We provide the tools and encouragement you need to lose weight, maintain the weight loss and lead a healthier lifestyle. We offer an initial one-to-one consultation with a pharmacist or other trained member of staff to determine your weight loss and other lifestyle goals. This initial consultation is priced at £20, which is offset against the costs of any programme you enrol on.
We provide simple, science-backed dietary advice that is individually tailored and fits into your everyday life. To be successful, healthy eating must be fun and easy to incorporate in your daily routine. So we won't lecture you about what you should eat or judge your lifestyle. Instead, our approach is to work with you to provide friendly, practical advice and inspiration to help you eat a tasty, nutritious and healthy diet.
Nutrition and lifestyle approaches to healthcare have been repeatedly shown to support all the systems of the body and nutritional therapy is the application of nutrition science in the promotion of health and peak performance. In addressing nutritional imbalances the body is supported towards optimum health and vitality. I use a functional medicine approach where focus is on the whole person and rather than treating individual conditions and symptoms and root causes of disharmony are explored.
We offer a first rate, no nonsense, gimmick free, Personal Training and Nutrition & Weight Management service, that fits with you and your lifestyle to help you lose weight, look good and feel great. We believe in a diet and exercise regime that is based around what nature provides and lots and lots of movement, explaining to you every step of the way why you are training and eating a certain way, specifically geared around your goals and desires.
Conor devised a programme to rebuild me - not to what I was before, but better. Many distance swim coaches frown on gym work. But since training with Conor I have done nothing but get faster. An example of this is in the recent New Zealand 10km Open Water Swim Champs. I won - against a much younger field. I am not a surf swimmer but yet I still managed to pull away from the field within the first km in huge seas simply because of the strength I have gained in the gym.

I started my working life as a professional football player at Cheltenham Town F.C, my four years at the club inspired me to qualify as a personal trainer. I then progressed to being an Advanced Personal Trainer, and last year I further qualified to Elite level. I now have over six years experience in helping clients reach their maximum potential. If you would like to find out more about my personal training services then please send me a message.
I run my own business, Blackberry Nutrition Limited. As well as seeing private clients at my clinic, I also advise businesses on employee health and stress management, and am a popular lecturer on food and health to a wide range of other audiences, including schools, local societies and specialist groups for particular health conditions. But I have not always worked in nutrition!
