Very professional and great results.

The Hall Training team are excellent: professional, friendly, motivating and 100% dedicated to getting all their clients reaching their goals. I train with Becky, who is fantastic!

The training programmes are unique to each client's needs and goals and they are really regularly updated both to keep things interesting and to keep progressing. The nutrition guidance can be a really useful bolt-on to assist whole life-style improvements as well as being inspired to have a a happy and successful relationship with exercise.

I can't recommend Hall Training Systems enough. I love my sessions with Becky and I love how strong, healthy and happy I am in general as a result of them!

Pete is a great PT

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.

Brilliant 'personal' Personal Training

I first started training with Chris and Hall Training Systems around a year ago the changes that I have seen have been remarkable.

For anyone contemplating working with a trainer or who finds the prospect of a gym intimidating, I cannot recommend Hall Training Systems enough. Chris is incredibly friendly and immediately put me at ease, discussing what my goals were and creating a tailor-made exercise and nutrition programme.

In the gym Chris is encouraging and capable of getting the best out of whomever he is working with, on top of possessing a seemingly encyclopaedic knowledge of exercises! I have also had the pleasure of being able to train with Becky during my time with them, and found her to be equally approachable, motivating and knowledgeable. Outside of the gym, the tailor-made nutrition plans and support have been crucial to the successes I have seen.

If you're wondering whether exercise is "for you", or looking for a professional and complete personal training service, I couldn't recommend Chris and Hall Training Systems highly enough, I'm looking forward to working with them for some time to come!

Professional and personable personal trainer

My experience with Chris and his team has been great throughout.It started with a professional assessment. We discussed my goals as well as established my fitness level at the time. Since then Chris has managed to challenge me in the best way possible in every session. He is great at motivating people and very knowledgable in what he does. My training sessions never get boring because he changes the program regularly and makes sure I keep being challenged by my workouts. Outside the gym he’s also proven a great resource. His understanding of nutrition and his ability to communicate concisely and clearly have helped me immensely. It’s in large part because of this combination of great person and outstanding expertise that I have managed to make leaps towards my goals. In working with Chris for one year, for example, I have more than halved my body fat percentage.

Exceptional knowledge of his field

I'm really glad I found Chris first when I was looking for a helping hand to start weight training.
I'd tried numerous times to start lifting, but I couldn't tell if I was making progress or just doing it wrong. Chris really helped me with that, he shares his knowledge with you as you train so you know what you're training and know what you're supposed to feel while you're training it, which makes it really engaging during the sessions and allows for a sense of independence when training on your own.
I'm stronger now than I have ever been and I know much more about myself and my diet than I did 10 months ago.

He's excellent at what he does and does exactly what he says he will.

Hey Seb, thank you so much. I have to admit if I cast my mind back when we first met and that first gym session, you've come on so far!
You're now aware of where your body lies and the muscles you're supposed to be feeling/working when performing certain exercises; it's great to see how far you've progressed and it's been a pleasure working with you to achieve this!

Best PT service

I've been training with Chris for several months now and I've had an amazing experience. His depth of knowledge is scarily impressive and he's able to answer all random fitness related questions you can throw at him. After the initial assessment in which individual weaknesses are assessed, Chris develops a plan based on your needs and aims, updating this every few months. He's enthusiastic whether you want to lose weight or build strength and provides an incredible support base through the use of an online community which allows members to advise each other and share information and motivation. Hall Training Systems has been the best service of its kind I have ever experienced, and I wouldn't expect to find a trainer with the same dedication and enthusiasm with years of searching :) thanks Chris!

Hi Angharad and thank you so much for this glowing review; I really appreciate it! Our time training together has been fantastic and it's been great watching you develop over the course of it. You've really done incredibly well and I continue to look forward to training you remotely.
You've got great potential when it comes to increasing strength and thoroughly look forward to seeing what you're truly capable of.
Best of luck in Mexico.

All the best.

Personalized and effective training

I was training with Pete for a relatively short period of time, however, in just one month I could feel and see the results, which was the aim. I found the service very personalized (got my own diet and exercise schedule, which helped me to achieve what I was aiming for). Also huge advantage Pete and the team were always there for me in case I had questions; the schedule was flexible, which was also great. Really recommend Hall Training Systems

Amazing Training Experience!

Amazing training experience! Chris and his team are the best!

I came from China and wanted to change my lifestyle. I never kept to training more than one month as I felt it was boring, just did not like it. I was lucky to stumble across Hall Training and to meet Chris. He is such a professional trainer and so good at communicating. He encouraged me, explored my potential, fully communicating with me. He designed very varied sessions to keep me fully interested and fresh. The most important thing is after training with Chris, I become much more confident with myself and I believe I can do it. Over the course of 4 months I made impressive progress and the results are fantastic! I would like to say thank to Chris and everyone at Hall Traning Systems you are the best!

Hey Grace and thank you for your review, much appreciated it.
I believe you've done incredibly well with the jumps in strength increases that have been observed over the last 2-3 months. You managed to push yourself in each and every session and that shows in the progress you've made up to now. I mean, you only need to take your goblet squat weight to see how well you've done!

Training you has been a pleasure and I cannot wait to help you to continue to make great progressions in your strength once you return back from China.

Have a super time away,

The Hall Training Team!

Five Star Personal Training Service

I am lucky enough to have been with Hall Training Systems for many years and have always thoroughly enjoyed every session. The training programs are always tailored to my specific goals and the team are always supportive in helping me achieve these. Hall Training Systems also offers expertise and guidance with nutrition which has helped me significantly. They always ensure I'm getting the most out of every exercise and have helped me feel more confident in the gym, particularly in the weights section. I've trained with Chris, Becky and currently with Pete and the quality of training is always brilliant. I highly recommend Chris and his team.

Great Experience

I went to Hall Training Systems for work experience and I had a great time. Great people to be around, friendly atmosphere. I learnt a lot over the 3 days I was there and it gave me a great insight of the life of a personal trainer. I would recommend Hall Training Systems to anyone.

I'm very impressed indeed!

I've had personal training previously but moved to the area for my job. In doing so was keen to hire a new trainer to help me continue on. I did some research of the trainers around the area and Hall Training Systems certainly stood out and initially impressed me with everything they stood for and offered. Well, I can certainly say they didn't disappoint and certainly impressed me. They delivered at every level and went above and beyond anything I've previously experienced from other trainers. Their attention to detail, knowledge, application and general approach is like no other and in all honestly I cannot rate them highly enough.

If you're looking for a trainer, then I would certainly recommend Chris and his team. I've done my research and can save you the time by saying; the guys behind the 'Hall Training Team' are fantastic!

Thank you so much.

Brilliant!

I intended to train with Chris only for 10 weeks in the lead up to a holiday but was so happy with the results that he helped me achieve that I've decided to keep going. The nutritional advice was particularly helpful for me - I've tried several meal plans/diets/counting macros before and have given up every time, but Chris devised a programme and made it really easy for me to understand and to follow. He also explains why he's chosen certain exercises, why it's important to eat more/less of certain foods so I've actually learned a lot rather than just going through the motions. I'm lighter and leaner than I've been in years, and now have a much healthier lifestyle!

Fantastic personal trainer

Chris is great to train with, and offers an incredibly comprehensive service - I've been with other personal trainers previously and none are quite as thorough/personalised as the approach Chris takes with his training, dietary and nutritional advice, and creativity with fitness/routine planning.

Definitely worth trying out!

Excellent training from Becky at Hall Training Systems

My first experience of trying personal training has been excellent! I’m very impressed with Hall Training Systems, and with Becky as my trainer. Becky was encouraging and patient and great at explaining the exercises. Chris’ advice on nutrition was very helpful without making me feel too pressured.

Over the past six months I’ve improved my strength and stamina, and managed to lose weight for the first time in 20 years! I also feel much more confident now about going into a gym to supplement Becky's training sessions with workouts on my own. Very highly recommended!

Best personal training service in Oxford by far!

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.
