What my Clients say:

“After years of overeating and living a sedentary lifestyle, Joseph was able to give me the confidence and guidance on my fitness journey. While getting me to lose weight, he was able to pass on his passion and knowledge for fitness. He not only helped me to achieve my goals but made sure I had a fun and safe time doing it. Very adaptive with his exercise programming, helping me to progress quickly while avoiding injuries and plateauing along the way. Great guy and a great trainer whose passion and knowledge makes a big difference.”

Ayda Capinoglu

Senior Personal Trainer

How can I help you improve your health?

As a Personal Trainer I love incorporating functional training, HIIT and core into my workouts to create well-balanced, challenging, and fun workouts. I am always fully invested in helping my clients achieve their goals, supporting, guiding, and motivating them throughout their fitness journey.

Do you need help with training with good form and technique? Are you interested in fat loss? Maybe you’re looking to build lean muscle or perhaps you’re training for your next sporting event? Whatever your goal, I’m here to help you get there.

My qualifications

  • Sports and Exercise Nutrition MSc
  • CIMSPA Level 3 Personal Trainer (Exercise Referral)
  • Circuit Training
  • Kettlebells

What my Clients say:

“Ayda is one of the most professional people I have ever met. I came to her utterly averse to gym workouts, not able to focus on them and she was able to take my personal interests and combine those with the work outs so that in a few weeks I was able to focus with ease.

Her professional manner and diligence make it easy for you to see your actual physical potential and make sure that the gym session is about you and your goals rather than having to deal with the emotionally challenging aspect of working out. I would recommend Ayda to people with both complex and general goals; I am sure that her creative and mentally stimulating workouts will really add to your week!"
