BUILD A BODY THAT LOOKS GREAT & LASTS
BUILD MUSCLE. KILL FAT. GET STRONG. FEEL CONFIDENT. HAVE FUN!

ABOUT NSFW

Hi, I’m Neil — Personal Trainer & Wellness Coach.

Your training is designed specifically around you — your age, your goals, your lifestyle.

Most clients come to me to:

Lose body fat
Build lean muscle
Improve functional strength
Restore confidence and energy

Training takes place in a private, appointment-only environment in Maidenhead — designed for focused, distraction-free coaching whether you’re new to lifting or experienced and ready for progression.

You might be a good fit if you:

Value progression and privacy
Want visible results without extreme methods
Train around a demanding career or lifestyle
Expect true 1:1 attention

The focus is entirely on you.

One-to-one coaching
A calm, controlled training setting
No crowds, no waiting
A respectful, inclusive, judgement-free atmosphere

Every programme is built around your life — not the other way around.

We focus on:

Personalised strength and body composition programming
Structured, progressive training systems
Intelligent fat loss without aggressive dieting
Sustainable improvements in strength, confidence and energy

No guesswork. No punishment. No fads.

Just proven methods applied properly.

Most of my clients are men and women in their 30s, 40s and 50s who prefer a private, appointment-based training experience rather than a busy commercial gym.

If that sounds like you, take a look at some client transformations and testimonials throughout the site.

Availability is intentionally limited to ensure quality and focus — please include your typical availability when enquiring.

In-person, one-to-one coaching in a focused, private setting.

Every programme is tailored to you, with a structured plan designed to improve health, build strength and create results that last well beyond short-term goals.

Circuit Workouts

NSFW Circuit sessions are a high-energy way to improve cardiovascular fitness, build endurance and burn serious calories — all within a structured, one-to-one coaching format.

Expect focused circuits and an environment that keeps energy high while maintaining personalised guidance throughout.

ADDITIONAL WELLBEING OPTIONS

In addition to your in-person Personal Training sessions, many clients bolt on additional wellbeing options to help them meet their goals and sustain their results. We'll explore your goals, likes, dislikes which will help us tailor a plan for you.

Nutrition

Science-backed nutrition planning and regular reviews to help you enjoy real food that fuels your training, supports fat loss and promotes lean muscle development.

No fads. No ultra-processed “diet” products. Just sustainable, evidence-informed strategies designed to fit your life and support long-term results.

Conditioning

Targeted conditioning work improves performance and helps reduce injury risk. If additional support is needed, I can recommend trusted local professionals for sports massage, osteopathy or rehabilitation services.

TESTIMONIALS

FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM @NSFW_PT

Every few months the fitness industry invents a new debate for Instagram. Paul alerted me to this week’s catfight which seems to be “Strength Training vs Circuit Training” with the heavy lifters & the Barrys crews going at it. Sigh.

It’s as if you have to pick a side like it’s Coke or Pepsi.

Here’s the quick science bit.
Your body adapts through SRA: Stimulus → Recovery → Adaptation.
You train. You recover. You get better. That stimulus could come from lifting heavy…or from high-density circuits. Both can work.

What actually matters is:

1. The programming.
Volume. Progression. Recovery. Consistency.

And most importantly…
2. The coach delivering it.

OFTEN FORGOTTEN THOUGH : Training has to be fun.
Because if sessions aren’t fun… people stop coming.
And if people stop showing up, the programme doesn’t work.

If people enjoy the sessions, they show up consistently.
And consistency beats every clever training method on earth.

So it’s not really strength vs circuit training.

It’s good programming, good coaching, the vibe with your Coach… and sessions people actually look forward to.

Almost like the coach matters more than the workout.
Who knew. 🫣😂

Whatever you’re doing, love it.

Squatting your own bodyweight is a solid strength benchmark.

Katie decided to ignore that completely.

Today she squatted 120% of her bodyweight — with excellent control and composure under the bar. Free squats incoming next..

In strength training we often look at relative strength: how much weight you can lift compared to your own bodyweight. Once you’re squatting more than your bodyweight properly, you’re into genuinely strong territory.

Katie actually got a bit bored of just deadlifting her bodyweight…so she decided she wanted to squat it too.

Also worth noting: there are plenty of blokes in commercial gyms who can’t squat 120% of their bodyweight properly.

Katie didn’t just reach the benchmark. She smashed straight through it.

Wanna be strong? Waiting List open.

Heaviest I’ve been in years. Bulk ongoing - now pushing 82kg. Scale weight is just one of many measures - something my clients hear me say over and over and over. What also matters? Mental health. How you feel. How full you are. Your energy. Your mood. Your strength. Sure some measurements. Everyone’s different. Get it? Got it? Good. 😛
 Abs still intact. Which is inconvenient for the internet…
Because this week I’ve eaten:

• A Cinnamon Roll from @prestoitalian (possibly the greatest baked good known to mankind) • Pizza • And several meals that nutrition influencers would describe as “not optimal.”

And yet…
I did not immediately turn into a blob.
Strange.

Fitness culture loves the all-or-nothing fantasy:
“Perfect diet.” “Perfect discipline.” “Perfect macros.”
Delete and block them. Avoid the black and white quick fix grifters like the plague.

In reality, the people who stay lean and strong for decades usually do something much less dramatic:

They train consistently. They eat well most of the time. They enjoy food.
They make it a lifestyle.
 And they don’t spiral into panic when a cinnamon roll appears.
Because body composition is built on trend and consistency, not a single Friday afternoon pastry.

Also — and this is important —
If having abs requires living like a monk who fears pizza…
who actually wants the abs?
Train hard. Eat well. Enjoy life.
Repeat into your 40s.
And get your advice from old boys like me who’ve lived and breathed the advice we give and are our own shop window.

Also worth noting that this photo has already been flagged by Instagram as NSFW. Apparently abs over 40 are now considered dangerous content. Noted thanks.

Wanna look like this in your 40s or 50s? It’s fully achievable. Get on the waiting list.

Nick is in his 40s - doesn’t look like it, right?
When he first walked in he looked… like most of the other dads..
Went for a run, played football, arms like your Nan.

Fast forward…
DadBod gone — joints still happy..and you can see the rig for yourself!

How? Three structured resistance sessions a week, coached in person, kept fun & sustainable. This is a lifestyle for Nick - not a fad or a shred. No restrictive diets, he hasn’t tracked calories or weighed out chicken & rice. He’s enjoyed his weekends & eaten his crisps. (He likes crisps).

Training hard, vibes are good. Nothing is taken THAT seriously (other than your training).

If you want to feel stronger, stand taller & enjoy lifting — this might be your place.

Applications are open, VERY limited slots now - more opening in the Spring.

NSFW. Train properly. Don’t just trust process - enjoy it. 💥

“You always remember your first time…” 😏
Ahmed’s first Circuit Party with us and he absolutely SMASHED it!
800 calories burned in under an hour.

Coached properly, kettlebells out, lasers on.
And an awesome Afterburn effect meaning he keeps burning calories all day long.

This is the funnest, hardest work you’ll ever do — inside a private PT-only studio where we love what we do.

Circuit Party isn’t random chaos. It’s cardio + power delivered in an environment that makes you want to push.

We keep our community small for a reason.
If you’ve been watching the fun, results & transformations and thinking you’d thrive in this environment — applications are open - very limited slots right now but more coming in the Spring.

Marianna making a dead hang look like a holiday… trust me, it’s anything but 😮‍🔥
30–60 seconds hanging from a bar doesn’t just “look cool” — it’s a serious test of:
• Grip strength (a huge predictor of longevity) • Shoulder stability & injury resilience • Spinal decompression (hello better posture) • Core activation (yes, even when you think you’re “just hanging”)

When you hang properly, your lats, rotator cuff, deep core stabilisers and even your obliques are firing to keep you controlled. It’s simple. It’s brutal. It works.

And let’s talk about those abs for a second…
Scientifically, it’s harder for women to develop visible abs than men. Women naturally carry a higher essential body fat percentage (roughly 10–13% higher than men) because… biology. Hormones like oestrogen encourage fat storage around the hips and lower abdomen. So when a woman builds visible abs, it’s not by accident — it’s discipline, consistency, intelligent programming, and serious effort over time.
Marianna should be incredibly proud. Strength + definition + control.

This is the NSFW standard.  No chaos. No junk. No crowded gym. No random workouts. Focused coaching. Proper progression. Real results.

Get on the list.

The cure for DadBod isn’t a better gym….

Nick didn’t look THAT bad when he first walked into NSFW.
Soft round the edges. Gut like all the other dads in the playground. Arms like your Nan…
 Member of a gym. Plays football. “Goes for a run”.
He had the membership. He didn’t have the coaching.
No structure. No progression. No one pushing him past “that’ll do.” A PDF to follow at best and a list of classes he never went to.

Now? He identifies as LIFTER.

Confidence through the roof. Body that’ll see him into old age. Buying YEARS onto his life to see his kid grow up.

100kg deadlifts for fun. Laser-powered Circuit Party sessions torching 800–900 calories an hour.

People talk about him behind his back now - “christ, have you seen how buff Nick’s got?”. True story.   Better training. Progressive overload. Proper programming. 1:1 training that keeps you accountable and pushes you harder than you could ever push yourself alone.

THAT’S the cure for DadBod - a physique that makes your kids feel proud and your wife be the envy of the other wives in the playground. 😜👊🏼

Full reel lands next week. Nick’s weights are still going up.

If you haven’t even started..and you want to make your kids proud, make the other dads a bit jealous and make it into old age with a body that lasts… we should talk.

More slots opening in April…
