Phil Ravenscroft

A counter-​action to my fast food habits was not just to go cold turkey but to gain the kind of guidance I needed. I’ve heard it all, ‘cut out carbs’, ‘just exercise’ and ‘overload on protein’. With so many potential solutions to gain the fitness or body image you crave it can be hard to know where to turn with so many so called ‘experts’.
After seven weeks of training at the Velocity Studio, I have learnt more than I ever did in my previous years of yo-​yo dieting. Too scared to commit myself into the weights area — squeezing past the Unilocaling muscle men and pretty boy action men in my way and too self-​conscious to try and pick up them heavy weights off the top rack, I decided it was time to seek help.
Phil Ravenscroft was my first port of call at the velocity studio; prior to joining him I was concerned that I may be too small, too weak and too unfit. I was immediately re-​assured that none of this mattered. Phil’s primary aim surprisingly was for me to enjoy the training programmes. The studio– based training was well equipped with weights, squatting racks and even tracks. I have a far superior knowledge of the right foods to eat at the right times, and results– well results talk for them self and although I still have some improvements to make in my diet at least my training is now where it needs to be.
I have to thank Phil for the work he has done with me, some seven weeks ago I was reluctant to participate in any form of intense training for longer than a week. I not only enjoy training I feel as though I’m on a personal level with Phil and other staff around Velocity training. I highly recommend.
