Fitlab Coaching  Reviews 31

As I come to the end of my experience with Fitlab, I wanted to write a short review and a big thank you to Matt and Chris for teaching me what is possible for an ordinary middle aged guy.
After an initial zoom chat with Chris for me to get a feel and for Chris to evaluate my goals, I signed up for a six month coaching term and Matt was selected as my coach.
My job is hectic and involves a lot of international travel meaning it could be difficult to get consistency in diet and training. Despite this, with the advice and guidance from Matt, in four months he transformed me as a 49 year old into the best shape of my life. I was even confident enough to be involved with the photoshoot which was a brilliant experience.
I achieved my goal of getting “ripped at 50” and the information they have given has set me up to be confident to continue on my own.
Overall I can’t recommend highly enough! Thanks Matt and Chris!!

Im 48 and have been working with Alex for the last nine months. I can honestly say it’s changed my outlook on training, nutrition and how I approach my lifestyle. He’s been there through ups and downs in my journey and has always had my back. If you’re looking to make some changes, feel more confident, and work with someone who truly knows their stuff, look no further. I consider Alex a friend and will always stay in contact.

I started working with the guys at FitLab 5-6 months ago and my experience has been first class.

I reached out to Chris as I had rediscovered the gym after many years and was conscious I had no structure. I was also only too aware that my nutrition was, on the whole not bad, but certainly not optimal. Again, no structure.

Chris straight away put me at ease as soon as we spoke and just seemed to 'get it' from how I was describing what my current habits were, where I wanted to ideally get to and what my specific goals were. Nothing was pushy, Chris asked me pertinent questions, listened to my answers and demonstrated a genuine interest in helping me get to where I wanted to be.

I then met Matt, my coach. Matt provided me with a very detailed training and nutrition plan. One that was so simple to follow. The app - TrueCoach - details the workouts with videos and allows you to track your progress week-on-week. The nutrition plan was also simple to follow, with different options available, tailored to what you enjoy eating. I was surprised at how it wasn't all about denying yourself all the things you liked, but it was all about balance and good habits.

Fast forward to now and I am absolutley thrilled with the results from my time working with FitLab. So much so, I even took part in a photo shoot, something that is totally out of my comfort zone and something I never would have considered previous to beginning the programme. It was really fun and great to meet some of the other people who had been doing the same thing as me!

I have enjoyed working with FitLab so much, that I have extended for a further 6 months. This is testament to not only the results I have got from working with FitLab but the excellent coaching I have received. I have found the accountability and motivation that Matt provides as my coach invaluable. The weekly check-ins ensure I am sticking to the plan and making progress. Being a keen runner, Matt has also tailored my training programme to include running for me, too, which really helped me when training for a recent marathon I completed.

Investing in your health is easily the best investment you can make and I am looking forward to learning new things over the next 6 months, and together with what I have learned so far, I can look to implement the good habits and consistency into my daily routine for the rest of my life. Something I will always be grateful for.

On a final note, I can't speak highly enough of Chris and Matt personally. They are both really knowledgeable and experienced, but are also really friendly and down to earth so it's always a pleasure speaking with them and catching up.

Nothing to think about, these guys will get you to where you want to be.

I started this year with a goal to shift a much needed 3 stone plus and after a few months of living off salads and loads of cardio, my weight had plateaued and my enthusiasm had gone. Yes I had lost a lot of weight but that wasn't just fat, I had lost a lot of strength and muscle mass too!
In July I saw Chris promoting Fitlab on social media and it struck a chord with me. I nervously bit the bullet and contacted him to arrange a zoom call. I am always sceptical about online promotions and sales but found Chris reassuring so I took a gamble which turned out to be one of the best decisions I have ever made. Head coach Matt became my coach and totally changed my routine and lifted my moral higher than it had ever been. They tailor your diet to suit your tastes and needs, design your training around what you enjoy and are able to do. They are always there to support you and offer advice and encouragement. Every week you do an online 'check in' which keeps you accountable for what you have done that week which I found invaluable. I am not 5 1/2 stone lighter than January, and leaner than I ever thought was possible.... I've even got a 6 pack! In short my decision to go with Fitlab has been life changing and I can't thank the guys enough for working with me for the last few months and look forward to many more.

I’ve been working with Chris since July, and I can honestly say it’s been transformational. I’d been trying to lose weight for years, but after seeing a photo of myself, I decided enough was enough. I wanted to do this for me and for my children. At that point, I weighed 115kg.

Over time, I managed to lose around 10–15kg on my own, but I hit a plateau and couldn’t move past it. That’s when Chris came in. He put together a structured training plan, gave clear and practical nutrition advice, and provided constant motivation and support.

My original goal was 85kg. When I reached it, Chris encouraged me to aim higher, first 80kg, and then, ahead of an end-of-year photoshoot, something I never thought possible. I’m now 78.5kg.

I’m genuinely amazed by the results. More importantly, I feel healthier, more confident, and motivated to keep building into the next phase. I’m continuing to work with Chris because this journey isn’t over.

I honestly couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

I reached out to FitLab Coaching in April after seeing a friend on the programme start getting real results. At the time, I was 48, wanted to get in shape, and honestly had no idea where to start. The internet is a mess of conflicting advice, and for me it just made things seem more confusing.

For me this wasn’t about aesthetics. It was about my health—physical and mental. Years of long hours at a desk, constant travel, and hotel living had taken their toll, and I knew I needed to make a change, fast.

From the first meeting with Chris, I had a good feeling. He’s clearly passionate about what he does, and that shows in every part of FitLab. The process is completely de-mystified. You’re given a simple, structured programme that actually makes sense, backed up by excellent coaches who respond quickly to questions and give honest, constructive feedback through weekly check-ins.

You’re guided through everything—how to log food properly, practical menu ideas, and structured gym workouts. There’s no guesswork. All you have to do is just show up and stay consistent, and like my experience the results will just follow naturally.

FitLab also feels like a proper community. There’s ongoing education, group chats, shared experiences, and weekly podcasts that deal with real-life nutrition and training challenges—how to make this work alongside a normal job and lifestyle. No fads. No nonsense.

A special shout-out to Matt Wright, my coach. Everything he said in our initial meeting has come true. Seven months in, I’m 14kg lighter, my overall health and mental outlook have massively improvements, and yesterday I took part in a professional photoshoot, something I never would have imagined doing.

I can’t recommend FitLab Coaching highly enough. I’ve just signed up for another six months because this isn’t a “programme” anymore—it’s a way of life. Hands down, the best investment I’ve ever made.

If you’re reading this and still on the fence—stop!!!!!
Invest in yourself. Call the team at FitLab. I promise you it will be one of the best decisions you ever make.

I got into contact with Chris by chance, I was trying to to achieve my goals by picking up bits and pieces by following fitness influencers online. Chris dropped me a message and asked if we could have a video chat. During the chat he asked about my goals and what I would like to achieve and told me that with his program this would all be achievable. I had been approached by other fitness professionals and they were all quite pushy and really trying to sell there service but with Chris it was all very relaxed and I never once felt like he was trying the hard sell.
Since joining with the help of my trainer Matt I have lost 17kg in 6 months and feel so much more confident in my appearance. Although it’s online coaching Matt has always been there for me when I have needed any advice and alway encouraged me when I’ve had weeks that have been tough.
To anyone looking to start their weight loss journey I would fully recommend signing up with FitLab Coaching it’s been the best thing I’ve done and can’t thank them enough for getting me in the best shape of my life.
To top this all off they offered me the chance to participate in a fitness photo shoot something I never thought I would ever be able to do.

An unbelievable journey the last 6 months working with Chris and the fitlab team , physically and mentally in the best shape of my life , full of motivation and genuinely couldn’t of asked for any better guidance through the whole process . A new lease of life and confidence , couldn’t recommend joining anymore .

I reached out to Chris at FITLAB in January 2025, I had seen a few people I knew who had completed a training program with him and had amazing results. I wasn’t happy with my current weight and overall health/ fitness levels.
Chris run through a complete program with me, sent me step by step guides / nutrition documents / workout documents & meal plans. He made it so easy to follow. The help and support along the way has been outstanding. Weekly check-ins, tweaks and updates to work round my busy life style. I have recently completed a shoot with him in London which I never thought I’d be in a good place to do this. Other than my body now being in great shape my overall health has improved 100%, better sleep, more energy. I would highly recommend FITLAB, they have been amazing and extremely knowledgeable.

Joining FitLab Coaching has been one the best decisions I have ever made! Life changing and I'm only halfway through the 6-montj program. The coaches are always available to help and support throughout the program, meaning if you're unsure about anything they talk you through the process and answer any questions promptly! The program includes a weekly check-in and the feedback from your coach is within 24hrs, giving you a detailed review of your performance that week and what went well and what you need to work on.
The workout program is great and really helpful to get you into a good routine and learn new exercises in the gym, plus it explains the tempo, reps and sets you need to work to. Then, there's the nutrition side which is 75% of getting great visual results! They provide recipes to use, a good tracking app to track your macro nutrients, and even a shopping list so it makes it easier for you to buy the right foods, if you need to.
A fantastic Fitness Coaching company and would highly recommend to anyone who wants to really change their life and get that dream physique they've always wanted! All you need to do is trust the program, show up and be consistent. 👍

I joined Fitlab in Feb 2025. Today, 9 months later, I took part in a professional photo shoot in London! Never in my life did I imagine I’d be flexing and tensing in front of one of the UKs best fitness photographers! The guys at Fitlab have taken me from a flabby 43 year old to a physique I’ve only dreamt of or seen in fitness magazines.

My weight got out of control after a lower back injury last year.. I reached a point where I was unhappy about my waist line, health and general appearance. Life always got in the way and I used every excuse to avoid the gym!

I started to look for a fitness program that came with accountability that also guaranteed results. I came across Fitlab on instagram and reached out. After discussing the program with chris it was an easy decision to sign up! I’ve been working with Matt from the start and the program has changed my life. It’s so simple… just follow the program they create for you… all you need to do is turn up and give 100%. They create your food diary, workouts and offer all the support you’ll ever need.

I can’t recommend these guys enough! Not only is the program easy, it’s good fun and the results speak for themselves. The guys are so genuine and totally invested in your journey. I’m 14kg lighter, happier, healthier and soo proud of the changes I’ve made in my life. There’s of course a multitude of online coaches and companies selling this dream but these guys are the real deal!

I’ve just signed up for another 6 months… the best investment I’ve ever made! Hand on heart… just a wonderful experience from start to (almost) finish!

Couldn't recommend Fitlab highly enough. I'm a 47 Yr old with a very busy life like many! I have a full on job Mon-Fri & Family with 5 kids , I was over weight and unhealthy, my eating choices were poor, something had to change but thought how on earth am I going to fit in training as well! I did, All thanks to the team at Fitlab, Chris, Matt & Alex are fantastic coaches and know there profession, I worked closely with Alex, he's been amazing throughout my transformation, They gave me a structure, a plan, a goal to aim for and the results have been astounding, I feel fitter, healthier and its something which has genuinely changed my life, mentally and physically, and what they have given me is something that I can continue for the rest of my days and that is something to be proud of!
Thank you

This was by far the best decision I have made in a very long time, Chris reached out to me and made me realise i could become a much better version of myself, I was apprehensive at first but chris made me feel comfortable and gave me re assurance that he would help set me up and build me a program that fitted into my daily life, which he did and I honestly look back now and have zero regrets because I have not only changed Alot physically but also alot mentally I am in the best place I have been in a very long time.
Then chris assigned me a coach which was Alex and I couldn't of asked for a better person to help me through my program, he was there every step of the way i don't think I could of done it without him so a massive thank you to him, we were in contact everyweek, If I wanted to amend my program in any way with either the food(I am a very fussy about food)or something in the gym he was there helping me find what suited me best he was there whenever I needed him and he gave me great advice throughout, You have changed my life and I will be forever greatful, if you choose to sign up with FitLab you will not regret it, honestly thank you again to everyone at FitLab. Such an amazing experience.

Thanks
Matt

After years of consistent effort in the gym with little to show for it, I felt stuck. At 43, I was certain I knew the basics of fitness and nutrition, but the reality was that I was just going through the motions without progress. I realised that what I lacked wasn't effort, but structure. This realisation finally prompted me to seek professional help, leading me to Chris at FitLab Coaching. Five months into this journey, I'm genuinely so glad I made the jump.

Working with Chris has been transformational. He didn't just give me generic advice; he delivered the exact formula, planning, and structure I needed. For the first time, I feel truly confident, great, and certain I'm on the right path fitness-wise.

Chris's support goes far beyond the workout plan. His constant encouragement and support have been a massive help, especially when self-doubt creeps in. What really sets him and FitLab apart is the sheer depth of knowledge and passion he brings to the table, covering all areas of fitness and nutrition and making it simple, realistic and manageable whilst being flexible to manage work, social events and family. The level of expertise is always evident in discussions, weekly check-in, the valuable weekly podcasts, and the genuinely supportive FitLab community.

This morning, my son even joked about me getting a six pack—something I genuinely never thought would be possible in my 40s! I’m excited, motivated, and looking forward to continuing my transformation with FitLab to see what the next phase of this journey brings.

I’ve been going to the gym for over 11 years. Back then I was completely new to fitness and didn’t pay much attention to healthy eating. Over time I learned more about training and nutrition, but I still wasn’t seeing the results I wanted. I hovered around 90 kg for years and was technically overweight for my height.

I realised I needed proper guidance from someone who knew what they were doing, so I started working with Chris. From day one, his knowledge and confidence stood out. He told me we’d get me in the best shape of my life — and he was right.

When I started I was 93 kg, training three times a week and eating without much structure. Chris gave me a plan that made sense, taught me how to eat the right balance of protein, carbs and fats, and built everything around foods I actually enjoy.

My goal was simple: get down to 80 kg and finally see my abs. It wasn’t always easy, but the support and accountability every week made all the difference. Weekends used to be my downfall, but I learned how to stay consistent without feeling restricted.

Now, in my 40s, I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been. I have more energy, feel stronger, and don’t constantly feel tired anymore.

I’d recommend this coaching experience to anyone who wants real, lasting results. Chris genuinely knows his stuff, and I’d work with him again in a heartbeat.

Having followed Chris/Fitlab on Social media for a while and seeing the Transformations they'd achieved with people within my age range I decided to sign up in August 2024.
At this point I was weighing approximately 94kgs and considered myself being in fairly decent shape. I had always kept quite active and also teaching Group exercises classes in my spare time. So no stranger to fitness or the motivation to workout. I just knew I could do better but need that extra 'push' to achieve it.

This is exactly what I got from Chris/Fitlab.

At the initial consultation Chris took time to understand why I felt the need to contact him and explain the Fitlab Program and how it can be tailored to suit my (often busy) lifestyle.
He came up with workouts that can achieve maximum returns with the most basic of equipment and also not needing to spend hours in the gym.

The food plans were tailored and sustainable without feeling like you are having to restrict yourself. This part was the real eye opener to me, thinking you've been eating fairly well but then being shown how it can be improved.

Once underway with the program it was very easy to make progress as you have constant support at a level that suits you (as much or as little as you feel you need). It keeps you accountable and once the results start to show and your metrics start moving in the right direction you want to keep pushing.

There was planned photo-shoot which was about 3 months after I started and I wasn't planning on attending, but as they date approached and I could see I was achieving 'photo-shoot' condition It was the extra push needed to hit my target weight. 80kgs. Loss of approx 14kgs by doing 3-4 workouts a week, upping activity and sticking to meal plans. No crazy fads just basics to achieve sustainable results.

I stayed on-board with Fitlab to maximise the benefit of the program where they coach you through reverse dieting and muscle building phase. But more importantly they give you all the tools you need to maintain the physique/lifestyle for the long haul.

I wouldn't hesitate recommending Chris/Fitlab if you are looking for an on-line Transformation specialist. They do exactly what it says on the tin.

Thanks again Chris :-)

Wow. Where do I start. Simply put: FitLab has been life-changing.

I joined FitLab at a time when I was at my heaviest — feeling sluggish and out of shape, with a chubby face and a rounding belly.

I’ve always been into fitness, understood its benefits, even worked with PTs before, but I was never consistent or accountable. I knew a lot, but I didn’t really know how to apply it.

The first learning curve was truly understanding calories. It sounds simple, but once I started weighing my food and seeing how much I was really eating, I realised I didn’t know as much as I thought.

The next was simplicity. A clear, straightforward plan for both training and food worked so much better than overcomplicating things with unnecessary exercises or restrictive diets.

The biggest shift was consistency, which only came through accountability. That was possible because of two things:
1. Chris gave me complete confidence in his ability to deliver.
2. Most importantly, I trusted him fully.

That trust allowed me to immerse myself in the FitLab programme. Without it, I would never have achieved the results I did. Chris gave me his all, believed in me even when I didn’t, and because of that I was able to give it everything too. The proof is in the pudding — two shoots, with the second even better than the first.

Chris leads his coaching programme by walking the walk. Not just in his online presence, but in how he lives his own life. That authenticity shows in the content he creates and the way he coaches.

The results? Life-changing. Abs. Confidence. Strength. Mental clarity. Stress management. FitLab has improved every aspect of my life.

Chris — thank you!

I have been at FITLAB since August 2024 and seen some big changes along the way with so much more to come. In just over a year I have become both physically and mentally stronger, through a solid structure, a balanced routine and high accountability.

I have mainly worked with Chris throughout my time at FITLAB. Chris provides a great deal of information at any given time whether that would be nutritional, gym related, social events etc.
We also get a very in depth response from the weekly check ins allowing us to set our goals for the following week.

My goal started off by laying the foundations, getting the basics done weekly before I entered the process phase in which I dropped 9kg. I was very lean at this stage and Chris got me in a really good spot by getting in 3 full body workouts a week following by 2 runs. This allowed me to train more as a Hybrid. I am currently working towards the performance phase as I get back to maintenance calories in the peak phase, this will eventually allow me to put the calories to good use!

FITLAB is a way to get yourself in shape but also to stay in shape in all year round whilst still having a good social life👊

First of all I have been through many diets , boot camps etc and this was completely different. The support you get from the guys is immense ,
Whether it’s a pat on the back , a question or a kick up the backside . You get it all. I have been with Fitlab for over one year and I have lost over 35kg in that time. It’s been very structured but still allows some flexibility , plus you are not eating lettuce leaves all day. The experience has taught me so much about nutrition , truly accountable , you just cannot hide and if you do you are only kidding yourself. I even did a photo shoot with Fitlab and it was such a great experience, such so I am planning to do another next summer. You won’t regret using Fitlab, these guys know their stuff and get results.

So I got in contact with Chris a couple of months ago, as a lorry driver, I was unsatisfied with my appearance and my overall health.

I’ve been working with Alex for about 2 months now and the changes have been overwhelming. I’ve lost weight, got more toned.

They regularly keep in touch with me to keep me on track. They’ve taught me so much about nutrition and different ways of exercising that blew what I thought I knew out the water, and they did it with facts and figures

I regret not starting this sort of journey sooner in life, but they’ve made me fitter, faster, stronger and leaner than ive ever been

Could not recommend these guys anymore
