The Coolest Frenchman in London - Thibault Pesque

By Nick Mitchell • Apr 18th, 2008 • Category: Biosignature, London

The coolest Frenchman in London may be a strange title for a blog focused on personal training, health, fitness and all matters pertaining to getting in shape, but bear with me as there is method to my madness.
The reason for this particular blog entry is because it is to praise one of my excessively over […]

The following is an excerpt from my London Personal Training Q&A Group on Facebook:
Q: The following is an article written by Adam Knowlden.  What do you think, Nick?
“The anaerobic energy pathways govern in large part the capacity for peak performance during supramaximal exercise. Within this framework, capacity, power, and the time continuum will be discussed. […]

Small Steps for Fat Loss and Exercise Success

By Nick Mitchell • Apr 4th, 2008 • Category: London, passion, personal training

I was reminded by a personal training client today that success in the gym, or with any fat loss or bodybuilding regime for that matter, is a matter of small incremental steps forward. Of course I already know this - no one who has built a physique of their own can help but know […]



Successful Personal Training Clients

By Nick Mitchell • Apr 2nd, 2008 • Category: London, personal training

Successful personal training clients all share one commonality.
Its not great genetics for fat loss or muscle building. Its certainly not starting fitness levels. And if it were nutritional savvy then I don’t think I would have ever had a solitary personal training success. In fact, given the paucity of nutritional know how here […]



Bodybuilding Personal Trainers

By Nick Mitchell • Mar 21st, 2008 • Category: London, bodybuilding, personal training

A constant theme of my life seems to be questions about what makes a good personal trainer. I am especially asked this of bodybuilder personal trainers - perhaps because the bodybuilder is a relative rarity in London so they stand out for scrutiny more, or perhaps even because some members of the public […]



Personal Trainers in London

By Nick Mitchell • Mar 19th, 2008 • Category: London, personal training

Calling all personal trainers in London!
It seems that there is a real shortage of good personal trainers in London these days. Try as we might to find the best trainers for our expanding business, we are struggling to find any really outstanding new candidates. Perhaps because I have always tried to […]

Many things have been written about London’s Muscleworks Gym.  Even more things have been said, and dare I say it, there have even been numerous whispers and rumours over the year.   I thought I’d take the opportunity this morning to set the record straight and clarify once and for all the legend that is Muscleworks.
At […]



Biosignature Modulation - personal training advice at its best!

By Nick Mitchell • Mar 3rd, 2008 • Category: Biosignature, London, bodybuilding, fat loss, personal training

I am increasingly being asked to perform Biosignature consultations on clients as wide and varied as professional bodybuilders through to middle aged housewives.  This is of course hugely pleasing for me as it demonstrates that great (no, make that spectacular)  results are more important in this business of personal training than any clever marketing plan […]
