I am very happy to have experienced Kristaps as my weightlifting coach. During these 8+ months, my strength has improved a lot. I learned from 0 to the last Snatch 32.5kg, Clean 45kg, jerk 42.5kg. Deadlift 85kg. Kristaps taught me a lot of useful techniques about weightlifting and always encouraged me to push my limits! The best weightlifting trainer in Leicester. If you are looking to improve your overall self by lifting weights, this is a great choice! :)

This is the first review I have ever written and thought I would start with some background. I am 46 years old and have a history of two slipped discs and an associated 10 year legacy of root block injections, epidurals, chronic pain, immobility and lots of painkillers. Immediately before visiting Kristaps late last summer I visited a physio for some help as I was not able to stand up, bend over or lots of associated activities. I was given a print out of stretches and sent on my way. Left frustrated, and no further forward I arranged a session with Kristaps after reading reviews and thought it was worth a try. From a health, mobility and pain point of view, visiting Kristaps is the best decision I have ever made. Kristaps initially carried out some capability and mobility sessions with me before providing a diagnosis that had not been made in the previous 10 years of treatment from multiple health professionals. Following diagnosis, Kristaps designed a specific programme and then carefully and attentively managed my improvement through regular mobility and strengthening sessions. If during a session, something does not look right, Kristaps reacts, carries out specific corrective stretches or exercises and corrects the problem. His ability to identify and correct an issue through in-depth understanding of the way a body should function is excellent. I can now stand up pain free, bend, tie my shoe laces and even carry out things that were not in my orbit before like squat and deadlift! I am thankful to Kristaps for the impact he has had on my life. Overall, my review is that Kristaps is excellent. If any of the above sounds familiar to you, I urge you to make contact with Kristaps, it may change your life.

Kristaps’s knowledge is endless! Not just with Olympic lifting but general mobility, movement patterns, strength, you name it. I’m a PT and Martial arts coach myself so I can spot a good coach. I can say hand on heart he’s the best. I’ve had many injuries and have many imbalances from years of competing and I’ve not had something yet he can’t help fix, work around or give a completely new angle on. Top notch 👌🏻

Working with Kris has been a revelation for me. Problems with mobility and technique that have plagued me for years were resolved in a matter weeks which has led to significant improvements in all of my OLs. His technical knowledge is second to none and it’s always a pleasure to work with him.

I really enjoy training with Kristaps, he is very professional and has a wealth of knowledge about strength training. He looks at your weaknesses and works with your body to help make those weaknesses stronger. I never thought I would be able to lift a bar with weights above my head because I had a weak left shoulder, but now I am to lift with confidence. Kristaps really makes sure the sessions push me but afterwards I am so proud of myself for being able to complete them. I have never walked away feeling that was easy.

I’ve had a fantastic learning experience with Kristaps. I booked a block of four sessions to learn the foundations of Olympic weightlifting and I couldn’t be more pleased with my progress. My own perceptions of my mobility issues were challenged and now I can confidently say I am much more able to achieve the lifts with correct technique. The difference from before and after is really clear. Kristaps was very professional in his approach as he took a thorough list of previous injuries, other sports I play and diet before commencing any physical work. This really tailored the sessions towards me so I got the best out of my time. His approach is highly detailed and this really helped my get the result that I wanted. If your after a coach who has a vast knowledge base and is clearly passionate about teaching then this is the coach for you. I plan to come back and keep improving. Thanks for all the help Kristaps.

The best weightlifting coach in Leicester. If you are looking for a coach who truly cares about the sport of weightlifting and about his athletes Kristaps is the coach for the job. With Kristaps you’ll not only become stronger but smarter. Kristaps will teach you proper technique, explain the benefits of different exercises, teaches the Importance of moving correctly. etc. As someone who had zero experience in weightlifting, within one year (6months in lockdown) I have learned how to perform both the snatch and clean and jerk with sound technique. With Kristaps I have achieved milestones such as clean and jerking more than my body weight and snatching 95% of my body weight. Kristaps has also helped me rehabilitate a wrist and hip injury to full recovery.

I have known Kristaps through the gym environment for many years. He is an outstanding power athlete with a broad wealth of knowledge and a clear passion for helping others achieve their goals. I have witnessed some amazing transformations in strength, physique and overall well-being while under the support of Coach Kristaps. In March 2020 I suddenly developed severe joint pain which left me unable to walk for several months... While rheumatology experts were left scratching their heads and putting me on huge waiting lists, Kristaps was full of ideas, hope and moral support! Your goals become his goals - 10/10 coaching and a great guy!

I've worked with several great personal trainers over the years but Kristaps is by far the best. His knowledge of proper form and technique is underpinned by an ability to teach and a great grounding in the muscular skeletal system. He got me further, faster and with less injuries than anyone I've ever trained with. If it's rehab, strength training for a specific sport, olympic lifting or strong man, I cannot recommend him highly enough. It's also worth noting that he's great in person but he also created a great virtual program for me over lockdown.

Kristaps has been my trainer for a while now, back from the days when he was based at Lifestyle Fitness, and I continued with him when he moved to Cross Fit Leicester which I have found a much better venue due to the equipment, flexibility, and amount of space. There was a break in the training due to covid and the Leicester lockdown, and although Kristaps continued with training over Zoom this wasn’t for me. I was somewhat unsure of how safe and useful restarting one-to-one sessions in the covid times particularly since I don’t feel comfortable working out at my normal gym. But I needn’t have worried as the covid precautions at CrossFit Leicester are comprehensive and strictly adhered to. And of course things are not the same with personal training with the measures and distancing, but that’s something we just have to live with for the time being. I am over 50 years old and suffer from a few injuries; Kristaps has been great at working with those, and customising the workouts to not only stop aggravating injuries, but provide exercises to address and strengthen them. Currently many of my prescribed exercises use body weight or low weights, but the workouts with Kristaps are still always challenging. And of course despite the distancing, Kristaps seems to still be quick to spot all my imbalances, poor posture and poor technique! If anything I feel that in these covid days where the variety of exercises one can do has been limited, it is even more relevant/useful to continue to exercise in a safe environment and keep healthy, and having Kristaps to guide me is a big advantage. I suppose it’s worth saying to those who don’t know Kristaps that if you want a trainer/coach who will coast with your exercises and just want someone to chat to whilst exercising, Kristaps is not for you as the workouts are never easy. But on the other hand after the hour is done one really feels one has achieved something.

Kristaps is very knowledgeable and he has a great way of teaching. He always makes sure you push yourself and you finish every workout feeling like you achieved something.

Have known Kristaps for a while now, and without a doubt has surely made me a believer in myself in what I'm capable of doing and achieving.I do have personal sessions to taking part in Olympic lifting classes and without a doubt in my opinion kristaps is one of the best and I would sure to recommend what ever you're requirements are with his knowledge and experience he will sure help you to reach you're goal whatever they may be.
