Mark Hayward Personal Training- Aylesbury, Bucks- Boot Camps- Personal Training- Princes Risborough, Milton Keynes, High Wycombe, Winslow, Thame, Stone, Bierton, Dunstable, Beds- Mark Hayward Advanced Personal Trainer

I am a 39 year old personal trainer and Cardiac Exercise Specialist and have been training seriously since 1987. During this time I have had many ups and downs some of which you may be able to identify with; slowly gaining weight and then struggling to lose several stone, overtraining, not being able to gain weight then eating way too much- getting fat, spending large amounts of money on supplements that do nothing, becoming obsessive with exercise and diet at the expense of a happy life and many other things you might be able to relate to too!


Haytor, Dartmoor, August 2010

However for the last 10 years I have maintained my body fat between 8-10 %, weighing 88kg at 5-10, with no undue hunger, bench pressed twice my body weight and squatted 2 1/2 times, all without sacrificing my sanity, plus avoiding injuries.

There are literally thousands and thousands of personal trainers around, so choosing the right one can seem a little daunting. Most seem to be 20 year olds, who will proudly introduce themselves as ' hi I'm such and such and I'm a personal trainer'. The truth is all they have done is have their parents pay for a 2 month course with Premier Training, or some such. Is 2 months really enough? I don't think so and I'm sure you don't either. Sure this will have taught them the basics but at the end of the day experience is what counts and can't be bought.

I have many different fitness qualifications- Reps Level 4 (make sure your trainer is Level 4 Qualified or you are getting someone ineperienced!), advanced personal trainer, weight management, advanced nutrition, pilates, psychology, cardiac rehab and many more, but ultimately I have been there and done it; after all these years I still enjoy training, and my life is dedicated to helping others to help themselves- educating as well as training and motivating;, ultimately guiding them through the minefield that is the fitness industry and getting them the best results they possibly can, safely and in the shortest time.

Why Should I Want a Personal Trainer?

• Because you can get the results you want in a fraction of the time and for the same money you'd pay out for a year's membership at the gym.

• Gym's rip you off big time. They just want numbers through the door, most people end up paying even when they don't go (they call these thier ideal members!)- cancel and they will try to charge you. Does that sound like they are looking after your best interests or theirs?

• The staff they employ to help you are on a minimum wage- they really want quality for you don't they?!!! The best staff will just leave.

• Also to lose weight or gain muscle you have to train hard and I mean very hard- cross trainers and cycling will just not cut it- you simply have to run or jog or power walk outside for fat loss- I have trained people both in the gym and out and have seen this happen over and over again.

• Most people find it hard to push themselves like they need to- you either find a committed very hard working training partner- very hard to find- or a personal trainer who knows what they are doing.

• The cost of a trainer- who will show you how to train hard and what you are capable of, for even just a couple of months, will be what you'd pay for a years gym membership- you won't ever need to set foot in a gym again if you don't want to with the knowledge you will learn from me.

• You'd pay £30 a week for a night out or a meal- please don't doubt you'd want to spend this on looking great and getting fit; it makes little sense.

• I only train committed people with a hard work ethic- don't waste my time by getting in touch if you have neither of these qualities- if you are one of the few who do have them, then you can look forward to celebrating your new look and fitness in no time at all!!

• Most session will take place either at your home or outside in a park or open space.
• The workouts I use are a combination of cardiovascular and resistance work, they are very intense-depending on your fitness level- no messing around with gimmicks, straight to the point- no minute is wasted, giving you the best value for money around.
• Personal training workouts that take a boot camp format- sprinting, lunges, dips, abs , press ups, tabata squats etc. are very popular. They are hard work but get results quick!
• I use many different methods- according to fitness levels: whether what you want is weight loss, toning, muscle gain or reabilitation- and many varied types of training, a few examples of which are- concept 2 rowing machine model E, running, power walking, stepping, bands, weights, fit balls and boxing pad work.
• My home gym has olympic weights up to 300 kg as well as dumbells up to 90 kg, enough to challenge most lifters! I get many people wanting to improve their squat, bench press and deadlift who find the 1-2-1 training extremely helpful, if intense sometimes!

Fit Over 40

I have so many enquiries from over 40's, in particular women, I have created workouts aimed specifically at this age group (one at which weight loss can seem very stubborn sometimes!).

These metabolic boosting workouts can shed the pounds in no time!


Cardiac Rehabilitation

I am a memebr of the British Association For Cardiac Rehabilitation (BACR). This means I have been trained and assesed by cardiac doctors, who have deemed me competant in prescribing exercise for anyone who has had coronary heart disease.
Everyone is screened pre-workout and monitored through out, all according to the guidlines laid down by the doctors at the BACR. Seeing heart patients improving and getting back to good health has been the most rewarding part of my career so far; so many must be the most dedicated determined people around, and are a huge inspiration to all who encounter them, me included!
