Personal Training in Battersea For People Who Struggle With Health & Fitness
If you have never got your exercise, food, or fitness plans to work for you then I can help.
No extreme workouts, no shouting, no starting again every few months.
With 20 years of experience I can adapt the approach to fit your exact background and needs.
I focus on creating long lasting results so this becomes a new way of life.
Getting Results
Most people don’t fail because they lack knowledge or discipline.
They fail because the plan doesn’t fit their lifestyle or personality. That’s what I fix.
I have been coaching since 2002 and have written 3 books on fitness & motivation.
My approach combines fitness training, nutrition and behavioural coaching so you don’t just get in shape, but you stay that way.
No exercise experience needed, you do not need to give up all bad food or drink, nor totally commit your life to it.

This is for you if:
– You feel stuck with your current levels of health & fitness
– Whatever you have tried before has never lasted.
– You feel lost, inconsistent, or don’t know where to start.
– You want results without feeling miserable or pressured.
– You want something that fits your lifestyle and your personality.
Who I work with
There is NO stereotypical person who is “right” to work with me.
– I have trained teenagers, yet my oldest client was 88 years old.
– Some clients are exercising for the first time in 25 years. It is guaranteed that you will not be the most unfit person I have seen. I have worked with recovering stroke patients and post-surgery rehab.
– I’ve helped so many people lose weight and keep it off, this ranges from over 10 stone (60 kg /140 Lbs) to clients looking to lose the last 2kg for their holiday.
– I have also seen some spectacular shifts with clients in both mental and physical health as well as their emotional relationship to food, their body and behaviours.
– Over the years, I’ve worked with every kind of person: 15-hour-a-day office workers, military personnel, stressed-out full-time parents, and aspiring national level athletes (Rugby, Lacrosse, Cycling, Flag Football.
Whatever your level, background, current or past struggles, there is always a way to move forwards from where you are now.

If this sounds right for you, message me on WhatsApp>> to discuss your goals or arrange a sample session.
How it Works –
-We usually start with a free sample session focused on where you are right now. A relaxed meet up where we discuss your goals, perhaps do some exercise look at what has been getting in the way and see if it feels like a good fit.
-From there, sessions are built around helping you move forward. A typical session combines exercise, problem solving, planning and building habits that will make things stick.
-Between sessions, I’ll make sure you are clear about what to do around food and exercise, and you can message me if things come up or have questions.
-There is also further support available with my follow along home workout videos and coaching resources if you want them.
My aim is to provide you with everything you need to get results in a way you can effortlessly sustain them long term.
Practical Details
The easiest way to understand how it all works is to meet for a free sample session or have a quick chat about your goals.
– Sessions are usually around 60 minutes, though shorter sessions are possible if needed.
– Location is mainly around Battersea Park, though I also train people in other parks, at home, or in private/work gyms where available.
– Times range from early morning through to evening. Some people train at the same time each week, others fit sessions around their schedule.
– Availability depends on location and schedule, so best to message and we’ll find something that works.
– Pricing and session structure are flexible. Some people pay per session, others book blocks, we can discuss what suits you.
– There’s no fixed commitment, some people only need a few sessions to get on track, others continue longer term.
Most people are surprised by how straightforward it is once we get started.

Ben Wilson – A Bit About Me
I have been a personal trainer since 2002. After doing a degree in Chemistry (Cardiff), I bounced around a few office jobs that I hated and a very dangerous chemical plant (see here>>). After this, I retrained to become a personal trainer and never looked back.
Books
I have written three books; –
– Rugby Fitness Training – A Twelve Month Conditioning Programme (2006)
– Change Your Thinking – Change Your Shape (2012)
– The Grand Unified Theory of Weight Loss (2021)

My Sports Background
I spent most of my life competing in Athletics (400m – 53.4 Pb) and playing Rugby (various clubs including Esher and London Welsh). Laterm, I shifted my focus to Fitness Model and Bodybuilding Physique shows. The photos below are from shows in 2014, 2019 and 2021.

Studying & Experience
After qualifying in personal training and sports massage, I’ve continued to build knowledge across exercise, nutrition, and behaviour change. I was the first trainer in the UK to combine Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) with exercise and nutrition.
I’ve worked with stroke rehabilitation, and I was the fitness coach for the Swedish Rugby team for a year.
I’m always learning in some way, then apply this knowledge it to real people with a variety of different challenges to hone my skills. A summary of areas I’ve studied is shown below.

My TV Appearances
I have been on various TV shows over the years, including the BBC Breakfast show, Channel 5 News and CNN. Some highlights of these can be seen below.
Current Fitness Focus
I now participate in Hyrox and other hybrid fitness events. I find these help you develop a braod fitness range compared to my bodybuilding days. I have done 7 Hyrox events in various countries. I also have a Friday night hybrid fitness group focused getting ready for these types of pursuits.

Travel
I have travelled to over 50 countries and lived in both Australia and Brazil. (Make your own map here>>)

Dogs
My dog Ajax was a chunky 50kg of Rottweiler. Sadly he died a few years ago, until I get a new one I am always trying to borrow other people’s dogs when I get the chance. If you have a dog then bring it down the park :). The photos below are a selection of client dogs who have come to stay with me.
Samba
After I came back from living in Brazil I started to perform in samba shows to keep that Brazilian connection. I was a member of London School of Samba and we did gigs at weddings, parades, parties and for TV.

Achieving Your Goals
I combine movement, mindset, and nutrition into a fully personalised process. Whether your goal is fat loss, pain reduction, or just feeling more in control, I help you develop habits that last — without restriction, shouting, or judgment.
The majority of people come to me with a mixture of goals. This usually involves some desire to desire to change your body shape (lose fat and/or gain muscle) and increase your fitness and energy. You may have some specific goals too such as improving an injury, developing your health or training for a specific fitness challenge or sport.
All of these goals can be achieved with time and focus if you approach it in the right way. To do this I will help you look into your Nutrition, Exercise and the motivational methods, looking not just at what plan to follow but also how to develop your habits and skills so that you act this way naturally going forwards.
The unique approach I use is not covered by any other trainer in the local area and is outlined in principle in my book The Grand Unified Theory of Weight Loss. For this reason I am able to get results with both motivated people and those who have always struggled with their health & fitness.
Nutrition – What do we cover?
– What to Eat – This varies between people and thus completely contradicting diets can work for different people e.g. paleo vs vegetarianism. The key is finding out what is ideal for you and your body.
– How Much to Eat Per Meal – he ratios of protein to carbs to fat. It is closely related to food cravings and overeating. Your body gives feedback on this issue every time you eat. (reactions within 2 hours). Most people have not been trained to use these
– How Much to Eat Per Day – Normally this is resolved by your ratios above. This element determines your ability to lose fat, optimize health while maximising sports performance or muscle mass.
– Certain Foods to Reduce (‘Avoid’) – While many foods can be avoided the primary concern is that of sensitive foods, those that should be healthy but annoy your body in one way or another thus causing you to store fat or for health issues to worsen
– Behaviours, Habits & Emotions around Eating – Dramatic long term change comes from establishing new natural behaviours and changing how you feel around many aspects of eating. This can be done much more easily than you would think and anyone can do it. However, this will not happen working with any trainer, infact, the typical trainers approach to nutrition creates the exact opposite effect : (

Nutrition – What it is NOT about?
– No Banned Foods – Any food can still be consumed on your plan during the process of achieving your goals. This means you can still drink, eat chocolate or sweets and have pasta, carbs or anything else you would like. The key is the thresholds and amount you consume over a weekly period. (You can get in amazing shape while still eating carbs, sugar, fat and consuming alcohol. I will show you how to do this)
– No Suffering & Restriction – Your nutrition routine is not about trying to minimise all taste and enjoyment. It is also NOT about being hungry or suffering big cravings. These are all signs things need to be changed a little, the ideal plan is not that hard to follow and easier than you would think. The key is the ability to follow it for longer durations because it is attainbale and sensible. This allows crazy results to happen.
– No Hiding Away From Friends or Restaurants – Inline with the above two principles, you can still socialise and eat out. Results do not have to be about living a miserable experience. It is all about balance and there are various ways you encompass a social life and eating out into your results process.
Note – It is a total lie and fallacy that results have to be a massive super human effort or one long depressing experience. Sadly, most trainers have not found the way out of this mindset which is why so many people struggle with your average PT.
***********
Exercise – What do we cover?
– The Four Areas of Exercise – I will help you implement and enjoy the different areas of exercise, which are aerobic, resistance (strength), core training and flexibility. Anyone can find a way to enjoy these and become good at them regardless of where you are now. If appropriate we may take a fitness appraisal which will cover all the exercise areas and allow us to identify your weaker areas.
– Genuine Strength Training – Most trainers now do some form of aerobic circuits or hiit, which is a mix of aerobic exercise and resistance training which is not true strength training. Almost no super strong people train like this and most trainers do not train themselves the same way they do their clients. We will do genuine strength or hypertrophy training based on your goals.
– Real World Fitness Development – My goal with your training is to make you a fitness machine in the real world and handle anything life has to throw at you. This is about tailoring your fitness to what the real world asks of you. This may be to keep you healthy in your 80’s or to target a specific sport or fitness challenge.
– Injury Rehab & Prevention – Most people start the training with at least one niggle or injury which can usually be resolved fairly qucikly. knowing about injury prevention and rehab is a very beneficial thing that everyone should have going forwards to live a health life.
– Habits, Skills & Feeling towards Exercise – Real world exercise success comes not from some super plan for the next 8 weeks but actually you developing the behaviour patterns to enjoy and feel confident exercising for the next 8 years. I will teach you how to do this, which is not that hard to do. Sadly the way most trainers promote and push exercise it does not develop your long term exercise habits, often doing the exact opposite : (

Exercise – What is is NOT about?
– No Shouting – I am not the kind of trainer who shouts at people, for this reason I was edited out of the TV show Fat and Back despite filming the whole series. There is no point shouting at you, I am here to change how you naturally want to behave round exercise, there is no place for shouting in that process.
– No Pain or Death like feelings – Despite what most trainers would have you believe, you do NOT need to brutally smash yourself to get really fit. Consistency over time produces spectacular results while pain and pushing it too hard destroys long term exercise adherence.
– No Army Training – Many of the things people hate about exercise approach stems from army training, which is as much about character development as it is fitness. I have never had a client do a burpee and we will not be crawling on the ground or similar.
Note – Exercise can be a really fun and an enjoyable experience whatever your current levels or previous experience. Despite what you may have learnt from PE at school or bad trainers in your past it is much easier than you would believe to get much fitter. The key is developing consistency over time which almost no other Personal Trainer teaches.
*********
The Stuff You Don’t Know About – What do we cover?
– How Real Change Happens – We now live in a world where almost no one believes they can lose weight or change how they act around health & fitness. This is completely wrong, you can achieve all your goals and way more than what you ever imagined possible. I am sure you would agree that you are able to develop bad habits and gain weight, if so, this means there is nothing wrong with your body or the habit development system. Therefore, if you can go in the ‘wrong’ direction, you can also turn it around to go in the ‘right direction. It is just no one understand how real change occurs and thus you do the wrong behaviours to get long term results. I know exactly what you need to do.
– The Power of Having a Trainer – There is a dynamism about working with another person focused on a specific goal. It is human nature to put in more effort when you are working with someone else than when on your own. You eat better, exercise more and are more motivated. My ability to clarify the right approach will make you much more effiicient. I feel that no one knows their true potential until they are in the right environment with the right plan. Very few personal trainers match the enviroment I create for my clients where it is safe, supportive and motivating yet does not come with any pressure of results nor strict rules of how you must act.
– Things You Never Knew You Needed – My book The Grand Unified Theory of Weight Loss covers every factor that could affect you or be needed during your journey to better health and fitness. This often leads you to do things that you never thought were the keys to taking the next step to get results. I am able to tell you directly what you need to do. This could be spending time developing a stress management tehnique rather than going for a run or perhaps researching a fitness challenge that would inspire you over resisting a piece of chocolate.
– How It Should Feel – The results process is often as much about unlearning what you know as it is about learning new things. Very often, the feelings you are used to or think you need to feel is NOT the actual way you should feel to get results. Likewise, you often do not have access to the needed feelings around health & fitness to achieve your goals. To develop these takes a certain approach that other Personal Trainer do not use.
The Stuff You Don’t Know – What it is NOT about!
– No Grinding Along on Willpower & Self-Discipline – Digging in deep and trying to summon all your will power and self disicpline from within is both outdated and unlikely to get your anywhere near your goals. Habits, natural behavioru patterns and emotions are what will carry you to success. To develop these takes much less willpower than you think. In my experience almost everyone has the needed discipline to achieve their goals, it is just they do not channel it in the right direction.
– No Denying Your Truth & Present Reality – Too often we try to deny our current behaviours, past actions and current present reality. My training meets you where you are at, I have had many clients join me at some stage of their addiction rehabilitation. I treat everyone as an individual and we start at the level appropriate for you without judgement or expecattions. When we start where you are currently at it is much easiert than you would think to make progress, everyone can make at least one small tiny step forwards.
– No Pre-Requisits or Expectations On Results – I do not come with any pre-requisits of what you must do on the programme, how you must act or what you must not do etc. I also do not demand you make changes at a certain speed or set unrealistic results. I am not about fast results, I am about long term, once in a lifetime tyle changes. Everyone is on their own journey and go at their own pace, I am merely a guide to help you along. Unlike most other trainers, I am patient, caring and will be here for as long as it takes, judgement free and supportive. We got this! : )
