Zarina Ivanova
“I have been training with Steve for nearly 3 years and have to say no other PT’s compare. He has given me confidence in doing complex movements such as deadlifts and squats, whilst carefully taking into consideration my nutrition alongside other health-related factors. The training programmes are always geared towards my personal goals and tailored to maximise efficiency in training. I highly recommend Drive Fitness”
Greg Locke
“Working with Steve was excellent, I can confidently say that he is one of the best trainers I have worked with and I've been in the industry for over 10 years.
I think what truly separates Steve from many of our peers is his attention to detail, he really is willing to go the extra mile for his clients.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Steve to my clients or friends and I can honestly not say that about many other personal trainers I know”
David Russell
Steve is a fantastic personal trainer - would highly recommend. My goal was to lose some weight for my wedding and to improve strength in the longer term, both of which I achieved.
Steve really built my confidence as it had been years since I'd last been to a gym. As I progressed and became more confident he updated my workouts, he provided comprehensive advice on nutrition and supplements, and did weekly videos based on my diet and exercise results for the previous week.
Overall I lost around 14kg in three months and built muscle all over, I honestly couldn't be happier with the results. He's really personable and encouraging and didn't make me feel silly once. I will be keeping up with weekly sessions for the foreseeable future.
Thank you Steve!

Took a punt on a free session with Steve, and I'm so glad I did.
Steve's knowledge and attention to detail is first class. He's broken down my routines, meals, supplements, lifestyle to give me a wholistic and accountable approach to achieving my goals.
The sessions themselves are unhurried, knowledgeable, motivating and enjoayble. I feel like I'm learning a lot throughout the session, and way more than I actually expected.
After each session there is a video run down, advice for solo sessions, and general feedback, which I found specific and helpful. There are easy to fill out recording for tracking and accountablility.
Honestly I wasn't sure how much a PT would benefit me, as I was a regular gym goer before, but Steve's sessions are worth every penny. Thanks Steve!

“I’ve been training with Steve for about 10 months now, focusing on both fat loss and muscle gain, while also learning proper gym technique to stay safe and injury-free long term. We've made amazing progress. I've gotten a lot stronger, dropped body fat, and most importantly, found a real love for the gym that I never had before.
Steve is genuinely invested in his clients. He goes way beyond what you’d expect from a PT, offering guidance on everything from diet and supplements to recovery and rest. He’s super motivational, incredibly patient, and always customises the plan to fit you, making changes whenever something doesn’t feel quite right. He is experienced and knowledgeable and always has an alternative in mind so you never have to push yourself through pain.
Unlike other trainers I’ve worked with, Steve gives you his full attention during every session. No distractions-just solid, focused support. I’m honestly so glad to be working with him. He’s taught me so much about my health and fitness, and I’d 100% recommend him to anyone”

“I’ve been with Steve for over 4 months now, having originally found and requesting a quote from him via Bark in August 2022. What initially drew me towards him was his level of expertise and experience.
Here is what I experienced with Steve in the last 4 months:
Punctuality and reliability:
Steve is rarely late for my sessions (and if he is, he tends to stay longer to make up for the time), which shows a level of professionalism and respect for my time that is rare to find within the fitness industry.
Customised workout plans:
Steve took the time to understand my specific fitness goals and created personalised workout plans which are refreshed according to my needs. He constantly adapted my workout plans according to my progress and my lifestyle (e.g., holidays, injuries or unexpected sickness).
Professional expert guidance:
Steve is highly knowledgeable and skilled in his field. He is always on-hand to offer me guidance on proper form and technique, whether during in-person sessions or via WhatsApp.
Food plan review and helpful nutrition tips:
Steve understands the important role that nutrition plays in achieving fitness goals. He reviewed my food plans frequently and provided tips to make sure I'm making healthy choices. Additionally, he is always willing to offer guidance regarding brand choices or additional supplements to get the best out of my workouts.
Overall, when working with Steve, you can expect to receive top-notch personal training from a professional who is deeply passionate about helping others achieve their fitness goals.”

“Steve is a great trainer, professional, personable and challenging. I would strongly recommend him to anyone as he personalises each training program for the individual and works through it systematically. A great guy!”
Marian
“Steve works wonders! He gives 100% attention to each client in every session. He listens carefully to his clients' goals and any concerns they may have. His experience and knowledge enable him to tailor the training plans to suit individual needs and also to suggest different ways to perform a movement to take into account differing body types, and the inevitable aches & pains of his "older" clients. I've trained with weights for many years & didn't think I could learn anything. In my very first session with Steve, not only did he point out more effective ways to perform the reps, he also explained why, which then made a lot of sense. Since then, he's corrected some sloppy habits that I'd fallen into over the years. He's the best”

I recently completed a 30-day programme with Steve, and I can honestly say it was excellent from start to finish. I had been going to the gym before, but working with him made all the difference. From the very beginning, he genuinely listened — to where I was struggling, what my goals were, and what I needed — and he tailored absolutely everything to me.
He created an amazing workout plan, completely personalised to my goals, and refined my workout split. He added new movements, showed me how to properly warm up, and corrected my form on literally everything. Steve will take you through the entire process from A to Z. I was honestly so pleasantly surprised by how thorough and tailored the plan was!!
He also helped me refine my nutrition and supplement intake. I feel like I’ve learnt so much in just one month, and the base I’ve built with him is something I know will help me take my progress to the next level.
One of the biggest changes was my confidence — especially in the free weights area. I’m no longer afraid to go lift heavier or try new exercises. He showed me that I’m stronger than I think and truly empowered me. 💪🏻
On top of all that, Steve is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and professional — and you’ll always have a good laugh during sessions. Every workout with him was a boost of energy and confidence.
I couldn’t recommend Steve enough!! Whether you’re just starting your gym journey or want to correct certain things and level up, he is the one. Working with him has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my fitness.
Derek Barnard
“I’ve been working with Steve for the past 18 months, and the experience has been nothing short of transformative. From the very beginning, he designed a personalized training program that was both challenging and sustainable. Each session was thoughtfully structured to match my goals and abilities, with clear progression that kept me engaged and constantly improving.
What truly sets Steve apart is a holistic approach, especially when it comes to nutrition. He didn’t just hand me a generic meal plan — instead, Steve took the time to understand my lifestyle, preferences, and any dietary restrictions. The guidance he provided was realistic, flexible, and most importantly, effective. I've learned how to fuel my body properly without feeling deprived.
Perhaps the most impactful part of working with Steve is his constant motivation and encouragement. Whether it's a tough workout day or a small setback, he always knows exactly what to say to keep me going. It’s clear that Steve genuinely cares about his clients’ progress — both physically and mentally.
Thanks to Steve, I not only feel stronger and healthier, but also more confident and motivated than ever before. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to make a real, lasting change in their fitness journey..”

“I used to do Olympic weightlifting but my back has been flaring up because of an old injury. I don’t want to stop training so I’ve decided to do powerlifting for the time being.
Steve has helped tremendously by giving me tips on my deadlifts, squat and bench techniques, as well as how to use the machines to maximise gainzzz . He is professional, knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. My bench and upper body strength has improved a lot since I’ve started with him and my deadlift form is more solid as well! Plus I’ve done some boxing sessions with him and it was really fun (even for a semi-uncoordinated person like me…)
I would most definitely recommend Steve as a personal trainer/ strength coach/ boxing coach”
Cindy Liu
“Started sessions with Steve for a year and unfortunately need to pause cuz I’m moving to another country for work purpose. Steve was a very helpful, great coach I’ve ever had met and he is a very good listener 🥰
Fun sessions (not when he added weight) great talkings (not when he said one more set)
Anyway… I really miss him tho! Wish I could go back to London”

“Great personal trainer, really knows his stuff and is easy to get along with.”
