I'd like to add my recommendation for David Wilson as a personal trainer... I started training with David once a week from last autumn. I'd had a bad back earlier in the summer and also had never really got back into doing any exercise apart from occasional yoga classes since having my son 7 years ago. Together with working full time and wanting to spend my free time with my family I never made it to any exercise classes and got to a point where I felt like I needed to do something for my health. Since I started doing the training I haven't had any trouble with my lower back and it has increased my core strength. I can notice that I feel less tired in general, my general energy levels have increased. I find it hard to motivate myself to do exercise so having a personal trainer solves that for me as we have the appointment and then David motivates me to do it! We usually do a mixture of strength training with small weights, core training like sit-up type exercises, and boxing exercises for aerobic health. The strength and core are quite hard work but the boxing is fun! David has a great gently encouraging manner which suits me better than some boot-camp type class. He is flexible in designing workouts to suit me and is happy to send me exercise routines if I want to practice in-between our training sessions. I now feel like seeing a personal trainer is a good investment in your health, especially if you find it hard to motivate yourself to exercise by yourself or don't have time to go to classes, and David is a skilled and patient trainer.

I would like to recommend Mark Elsebach (mehomeimprovements.co.uk/ 07743 825945) following his work on our bathroom in Honor Oak Park. The bathroom job involved knocking down part of a (non-supporting) wall and joining a previously separate toilet and bathroom into one room, then moving the toilet, fitting a walk-in shower and changing all the decor and bath, toilet & basin. Mark and his colleague also replaced rotten floor joists in the bathroom. The room is transformed. They did a great job, were friendly, hard-working and professional, and we were very happy we hired Mark to do this work.
