Why I Started Training with Wern:
When I first began going to the gym at the end of 2024, I was motivated by wanting to get fit and lose some weight. But if I’m being honest, what really drove me to seek professional help was looking at some photos of myself – I looked atrocious and really didn’t like what I saw. However, looking back now, it wasn’t just about appearance. Things were starting to hurt constantly – my back, legs, and shoulders would be sore even after just lying in bed. I was experiencing what I now realize was significant brain fog, struggling to concentrate at work and focus on tasks at home for more than 10 minutes at a time. I hadn’t fully noticed these symptoms initially, but they were seriously impacting my daily life.
The Training Experience:
I signed up with Wern in January 2025 for weekly sessions with nutritional support. From the very first sessions, Wern focused on helping me understand how far I could actually push my body – what maximum effort really felt like. On my own, I wasn’t getting anywhere close to what my true potential was, and without that intensity, training 3-4 times a week wasn’t going to deliver real benefits.
The Nutritional Breakthrough:
What was most striking in those first few months was Wern’s insight into my eating habits. I was consuming large amounts of foods that seemed healthy on the surface – bowls of fruit and yogurt that most people would consider reasonably nutritious. But Wern explained how these were spiking my insulin levels and causing sugar crashes, which explained why I was constantly tired, snacking all the time, and always craving more carbs. By addressing my carb-heavy and sugar-laden diet, I saw incredible results almost immediately. In just 4 weeks, I lost almost a stone and about 15-20% body fat.
Beyond Weight Loss – The Complete Transformation:
The physical results were impressive, but what amazed me most was everything else that changed. The brain fog completely disappeared. I regained clarity of thought and could focus properly again. All those persistent aches and pains that I’d blamed on sitting at a desk all day were gone. I felt like I was back to being myself – like I was normal again.
Continued Progress and Evolution:
Six months later, I’ve now lost nearly 2 stone and about 25% body fat. My weight has stabilized, but Wern has evolved my training program at the perfect time. We’ve moved from the initial isolation and single-limb work that addressed my body’s imbalances and weak spots to full-body compound movements. This progression has supercharged my results. I feel like I’ve broken through a plateau and am now losing more weight while gaining even more strength and power – something I’m incredibly excited to continue.
My Recommendation:
Working with Wern has been transformational in ways I never expected. He didn’t just help me lose weight and get stronger – he gave me back my mental clarity, eliminated chronic pain, and taught me how my body actually responds to different foods and training methods. If you’re considering personal training, I can’t recommend Wern highly enough. His expertise goes far beyond just showing you exercises – he understands the complete picture of health and fitness, and he’ll help you achieve results you didn’t even know were possible.
Wern has literally changed my life for the better, he has an amazing knowledge of the body and an infectious personality. He’s the only PT that I’ve met that I’ve felt really cares about his clients and the results. He’s guided me to some amazing results of which I’ve lost close to 5 stone and built muscle with it which I didn’t really think was possible. The way I feel has transformed my life and massively improved my mental health. I can’t thank him enough to be honest. My advice to anyone who wants to transform their health and fitness just go and see Wern and don’t bother looking elsewhere Top bloke in my book.
I’ve been training with Wern for almost a year now as part of a corporate benefit. What can I say! Wern is great, 2 varied session a week, plus loads of advice on how to achieve my goals. I’m sub 20% body fat for the first time in my life, and the creeping aches of middle age seem to have vanished as Wern has focussed not just on one aspect of fitness, but all of them! Cannot recommend him and the team highly enough.
Wern was a total game changer for me in my fitness and lifestyle goals. The Sleep Eat Train system makes total sense to me now but was not something I was aware of before working with Wern. The Zoom classes are top class and Wern tailors everything to your body and schedule. I ended up dropping 25 lbs and 8% body fat in 10 weeks. I would recommend Wern to anyone!
When I started working with Wern I hadn’t exercised in a number of years. I was very concerned as a result of a previous health condition. Wern recognised this and worked me to slowly build the complexity and intensity of our routines. When lockdown happened, Wern continued to do workouts online and worked hard to keep them interesting and challenging. I had a specific goal to lose weight for my wedding. Wern wanted to know all details of the dress and focused our workouts on our agreed target areas. I am delighted with the results. I would highly recommend Wern to anyone looking to get back into exercise.
I have been training with Wern for the last 5 years. He’s truly passionate about finding the right solution for the individual and giving that tailored approach. Has also offered great flexibility between training in the gym and online.
Working with Wern over the last 7 years has proven to be extremely positive, his genuine and realistic approach to training has helped me stay focused, obtain lasting results and keep motivated. Wern is an extremely likeable person and makes tough days pleasant – “get yourself on line and he will do the rest”. Recommended 100%.
What can I say about working with Wern and his incredible training methods? I should start with the things Wern gave me. A 5 stone weight loss, a change to a 100% healthy life long diet, motivation to the meet and achieve my own goals, my massively increased fitness and endurance levels are just a few of the benefits I get working with Wern. Wern’s online training is as effective as being in the gym with because he motivates me like no one I have ever met, Thank you Wern, I could not have achieved any of it without you mate.
Wern is awesome! I’m based in New York and despite the time difference he was able to stay in touch constantly, arrange zoom workouts and create a personalized program. Very thoughtful programming, even on video he was able to spot little things about my form, make adjustments when needed and push me to my limits! He also helped with nutrition so I could make the most out of the exercise. My whole goal was to rebuild the strength I had lost while the gyms were closed during quarantine in New York… we did that and then some in a matter of weeks, cheers Wern!
If you are searching for a personal trainer don’t look anywhere else. I’ve been working with Wern for over 4 months now with results I couldn’t be happier with. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect (not have used a personal trainer before) and his depth of knowledge about the body and how it works is remarkable. I decided to look for someone to help me with my posture, weight loss and general fitness and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Wern’s knowledge of anatomy and his nutritional advice has completely educated me on how to make the changes that will stick and keep me in good shape as I get older. If you get onto a programme with Wern (which I urge you to do), ask him for his leather punch tool when you need those extra holes in your belt because with your reduced waist line you’ll need them! Best feeling in the world is leaving those old holes behind! Wern is also an extremely likeable fella too. He’ll push you to reach your goals but works with you and at your pace and ability. Can’t recommend Wern Fitness highly enough.
Not only is Wern ultra knowledgeable about nutrition, fitness, and overall health – he’s also engaged and engaging. I was nervous at my first appointment because I had never seen a personal trainer before, but Wern was so friendly and enthusiastic, I was immediately put at ease. He’s changed my life with his advice on nutrition and exercise; he explains things so clearly and is genuinely driven by helping people. He has taught me how to optimise my exercise, but also how to take care of my nutrition. He’s amazing!
Wern’s online boot camp classes have been excellent so far! The sessions are always full of energy & suited to all levels of fitness. Wern has a great way of motivating people especially when things start getting a little tough! If you’re looking to get fit, he is your man!
I’ve been seeing Wern for just over a year and have lost 2 stones in that time. Wern’s focus on diet and overall health issues as well as ‘just’ personal training has really made the difference for me. We tried a couple of different food plans before we found one that worked – essentially fasting for around 16 hours between evening meal and lunch – and really triggered my weight loss and fitness. It’s this personalised approach that works really well. I’d also say that during lockdown, Wern has been just as focussed on maintaining my improvements through one to one online training and getting me involved in group bootcamp sessions. I’d recommend Wern to anyone looking not just to lose weight but feel fitter, healthier and have better self-esteem.
Having trained with Wern Fitness for over a year. My transformation has been amazing. I was in a very poor state of health and fitness. I was guided through not only the fitness elements but also dietary and wellbeing. The sessions were fun and informative. The Gym was modern with a good selection of equipment suited to all needs. Wern himself is very professional, informative and has a fully encompassing approach. I would solidly recommend.
Wern is a great personal trainer. He builds a training, fitness, and holistic health plan with you and then works to get you on board, stretching you to achieve your goals. His studio is always clean and his routines are varied to keep you interested. But, most of all, he knows how to build rapport and relationships and adjusts his approach to suit you. He recently started training my wife, who needs a very different style, and she is loving the program!
Wern is an absolutely superb trainer, both inside the gym and on an online platform. He personally guided me and educated me on both training and nutrition which has always been my downfall, I’ve lost a significant amount of weight, gained muscle and reduced body fat percentage drastically – never felt better. I would like to highlight his online training classes also, going through 3 lockdowns in the last year it would be easy to kick back and forget training. Wern made sure the online classes were relevant, fun and gave you the desired effect for all abilities. Also very easy to manage whether it’s a 1:1 PT or joining the class. Would totally recommend to anybody looking to shift a little lockdown timber / generally get healthier!
Wern was a saviour during lockdown! Our gym was closed so we were doing group sessions and he was able to accommodate even though we had no weights/equipment to use. Also did some private sessions and meal planning to get me wedding ready – highly recommend him!
Class bloke! Wern understands the needs of the individual and is able to tailor programmes around this. Most PTs have the ability to do this, they simply wouldn’t last of they couldn’t but what’s different with Wern is he’s able to work with people on a deeper level by genuinely getting along with them. He adapts the way he works with me, other friends that I know and other people in the gym. We’re all different not just in body but importantly in what’s motivating or what’s holding us from being motivated to change a lifestyle.

I’ve been working out with Wern for a few months, I started before lockdown and then we moved to online training. He has kept me sane and fit at a time that was considerably challenging for me. And he is very understanding, he has adapted the training for me when I was struggling and revide it up when I was ready. I highly recommend Wern if you are serious about your health and fitness. I will continue to use Wern for online training because he will get me where I need to go, even at my age!
Wern’s simply fantastic. Experienced, incisive and will get you where you want to go. The difference I’ve seen in my strength in just a few months is huge. His skilled holistic approach – diet, fitness and mental health – is a rare find.
