Wynford Dedewo

Wellbeing Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

Change requires action; a committed health and fitness journey creates an opportunity to focus and regain balance. My approach to training is to optimise fitness goals and outcomes, improve performance and reduce possible injuries. Physical activity has always been prominent in my life, from playing rugby, sprinting, boxing, martial arts and weight training. 

Setting goals and pushing the body to meet those goals can be bittersweet. It's equally important to make sure that there's a balance between our mental and physical wellbeing. I have experience setting up and delivering weekly outdoor (bootcamp style) small group and 1-2-1 fitness programs, focusing on multiple areas of fitness:

  • Muscular endurance
  • Strength
  • Cardiovascular endurance

What my Clients say:

“Let’s just say, it was so much fun we were motivated enough to get up at 6:30 on a Saturday morning to attend Wyn’s super sessions!! A really great motivator all around, with an unbeatable personable approach. He knows how to mix up the sessions and challenges for the day, and assess when the next level is due. He puts a lot of pre-prep work in and goes that extra mile! Beware of the press up challenge!!” - Photini T

“Jordan was very good PT. He pushed when he needed to, but also listened to me if I was having doubts about what I was doing and why I needed to do a certain exercise. He is clear when giving instructions and why we were doing them, giving reasons as to why and what they would achieve in the long run. He was concerned about what I was eating and gave advice on what I should be eating. As a trainer, I think anyone being trained by him will definitely achieve any goals they have.” - Gillian
