Hall Personal Training

When I first started training with Chris I'd never done weight training before. I saw changes really quickly, both with muscle tone and fat loss. Since I started personal training my body has completely changed. Training with Chris has massively increased my confidence and happiness with my appearance, as well as making me much fitter and healthier. To me that's a fantastic investment. The rest of the team are SO helpful and friendly, and it's great to be part of the training community.

I had trained before after an injury and I was trying to get back to my personal best. Pete was an excellent trainer who varied the training and conditioning to help me to get back to and surpass my old strength levels.Pete kept the exercises varied, and did his best to break me of some bad habits. By isolating some of the muscles, he improved my technique and gave me the support I needed.Pete is a fantastic trainer, very amiable and chatty. He always knew, however, when I was playing for time, and would keep me working hard. The Hall training system allows you to monitor your progress through DropBox files, and gives you goals outside of the sessions such as interval splits and protein intake. All very useful.I did not have time to train longer with Pete, but the training system gave me a solid foundation on which to build my abilities.

I've been with Pete Burke from Hall Training Systems for nearly nine months, and he's been a great PT. He's very motivated and always pushing me on, but not in an overly aggressive way. Pete's very knowledgeable, and on the rare occasion he doesn't know something, he will take it upon himself to go away and research the topic and let me know the answer.He also has a holistic approach that includes helping me out with nutrition, which has been highly effective in achieving my goals.And of course, he's an all round great guy.Highly recommended.

We trained with Chris over several months and were really impressed, he is a great personal trainer and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. Chris listened to exactly what we wanted to achieve and was focused on helping us achieve these goals. Every session was challenging (but fun!) and we saw improvements in our strength every session. Chris’ knowledge of exercise, biomechanics, and diet is really impressive and he can therefore provide a well-rounded approach to fitness. Everyone at Hall Training Systems is really friendly and motivating, so it’s a great place to kick start getting fit.

Becky is BrilliantI have trained with Becky for a few years now. After leaving Oxford I could no longer continue my personal trainer sessions with Becky- sad times. Instead we started a Bootcamp at my office in Bampton. There are between 6-8 of us that have been have enjoying Becky's Bootcamp for a year and we are collectively a lot fitter than we were. Becky changes it each week which keeps it interesting and extremely challenging. I would recommend her and Hall Training to everyone and anyone!

I looked into hiring a trainer as I'm an American student who was studying in Oxford for only 3 weeks and needed to continue on with my training. I did some research and loved the reviews these guys had and what they had to offer.Although my stay was incredibly short and time training with these guys, I had some fantastic sessions and the level of the service provided was awesome.Just a shame we don't have them out in the States!

Hall training combines friendly trainers with technically precise workouts. Since starting training 9 months ago I've become so much stronger and can now lift weights almost twice as heavy as before. Increased strength in my glutes and shoulders have meant that both my running and swimming times have gotten much faster. My trainer Tobi has never pressured me into lifting too much too soon but has also encouraged me to push myself to reach new goals. Ive achieved so many PBs since starting training with the Hall Training team - I would definitely recommend.

I contacted Chris for some nutrition advice in the run up to my Ironman distance race. I felt I need a bit of guidance on eating the right food to get the most out of my training and also consuming the right food post exercise to help recovery. Chris helped me focus more on meal planning and to understand more about portion sizes. As a result I got to the start line in good shape. Thanks Chris.

Big disappointment This training only works if you can lift weights. If for any reason, e.g. injury you cannot, no alternative is offered. No exercise machines at the gym, no aerobic/cardio exercises, no exercises at all without weights.I specified my shoulder hypermobility in the initial phone call (and was told we could work round it) and online form but for my mouvemrent assessment, the trainer had no idea - she mispronounced it twice. Sorry guys but you should be clearer about what you offer and how limited your staff knowledge of anatomy/physiology is.

Hall Personal Training is a top notch studio. For many of us, faceless 24 hour gyms don’t work. For my money, Hall PT thoroughly assess, offer both standard and adapted workouts. They support you through personal health, nutrition and fitness goals and also during the times when injury, illness, rehab and recovery feel like they might get in the way of attending the gym. I always leave feeling “worked out”, completely supported and energised. I’ve never had this level of interest and care even from my years with 1:1 personal trainers! You will be doing you and your health a favour by visiting this inclusive studio and meeting the professional, knowledgeable and dynamic team - sign up and see the difference in you.
