5/5
I would recommend Charlie to anyone who is looking for a PT in the Milton Keynes area. He is a fantastic coach, and is responsive to you on the day, knowing how to push you to achieve your goals with the right support and encouragement. He is with you every step of the way on your fitness journey, always asking if he can do anything to help. Charlie genuinely cares about everyone who is part of the CJPT community - you aren't just a number in a gym, you're a person who he wants to see succeed. There is always a supportive atmosphere in the small group sessions due to the culture that Charlie has created with the members at CJPT, and these are people I can call my friends not just someone who I train with. You also get to see Coach Max (he can stay in the office if you are not keen on dogs), so that's another bonus of training at CJPT.
I joined small group training in May, having been to some Send It Saturday sessions with Charlie before this. I had tried different gyms, workout classes, fitness apps and online coaching but nothing was working to motivate me and for me to make progress. I had periods of gym anxiety, where I just wouldn't go, and training would be the first thing I would drop when life got busy. This has all changed in the last 8 months: I consistently work out 3-4 days per week in the SGPT sessions, I have gained so much strength and improved my technique for key lifts, and I have a completely different viewpoint on health and fitness than I did earlier in the year thanks to the new knowledge that Charlie has given me. With Charlie's support and encouragement, I have also taken part in 3 fitness competitions this year, and am hoping I can complete more in 2025.
There is nowhere better to train in Milton Keynes - thank you Charlie!
