – it works! I have already dropped a dress size and more importantly feel healthier and fitter than I have in quite some time. Chris is honest, tough and consistent in his method. I have already recommended another client to Chris and would highly recommend him to others.

Since joining Chris’s online coaching I have not only been eating better, but I have started some real exercise and am looking better in 2 short months.

Case Studies

Chris first came to the company I work for to talk to us about Health and Wellbeing and share his knowledge, as part of a 12-week plan.

I attended those sessions as much as I could and I found them extremely interesting, as Chris demonstrated an all-rounded knowledge and passion for the subject, which I found extremely motivating.

Prior to this, I had been following the Weight Watchers plan for a couple of years and although it helped me losing weight and I had adopted better eating habits, I was keen to get back to eating non low-fat food and therefore decided to sign-up for Kelly’s Coaching online plan.

Adjusting to the food plan initially was a little tricky as I struggled to meet my targets (mostly when it came to protein), but I finally got my head round it, and have not looked back, as I have been enjoying the food, been snacking less and continued with my weight loss.

Chris checks in by email or text message every other or so, and is available to provide help or answer questions when required, as well as encouragement when progress has been made.

I also started jogging 3 times a week, as I was determined to jog the 5K Race for Life at the end of June, and combined with a few more physical activities and Chris’s tailored home circuits’ exercises, I am the fittest I have ever been.

Although my goal was mostly to maintain my weight, I have actually managed to lose around 4 kg, and dropped a dress size since starting on Kelly’s Coaching’s plan 3 months ago. I would definitely recommend Kelly’s Coaching to anyone needing that little extra help and motivation to get fit.

Sandrine Bonomo-Fox - Business Women

I decided to treat myself for my 40^th birthday to a Personal Trainer for the year.

Over the course of what was extended to 2 years I discovered a whole new depth to weight training and just what one’s body is capable of. However, I started to be concerned with the poor progress of some of my historically weak body parts and a diet that was composed of so many supplements (most of which were recommended and bought through my PT). I even started to suspect that the benefit of these supplements were more for my PT’s pocket than my own development.

The situation changed when I was transferred to the UK (from South Africa) by my company for a 1 year period. This was when I first met Chris Kelly, from Kelly’s Coaching. Chris comes across very sincerely, whereas the other PT’s were physically more, intense and very focused on the intensity of the training … which was what I was more accustomed too! Nonetheless, I was intrigued by Chris’ approach and felt that this was an opportunity to try something different from the usual PT direction. I took the plunge and signed up with Chris and have since mid 2012 been training and eating per his plans.

The biggest surprise was that Chris did not want to shove copious quantities of expensive supplements down my throat. Now I eat significant quantities of fresh Fruit and vegetables with my meat, with no requirement for any of the usual cupboard full of supplements. Over the course of the last 9 months I have transformed my body, and especially the weak areas which have finally caught up to the rest of my body (which has not been the case for the last 3 years). During the training sessions, Chris observes my style and progress per body part and on a regular basis updates my training programme to address any short-comings and eliminate any plateau’s in my progress.

Thanks to Chris I am in the best shape of my life, and more importantly thanks to the wholesome nutrition I feel better than I have ever felt….Thanks Chris
