Client stories

Real people. Real results. Plenty of laughing.

I hadn't done any exercise since the second Covid-19 lockdown. I'd lost all motivation and as a result I'd put on weight and lost confidence. I joined the gym purely because I wanted to look and feel my best for my daughter's wedding. I gave myself 9 months to tone up, get fitter, stronger and shed some, if not all, the weight but with Raja's help and expertise I achieved my goals in 6. I've lost all the weight I'd put on, am so much stronger and have much more energy. I feel better than I have in years, both physically and emotionally. Raja makes training fun (we laugh a lot), he's patient and helpful. He listens and tailors our sessions to suit me. If you don't get on with an exercise or just don't like it, he knows another one that works the same muscle group and we go with that instead. Raja is very good at what he does. I would highly recommend him whatever fitness goals you want to achieve. Sue G.

Her goal was 9 months, in time for her daughter's wedding. She got there 3 months early.

"Huge recommendation and thank youuuuu to @rajafarrukh_pt … I'm smiling after years of feeling uncomfortable in my own skin is all down to this guy for making things fun, adaptable and putting up with me moaning about how weak I am."Charlotte D.
Derek
"He encourages me to train outside my comfort zone by installing a vein of confidence in me, and a 'I can do it' approach. Raja is the type of PT that supports you while making sure you push yourself."Derek H.

"As a gym novice trying to get back into exercise, I was quite nervous about starting weights, but he's been really supportive and knowledgeable. He's helped me understand the basics, build confidence using the equipment, and made the whole experience feel far less intimidating."

Laura H.

"Raja was approachable, knowledgeable and it was really easy to describe my goals and concerns, which were incorporated into my plan. PT sessions have been hard work and great fun with loads of encouragement!"

Amy G.

"I live in Rotherham but travel all the way to Sheffield because of my trainer and the great atmosphere."

About me

Hi, I'm Raja

I'm a personal trainer based at Firehouse in Sheffield, and I coach online too. Most of my clients come to me feeling unsure in the gym. My job is to take the guesswork out: a clear plan, proper technique, and someone in your corner who explains the why.

Sessions are hard work, but they're fun. If you don't get on with an exercise, there's always another one that does the same job.

Questions

Before you book

How much does it cost?

It depends on how often you want to train and whether that's in person, online or both. I'll go through the options at the end of your free consult, and there's no pressure to sign up on the day.

I've never really been to a gym. Is that OK?

That's who I work with most. We start with the basics and build up at your pace.

I have a health condition or an injury

Tell me about it when you book. I'm qualified in GP exercise referral, and for some conditions I'll ask you to check with your GP before we start. Your health details stay private and are only used to plan your training safely.

I'm busy. How much time does it take?

Less than you think. Two solid sessions a week moves the needle, and I'll give you a 10-minute fallback for the weeks life gets in the way.

What if I hate an exercise?

Then we swap it. There's always another exercise that trains the same muscles, so you never have to grind through something you dread.

How does online coaching work?

Your plan lives in the Everfit app with videos for every exercise. You log your sessions, check in each week, and I adjust the plan and reply with feedback.
