My name is Keith Grainger and I am the owner of Custom Fitness. I began lifting originally for injury recovery. Starting to lift weights coincided with a difficult time in my life, and I found that overcoming challenges in the gym helped me overcome challenges in life outside the gym. I had long held a goal to help as many people as possible to be happier in themselves, but I didn’t know what form that would take. When I studied personal training I began to see the ripple effect that good coaching could have on someone's whole life and I knew this was the vehicle for me to achieve my goal Since then I have coached all kinds of clients to many different goals including fat loss, strength gain, muscle gain, rehab, and more!

Custom Fitness: Opinions

4.9/5 (67 Opinions)
Yolanda Pujol-McCabe 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I started working with Keith seven months ago. I had never avail of any coaching services so I didn’t know what to expect, or if it would be for me. The main reason I decided working with Keith was due to medical issues, I needed to increase my bone density and my doctor advised to start strength training / weight lifting. From our first consultation via Zoom, I knew he was a good fit for me. Keith is a very easy person to speak to, very knowledgeable and with a large of number years of experience. Keith reinforced the message received from my doctor, strength training is an activity that I would need to introduce in my life and maintain for years to come. I was very upfront with Keith from day one, when in the gym I would always shy away from weight lifting and prioritise cardio classes instead, so I was not looking forward to it. Over the last few months, I have learned to enjoy weight lifting and these days, believe it or not, I actually look forward to hitting the gym 4 times a week for approx 50-60 minutes. His model puts emphasis on individual ownership / discipline. I was given a very detailed training plan, with exercises I had to do, including reference material (videos) to check whenever I wanted/needed. My responsibility was to get the gym, train and record how much weight I had lifted, how many reps I had one and how many sets. Once a week (or more often if needed), we would discuss how the prior week went, and what I need it to do the following week to make it even better (i.e. stretch arm fully on the way down, squat lower by going wider, hinge my hips to stretch the back of my legs, add another kg or two, invest on wrist supports, etc…) I would then go back to the gym and apply Keith‘s recommendations, record a little video of myself performing the exercise and email it to him for additional feedback. Keith coaching model has worked very well for me, as it has given me flexibility to train at a time to suits me (work is very demanding), while knowing that he was there for me whenever I needed as many times I needed. I strongly believe his coaching methodology gives you all the necessary tools (confidence, motivation, technique, discipline) to make this life journey a full success. I’m also very grateful to Keith for sharing with me his knowledge on nutrition, as there were a good few things that I needed to change on that front too. To be upfront with you, my main goal was bone density rather than achieving a target weight. Keith thought me that in order to achieve my goal I would have to increase the amount of protein intake. I was a bit apprehensive to say the least, as I always thought that protein powders were for body builders, however I have to admit I was wrong. With Keith’s help I have increased my protein intake gradually over the last few months and learnt to make smarter choices when it comes to food (at home or out and about). In a nutshell, over the past seven months I have toned and at the same time lost weight. I’m walking taller, I’m in a better mood (I don’t seem to fly off the handle as much), I’m lighter, and I have a spring on my step (I had lost that); and now I feel like a new version of myself! Keith is a fountain of knowledge and I’m so grateful for all his patience, advice and little chats (he is very funny too!) Would I recommend Keith to anyone? The answer is yes, without a shadow of a doubt, absolutely, no question about it!.

Louise Heneghan 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: For months I was trying so hard to lose weight and realised I was getting nowhere. From the moment I met Keith I felt better physically and mentally. With his support and knowledge I was able to not just reach my goal but I reached a weight I haven't been since I was a teenager. I have learned and achieved so much and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. Very happy to have met him

Custom Fitness

Hey Louise! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Having got your weight down to the number you wanted, it is so great to now see you enjoying working out and getting stronger. Keep up the great work . Keith

Stephen Russell 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I came across Keith on Instagram and he reached out....so glad he did. I've been working with Keith approx 4months now. And I'm hitting the goals we set and getting newer ones. Lost the skinny fat dad bod by some fat loss and now getting much stronger too . Some exercises I'm even lifting the equivalent of my own bodyweight. That's huge for me!! I couldn't recommend this man enough!!

Custom Fitness

Your progress has been amazing Stephen.That's one of the reasons i really enjoy working with you. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review

Ned O'Donoghue 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Delighted with the service Keith provided. Came to Keith after losing weight and wanting to get into building muscle and gaining strength without undoing any of the work I'd already put in to lose fat already. Keith has been nothing but accomodating to my needs and issues as we have progressed in my journey. Would highly recommend for anyone who is looking to gain a little more direction in their training, whether that be for aesthetic or health purposes!

Custom Fitness

Hey Ned! You are such a great example of how rewarding my job is, because your continued weight loss and massive strength gain literally couldn't happen to a nicer person. Keep up the great work bro! And thanks taking time to leave a review. Keith

Fantastic experience: Keith made it very easy for me to lose a lot of weight and gain a lot of muscle without it becoming overbearing and life consuming. He creates the perfect mix, all you need is dedication. Top class service.

Custom Fitness

thanks for taking the time to leave a review Mairtín, and thanks for being such a great client. It has been really fun working with you.

Shirley Bateman 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was with Keith for a month and lost 9 inches and 3 kgs which i was delighted with but by the end of the month i felt confident enough to manage on my own which came through his guidance. Thank you

Custom Fitness

Savage results Shirley! It has been a delight to work with you and to see your amazing progress. Especially how much you've taken in and learned. Keep up the great work . Keith

Ramón Becker 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Keith "found" me on Instagram and contacted me. At that time I didn't realise that he was the coach I was looking for. It was 2 years before I dared to work with him and I haven't regretted it. I have never made such progress in such a short time. He helped me lose fat, build muscle and build strength. Thanks to him, I have made incredible progress with many calisthenics exercises. His programme is highly recommended and I thank him for "finding" me back then.

Custom Fitness

Thanks so much for takin the time to leave me a review Ramon. Your progress has been, and continues to be, astounding ! Well done on your excellent results and becoming a movement ninja!

Tommy Fitzgerald 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Having just finished my first program with Keith for fat loss and strength conditioning, I couldn't recommend him more. He makes the process incredibly straightforward and massively rewarding. Delighted with the results I'm getting from working with him!

Custom Fitness

Thanks for taking the time to leave a reply Tommy it's very much appreciated. As is your hard work and dedication in the face of whatever mad hours and locations your job throws at you. That's why you have superb fat loss and savage strength gains. Keep up the great work my man

Gerry Edwards 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Keith in Custom Fitness for the last five months. I'm over 50 and was medically obese having been unable to run for the last couple of years due to health issues including arthritis in my knees. This all led to a loss of self esteem as well as unwelcome weight gain and a loss of fitness. Keith was able to help me identify my goals and worked on a challenging but achievable programme to help me achieve them. Since then I have lost weight (down 15%), increased muscle tone, have more energy and self confidence, and due to the weight loss and dedicated training routines have been able to return to running. I would highly recommend Keith and Custom Fitness to any men over 40 or men over 50 who are concerned about weight gain or loss of fitness and the possible future health implications. In just 5 short months I have achieved what has evaded me for years.

Custom Fitness

Gerry!! What can I say! This review is very much appreciated. But even more so, I appreciate having this front row seat to your amazing progress! It is totally inspiring to me. Change like this... a triumphant come-back story ... it's a privilege to be a part of and it's the number 1 reason i love my work. So thanks for that. One of the greatest things about what you are doing is that you will for sure you are inspiring those around you too. Keep up the great work bud Keith

Keith Russell 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Keith is a very knowledgeable, kind, and understanding coach. Not only does he go through your own fitness troubles. He dives deeper into your past to get a better feel for how to approach training you! Its a nicer and more im depth form of coaching I have experienced. From nutrition, to strength training workouts in and out of the gym. Keith is the best coach to get you into the ideal body of YOUR dreams. I look forward to working with him again in the future. I can't recommend him enough. Best trainer I've had.

Custom Fitness

I'm blushing off the scale over here . Thanks for the kind words Sir. It was delightful to work with you and I look forward to our next project Keith

Brona Burke 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started training with Keith last February, 3 months after having my daughter. Since taking a break from proper exercise I was nervous about getting back into it but once the first session was over I already felt so much better. Keith’s knowledge on postpartum and his patience in getting me back on track was incredible. With Keith’s guidance on nutrition, exercise and mentality I was in a better physical and mental place and really enjoyed exercise again. It was also ideal as a new mom to be able to work out at home around schedules and save time travelling to and from a gym. I can’t recommend Keith more to anyone looking to get strong and loose weight while enjoying the process.

Custom Fitness

Thanks Brona, i really appreciate your stopping to write a review especially because i know how busy you are. Your progress has been phenomenal. It is so great to work with you and i look forward to continuing to work with you. I can't wait to see where you take this next . Keith

Barra Cassidy 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I found this to be a brilliant experience. As someone who never followed a fitness program before I'm now set up and know what to do in the Jim and / or at home with workouts, and nutrition. In only 2 weeks I'm already starting to see progress.

Custom Fitness

Hey Barra! It's been really impressive to see how much you've done in 2 weeks. You've got a super grasp of nutrition now which i know will keep you making even more great progress. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review. Keith

Phelim Green 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Many thanks to Keith for getting me involved with the LeanStrong program. The program, nutrition plan, follow up calls etc have all been invaluable on my quest to turn my life around. LeanStrong has been the kick up the backside that I needed to get motivated again. Don't be put off if you are not particularly fit as Keith takes all of this into account when creating your plan. Some of the exercises may look daunting but yes there are tough versions but tgere are also easier alternatives which are great for getting started... plus the video guides on each are excellent rather than having to go searching for yourself. I am now working out most days and counting calories. I won't be an IronMan any day soon as over many years I got into a rut of too many bad habits but now I am losing weight and getting fitter so that's all good. Keith has a wealth of knowledge and is happy to share and has busted a lot of myths out there that I have seen on tiktok etc. Highly recommend... Best thing I have done in a long... long time

Custom Fitness

Thanks very much Phelim, both for taking the time to leave a review and for the kind words. I loved reading your review because the huge turnaround you've applied to your lifestyle. I'm very impressed my man! Keep up the great work . Keith

Tom Kelleher 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Keith is a gentleman, his approach is second to none. My increase in strength and my weight loss was incredible. I was motivated and encouraged at all times. The fat loss and muscle gain really kept me wanting to achieve more. All the while managed by Keith, I didn't feel at all like I was an inconvenience with my silly questions. Thanks mate!

Custom Fitness

YEEEEES Tom! Your 7kg drop in 3 weeks is UNHEARD of! I massively enjoyed working with you anyway, but your phenomenal results made it even more fun. Keep up the great work pal . Keith

sinead martin 3 years ago

Negative experience: A very expensive way to watch you tube videos

Custom Fitness

Hi Sinead, I'm not sure why you would claim that the coaching consisted of YouTube videos . You were given tonnes of support. More than most clients (all of whom have left glowing reviews). From the moment you signed up you refused every phone call, missed every check in, and replied to almost none of my messages. I’m not sure how you expect to be coached without ever speaking to your coach or following any of his instructions ‍♂️ I'm also not sure why you would hire a coach then immediately disappear, then cancel, then leave a clearly false review. But thanks Sinead, it has been a good laugh reading your review

Blanche Burke 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started Training with Keith 4 months after having my 2nd little boy. After not exercising for a long time and having a baby that didn’t sleep, starting with Keith was hard but the best thing I’ve ever done. My fitness,strength, nutrition ,energy levels and overall mood has improved so much. I won’t lie the feeling of dread before the work out is tough with no sleep but I feel a different person after it! Keith is professional, patient, knowledgeable and explains things incredibly well through zoom in comfort of your own home. Can’t recommend Keith enough to anyone who wants to start feeling happier and healthier

Custom Fitness

Thank you so much Blanche for this inspiring synopsis of your journey from getting started with home coaching to feeling happier and healthier. I’m sure this will inspire many others in a similar position, post partum, to regain their energy levels, health and fitness. Your progress has been amazing - the strength gains, the mobility, and all the weight loss! It’s a total pleasure working with you

David Byrne 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: When I started with Keith, I had a generally good level of fitness, but wasn't in the best shape. 12 weeks later I am in the best shape I've been in in years. I was around 80kg when I started and now am around 74kg, I would have never thought I had 6kg that I could have gotten rid of. I was surprised when I saw the program that there were only 4 days of gym work, I had bee used to doing 6 or maybe even 7 days, looking back I was probably doing too much. Keith knows what he's doing, trust his process and put in the work and you'll see the results. Would definitely recommend taking up a program with Keith

Custom Fitness

Amazing results from you David! You really are a great of example of how great the results can be when we trust the process. I know you are going to absoultely nail your upcoming Everest climb. Thanks for taking time to leave a review. Its been a pleasure working with you.

Tom Byrne 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Keith was a fantastic trainer for me. During the lockdown Keith set some brilliant strength programmes for me that enabled me to gain muscle when previous consistent exercise without any focus had not driven anywhere close to the same benefits. Keith is a great guy who motivates in a down to earth way and works to whatever your needs are. I would highly recommend Keith to help you with whatever fitness goals you may have.

Custom Fitness

Tom! Thanks so much for the review my man! It has been great to work with you and see your strength go through the roof !! Well done pal

Fantastic experience: I started working with Keith a number of weeks ago and it was the best decision I have made. I am feeling stronger, fitter and leaner....but more importantly I am loving the workouts. I normally get bored with exercise routines, but Keith is changing up things regularly which is fantastic. I recommend him 100%

Custom Fitness

gareth ICT 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I recently had a casual conversation with custom fitness, I got some really helpful advice on what I could do to help my training efforts. I've never felt more comfortable talking about my fitness goals and where I fail to make progress, only to receive really helpful advice without being asked to pay or subscribe to an email newsletter. I would recommend that anybody who wants fitness advice without the stress of feeling uncomfortable to talk to custom fitness. This is an honest PT who is in it for right reasons and wants to help you make progress towards your goals.

Custom Fitness

An absolute please to chat to you buddy! And I'm only to please to help out. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave this review. Very thoughtful

Kevin Hickey 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Keith is one of the nicest kindest people I've ever had the pleasure of getting to work with. Regardless of where you are beginning your journey from Keith is more than happy to assist you and help in any way he can. I originally got in touch with Keith as I was looking to join a gym for the first time in my life and was slightly bewildered as where to begin. After an initial consultation I knew straight away I wanted to work with Keith , His positive attitude exudes from the moment you meet him and you quickly realize he is one of the most down to earth people you'll ever meet. Unfortunately our sessions were interrupted due to covid affecting gyms but that didn't stop Keith from getting in touch regularly to make sure I was doing okay and seeing what we could work on even though we couldn't physically meet up. Simple things such as trying to set achievable goals to make you feel good while your actively improving your fitness is just one of many thing Keith has provided me. I hope to get back in the gym with him soon as I think I personally learn better in person , I remember learning the proper techniques for different moves for the first time from Keith as he patiently walked me through each machine and the uses and functions of them. As a beginner this was really helpful and made the gym seem slot less daunting . After a week or two I couldn't wait to have my weekly session and actively looked forward to them throughout the week. I could go on further but I don't want to type up a novel here :) Keith is absolutely brilliant at what he does and if your looking at beginning your fitness journey or simply continuing your journey, there is no one I could recommend more than Keith Grainger.

Custom Fitness

Hey Kevin Thanks so much for the lovely review buddy! It has been and still is an absolute pleasure working with you and seeing you go from strength to strength, overcoming everything in your path. Keep up the great work pal

louis burke 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Have been training with Keith since March (the start of lockdown) as I wanted to try and put the spare time to good use. I’m 10kgs lighter now and stronger than I have ever been (nearly 40). I also have a much better understanding of training, particularly using rings and body weight to achieve great results. Can’t recommend him highly enough!

Custom Fitness

Louis thanks so much for leaving a review and for inspiring everyone with your amazing before and after photos. The progress you have made in the face of a busy work life is in itself a great example of how a truly impressive physique can be achieved even with a busy schedule.

Sinead Murphy 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started with Keith about 6 weeks ago and am really enjoying the sessions (I’m not a gym person at all), feel better about myself and staying focused. He is a great listener tailoring for your specifics needs, has a vast knowledge about nutrition with a focus on sustainability rather than a quick fad eating plan. Highly recommend Keith.

Custom Fitness

Thanks so much Sinead for taking the time to leave a review, and for the kind words !!

Kev Sullivan 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Been working with Keith for about 9 months now and I can't recommend him enough. Started with the main goal of losing weight and now I'm down just over 20kg (starting around 106) and still improving all while building and maintaining strength which is also progressing week on week. This is all done without starving myself etc. I eat much more sustaining, tasty meals compared to what I was on when just strict dieting for weight loss. Keith makes it very easy to pick up new exercises and keep things fun and interesting to make the routine easy to keep. He is highly knowledgeable in his profession, always able to clearly answer any queries. It's easy to see he puts in a lot of work outside of just your 1:1 sessions to provide the best possible service to his clients. Don't worry about being "too out of shape" etc. I had never done strength training before and was over a decade out of doing any meaningful exercise. Keith works specifically with you at an individual level at a pace that will work for you. You'll be surprised how easy it is to get into this and you won't regret it at all. Also should point out the flexibility of work with Keith. I started sessions with him in the Gym, then in lock down worked remote from my apartment which had little to no equipment, and now back home with family where I have personal equipment. We never lost any progress of the whole time and always he always came up meaningful innovative exercises to work on that meant continuous strength building throughout the process.

Custom Fitness

Wow! Thanks so much for this amazing review Kevin!!! The appreciation is mutual buddy! Your dedication and progress have been truly outstanding, and a pleasure to be a part of. Keep up the great work buddy!!

Alan Brophy 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: My contact with Custom Fitness was through Keith Granger. This was and still is such a rewarding return for the financial outlay. Health, well being and a motivation that creeps up and you gets you really interested in optimising the time you have in the gym instead of blindly doing sets without direction. Keith takes a gym/nutrition approach and having had experience with other PT’s in the past, Keith is head and heels above the competition in my view,

Custom Fitness

Hi Alan! Thanks so much for leaving a review. And for your kind words. Your strength gain and fat loss, not to mention your improvements in fitness have been tremendously impressive and satisfying to watch. Well done

Shaunagh Thomson 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Keith is by far one of the best in the business. His knowledge and genuine care for each and individual client is second to none. He helped me change my life in regard to how I look at exercise and food. After battling various health issues Keith always helped me to find exercises I could do. He knew when to push me and when not to. After working with keith for over a year I became so much stronger , leaner and happier with how I saw myself. Very hard to find a trainer like him, he will go above and beyond to help you and you will see great results. Highly highly recommend!!

Custom Fitness

Wow! Thanks Shaunagh for this super lovely review!! You made every second of this process an absolute pleasure. Your dedication is inspiring and your progress has been astounding. In fat loss, strength gain, nutrition knowledge, and mindset. Well done Shaunagh

Zizi Mars 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: My partner and I were looking for a personal trainer to lose weight before the wedding. We found Keith by just looking at what was close to home. I can say now, after months of training, we made the best choice. Keith is this amazing, positive person and we enjoyed going to the gym and train with him. He is patient, knowledgeable and supportive - he can adapt to your wishes/goals and he always pushes you to do your best. I can't find enough words of praise :)

Custom Fitness

Vinkadoodles!!!!! Thanks so much for the kind words! I was very lucky to meet you both and get to train with you. Truly so much fun You have made such awesome progress first on personal training and now in your online training. Keep up the great work!!

Fantastic experience: Keith is a very knowledgeable and quality PT. He will listen and understand your gials no matter what they are and help you achieve them. He has helped me with spinal issues that led to decreased grip and strenght. I am now training better and more intelligently because of his guidance and hitting new PBs that I was told would never happen again.

Custom Fitness

Thanks so much for the review Peter! Your progress and tenacity in training around so many serious prior injuries is absolutely inspiring to me and to everyone. Keep up the great work dude

Fantastic experience: Keith is the best. I'm a remote client, literally a thousand or more miles away in South East Asia and despite time differences, gym/equipment challenges and food oddities Keith got me on track and motivated me to keep at it. He's super kind and enthusiastic without being "just too much". Highly recommend Custom Fitness.

Just so much dust in my eyes over here what’s up with that . Seriously, thanks for the review and for the kind words. It has been amazing working with you and seeing you progress. Stay healthy!!

Fantastic experience: I have been a client of Keith’s for over 2 years now. The first thing to say about Keith is that he lives and breathes his work. He is full of enthusiasm and energy and it’s very obvious that he loves what he does for a living . He has a huge depth of knowledge on both personal training and nutrition and is always looking to add to that knowledge. I have being going to gyms on/off for 20 years with a lot more off than on and when I did go, it was all cardio as I didn’t enjoy doing weights etc. Now I have learnt consistency and I really enjoy doing strength training, particularly the technical aspects of it. Motivation wise, Keith is perfect for me, the right mix of encouragement and pushing when needed. As for results, I have lost a total of 25 kg during that time, gained strength and good physique. Most importantly, I have gained a good knowledge of both strength training and nutrition. There’s always more to learn and lots of room for improvement but the knowledge I have gained from Keith has provided me with the tools to keep lean, strong, fit and healthy for years to come.

Custom Fitness

Thanks so much for the review Niall. You have amazed me at every turn. Always finding a higher gear again and again. You’ve come SO far. You have become a master of nutrition and effortless adherence. And your results clearly show it. Well done pal

Seán Kennedy 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Worked with Keith for 6 months earlier this year! Saw my fitness and strength skyrocket while my weight dropped steadily The best thing I learned with Keith was how to enjoy working out again - something I'd forgotten for a long time! Even after I finished working with Keith (due to holidays and then injury), I've kept the lessons he taught me and several of the workouts and most importantly kept my love of the gym

Custom Fitness

Hey Seán thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review. It was so great working with you. And so inspiring to see your progress. Delighted to hear you are still feeling the grá for the gym!

Custom Fitness

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking to lose a few pounds (or more) and increase your fitness to levels you thought you were too unfit or old to achieve, then give Keith a call! I’m no gym bunny and never will be, as much as my internal voice thinks I will, but my few times a week with Keith are not only fun and challenging but they get amazing results. There’s no hours of running on a treadmill or a million reps and sets to do. There’s so much variety and Southside Gym has much more fun equipment to play on. I was an online client for almost a year and my weight dropped almost 2 stone with Keith setting nutrition goals. He gave me a load of choice for home gym exercises as well as my trx, water container weights and boxing bag. As I’m pretty hopeless (and prob not on my own here!) with home exercising, pushing it out til tomorrow which never comes, I changed a few months ago to 2 one to one sessions a week. For the price of a meal and a few drinks you’ll get more out of a session with Keith in the gym, you’ll have the same amount of laughs, you don’t eat your weekly calorie targets in one meal and you can legally drive home! Keith will tailor your workouts to suit your body type, fitness level, goals, and he keeps an eye on every day you’re in, and will change workouts if there’s a bit of a down day, sick or if you simply don’t like something. His encouragement and want for me to achieve, not just in fitness and nutrition but time management and prioritising my life has never gone astray. I can write so much more but you’re better off finding out for yourself how Keith can help you achieve the best results and change your lifestyle for the better.

Custom Fitness

Thank you so much for the wonderful and personal review Tash! You've done amazingly and your story is something I think lots of people can relate to

Mo Harte 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been putting off going the gym because....well I just didn't want to. Keith was recommended to me so I thought I'ld give it a go and I have to say he has made the whole experience very user friendly and fun. Taking me patiently through everything step by step - he is a good listener, passionate about what he does and very knowledgeable. I'm hooked!

Custom Fitness

Hey Mo! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. It is very much appreciated :)

Jack Patrick 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I contacted Keith about fat loss initially, and was nervous about the amount of exercise I'd have to do and if I'd have time to do it, Keith put me totally at ease and explained everything in concise way and put together a programme that fit into my busy lifestyle. I am not only on the way to losing all the weight but have gained strength and agility which I never expected. Going down this path has truly changed my life and its all thanks to Keith. Thanks so much man, am getting compliments left right and centre and am totally buzzed and feeling great and healthy. Am spreading the word!

Custom Fitness

Such a pleasure working with you. You’ve done amazing and I’m delighted for you! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, and for spreading the word!

Fantastic experience: Keith at custom fitness is unreal. Makes joining a gym a positive and motivational experience.He really tailers the programme to suit your needs.Ive been with other gyms where they offered free PT as a reason to join them ,but you can totally see the difference in Quality. his dedication and work ethic with his clients is second to none. Love working with him in getting fit and the desired effects.Top bloke..get down and try him out.You wont be disappointed.

Sean Mehigan 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve found Keith to be a highly talented trainer & coach with a deep understanding of physiology and how the body works. He makes things accessible & understandable. The fitness and diet regimes he has worked with me on have had a significant positive impact on my life. I can’t recommend Keith highly enough.

Custom Fitness

David Murphy 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve made great progress since I started training with Keith. I can’t recommend him enough. Thanks Keith

Custom Fitness

You certainly have made great progress! :) Thanks so much for taking the time to review !

Steven Jackson 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: The ethos of Custom Fitness is what makes it special. So many gyms and trainers offer packaged bodies where looking a certain way is the ultimate goal. CF is simply down to earth, well being. You'll achieve the results you want for your body through Keiths expert knowledge of fitness and nuitrition. But you'll feel yourself while doing it because of his hands on but hands off approach. He's a trainer who lets you be you but gets you shredded in the meantime if that's what you want! Worth every penny and worth every drop of sweat!

Custom Fitness

Such flattery!! :) Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review my man.

alan hansen 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a personal trainer to help me with fat loss and a friend of mine recommended Keith to me as she has been using Keith as a personal trainer and has had fantastic results from him. Initially I was a bit apprehensive as I am not really a gym person but Keith immediately put my mind at ease. We started slowly and built gradually at my pace. I absolutely love our sessions now and am delighted to say I have lost 9.5kg in total. I couldn’t recommend Keith more. 5 stars.

Custom Fitness

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review Alan, and for the kind words. It has been so great working with you.
