I had the pleasure of working with Gareth for three seasons while he was with the Canadian 7’s team. He is extremely hard working and knowledgeable about his craft. As an athlete, it is hard to not to be motivated when Gareth was around. He has a way about him that people respond well to his message. He pushes you to do the work, to get that extra rep in, and run that little bit harder. Not only is he a fantastic coach, but his character added immensely to our team environment and culture.

Gareth was a key part in developing my strength and fitness at Gloucester-Hartpury. We had in-depth chats about areas I specify needed to develop and Gareth used rugby related drills and movement patterns to ensure it was all relevant to being the best I could be on the rugby field. I also enjoyed the competitive side he integrated to training, as high performance athletes we thrive with a bit of competition! In my rehabilitation time he took time to care more than just our fitness, but the mental side and challenges faced along the way. including building confidence in the later stages of rehabilitation. He is very hands on and even joined in some of the individual sessions as moral support.

Gareth is a great person but an even better coach. I've had the pleasure of working with him for two years and he was a big part of my athletic development. Very approachable and knowledgeable. He expects a lot out of his athletes but that is to match the amount of dedication he provides. If you apply everything you have when working with him, I have no doubt you will see the results you're looking for. Great guy, great coach! 10/10.

Gareth is a great performance coach to work with. He has rehabbed me through injuries and always made sure I received the right amount of conditioning to simulate game demands and get me back to peak condition. He knows when to push you and when to hold you back. His coaching and programming gave me the confidence to return to the field feeling confident, fit and prepared knowing I had done the right work.

I was at a point in my life when I had lost my direction in the gym and found myself just going through the motions with no real purpose, other than to try and keep fit whilst finding myself bored and stuck in the same old routines. I thought my nutrition and well-being were ok but knew I needed some help to review and revisit my lifestyle choices. Since working with Gareth, he has challenged my physical, mental and holistic well-being whilst offering support and advice through a variety of techniques and education. His programmes are progressive, varied and unique to me. He is always available to chat through programmes and challenges and will adapt exercises to suit my needs. Gareth always displays a calm, knowledgeable and professional manner, he is always approachable and offers advice and guidance that I have complete confidence in and continue to relish and enjoy.

Gareth is brilliant. He was integral in my recover to overcome a 12 week injury in just 5 weeks and give myself a shot at an Olympic place alongside my physio. I honestly cannot speak highly enough of his planning, diligence and incredible knowledge base. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and after being in the sport at an elite level for over 15 years he still found ways to challenge and engage me that I hadn't done before. Gareth is a legend in his area!

Gareth supported and guided me through the biggest challenge I have faced on a personal and professional level. Faced with an ACL injury, I worked closely with Gareth and he guided me back to my best athletic condition and fighting at the top level again. His dedication, eye for detail, knowledge and emotional intelligence makes him one of the best professional and people I have and the pleasure to work with.

I was coached by Gareth at a time when I had a ACL knee injury. Gareth took the time to understand me as an individual in order to tailor my programme and know the best ways to push and challenge me. I strongly believe that Gareth’s influence helped me to grow and adapt into a better athlete and a better person. Gareth helped me to return to the pitch in a much stronger place physically and mentally which has allowed me to achieve my goals.
