Chris Solly - The Body Fixer
About Me
I always focus on my clients drive to change their lives for the better giving them confidence and guidance to achieve their goals faster and safer.
I joined the Army at a young age and completed an 11 year stint in the infantry including time serving with the United Nations in Bosnia. During this time I competed in a multitude of sports including Boxing, Athletics, Rugby, Football and completed a Services Assistant Personal Trainer course, this involved helping to train soldiers for the rigours of their job.
After completing my service I went into business, ultimately finding myself in highly stressful and overworked management positions while still training the mind and body and staying fit.
I have been a group instructor at Bodyfix Gym since 2012, ultimately completing a double diploma in Fitness and Business.
I understand the stress that comes with high pressure work and family life – because I have been there!!!
What Clients say…
“I’ve been working with Chris since joining BodyFix. We started with a simple goal – to fit a flowery shirt that I liked, but hadn’t worn in 12 years…. No scales, no ‘pressure’…. But with his commitment to holding me accountable, his skill and his approach, I turned a goal into a habit. I fit the shirt, I have never been fitter, I’m strong and most importantly have influenced the family to become much more active as a team. I feel great!”
-Jon Bloy
“I started working with Chris just before a major knee injury. At first I didn’t want to go to the gym with the injury but with his encouragement, I kept going and we were able to find loads of exercises that worked for me.”
-Rachel Patel
“I am 72 years old next month (June) and I have always been very active. I had let my injuries get on top of me and was becoming rather housebound before Chris’ intervention. There is no doubt that he has reversed that trend and has been instrumental in teaching me that living alone doesn’t mean you should be lonely or inactive.
I think that there is a very real benefit for people my age to enjoy the feel-good factor that comes with exercise, whether in groups or as an individual and I would recommend Chris Solly’s involvement without reservations.”
-Shane RJ Newlove
“Chris takes a genuine interest in the welfare of his clients, not just with their training but in their lives in general.
I have seen him work with a variety of people in the gym, from beginners to long to long time gym goers. He has the ability to make people feel comfortable and more confident with their training. I would definately recommend Chris as a Personal Trainer.”
