CLIENT REVIEWS
Using my comprehensive fitness service, my aim is to help my clients find their "healthy". Take a look at some of the reviews that have been submitted by satisfied clients.
I met Raza in the gym few months after I moved to Nottingham. At that time I was struggling to create a routine between trainings and my PhD, I had also personal problems that were making the whole thing even more difficult. I asked him tips about some exercises and we ended up booking a training session.
Raza is a highly prepared and skilled trainer, he is really careful when it comes to injuries/specific physical conditions but more importantly he does his job with whole his heart. The sessions are challenging but funny and you feel comfortable and always deeply motivated. Create a connection with your personal trainer is really important to better yourself both physically and mentally. It doesn’t matter at which level you are, he will help you getting stronger and feeling better anyway!

When I started my journey to gain strength I was so anxious to go to the gym and didn’t know where to begin or what I was capable of. Raza has been very understanding of my personal situation, helping me since day one to make progress at a pace I feel comfortable with and build confidence within myself. Although there have been challenges both physically and mentally along the way he has continued encouraging me to persevere and believe in my own abilities. I am very grateful to have Raza’s support and positive attitude guiding me to get stronger, have faith in myself and face the challenges that arise. Ultimately, my journey of finding strength has so far been life changing and Raza has had a big impact on this experience.

I was very overweight, didn’t enjoy exercising and had a hectic home life with a desk based job. Raza helped me to work small changes into my routine and helped me realise that for my body type, gaining muscle mass is more effective at reducing body fat than cardio. Because I can't put pressure on my shoulder joints, Raza helped me strengthen them without hurting them and he found alternative ways to exercise the same muscles in a low impact way. I continue to train with Raza once a week and use my tailored program the other days. I still have a long way to go but every week I am happier with my body and my results.

Approachable
Raza is friendly and approachable, initially helping me to work through the physio I needed to strengthen my feet and ankles post-surgery. We moved from these exercises onto weights, something I’d not had the confidence to try before. Raza provided coaching on technique for all muscle groups and empowered me to progress safely to heavier free weights. Strength training now forms the basis of my week and I feel the fittest I’ve ever been, with Raza to thank!
Beth
knowledgeable
I am a 73 year old who used to be reasonably fit until the covid lockdowns of the last two years changed all that . Two or three months ago I joined a local gym and was lucky to meet Raza who has developed a varied programme for me to improve my strength, flexibility and overall fitness. He is a friendly professional who is very good at motivation and giving detailed instruction. He clearly knows his stuff and I am already noticing the difference! I would strongly recommend Raza to anyone who is looking to improve their fitness levels

ENERGIsING
Raza approach to exercise is energising, engaging, motivational and above all, fun! I have worked with him through injuries, mobility and strength training. Each time tailoring a programme that suits my needs.
Raza is great at introducing new exercise combinations to keep me motivated and using add ons to make moves more complex and my muscles guessing! I always leave his sessions feeling great. Great trainer and enjoy our chats about food in between sets!

Motivating
After training with Raza my views on exercising completely changed. He keeps you motivated, switches things up and makes training enjoyable.
He's also super knowledgeable (all things health and fitness), he helped me with my ankle and balance after injury. Couldn't ask for anything more in a PT.
Emily
Outstanding
Raza is an outstanding personal fitness trainer. He is very conscientious, listens very well to what your fitness goals are and tailors a program to meet them. Once he has designed a program, he takes you very carefully through it to make sure your form is correct and you’re working out safely. He is challenging but supportive and encouraging; a fun guy to be around. One of the best personal trainers! Highly recommended.
Chris
Always There
Raza was amazing and helped me to get a great gym routine going. Over the past couple of years he’s continued to be a great help, changing up the exercises and making sure they’re tailored to me. I would highly recommend!
Tam
extra mile
I was using the same training program for a couple of years until I scheduled a fitness program session with Raza last year. He was recommended by a friend of mine. Raza provided me with a detailed training program considering my fitness goals. I have seen a great improvement since I started following it. Raza is absolutely a people person. He is knowledgeable and always goes extra mile for you no matter how busy he is. I would definitely suggest him to anyone who is looking for an experienced personal trainer, particularly, if you are just starting your fitness journey.

Encouraging
Raza is a great listener and he is very encouraging. I had no knowledge of anything related to weight lifting as I only ever did cardio workouts. He taught me all the basics and went through every exercise in detail. He also takes on board any feedback I have with an exercise. When I informed him that leg extensions cause knee pains, he adjusted my routine accordingly. Raza is definitely one of the best fitness instructors I have ever come across. I’m glad he was the instructor who helped me start my fitness journey.

kind
Raza is an excellent instructor with an understanding of different motivations. Like many other people I go to the gym out of necessity. Raza is kind, supportive and gives me the feeling that I CAN do much more than I thought.
He is patient and he focuses on the individual. He adapts to support different needs and fitness levels.
I warmly recommend him.
Christina
fun & varied
I absolutely loved training with Raza! It was always so much fun and he made sure the sessions were varied and interesting.
I especially appreciated that even though I was a total beginner he made me feel really welcomed in the gym and gave me the confidence to go there on my own as well.
Training with him was always the highlight of the week and something I was really looking forward to.

Patient
I’m Rui and I have trained with Raza for a few months so far. I can ensure he is responsible, experienced and has a sense of humour. Our workout sessions are very fun and motivating. During these past months, he taught me a lot of fitness knowledge and correct workout techniques to avoid injury and he gave me a custom 2-phase plan which suits me well.
Many thanks to Raza for being an excellent trainer and being very patient with me and helping me with every step as a complete beginner.
Rui
Enthusiastic
Raza is an enthusiastic and professional coach. I first met him because my training technique was not very good and he was keen to come and guide me.He told me that I could make an appointment to learn boxing for strength and weightloss. I really like boxing but didn't know how to start at that time, he was very professional helped me a lot.He coached me patiently from the basics of boxing to strength training and as time went on, my movements became more and more fluid, as well as my strength and speed. I can't thank him enough for his patience and enthusiasm. He is a very good coach!

A Solid Coach
Raza, my tutor and friend, I cannot remember how many valuable pieces of advice he has given me. The first time I met him, I was stuck in a plateau for a very long time. After a brief discussion, he immediately pointed out the problem and helped me fix it. With his guidance, I made more progress than I could ever imagine. He is always eager and patient to teach people how to train properly and safely. Every time I meet him to train, I always see him guiding other people with the same consistently high passion since I first met him. That spirit never fades away. For everyone who is guided by him, not only is he a solid coach in training but also a reliable friend you can trust.

Outcome-focused
After a long period of not having an active workout schedule, Raza has been great a personal trainer in supporting my varied objectives.
He provided me with tailored exercises routines to first get back to training, then to prepare for a half marathon, and now gain muscle.
He is outcome-focused, and I have been able to see continual improvement from my sessions, and I have been able to accomplish all my goals.
Moreover, Raza is friendly and very supportive although he helps to push to your limits
Gustavo
supportive
Raza is a super supportive coach and instructor at The University of Nottingham. I know him since 2018. He is a great and friendly trainer with full of passion. He assisted me in reaching my health and fitness goals in manner that best fits my lifestyle, preferences and unique needs. He really can help to discover the benefits and joys of training that makes training more fun and easier. Moreover, he realize how being healthy improves many aspects of human life, so he knows exactly what it means to push the body both physically and mentally. This is why he can understands me and other students and is able to empathize with us when things get tough. I would recommend Raza to anyone looking for a personal trainer.

A Blast
My weight loss journey has been a long and hard one. My goal has always been to be more active and fit but along the way I was not committed to going to the gym.
Since starting training with Raza, I have been more motivated to continue this journey. Training with Raza has been a blast and I have seen so much positive progress (my dresses look amazing on me!)
Funmi
always listens
I started training with Raza a few years ago and have had the best time working with him. When we met, I'd barely touched a set of dumbbells but since then I've seen a huge improvement in my confidence, strength, and energy levels thanks to his input. Raza always listens to my goals, gives feedback to improve my form, and encourages me to push further and keep progressing. He is also great fun. I always have a laugh when we're training and the time flies by. Can't recommend him highly enough!
Joanne
Motivating
Raza has helped my immensely along my fitness journey. He is very easy to get on with and motivating.
In my sessions with Raza we focused on boxing and strength training, and he shaped each session to suit me and my goals.
He helped me gain a lot of confidence in the gym and for this I can’t thank him enough!

Genuine
Raza has been an excellent personal trainer. He asks what you are aiming to achieve in your fitness regime and accordingly tailors the exercises to match, introducing both variety to the workout programme and exercises to suit your fitness level.
His genuine interest in fitness and care taken to explain each step of the workout plan has been a great source of encouragement during my training.
Diana
professional
To be honest, Raza is definitely a great fitness trainer. He is very friendly and professional and will make unique exercise programs for you and keep following up to make sure that he can really help you to do better. He takes an interest in you no matter what fitness level you’re at. Besides, he would constantly encourage you and push you to new heights maybe you never thought possible. Thanks to his guidance and help, I have made a great change of myself. Thanks again for his great job. Would highly recommend Raza to you!

ENgaging
Raza supported my father Alec as the Alzheimer’s progressed. Raza was kind, engaging, funny, encouraging and also challenged my dad to do what he could and sometimes do more than he might otherwise have done! Alec loved him very much. Raza worked with Alec, using natural resistance and bands, engaged him and used daily activities and items to strengthen and interact. Raza was a fundamental part of the team that ensured my dad died peacefully at home, aged nearly 97. His relationship developed and adapted over the five years; he brings his heart to work. You won’t regret working with him!
