Why Did I Become A Personal Trainer?

I became a coach for one reason.

I wanted to help people live healthier lives than me and my family did.

High blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, joint problems and arthritis are all issues within my immediate family. I felt like I needed to stand up and be the change.

I qualified as a personal trainer in 2013 after experiencing my own lifestyle change. During this time, I learned that I could make real changes to my overweight appearance through hard work, quite a bit of sweat and, most importantly, consistency. I wanted to learn more and help others along the way.

I believe fitness can change more than just your physical appearance.

Its’s the gateway to improve every part of your life.

Testimonials

  • David reed

    Rimon is the guy for personal training in Islington! I initially went to address long term chronic back pain having tried virtually every other type of treatment, and I'm still going a year on having been pain free in my first few weeks. I can’t speak highly enough of the set-up, process and most importantly for me approach Rimon takes - a genuinely great guy who will listen to and understand your situation and get the best out of you. I never leave reviews but I couldn’t have had a better experience with Rimon and feel so grateful to have met him (and his lovely family). Go here!

  • Carl D'souza

    I’ve been training with Rimon for over a year and absolutely love our sessions as they are both challenging and motivating. Since we started training together, he has taught me so much about technical strength training and has also pushed my conditioning to a whole new level. Highly recommend Rimon – seriously one of the best PTs in London!

  • Simon Whalley

    As a fifty-something guy and someone who hadn't been near a gym for decades I was slightly nervous signing up to a personal training session. However, from day one I've look forward to every session with Rimon. He provides the perfect balance between encouragement and pushing you that little bit further. I've now been seeing Rimon for two years and I haven't felt so energetic and fit for years. I can't recommend him enough. The gym is fantastic: small enough to feel personal but big enough to house some amazing kit. If you want to build on your existing fitness level or, like me, make a serious, long-lasting lifestyle change then the Bearded Fitness Guy is the place to start. Thanks Rimon for everything!

  • Deb C

    Great PT - I'm very happy with the results and the increased muscle and strength I've gained, I also feel more confident now! I wanted to tone up and increase muscle mass and my bone health- all achieved since working with Rimon!

    Rimon was super easy to work with and his explanations were very clear. Highly recommend using Rimon's personal training services if you want real results!

  • Georgios Tsamis

    Rimon has been excellent as a personal trainer. We have been working together for a year now, I have noticed improved strength and flexibility, the facilities are great and he is incredibly friendly and helpful, couldn't recommend more!

  • Alex Rawle

    Rimon is an amazing PT and I'm seeing results I didn’t think were possible. I've had such a great experience training with him over the last six months. He's helped me build muscle, gain strength and lose fat sustainably - I'm well on the way to achieving my goals. Rimon is professional, knowledgeable, motivating and super welcoming. He always manages to get the best out of me and I feel so much better about my fitness and health. The new private studio is spacious (allowing you to focus on training) with excellent equipment and a great inclusive vibe.

  • Jessica Neale

    I have trained with Rimon for over a year and he has helped me gain so much confidence in the gym. Rimon gives great advice for improving your form and pushes you hard, but also keeps the sessions fun and enjoyable and I always look forward to them! Would definitely recommend Rimon to anyone looking for a PT.

  • Rohan Baneeah

    Can’t say enough good things about Rimon. He's been absolutely fantastic in helping me achieve my fitness goals. Rimon's dedication, expertise, and motivational skills have been instrumental in my progress. Not only has he helped me improve my overall fitness, but he also introduced me to the exciting world of boxing through his sessions. I've seen remarkable results in a relatively short time, and it's all thanks to Rimon's guidance. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a supportive and effective personal trainer. He truly goes above and beyond to help you become the best version of yourself

  • Hannah Beaver

    I had such a positive experience training with Rimon while I was in London for a few months. In a short time I worked with him to increase my strength and improve my training and weight lifting technique. He was not only very knowledgeable and effective at putting together our workouts, but was a delight to work with — always kind, patient and knew when to give that extra bit of encouragement!

  • Sinan Richards

    The Bearded Fitness Guy is the best PT I’ve ever had. Rimon knows exactly what he’s doing, and made me feel at ease right from the start. I started seeing results within a couple of months of training with him. Rimon is also kind and goes the extra mile to motivate you to get the best results from your workouts. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough to anyone.

  • Kristen Albright

    I’ve been training with Rimon for over a year and absolutely love our sessions as they are both challenging and motivating. Since we started training together, he has taught me so much about technical strength training and has also pushed my conditioning to a whole new level. Highly recommend Rimon – seriously one of the best PTs in London!

  • Ben P

    Rimon is a top PT. I needed someone very knowledgeable to help me get back into lifting weights without triggering any old injuries. He is a stickler for good form, and very motivating. Always squeezing one last rep out when you don't think you have it in you. His gym space is perfect - good equipment, full of light and energy. I'm really excited about the journey I'm now on. And I'm excited by my progress. Thoroughly recommend Rimon.

  • Chris Jones

    I've been training with Rimon for about six months. Initially, I went with the intention of shedding a few pounds before my wedding, but I've been married six weeks now and I'm still going. I feel stronger, more energetic, and look forward to my sessions (if not the early alarm!). Rimon is a great PT; not the kind that's going to scream in your face, but gives the right encouragement to finish the set. And whenever I have niggles or pains, he knows the right stretch or adjustment to my technique. Highly recommended!

  • Kayeem Patel

    I don’t often leave reviews but I had to for Rimon.

    He is an absolute godsend in the fitness space.

    My first session with him was amazing and I was able to lift weights at an intensity I never had by myself. I have always had tight hamstrings and within the first session Rimon spotted that and recommended stretches to help. And, while I still can’t touch my toes, I am a lot more flexible.

    There’s a lot of information about fitness out there and it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Rimon has clarified so many important fitness topics that I didn’t fully understand. He has explained how to track calories, why macros are so important to track, the importance of progressive overload and much much more.

    I would 100% recommend Rimon to anyone who asks!

  • Akhila Raju

    I trained with Rimon for the month of March. Rimon is one of the best trainers I've had. He is highly detail-oriented and motivated me to go the extra mile and it felt like he was personally invested in my health more than previous trainers I've had. He is really kind and professional - if you're looking for personal training in Islington, Rimon is the best choice!

  • Richard Trafford

    Excellent personal trainer conveniently located in Islington in a private studio.

    Rimon helped me through back issues with deep massage and PT. Really one of a kind and when I’m back in London will definitely start visiting them again.

My Asian upbringing

Growing up in a first generation asian household, my parents kept me in bubble wrap through my upbringing. Now that i’ve grown up I can understand that they were just afraid. It was a huge culture shock for them from their traditions however what they thought was protecting me was creating more damage to my overall well being.

An asian diet mostly consists curries, rice, paratha, samosas, jalebi, varieties of desserts etc… the list goes on and on. It’s not the healthiest food that’s for sure! Factor in no exercise because I was kept indoors to study most of the time and every so often seeing aunts and uncles who feed you to till you won’t fit through the door!

My upbringing was very isolated and had a huge impact on my wellbeing. My interpersonal skills sucked as a result which made it hard to make friends. I’m sure everyone has had their experience with bullies at some point however, this along with all the other things knocking me back, buried my self worth.

The Power Of Movement

Fitness absolutely switched my life around!

After a few months of starting my journey I found myself naturally being more open and able to speak to people. I started to talk to more people in the gym who appeared to be doing well with their fitness, picking their knowledge. Shifting the fat was great, but the boost in my confidence was unbelievable. I wanted to learn more and help others along the way.

Becoming A Dad

Becoming a dad has been one of the hardest, but at the same time most joyful things I have experienced in my life.

The lack of sleep, the nappy changes, the feeding, the vomiting, and when they start crawling you just can’t take your eyes off them! Pile on the fact that my wife went back to work after 5 weeks, with both of us working upwards of 35 hours. Having to juggle both our schedules and trying to fit around our clients schedules also. This was no easy feat. Oh and let us not forget that we also opened our first private personal training studio.

We asked for this life… However, even with all this craziness, seeing my little Freya learn and develop makes it all worth it.

It’s an extremely busy life. I understand what a busy lifestyle really is and I understand the struggles that come with it especially when it comes to your health and fitness.

The problem almost always bottles down to not having a plan in place and being organised. Not only will I create a plan tailored to you and your lifestyle but I will keep you accountable with regular check ins.
