“The whole package was brilliant and the results achieved (>12kg weight loss in 10 weeks; fitter; leaner; more muscle definition, FTP up 60 watts, VO2 max up 7 ml/kg/min) have been incredible - all expectations have been shattered. Neil’s coaching is very well tailored for the over-40s. It’s based around common sense and a straightforward balance of exercise, nutrition (real foods, not powders/supplements) and rest. It recognises that there’s a real life to be lived, and his guidance is pragmatic and easy to follow. Arguably, the highlight has been the community support and the cheering of everyone’s successes.”

They say if you want to go fast, go alone. However, if you want to go far, go together. And that’s what we did in the Cycle Lean Collective. I made many new like-minded friends who are all looking to be the best version of themselves. I learned about the eating continuum, from dieting to fuelling. And my performance improved. It was all made possible by the camaraderie that was formed as we all worked together. And a shoutout to our conductor, Neil, who orchestrated everything. Couldn’t have done it without him. A thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Everything you need to succeed is available. I'm now a lighter, more confident cyclist in just a short time working with Neil. Very recommended to anyone wanting to make a change.

“Reached out to Neil after I overtrained for an event and was at a loss on how to proceed. Neil took into account my shift work and planned workouts around my lifestyle so that I was able to rapidly improve my fitness levels while having plenty of recovery. I highly recommend Neil as a coach, as he has helped me get to where I wanted to be and gave some great advice regarding nutrition and rest, he is always on hand with any questions I have and the weekly updates and monthly one-to-ones are just what I needed. Thanks, Neil !

I'm new to cycling and used to just lift weights. The cycle lean project allowed me to mix cycling and workouts and the combination helped me lose 15 pounds. I also enjoyed the freedom to eat my own foods And learned the benefits of rest and training intensity. I would recommend working with Neil to anyone.

Neil is a fantastic coach and trainer to work with. Over the past three months has helped me tremendously to increase my muscle mass and to increase my fitness ahead of a climbing trip. I feel confident and stronger in my body. My new exercise regime is sustainable and I know that it will work long term. Thank you Neil!

“I found Neil on Instagram, the over 40’s grabbed me! Neil was supportive on and off the bike, over the past 4 months. My cycling has improved significantly since working with Neil. The training load was tailored just right for me. I’m very glad I took the plunge to work with Neil. Cannot wait to see where I am in another 4 months.”

I did a 3 month strength & weight loss program with Neil & lost a total of 5 kgs over the duration .what I liked most from our first online conversation was the fact that it felt very comfortable to speak with Neil, I told him exactly what I could & could not do with my diet based on a very physically active job & he adapted a diet & exercise program around that ,would highly recommend Neil if you want to make changes to your life & get results

I just want to thank Neil for being an excellent personal trainer. Work paid for 12 sessions with a PT and after a bit of research I went with Neil. He’s calm, friendly, and knowledgable. I’d never even been to a gym before, so was apprehensive about working with a personal trainer, but Neil made me feel very comfortable, listening to and answering any questions I had. Over the course of the sessions we worked on toning up my muscles, being more physically active to improve overall mental well-being, and reducing lower back pain. I’m pleased to say we were successful in all three areas, and I have kept up the routine we developed at home now that the sessions have finished. I’d happily recommend Neil to others. Thanks again!
