Hi, I'm Simon Dainton, founder of Fitstreet Personal Training.
I'm a Certified Personal Trainer, based in Surrey in the UK.
My career is built on helping everyday men and women lose fat and teaching
them how to keep it off for the long term.
My programs of 'Lifestyle Change' guarantee clients results, combining effective exercise, nutrition and lifestyle adjustments.
What is my approach to training?
I believe that exercise is all about moderation. The degree to which it fills your
life will vary. I DON’T believe in the 'Sergeant Major' type approach, barking
orders and reminding you of your physical failures. That’s not my style. It
doesn’t work for me and it doesn’t work for my clients.
I DO believe in training with good humour, patience, professionalism and empathy. While you will work hard, sessions will be enjoyable and physically rewarding. For
this reason, no two sessions are ever exactly the same.
How do I stay in shape?
I keep things simple. I train with weights and I sprint. When the weather's good
I swim and kayak. I also walk my dog twice a day. (An added bonus!)
At school I was skinny, moderately inactive and never picked for teams. Since then
I've worked hard to get physically fit. I have first-hand experience of the dedication needed to succeed and the education to know how. Exercise is now
a daily part of
my life but it doesn't rule it - 45 minutes at most is all I need!
(Feel free to read 'Fitness - My Own Journey' in the Articles section).
What's my diet like?
OK, I have to admit I have a sweet tooth... 95% of the time I eat very well - healthy, nutritional food spaced regularly throughout my day. My diet is pretty clean - whole foods, plenty of animal protein and good quality fats. When it
comes to eating I'm sensible.
I steer away from sugar as much as possible, but of course I'll indulge every
now and then. Like everyone else, I enjoy a bit of chocolate and I 'sometimes' give in
to puddings, crisps and alcohol, but I see these as treats, not a regular part of my
daily diet! Once a week is enough.
I'm a firm believer in the saying 'all things in moderation'. Eating, after all, is a social thing! As long as I stick to a winning formula 95% of the time, I'm happy!
