Client Results & Testimonials
Most personal trainers fill their websites with before-and-after photos. We don’t. Our clients train with us in a private gym because they value their privacy - and that includes keeping their progress photos off the internet. They share them with us, but only with the guarantee they’ll stay private. Could we post faceless “head-cut-off” shots like some trainers do? Aye, but that wouldn’t be an honest reflection of what we do. Instead, we let our results speak through the words of the people we’ve coached.
These are real stories from men and women over 35 who trained with us, stayed consistent, and built strength that lasts.
PA
PT & Group Training
“No fads, no posing, no queuing for kit — just proper weights, the right motivation, and training that works.
When I started, I was a 65-year-old desk-bound beer belly. Now I’m proud to wear a T-shirt again, and that says it all. Thanks, Liam.”
PK
PT & Group Training
“In my early 50s, after two decades in a desk job, I retrained for a physically demanding role in conservation. Fran tailored my training perfectly, helping me rebuild the strength I needed for work and the confidence I’d lost.
Her calm, encouraging style made all the difference. I’d recommend her to anyone.”
GR
PT & Group Training
“If you find commercial gyms a nightmare, this is the place to be. Liam and Fran run small, focused sessions with none of the nonsense.
I’ve made new friends, built confidence, and feel like a different person since joining. If you’re unsure but thinking about it — just get started.”
AL
Group Training
“Great gym. Both Liam and Fran are excellent coaches, and the sessions work for complete beginners as well as those with experience.
It’s small, friendly, and welcoming - I love training here!”
TP
Group Training
“I only joined recently after a consultation with Fran and I absolutely love it!
Having never done anything like this before, Fran and Nicky have been so patient - teaching me the names of the exercises, showing me how to use the equipment properly, and giving me the confidence to enjoy training.”
TH
Group Training
“I’d never set foot in a gym before, but Liam and Fran made me feel welcome from day one.
The coaching gave me the guidance I needed to find my feet, and now I look forward to every session.”
NM
PT & Group Training
“I never enjoyed gyms or group classes before — but this is different. I started just wanting to ‘get fit’ and ended up hitting milestones I never thought I could. With Liam and Fran’s support, plus the encouragement from the members, I’ve built real strength and confidence.
The coaching is excellent, the atmosphere is welcoming, and it’s perfect if you’ve ever felt anxious or out of place in big commercial gyms.”

Highly recommend for anyone wanting to get stronger, fitter, and enjoy the process.”

CK
PT
“Liam’s knowledge of bodybuilding, powerlifting, and kettlebells is second to none. Every session is different, built from his experience, and always tailored to what I need. He’s supportive, focused, and knows exactly how to push you to the next level.
As a cyclist, I’ve found his approach invaluable for improving my performance off the bike as well as in the gym. Highly recommend PT sessions with Liam.”
JG
PT & Group Training
“The gym itself is outstanding - top-quality equipment, well-maintained, and a great environment to train in. Liam’s coaching makes the difference though: approachable, knowledgeable, and always focused on getting you results.
Whether it’s 1-to-1 or in group sessions, you know you’re in the right place for proper coaching.”
IC
Group Training
“The group sessions here are more than just workouts — they’ve become a real support network. Liam’s passion for training shines through, and he’s even connected us with world-class athletes for online seminars.
The sessions are tough, but the laughter and camaraderie get you through, and you always leave stronger.”
BU
PT & Group Training
“One of the best gyms in Huddersfield. The sessions are always challenging, the coaching is spot on, and the atmosphere makes you want to come back.
Whether it’s 1-to-1 PT or group training, you know you’re in safe hands and getting stronger every time.”
JE
PT & Group Training
“I had some 1-to-1 coaching on my squat and deadlift, and Liam’s guidance made a huge difference - not just in the lifts, but in easing my day-to-day back pain.
The group classes are brilliant too, with a friendly community that makes hard work enjoyable.”
LC
Group Training
“I’ve been training with Liam for about a year and can’t recommend his bootcamps enough. He’s encouraging, supportive, and motivating — and the community feel makes a massive difference.
During lockdown, the sessions gave me a huge lift, not just for fitness but for my mental health too.
Everything is run safely and professionally, and I’ve always felt confident training here.”
PT
PT & Group Training
“I’ve been training with Liam for a year now, mainly in group sessions, and the progress has been incredible. His programmes are spot on and his coaching is the best I’ve had.
With a desk job and long hours at home, training here has been vital for both my physical and mental health. I’m stronger, more confident, and have a healthier outlook all round.
I honestly wouldn’t want to train anywhere else.”
DW
PT
“Amazing what you can do with a kettlebell. At first I hated the workouts — they were tough — but soon I started to enjoy them, and the results spoke for themselves.
Liam is a great coach, both 1-to-1 and in classes, and he always finds ways to push you further than you thought possible.”
HH
PT & Group Training
“I trained with Liam before lockdown and can’t recommend him enough.
The bootcamps were excellent, the results were fantastic, and the people were friendly and welcoming.
Liam is highly professional and I’ll definitely be returning.”
NI
Group Training
“I’m fortunate to have known Fran — one of the kindest people you’ll meet — and her equally supportive husband Liam. After a severe lower back injury, I thought I’d never exercise properly again.
But since joining The Angry Vegan gym, the welcoming atmosphere, encouragement, and expert coaching have given me the confidence to rebuild my routine.
My strength has returned, my back pain has almost gone, and I feel stronger and happier than I ever imagined.”
DD
PT
“We started PT with Fran just 12 weeks ago and have since joined the group sessions too. Both have been fantastic.
The coaching is friendly, knowledgeable, and supportive - we couldn’t be happier with our progress.”
FL
PT & Group Training
“I really enjoy attending The Angry Vegan classes. With Fran and Liam’s help, I’m getting fitter and stronger every week.
It’s a friendly, local gym I’d recommend to anyone who wants results in a supportive environment.”
LA
PT & Group Training
“I started training with Liam to get fitter and feel more confident in a gym setting. From day one he made sure I felt safe, supported, and able to focus on training. Since then, my strength and fitness have grown, and I’ve seen a big improvement in managing my Type 1 diabetes. Liam adapts sessions so I can keep progressing without setbacks, and the knock-on effect has been huge – better mobility, better mood, and more confidence. I finally feel comfortable in the gym and enjoy the training, which makes me excited to keep going.”
CH
PT & Group Training
“After the lockdowns of 2020, my fitness and mental health hit rock bottom. I’d gained weight, lost motivation, and knew I needed a change. After speaking with Liam, I took the plunge and joined The Angry Vegan. From the very first session, I was impressed – everything was organised, clean, and safe, with proper attention to detail. Thirteen weeks later, I’d lost two stone, but more importantly, I felt in a much better place mentally and physically. The gym gave me structure, focus, and progress at a time when I really needed it.”
ZP
PT & Group Training
“After losing my son at just 19, I was in a very dark place and couldn’t see a way forward. Joining Yorkshire Bootcamps gave me something I desperately needed – focus and support.
The training has pushed me at the right times, helped me regain strength, and given me the light at the end of the tunnel I thought I’d lost. It’s more than just exercise – it’s been a lifeline, and I’ll always be grateful for the difference it’s made.”
ZM
Group Training
“I joined the group sessions after struggling with my mental health during lockdown, and the difference has been huge. Training here has helped me manage my anxiety, improved my Type 2 diabetes, and given me confidence I thought I’d lost.
The gym feels safe, supportive, and structured – my nurse is impressed with the results, and so am I.”
CC
Group Training
“Booking into bootcamp sessions gave me the structure I needed to sort my work-life balance.
Having that time set aside has left me feeling stronger, healthier, and in a far better place both mentally and physically.”
SR
PT & Group Training
“Liam is a great coach and doesn’t let you give up. He pushes you when you need it most and keeps training enjoyable at the same time.
In just six months my health, fitness, and confidence have all improved. I’ve learned how to lift properly, how to listen to my body, and even how to tidy up my nutrition. I’ll be training here for years to come.”
PA
PT
“Liam and Fran are the real deal. They build realistic plans that fit around life and still get results.
They know when to push and when to adjust, and the progress is steady and sustainable.
On top of that, they’re genuine, supportive people who make training something to look forward to.”
