"Back training after a 6 month break - knee surgery and lockdown! Tony tailors my sessions to help manage my arthritis and knee pain and keep me moving. Never thought I'd miss working out so much. So happy to be back."

"Historically I've restricted myself too much and then failed. I've never dieted on such a high calorie limit, which massively helped me stay on track. Thank you Tony McDonnell for all your help."

"Tony got me fit for skiing and it made such a difference that I continued training with him...Tony never judges and will adapt the training routine if there has been a gap. His intention is always for me to improve and enjoy fitness the same way he does.

He focuses on strength and core training for me and pushes me to achieve more in each session. I thought he'd be a scary scouser who'd shout at me like those horrible boot-camp trainers but he doesn't and is more likely to make you laugh whilst urging you on. He doesn't take any nonsense but he listens if you're not having a good day. His attitude makes me want to return to each session and do well, for both of us. He is one of life's good guys!"

"I've known Tony for over 2 years. When I first started working with Tony I weighed 20 stone. I know weigh 16 stone. I have had personal trainers before, but none have been able to achieve results like Tony. With Tony it's not just about getting fit and losing weight, but embracing a new lifestyle. It's about eating properly so you lose fat, but not the lean fat. So NO CRASH DIETS!! It hasn't been easy, but with Tony's leadership and inspiration I am now fitter, healthier and happier than I have ever been and without Tony's motivation I would never have achieved these great results. I can't recommend him highly enough."

"I was a complete beginner to fitness and I have trained with Tony 3 times a week for 2 years and seeing great results.

Tony is an excellent PT who discusses realistic goals and makes sure you put in effort during sessions.

As someone not very interested in fitness or sports, Tony has made me enjoy exercise and a healthier lifestyle including my diet.

Tony is very strict during sessions and serious about your health, while being incredibly supportive.

I'd strongly recommend Tony to friends and family looking to get fit."

"Since meeting Tony he's completely changed my outlook on my fitness & overall health. I've learnt it's about so much more than the number on the scales. He's pushed me out my comfort zone from the start, both physically and mentally, and continues to do so.

How is Tony different to other personal trainers I've had in the past? He genuinely cares about my progress & is always available to answer questions & provide support."

"I am someone who has never enjoyed exercise but Tony makes each session fun and I am amazed at how much progress I have made. Tony is extremely knowledgeable and really cares about his clients A fantastic PT who I highly recommend."

"If you're looking for a lifestyle change, you want to loose or you just want to improve your fitness then I highly recommend Tony. He's always at the end of the phone or text to help you or answer any questions you may have.

If you struggle with what food to eat or balancing your calories then Tony can even provide you with a 7 day meal plan. This has definitely worked for me, don't even have to think about what I'm having for dinner!

I'm starting to see the results, lost weight and inches and can see a change in body shape. The only thing I regret is not starting this journey sooner!"

"We would highly recommend Tony. He is a very motivational man, with a wicked sense of humour, which comes in handy when you are struggling to push through the last of the exercises!

The quality we love is that he listens to his clients. We say what we like (& dislike!) & he incorporates that into the workout. He wants you motivated & doing your best to help achieve results. Not to force you into doing something you don't want to do, putting you off exercise.

He is candid in his advice (no sugar coating) which is what people need to hear. The message is simple, exercise & eating sensibly. If you don't do, it won't work. Down to the client to apply.

Tony has been amazing in lock down, being as supportive as he can & adapting his business model to enable him to keep supporting his client base. To top it all, he's genuinely a decent nice guy (just a shame he supports Liverpool!)"
