I started my fitness journey 7 months with a personal trainer, and now I have a reason to wake up and hit the gym, that's what Andrew is to me, a source of motivation, and a person that I look up to. The progress I made with him is quite remarkable. I highly advise people in need of motivation and guidance to acquire his services.

L. S.

Andrew does a great job at keeping you motivated throughout the training sessions. With sessions planned to target your personal goals they were always rewarding and it’s easy to see and feel the progress made. Going into the gym for a workout was never a chore and was always a welcome part of my day.

Andrew's approach is very professional and supportive and though I have found the workouts challenging at times, I have never left a session feeling overwhelmed or demotivated. It has been great to learn more about the importance of understanding and adapting macronutrient intake for fat loss, as well as keeping workouts simple but effective, especially for sustainable results. Excited to smash some more fitness goals in the new year - thanks again, Andrew! :)

I have trained with Andy for a couple of years in the past (over 4 years ago) but just started up again a few months ago as I needed some help reaching some new strength goals. Quite simply Andy is an excellent personal trainer. He is very knowledgable and passionate about fitness. He really spends time getting to know what works for you and pushes you (in a nice way 😊), always keeping in mind form so to avoid injury. His app is a great way to keep the programmes he sets and also it updates him on your progress, so at the start of a live session there is no time wasted telling him what you have done over the last week, you can just get straight into that warm up set 😊. This time round, I didn't even consider looking for another trainer, I was just hoping that Andy had time free in his diary. Whether you are a fitness beginner or someone with a lot of experience, you can be confident Andy will help you get where you want to be and also make it an enjoyable journey.

As a student, AM fitness is great value for money. Andrew has worked through a number of programs, built my strength and confidence in going to the gym. I would definitely recommend.

J. B.

I've been working with Andrew for a few years now. My original goal was to be fit enough to enjoy my first ski holiday (at 43 yrs) and he knocked it out of the ball park. In 5 weeks (2 sessions a week) he got me into a fit enough state that I could have 4 days of 4 hour private ski lessons and get up the next day and go again. No achy sore muscles for me (and yes he did beast me). I've not really had a goal since then but this has not stopped Andrew from working with me and getting results. This has taken a load of pressure off trying to "find a reason" to get fitter and stonger. I see my sessions with Andrew as an investment in myself to future proof my physical (and mental health) as one would with personal development or career training. The reason I stick with Andrew as opposed to joining a gym and doing sessions by myself is: I AM LAZY! I've been a member of numerous gyms and had Personal Trainers on and off for years. After working with Andrew for those initial 5 weeks I realised I had managed to find myself a Personal Trainer I wanted to continue to work with. If it were not for Andrew making the sessions varied and dare I say "fun" I would not set foot in a gym. I've been a member of various gyms and get bored very easily. I also cannot remember the names of the excercises and I cannot keep count of the reps. That whole process of following a "generic programme" ticking off the little boxes for 21 or 30 days just does not do it for me. There is also the SAFETY aspect. I've seen some crazy moves in gyms with the member of staff NOT making a move to intervene and explain how to safely use the equipment. With Andrew at my side I can either query why an exercise is uncomfortable in my knee, calf, lower back etc. or he will automatically correct me (i.e. your weight is too far forward on your toes or stick your bum out then start to bend your knees) before I get a chance to say anything. As I don't have a goal Andrew also has a rare skill where he can read between the lines. I can mention not being happy about the shape of a particular body part or not being able to run for my life without needing oxygen and before I know it, I am commenting on how great a peice of clothing looked on me that I couldn't previously wear or that I ran without collapsing in a heap. Andrew is also great advising about nutrition. I do still struggle with this as I've had years of mis-information being "fed" 😉 to me, but Andrew is very patient about it all. Andrew is also not afraid to refer you on. If you get to the point where you have more specific training needs he will know someone who specialises in the area and let you know about them. Again in my experience this is a very rare quality in a personal trainer.

Andrew adapts the sessions with care to my fluctuating physical state (I have Parkinsons), always challenging me safely to do the very best I can and then some more. My sessions with him are an essential and foundational part of my current wellness.

L. M.

Andrew is a fantastic trainer who knows his craft inside out. He trains a range of different people from your day to day clients staying fit, to professional rugby players to professionals dancers (me). I look forward to keep training with Andrew and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking to start or continue their fitness journey from beginners all the way to professional athletes. The man can do it all! He will hear out all your goals and make it his priority to guide you through step by step programs and regimes to attain said goals.

M. M.

Andrew is a fantastic trainer! I was a total gym-novice when I started training, but he's really helped me to challenge myself, setting manageable goals during our sessions as well as home workouts that have pushed me to grow in confidence at the gym. I genuinely never believed I would enjoy exercising, but the focus Andrew encourages has been invaluable. He's super professional, but at the same time really easy to get along with - I can't recommend him highly enough!

A. G.

Andrew is an absolutely phenomenal PT. He knows his stuff inside and out, is able to keep me motivated, and is genuinely interested in seeing me succeed. He's also incredibly thoughtful and kind: a few weeks ago when I unexpectedly had to self-isolate, Andrew would check in with me to see how I was doing and send me home workouts to keep me sane. I also continue to be impressed by how much effort Andrew puts into planning our sessions: they always feel structured, thought-out, and specifically tailored to my needs and objectives. I have nothing to give him but my highest praises.

A. R.

Andrew is very knowledgeable and professional in his approach to training his workouts are always challenging but varied so your always getting a balanced workout without being predictable

R. V.

I have been training with Andrew for the last 8 weeks and he has helped me to build a consistent and physically challenging programme that has improved my techniques, fitness, appearance and nutrition! Andrew is very attentive during and outwith sessions, he will set personally designed and efficient home workouts and provides weekly feedback on eating habits! I would 100% recommend Andrew as he makes working out something you look forward to!

R. B.

I started training with Andrew 4 months ago to focus on building strength and fitness to improve my road cycling. Having chatted with a few trainers, Andrew was the only one who took the time to properly sit down and understand what my goals were, how often I would be able to train and, an aspect I hadn't properly focused on before, understanding my nutrition. Each session is tough, but always fun. The variety and combination of exercises keeps my interest far more than I've ever found whilst training in the gym. Andrew is very motivating, understanding and encouraging in pushing you in your workouts. In the space of 4 months I've noticed massive improvements to my overall fitness and strength in the gym, and more importantly for me, I also feel much stronger on the bike. As an added bonus, training with Andrew has given me more confidence lifting weights, and I've gained a greater interest in fitness and nutrition than I had expected. Andrew's also helped tweak my nutrition to help get the best out of my sessions and my time on the bike. Andrew regularly reviews and guides me through my programme to keep it interesting and challenging. I now train with Andrew once a week and he is always providing support in the gym as well as finding out how I'm getting on training on my own outside the one-on-one sessions. I was looking for a trainer who is able to understand my goals as an individual, and provide me with the support to achieve them. Andrew's done just that. He's constantly looking at my form and technique and helping me focus on improving, but also takes the time to explain why a particularly exercise is beneficial and how it'll translate to strength on the bike. I would highly recommend training with Andrew to anyone, regardless of your fitness goal!

S. C.

I could not recommend Andrew as a personal trainer more. He has helped me to not only lose weight (my initial goal) but also helped me get into a proper routine of working out and massively helped my confidence in the gym. Although I only had one session a week I felt supported by Andrew all the time, knowing that whenever I had a question about anything - from how to do a particular exercise to my diet - then he'd be more than happy to help and I would get a reply within minutes. The sessions are a lot of fun and Andrew is very knowledgable and really takes into account your own personal goals in order to draw up a personalised workout and nutrition plan. Whatever your goal Andrew definitely is the full package and I would recommend him to anyone!

K. J.

Andrew is an excellent fitness trainer with a genuine interest in his clients and their fitness gaols. He is professional, very knowledgeable and has a sincere, friendly personality. He has been my personal trainer for nine months and continues to make my sessions varied ,interesting and definitely intense! I feel a great sense of accomplishment at the end of a session. I know I would not push myself or achieve nearly as much without Andrews input. Since training with Andrew I actually look forward to my workouts. That is a first!!! As a result of Andrews fitness programme I am fitter, stronger and more toned than I have ever been. I highly recommend Andrew as a personal trainer.

D. Y.

I've been training with Andrew for half a year now and I could not be happier with my choice of a PT. He has an amazing talent to push you just hard enough that after a training session you feel great about yourself and motivated for the next one. I can definitely see the progress both in terms of weight control (lost around 10 Kg of body fat during that period) and muscular gain. I would highly recommend Andrew to anyone who is serious about getting in shape!

S. I.

Honestly what a guy, hard to find a pt who understands you as a person and understands what your goal is. This guy does it for the love, passion and for the satisfaction of helping people. Keep it up Andrew.

L. R.

Andrew has been my trainer for roughly 8 weeks now and I have seen massive improvements in all aspects of my fitness, wether it be improving strength or helping me get my diet back on track. He is a top bloke, with good chat along with putting together a bloody good program. I could not recommend him enough as a trainer

M. B.

Initially Andrew had been highly recommended to me via a colleague at work and it is simple to see why. It is clear from the offset that Andrew possesses a profound knowledge and a genuine love for his profession as a Personal Trainer. Having primarily joined his 8 week body transformation programme earlier this year I can honestly say my expectations were met and surpassed. Andrew delivers an excellent variety of challenging training techniques accompanied by a cleverly thought out nutrition plan in order for my goals to be met. Furthermore, Andrew goes that extra mile with regular communication giving credit where it is due, setting fitness challenges out with training, whilst sharing and explaining his extensive knowledge of human physiology, nutrition, and anatomy in a way that is easily understood. Andrew has given me the tools, support, and motivation required to accomplish my fitness goals but above all he has opened the doors to a lifestyle of health and fitness that I will continue to pursue. I would strongly suggest if you are contemplating a personal trainer Andrew will not disappoint. Can't recommend enough!

P. C.

I have only trained with Andrew for a few weeks, but already I have started to see results from his progressive training. I had stagnated a little, was getting a bit disillusioned, and although at 57 I am already in the best shape of my life, I am confident that there is still huge potential waiting to be fulfilled with Andrew's carefully planned training. He ensures proper technique throughout and gives clear simple explanations which help me understand what I am doing and why. As each session is completed I continue to surprise myself with what I am achieving. The sessions are always hard work, but are also always fun. Andrew is friendly, personable and very reassuring and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

M. D.

Andrew has been my PT for about 2 years now and I have nothing but positives to say. He is professional and hardworking, always pushing me in the right ways.

X. H.

Andrew is an excellent personal trainer, who never fails to ensure that you are comfortable with the intensity and pace for the training scheduled. An accommodating trainer, he ensures that you get the most out of your training sessions, and even suggests various bodyweight exercises that you can do to keep in shape if you're out of town. Other than focusing on the exercises, Andrew also helps to keep track of your diet to ensure that you fully optimise your nutritional intake with lifestyle and gym workouts. Above all, Andrew's genuine care of your personal development is what made my time spent in the gym truly enjoyable. Highly recommend AM fitness!

J. M.

I first came to Andrew with the aim of getting fitter, stronger, healthier and (I cannot lie) a wee bit bigger. I had done very little by way of exercise, and felt that having the guidance of a PT would be the best way to get into it. I have been training with Andrew for just under six months now and at every step of the way he has demonstrated a perfect understanding of my goals, strengths, weaknesses and abilities. I am very pleased with the results so far - I have a long way to go still, but without Andrew's well thought-out and personalised programmes, insight and advice (and last but not least great company at the gym) I would never have made anywhere near as much progress in that time.

C. d.

Have trained with Andrew on and off for the past few years and have nothing but great things to say about him! He helped me in my fat loss challenge where i dropped over 4 stone of fat! Andrew takes pride in what he does and will do everything in his power to help you reach your goals. His pure professionalism and the extent of his knowledge make him the best Personal Trainer around. He makes training fun, and mixes things up to keep the body guessing. Would recommend Andrew and A.M Fitness to anyone!

B. A.

I would recommend Andrew as he is an excellent and knowledgable personal trainer. I first got in contact as I wanted to learn the basics of Olympic Weightlifting. He helped me become competent in the techniques and made the workouts enjoyable yet challenging. The online programming and app Andrew offers are really useful when progressing and completing work out on your own. He also provides technical feedback via video to help you improve in between one on one sessions.

J. F.

I have only been working out with Andrew for two weeks but can already feel a difference in my fitness - I am looking forward to also seeing the results! His sessions are always different and provide a full body workout. We have spent a lot of time focusing on technique, which other trainers I have worked with have never been that fussed about. I am naturally lazy, but this last fortnight I have been feeling energised and much more willing to do exercise!

So I came into contact with Andrew after a stagnant phase in my running/weightlifting program. Given the circumstances in the covid lockdown I had very limited equipment and so training had become very repetitive. I had been training consistently for 4 years and have never seen results so immediately other than when I'd initially began training. instructions were clear and simple to follow. Throughout the 12 week block there were challenges to work through, such as past injuries and weaknesses which were all addressed quickly and efficiently. Bearing in mind my own statistics such as age, training age etc; my initial goals were to increase running speed and muscle mass, hard in itself, but we saw great success. My 5km came down to 24min (a on for me, my previous best being 28min), we bumped my calories an extra 700-900kcal and my estimated bodyfat percentage came down between 4% and 6%, whilst my strength increased almost weekly. Throughout the whole process learning the importance of proper programming, nutrition and rest. Andrew isn't magic but an integral part of my success and my future in lifestyle and health. Cheers Andrew, 10/10 would hire again.

H. J.

A highly recommended personal training service. Surprisingly, the hard training was made fun and enjoyable through a variety of exercises that pushed my limits of endurance and fitness on a weekly basis. In a short period of time, I started to feel the benefits of my training with Andrew McIntyre. My overall fitness and strength were visible and felt. I now view training with a personal trainer as an essential and holistic approach to well being.

t. s.

After years of haphazard gym sessions that always seem to go nowhere, i decided to enlist Andrew's help while trying to take my mind off completing a masters dissertation. My initial target was to gain 4kg of muscle mass in 3 months but that was quickly achieved within 6 weeks. Andrew's meticulous and very effective training, as well as his gentle and encouraging demeanour, makes every session that much more bearable and worthwhile because there is an almost instant guarantee of results. Andrew guides you session to session with precise focus on each part of your body, alternating from volume training to strength training to maximise results, relaying you effective instructions if needed should you decide to come in for extra work because why not? You can't help but be motivated. Quite extraordinarily, you can feel and see improvements within the week itself. After 5 months I've bulked up from 70kg to 80kg thanks to his dedicated bespoke sessions as well as extremely helpful nutrition tips. His holistic, patient approach has changed the way I perceive gymming from weightlifting to conditioning to corework(though i'm still not its biggest fan), and I always enjoy and look forward to future sessions with Andrew. I would highly recommend Andrew and fingers crossed, he might just be able to squeeze some time out of his busy schedule for you.

D. H.

I have been training with Andrew for two and a half years now and in that time there is yet to be a complaint I am able to level against him. He has been able to change the structure of my programs to suit my shifting needs over the years and I have been thoroughly impressed with his knowledge on all this fitness related. I would recommend Andrew to anyone looking for a personal trainer in the area.

H. M.

Highly Recommended, I work with Andrew online and through his app. In the initial stages he took me around the gym to familiarise myself with correct technique etc, before setting up a programme for me which gets updated every week. Andrew is very approachable on both the app and within the gym, very happy to be working with him.

H. D.

Such a fantastic personal trainer! Despite my constant moaning and near tears, Andrew refused to let me give up and helped me improve my fitness to a level I would never have achieved on my own. He provided great home work outs and helped me improve my diet to ensure the best outcome. Would definitely recommend:)

P. I.

I recently returned to the gym after an absence of 20+ yrs, quite daunting. I have really appreciated Andrews insight (and patience), as a lot has changed since my last visit ! I have enjoyed the variety of activities, while still focusing on my goal which as well as general fitness, is to improve my cycling performance. I have been very pleased with the results.

J. F.

I’ve been training with Andrew for 6 months now and he’s been really great and helped me achieve my goals. He regularly offers advice outside of the pt session if there’s anything bothering me and is great company to train with. First rate PT.

K. L.

Andrew's dedication, and not to mention tremendous knowledge, has been invaluable in helping me achieve my goals. Through a well-structured programme and great communication, a professional, yet fun experience, is created.

N. D.

I have had PTs for years and can honestly say Andrew is the very best. Not only is he knowledgeable on al the technical aspects (muscle, skeletal, posture etc), he knows exactly how to pull together a session that feels like a true workout. Not some random exercises bolted together. And he watches you like a hawk; no snoozing in is watch! And that’s great right? The odd tweak totally transforms the exercise.. and the result! Yes he pushes you to your limit, yet still inspires you to consistently achieve more. And he does it in a way that shows you that exercise is as much about a mindset as it is about capability. That puts the power with YOU not just your trainer. He has helped take me from being a non runner to someone who haa just completed a half marathon with ease and grace. His online schedule and personal sessions honestly made it easy. It’s incredible and I feel truly blessed to have found him. I am just about to move 25miles away and I am looking at every way I can continue to work with Andrew; he’s worth the extra miles and time. (it will be a 2-hour round trip) He’s100% top value. Ps no I didn’t get paid for this review. :0) I just know there’s a lot of people saying they do what he does. They don’t.

W. H.

Andrew is the best trainer. He helped me lose weight in the past several monthes as well as make my body shape better!! He monited my daily food and weekly workout which really push me to be a better me!

G. R.

Super Happy with Andrew. His sessions push you, also they are different and fun. I tried before different personal trainers and wouldn't change him for anybody else. Highly recommended.

A. S.

Great personal trainer, has really helped me push myself and find a love for going to the gym. Helped move me out of my comfort zone of cardio equipment to free weights and conditioning!

N. Z.

It was great training experiences with Andrew！Highly recommended！

A.

Great for helping me achieve my goals in sport and training!

H. R.

I started working with Andrew at the start of my first year at university with the goal of staying healthy and building strength. His online app is great for keeping track of workouts and has really helped me keep on top of workouts. Andrew is always available to answer any questions and is always accommodating to my schedule which is great. Would definitely recommend !
