"I've been training with Ian at Strive Strength & Fitness (and at his previous location) for over a year now and can say without a doubt, I'm stronger, healthier and happier than I was before. Ian is a real professional and always has fresh/challenging workouts and great enthusiasm tailored to my goals. Training with him in a 1 on 1 environment guarantees you will always have his complete attention and instruction which maximizes your time and results (no slacking hahaha). His training studio is very clean, as I always see him cleaning/sanitizing equipment right after my last set is finished and with no one else there except myself and him, safety and space is not an issue. Couldn't be happier with my decision to train at Strive Strength & Fitness."

"I have been training with Ian for over 8 years now, previously at Gym on Pearl and continuing in his own studio at Strive Strength and Fitness. Ian is very professional, qualified, committed and experienced, helping each person with individualized training to meet their personal fitness goals. Being in my mid-50's, Ian customizes and modifies the training to strengthen and heal injuries from past athletic activity. The training is progressive, he helps keep me motivated and accountable and I see the results in my own improved strength and muscle tone. Ian keeps his studio and equipment clean and sanitized, which is of the utmost importance in these surreal pandemic times. I look forward to many more years of training and I can't endorse Ian highly enough!"

"I have been training with Ian for about 8 years. After all that time Ian somehow finds a way to make each session completely different from others by using all sorts of variations of exercises and challenges that make for some fun workouts with positive results.The studio is always spotless and the equipment is always in top notch condition.I Highly recommend Strive Strength and Fitness."

"I've been working out with Ian at Strive Fitness for 5 months. I can honestly say the areas I wanted to focus on I'm definitely seeing changes! Ian is honest and realistic about what you should expect in terms of results. As long as you can handle it he'll push you until you reach your goals not to mention help plan a way for you to get there. Big time recommendation.."

"Strive Strength and Fitness is a terrific, clean and conveniently located gym and a wonderful place to train safely during a pandemic. Ian works us all hard but always mixes up the training sessions with varied exercises and inspires me to push myself. He's very professional and funny at the same time. British humour!"

"I have trained with numerous trainers and I have to say Ian is up there with the best. His knowledge on exercise and nutrition is beyond reproach. I followed him to his new studio (Strive Strength and Fitness opened Feb 2020) where you literally have your own private gym. Always clean and safe, essential during covid. I'm a client for life!"
