“Following treatment & recovery from cancer and a depleted immune system I needed help to regain strength & stability. I had tried gyms previously but been unable to sustain interest. A friend strongly recommended I go & see Ted. I am so glad that I did. I have been going for over a year and I have made amazing progress, with my safe 30 minute sessions. Ted is a genuine, experienced & very knowledgeable trainer. The facilities and equipment are excellent. I can strongly recommend Ted.”

“Vital Exercise has helped improve my overall fitness, and helped me change my body shape. Exercise with such a lovely, friendly couple is fun but they always manage to get that extra bit out of you! They have been amazing at finding a range of exercises to suit me.”

“I have been weight training since I was 14-years old. I have now been with Ted for 2-years and am now 52. These have been the most productive and the best training I have ever done. I am in better shape now than I was when I was in the army 32 years ago. If you want it Ted will show you the way. I cannot recommend him highly enough. A highly experienced trainer who also trains hard himself.”

“I have been training with Ted for almost 2 years and have seen a sustained improvement in my fitness levels and stamina. The equipment and gym setting are of high quality and there is a welcoming feel - ideal for anyone who may be overwhelmed or embarrassed walking into a larger gym. These guys do a great job and I can full recommend them - personable, enthusiastic, motivating with a huge amount of knowledge, expertise and empathy. What’s not to like?”

“I have trained with Ted for, coming up, 3 years now; I’ve loved every session. I previously did a lot of cross training & weights, which caused me problems with my back that would prevent me from training; however, since training with Ted I can honestly say I have not ONCE suffered with my back which seems like a miracle! I have gone from strength to strength with Ted’s huge amount of expertise & experience, I’ve never enjoyed training so much.”

“As all of you know I’ve been on a fitness journey since July. I was fed up with looking and feeling the way I did. The menopause robbed me of ME. The symptoms were vile. My husband found me in floods of tears one day I told him I hated the way I looked and felt, none of my clothes fitted me, I hated me. He went to Vital Exercise in Brantham and spoke to Ted & Lorraine and asked them to help me. I won’t lie it’s been hard, but I can honestly say I’ve never dreaded going to the gym I eat in moderation what I want but still stay on a protein diet the majority of the time. I feel fantastic I really do, to all of you that is struggling with whatever life has thrown at you, a good diet and a couple of sessions a week at a gym can work miracles.... I am proof of that.
I am so happy.”

“I have exercised with Ted almost every week for the past two and a half years. I have enjoyed the experience and I am fitter and stronger as a result. During that time I have had two hip replacements and due to the continuous support of Ted, neither of the operations affected my way of life. As a 75-year old, my time at Vital has enabled me to continue my cycling, walking & playing golf. I enjoy the company of Ted & Lorraine and I intend to continue my weekly training with them for many years to come.”

“This is not the first time I have asked Vital Exercise to sort my life out, and I am never disappointed.
Within weeks I see the difference, not just in body, but in mind. No matter what results you want, they know your body better than you do. These guys truly know their stuff.”
— JAMES MORRISON
“Ted’s workouts are hard core, varied and most importantly great fun. I like that the sessions are intense and short, it enables me to fit training into my busy lifestyle in the most effective way. Since training with Ted I am not only physically stronger and in better condition, but mentally too. ”
— N.W.
“With Ted’s choice of high quality exercise equipment, decades of experience and the training environment he has worked hard to create, amazing results are a given. If you are willing to put in the effort, under Ted’s guidance, you will have the finest workouts money can buy, whatever your personal goals. For me, Vital Exercise is the gold standard in private exercise instruction.”
