A nice celebrity personal trainer plug for Ultimate Performance in today’s People newspaper.
One of my very best personal trainers, the indestructible and indefatigable Glenn Parker and myself have had the pleasure of late to work with former Footballers Wives / Casualty / and now Coronation Street bad boy (Nick Tilsley) Ben Price. Ben belies the TV star image we may have of a high profile actor, he is a very down to earth, straight talking man and has been an absolute dream to work with. When we get him following intense bouts of filming in Manchester, Ben returns to London to spend time with his young family and comes into our City of London personal training gym to be pulverised by the training machine that is Glenn Parker.

Because we only see Ben for short periods we can’t really do any fancy periodisation work and instead focus on blasting as hard as possible, radically depleting his muscles glycogen stores in combination with a pretty Spartan paleo style diet, and aiming for a rebound effect when he is forced to back off a bit when working on the Coronation Street set. I have devised some truly horrendous workouts and the one thing that Ben knows is that there is absolutely nowhere to hide when training with Glenn. The intensity that they generate even on the most mundane isolation type movements is frightening and I take my hat of to Ben for having the guts to train at the pace and relentless pressure set by Glenn. Think psyched up banshee on crystal meth and you have an idea. This is most definitely not your typical celebrity personal trainer workout of easy plaudits and minimal hard work. In only a handful of sessions there were noticeable differences in his physique and the wardrobe department were having to let out the arms and shoulders in his clothes! If we can get a good run of consistent training time with Ben we will see some amazing changes in his physique, there will literally be no choice but for his body to respond. As all Glenn’s other clients will attest, even a neutered dormouse will always get results working with Glenn!
