I have been training with Ross now for the last two years, and have lost six stone and eight pounds, (As you can see from the photo my figure has changed dramatically.
My sessions with Ross have resulted in a raise in energy levels, and an increase in both confidence and motivation. I no longer
break out into a sweat when doing simple tasks such as climbing the stairs, or chasing a bus. Not only has there been an
enormous increase in my fitness levels, but Ross has helped me also to improve my eating habits
the cliché is true; you are what you eat!

When my son bought me a series of sessions with a personal trainer, I was pleased with his thoughtfulness (worried about dad’s increasing girth and potential for a heart attack) and scared about what lay before me. At forty-seven I thought that my hard working days were over and I really did not see pleasure in going back to school for PE lessons.
I put off calling for a bit, but a quick call from Ross Patterson had him in my diary and shortly afterwards, me in his gym. I was impressed with the thoroughness of the fitness check on me, not only making measurements but indicating which he though were relevant. As a GP, I too have to balance the value of results against their numbers and then explain that to my patients: Ross acted with true professionalism.
Over about a dozen sessions now, I have developed from feeling decidedly middle aged to being physically well able to get on with anything the world throws at me. Ross has planned my exercise regime, not only to avoid problems with my back (which a broke in 1994) but also to give me the core stability to conquer the pain I have become accustomed to. As we have gone along, he has explained what he is doing to which muscle groups, something which I have particularly appreciated since I still remember some anatomy, even so long after my time at medical school. When I have been under the weather, Ross has adapted the session to maintain both my fitness and my interest (no two sessions have ever been the same with this man!).
I have already bought a series of sessions for my wife, and have recommended Ross to a number of my patients. I suppose my overall recommendation for Ross is that he is clearly competent, is pleasant in his manner, focused on his client and well able to deal with a character as difficult as myself.
For anyone who works at a desk, needs their heart to last well into their pension plan and knows the difference between value and cost, Ross Paterson is your man.
