Here are a selection of comments from clients who have experienced the Pete Fraser Fitness approach.
It is the friendly feel…
I was first attracted to PFF by its convenience, located round the corner from my offices, and its privacy. It’s a far cry from most gyms you see today which tend to be noisy and hectic.
PFF offer a highly personal service. It is a tailored approach to each individual which works for me
I have been coming to PFF for 7 years now. Before this I had been a member of various gyms which I would be enthusiastic about for a while and then my enthusiasm would wane. Pete’s targeted and goal oriented approach to fitness has kept me motivated and the convenience has meant that I am able to incorporate training into my working week which I believe is the only way of ensuring long term results. I certainly feel fitter and healthier for it.
I actually look forward to seeing Pete which must be fairly unique for a gym albeit when I am in the middle of gruelling session I must admit sometimes I wonder why! It is the friendly feel of the place, the personal touch and the targeted approach which really works for me.

Highly professional yet relaxed approach…
I was recommended to Pete Fraser Fitness by a peer I respect in business. During the introductory session I appreciated the highly professional yet relaxed approach to personal training.
The entire experience is very bespoke. Everything is unhurried and low key. Peter and Kim are very experienced personal trainers and that is instantly clear. In my experience, prior trainers have gone for too much too soon. Those sessions were too challenging to be enjoyable and became chore like. Peter and Kim have a gradual, steady approach which brings cumulative and sustainable results.
I attend for a weekly session and then do the ‘homework’ Peter gives me. The result is that I feel fit and I want to stay fit.
Pete Fraser Fitness offers professional, customized personal training for busy people. The service is highly individualized, the trainers are personable and the experience enjoyable. I recommend highly.

I am impressed by the caring service…
Private gym, one on one service, operated and manned by Pete & Kim.
I am impressed by the caring service and the quality of the training. You feel your health and progress is at the heart of Pete and Kim.
I’m physically and mentally healthier and fitter plus it's improving exponentially.
My years of training at Pete's gym has dramatically changed my life. I feel like it's been an incredible injection of youth and well-being.
Michel Birkenwald - Gemologist, Graff Diamonds
I am quite asthmatic…
Through a recommendation. Liked the idea of a one to one in a smaller and more private gym.
The attention to detail and the way a routine could quickly and easily be adapted for my personal needs and aspirations. Pete quickly worked out what I could do and wanted to do. Good vision.
I am quite asthmatic which is much improved through specific C.V. work. I have also suffered from a shoulder injury and again with good treatment from Pete I am much better. I feel much healthier.
Focused, dedicated, fun and personal. Pete is a real people person.
Paul Williams - CEO, Derwent London
I was unable to run for four years…
I very much liked the idea of a smaller intimate gym with one to one instruction.
The service is second to none - I have every confidence that I am in safe hands as Pete has a wealth of experience behind him and really ‘knows his stuff”, especially where rehab is concerned.
When I first joined, I had not been able to run for four years because of a knee problem, which could have resulted in surgery. However, with the help of Peter and his rehab techniques I was running again within three months. This was something I never expected. The benefits for me are not just from a fitness angle but also from a psychological point - he is often a sounding board and this really helps me relax and unwind.
It is great for one who needs personal and individual attention. During one’s session he is 100% focused on you.

I was not pushing myself enough…
I first came to Pete Fraser Fitness because I needed to get more from my fitness regime. I was not pushing myself enough and hence the results were not forthcoming. Having used personal trainers at larger gyms before, I was attracted by the idea of a small gym with a personal level of service.
I found Pete to be highly professional and knowledgeable. Having sustained a back injury, he was able to adapt my training in line with my physiotherapy. I was able to continue exercising, something I probably would not have had the confidence to do on my own.
There is no doubt that my level of fitness has greatly improved and I am delighted by the muscle definition I have gained – the triceps dips have paid off! I am also much more confident using free weights which means I can keep up with my regime even whilst travelling.
Pete Fraser Fitness stands out for its professional and friendly service. Pete’s total expertise in fitness and rehabilitation is in my opinion second to none.
Geri - Asset Manager
Bespoke and personal service…
The fact it was a small local gym offering a bespoke and personal service.
The intimate and friendly approach/ not a typical gym.
I joined with a nagging lower back problem I had suffered for over two years which was cured within four months with sensible core strengthening exercise.
The PFF service is epitomised by Peter himself.
Peter offers a user friendly service backed up by excellent technical expertise.
It's fun too!
Simon Silver - Co-founder & Development Director, Derwent London
Helped in my recovery…
Pete is a highly skilled fitness professional who provides a great work-out environment at Coach & Horses Yard.
Most recently he has helped in my recovery from knee replacement surgery with a carefully structured rehabilitation regime. I lead a hectic life but it’s vital to find time for exercise and Pete’s flexible approach makes it possible. So it's top marks for a top team.
John Burns - Co-founder, CEO, Chair Ret, Derwent London
I usually hate going to the gym…
It’s personal, and one to one, it feels very personal and private with no one looking at you while you train.
I usually hate going to the gym and don’t normally last longer than about 4 weeks, I have nearly done a year and now don’t feel myself if I have not worked out – Peter has certainly changed something in me, he had a very `softly softly` approach that didn’t make me run away
My body shape has changed, I have a reduced amount of body fat and I feel alive again
If you have always hated going to the gym then this will totally change your opinion. Speaking to Peter whilst on the treadmill is somehow a strange form of therapy.
