About Me

Connell Willis

I am a well rounded Personal Trainer who has consistently worked to develop my skills as a trainer.

I got involved in fitness over 30 years ago and started as an enthusiastic child in secondary school and I went on to reach my black belt in judo by the time I was 16. Later my enthusiasm for fitness transferred to my son who reached his black belt in Tae Kwan Do by the time he was eight and went on to reach his kickboxing black belt by the time he was 15.

Now armed with many years’ of experience, I have come to understand the importance of building trust, I have in-depth advice to achieve the a wide range of goals with my clients.
I have a particular interest in alternative training methods using bodyweight exercises that are designed and tailor-made for your fitness level.

Everybody that ran in the London Marathon ran at a different pace and time but they all got the same satisfaction from finishing regardless of where they placed. IT IS THE END RESULT THAT COUNTS, and I am the Trainer that can help you get to that finish line.

Testimonials

“I've had the please of training with Connell for six months; he is very professional - flexible and reliable - and very knowledgeable - providing tailored sessions and nutrition advice. Every session is different and set at a level of challenge appropriate for my current fitness level and aging body, and encourages me to push myself, combining weights and cardio. Happy to recommend to anybody of any fitness level and familiarity with the gym or older new starters or returners to the gym like me. ”

Jeremy S

“When I joined the gym, my goal was weight management, improved fitness and taking control of my diet and nutrition. I’ve been training with Connell since September 2021 and to this day benefit from Connell’s health and fitness expertise, driving me to reach incredible goals. I started slowly and gradually increased the intensity of my training regime. I now have the energy and stamina to take part in regular 5km and 10km runs as well as weekly strength training PT sessions. I’m the fittest I’ve been in 20 years and with his help I’ve lost 50kg and counting! ”

Maritn

“I decided to lose weight and lead a healthy lifestyle which led to working with Connell. After 6 weeks having Connell as my personal trainer I lost 11 kilograms. I come to the gym 3 times a week and have 1 PT session with Connell where we do various exercises, upper and lower body and a mixture of cardio. We do full body workouts. ”

“Connell is an inspirational personal trainer, who is actively working to push you harder each week with new routines that he has developed. you don't ever get into a rut of doing the same routines week after week, he is friendly and takes a clear interest in your goals and providesthe support you need to keep going and achieve them.”

“I started out as a complete beginner in the gym. Since training with Connell, I'm amazed at how much more confident I feel in the gym. He explains everything clearly, creates a really supportive environment, and always knows how to push you without ever making you feel out of your depth. My strength, technique, and overall comfort in the gym have improved massively. I'm genuinely grateful for his guidance and couldn't recommend him highly enough.”

“I have been having PT workouts with Connell since Sept 2024. I have been surprised and gratified at how much I have enjoyed our sessions. He keeps each workout fresh with new exercises, enthusiasm and gentle coaching. As a woman in her mid 70s I was worried that taking on weight training would be difficult and I would be an embarrassment. I wanted to strengthen my core and improve my balance. During the 15 months I have been working with Connell we have certainly achieved that. I love boxercise, a regular feature, using the smith bench and all the other exercises he has introduced me to. He gives bags of encouragement and builds your confidence whatever your age, size or weight. Connell is a friendly, kind human being who wants the best for his clients. I feel so much better about myself now. I have more energy, less stiffness and I feels so much stronger with more confidence as I head towards 75! ”
