Andy Payne Personal Trainer and owner of Three Pillars of Fitness, based in Woodingdean, Brighton.
"Losing 40% or 8.5 stones of my own body weight has inspired me to launch my own mobile Personal Training business with a difference, my clients choose where they train; at home, in a gym, a private studio, outside or in one of our group classes. I also run healthy eating courses called Diet Doubters, which offer a safe, friendly and cost effective environment to learn from a professional in a group setting.
My story: I have spent most of my life battling my weight. Looking back it was a particular photograph of me on holiday with my parents that tipped the balance. I was twenty four years old, I had a waist measurement of 48 inches and a collar of 19 inches. I was shopping in "Big and Tall" shops for clothing and importing my jeans from America (via dial up internet!).
I decided that enough was enough, and so embarked upon a drastic, life changing course of action.
Within two years, through a lot of hard work and focus, I had lost eight and a half stone. I know from personal experience that there is no such thing as a "best exercise for weight loss" . I also know that the Three Pillar approach, is built around sound principles which are guaranteed to provide results .Today my obesity is but a distant memory.
At the start of my journey I knew it was life or death. I simply had to lose weight. I knew that in order to change my situation I had to commit physically to movement, I'd have to eat the right fuel (nourishment) and lastly I'd need the will and motivation to be consistent (mindset).

Perhaps in the past you have embarked on a programme of change by spending money, maybe a 12 month gym contract or a new pair of running shoes? I believe this does little to ensure success. Change requires a firm foundation which begins in your mind. It can be as simple as positive thinking exercises which, teach you how to build confidence.
I believe that in order to truly excel a client's fitness we must be really good at coaching in specific areas, my specialities include:
Shape change, weight loss, Food choice education, and mind(set)/ motivation
Core restoration, and functional, particularly for Post natal clients
Online Personal Training, home and outdoor workouts which are functional (help with daily activities)
Postural improvement, which can help with chronic pain and stress using Trigger Point Pilates
Behaviour change coaching and motivational interviewing
Mental health and exercise coaching
Government statistics show that less than one third of adults in the United Kingdom get the recommended amount of activity. Part of my work as a Personal Trainer is to understand you and your goals, including exercise preferences. I will create a bespoke exercise plan just for you, to make sure that you enjoy exercise, we might even play a game or two! The benefits of this are two fold: You adhere to your programme and you exceed your goals. I will also do everything in my power to make your sessions varied and fun, including circuit training exercises or games. If you would like to bring a friend or two with you for support they are Welcome too :-)
The first step of working with me is to meet, either in person or on Skype. I will do a full initial consultation with recommendations, which helps both of us to build confidence and know that working together will bring you the best results (consultation cost is £25 which is refunded if a training package is agreed).
