Last January I asked Greg for some help to get into better shape for my wedding. There was 6 months to go until my big day, but I was conscious that I wanted to tone up and lose weight before my dress fittings. Greg was great from the outset, fitting me into his busy schedule, and not only helping me with my work in the gym but also improving my diet. He was a great motivator, and within only a few weeks I could really notice a difference. On my wedding day I felt amazing in my dress, and I know that working with Greg was a huge part of that and I can’t recommend him highly enough!

Training with Greg has not only been very effective for me it also showed me a more enjoyable approach to spent my time in the gym. After doing ineffective and uncoordinated exercises on the machines Greg approached me at a time when I was already looking for a personal trainer. He analysed my training and diet and developed an individual training plan and made recommendations how my diet can support my efforts. The training was not only effective but also fun. After a certain period I became confident enough to train without supervision. Now my workouts consist of programs built from his webpage under his initial supervision and his role from PT has changed to mentor which suits me perfectly

In total I have lost 48 lbs in 4 months and dropped 4 dress sizes, now a size 8!! All down to training with Greg Mikolap who used www.ptfolder.com to devise my 3 week programme plans. These programmes are great because they have pictures and video’s and if you are anything like me it is difficult to get the technique exactly right without either of these and trust me technique is important otherwise you could do the same workout for months without result but with injury!
In terms of technique he is spot on and also has a wealth of knowledge, in training, nutrition, and physiotherapy. If he doesn’t know about a subject his curiosity drives him to go and research on it and to understand it to a degree that he can explain it correctly to his clients.
In terms of the changes this weight loss has made to my lifestyle, where should I begin, I am a mother of three young children and now have more energy than ever to entertain them, a happy me equals a happy mummy, wife, employee and person :) I am confident, a lot more social and now more than ever keen to try out different things.
I have trained with other trainers but none have achieved results like this - I do have to add that mentally you have to want to do it!

Training with Greg has given me great results and to date I have lost almost 18 lbs, which I could never have imagined doing on my own. Greg has ensured that this has been a fun and easy process and his programmes from PTFolder have been a fantastic tool for me between training sessions, allowing me to keep training on my own. He has also advised me on diet and nutrition and this has helped make a big difference to my weight loss. I'm thrilled with the results and my husband says I'm like a new woman!

I have trained with Greg once a week for the last 2 years. While a regular gym attender, I knew I was not reaching my potential nor pushing myself enough. I enjoy every session as it is varied, different and he explains issues well. He is in a different league to most personal trainers as he is very knowledgeable and continues to read and learn himself, and implements new ideas regularly. We chat about nutrition and food too which is helpful.

When I hit my mid-twenties, I was adamant I wanted to get healthier and start looking after myself better. After many failed attempts at joining gyms, attending a couple of mediocre classes, swapping from gym routine to gym routine, I took the decision to hire a personal trainer - possible the best decision I have ever made!
Greg is patient, supportive, dedicated and committed. He listens to what you what and explains exactly how you can reach your goal - nothing is unrealistic or impossible. Be under no illusion that working with Greg is easy; he works you hard and pushes you to the limit. That said, he has an uncanny ability of knowing exactly how far he can push you, usually far beyond the limits you set yourself. I never once imagined I would be lifting weights 20 - 30kgs over my body weight.
I managed to sculpt and change my body shape, increase my muscle strength, bulk up and then tone, all under Greg’s careful tutelage. He is extremely knowledgeable and willing to share what he knows in terms of physiotherapy, nutrition, best practices, all with the aim of ensuring you get the most out of your sessions.
I feel extremely lucky to have worked with Greg and would recommend his services wholeheartedly to anyone who is interested in personal training!

He ranks amongst the best. His technical knowledge is unsurpassed and up to date. He challenges and motivates, mixing a structured approach with a cool fun side! His exercises and instructions are always underlined with special consideration to posture.
Through developing a programme for me to follow in between sessions, dietary advice and food diaries, he looks way beyond our one hour sessions and advises on a whole lifestyle approach that considers both diet and appropriate training outside our PT sessions.
Consequently, he has changed my approach to my nutrition and training style and reinvigorated my motivation and confidence - Thank you Greg!
For anyone who has any doubts about the benefits of personal training – I would recommend you to try Greg. He represents what personal training really should be about.

If you're serious about wanting to change your life - Greg is the man to work with. I’d had 5 trainers before I started working with Greg and 18 months later, I wouldn't want to change from him. His firm, challenging yet totally supportive & individually tailored approach has helped me to completely transform my life. Not only have I lost more weight and inches than I ever imagined was possible, I have gained a huge amount of confidence and achieved a greater level of fitness than I've had at any stage in my 46 years! My personal/work life has changed beyond recognition and I still look forward to what programme he has for me each week - never unachievable, but definitely challenging. Should you see if his approach and expertise can work for you too? - YES!!!
