Personal Training Success Stories with Rob Solly

Rob's been part of my team now for 10 years. In that time he's motivated me and got me fitter than I've ever been for 4 Arena tours. he definitely gets the best out of me, is incredibly good at what he does and I'd take him on any future tours in a heartbeat.

He’s transformed the way I train and the way I perform. From getting me stage-ready for Busted tours and musicals to preparing me physically for film roles, he understands exactly what my body needs for every challenge. I trust him completely—he’s genuinely brilliant at what he does.

Having competed in fitness shows I was already confident and experienced in the gym before I started training with Rob, but he has taken me to a new level. Thanks to Rob I can now do pull ups, dips and am back lifting heavy weights after my second baby. He’s introduced me to new exercises, and encourages me to attempt weights I wouldn’t do when training alone. Every session is brilliant! Rob is always great company, super motivating and I’m very proud of the progress I’ve made since training with him.

Rob's methods of training are not one dimensional. He takes into consideration the person and their own needs. I lose attention quickly so every session with him was different and he constantly keeps me on my toes.I had intended just to use him for the rehab, but now he’s a permanent fixture in my life. I know he cares about what he does and researches new methods of training all the time to help me stay on top of what is a very high pressured job, both mentally and physically.I wouldn’t have been able to transform back into the body I had without him and I wouldn’t be as sane if I didn’t see him either!

Rob Solly is the BEST trainer I've ever worked with. I absolutely love fitness, & Rob trains me based on what my mind & body needs. He never did an 8 or 12 week speed plan with me knowing I'm hard on myself & would look at negatives if I didn't hit a certain target in time, his idea was to train for health & fitness to be part of my lifestyle. Learning skills in how to keep yourself fit & healthy as your life grows & develops. Feeling my most focused right now. It's a big year and my body's ready for it. Thanks Rob.

I work in music and that means collaborating with a lot of people. What I need from my team is not only the best people with the best knowledge and application, but also a person that I want to spend time with. I LOVE spending time with Rob - even when I’m doing pull ups!! That’s got to mean something right?

51.9 kg in 9 Months | Natural S&C & Behavioral Tracking⁠

51.9 KG NATURAL PHYSICAL RECONSTRUCTION⁠

I started training with Rob in November 2025, doing two sessions a week, and what a journey it’s been!

​

Every session is well planned, and Rob is always bringing in new exercises to keep things challenging and interesting. He has also put together a diet plan and supplement programme to support my goals.

​

It all started on the VertiClimb machine, which at the time felt like absolute hell — but now, unbelievably, I actually enjoy it!

​

After just 9 months of working so far together, I’ve achieved something I never thought I would, 50kg weight loss! 

​

Not only have I lost 50kg, but I’m also fitter, stronger and healthier than I have ever been in my life.

​

One of the things I appreciate most about Rob is that he’s always there when you need him. He’s so easy to contact, whether it’s about training, nutrition, motivation or just having a bad day and needing a bit of encouragement. 

​

And although I started out with him as my personal trainer, I can honestly say he’s become a great friend along the way. I genuinely really like him as a person, and I think that’s a huge part of why I’ve enjoyed the journey so much. He knows when to push me, when to encourage me and, importantly, when to have a laugh with me.

​

I genuinely couldn’t be happier with how far I’ve come, and a huge thank you to Rob for all the planning, support, encouragement and for pushing me when I needed it.

​

If you’re thinking about starting your own fitness journey, I honestly couldn’t recommend Rob enough.
