Fitlab Coaching  Reviews 

Couldn't recommend Fitlab highly enough. I'm a 47 Yr old with a very busy life like many! I have a full on job Mon-Fri & Family with 5 kids , I was over weight and unhealthy, my eating choices were poor, something had to change but thought how on earth am I going to fit in training as well! I did, All thanks to the team at Fitlab, Chris, Matt & Alex are fantastic coaches and know there profession, I worked closely with Alex, he's been amazing throughout my transformation, They gave me a structure, a plan, a goal to aim for and the results have been astounding, I feel fitter, healthier and its something which has genuinely changed my life, mentally and physically, and what they have given me is something that I can continue for the rest of my days and that is something to be proud of!
Thank you

This was by far the best decision I have made in a very long time, Chris reached out to me and made me realise i could become a much better version of myself, I was apprehensive at first but chris made me feel comfortable and gave me re assurance that he would help set me up and build me a program that fitted into my daily life, which he did and I honestly look back now and have zero regrets because I have not only changed Alot physically but also alot mentally I am in the best place I have been in a very long time.
Then chris assigned me a coach which was Alex and I couldn't of asked for a better person to help me through my program, he was there every step of the way i don't think I could of done it without him so a massive thank you to him, we were in contact everyweek, If I wanted to amend my program in any way with either the food(I am a very fussy about food)or something in the gym he was there helping me find what suited me best he was there whenever I needed him and he gave me great advice throughout, You have changed my life and I will be forever greatful, if you choose to sign up with FitLab you will not regret it, honestly thank you again to everyone at FitLab. Such an amazing experience.

Thanks

After years of consistent effort in the gym with little to show for it, I felt stuck. At 43, I was certain I knew the basics of fitness and nutrition, but the reality was that I was just going through the motions without progress. I realised that what I lacked wasn't effort, but structure. This realisation finally prompted me to seek professional help, leading me to Chris at FitLab Coaching. Five months into this journey, I'm genuinely so glad I made the jump.

Working with Chris has been transformational. He didn't just give me generic advice; he delivered the exact formula, planning, and structure I needed. For the first time, I feel truly confident, great, and certain I'm on the right path fitness-wise.

Chris's support goes far beyond the workout plan. His constant encouragement and support have been a massive help, especially when self-doubt creeps in. What really sets him and FitLab apart is the sheer depth of knowledge and passion he brings to the table, covering all areas of fitness and nutrition and making it simple, realistic and manageable whilst being flexible to manage work, social events and family. The level of expertise is always evident in discussions, weekly check-in, the valuable weekly podcasts, and the genuinely supportive FitLab community.

This morning, my son even joked about me getting a six pack—something I genuinely never thought would be possible in my 40s! I’m excited, motivated, and looking forward to continuing my transformation with FitLab to see what the next phase of this journey brings.

I’ve been going to the gym for over 11 years. Back then I was completely new to fitness and didn’t pay much attention to healthy eating. Over time I learned more about training and nutrition, but I still wasn’t seeing the results I wanted. I hovered around 90 kg for years and was technically overweight for my height.

I realised I needed proper guidance from someone who knew what they were doing, so I started working with Chris. From day one, his knowledge and confidence stood out. He told me we’d get me in the best shape of my life — and he was right.

When I started I was 93 kg, training three times a week and eating without much structure. Chris gave me a plan that made sense, taught me how to eat the right balance of protein, carbs and fats, and built everything around foods I actually enjoy.

My goal was simple: get down to 80 kg and finally see my abs. It wasn’t always easy, but the support and accountability every week made all the difference. Weekends used to be my downfall, but I learned how to stay consistent without feeling restricted.

Now, in my 40s, I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been. I have more energy, feel stronger, and don’t constantly feel tired anymore.

I’d recommend this coaching experience to anyone who wants real, lasting results. Chris genuinely knows his stuff, and I’d work with him again in a heartbeat.

Having followed Chris/Fitlab on Social media for a while and seeing the Transformations they'd achieved with people within my age range I decided to sign up in August 2024.
At this point I was weighing approximately 94kgs and considered myself being in fairly decent shape. I had always kept quite active and also teaching Group exercises classes in my spare time. So no stranger to fitness or the motivation to workout. I just knew I could do better but need that extra 'push' to achieve it.

This is exactly what I got from Chris/Fitlab.

At the initial consultation Chris took time to understand why I felt the need to contact him and explain the Fitlab Program and how it can be tailored to suit my (often busy) lifestyle.
He came up with workouts that can achieve maximum returns with the most basic of equipment and also not needing to spend hours in the gym.

The food plans were tailored and sustainable without feeling like you are having to restrict yourself. This part was the real eye opener to me, thinking you've been eating fairly well but then being shown how it can be improved.

Once underway with the program it was very easy to make progress as you have constant support at a level that suits you (as much or as little as you feel you need). It keeps you accountable and once the results start to show and your metrics start moving in the right direction you want to keep pushing.

There was planned photo-shoot which was about 3 months after I started and I wasn't planning on attending, but as they date approached and I could see I was achieving 'photo-shoot' condition It was the extra push needed to hit my target weight. 80kgs. Loss of approx 14kgs by doing 3-4 workouts a week, upping activity and sticking to meal plans. No crazy fads just basics to achieve sustainable results.

I stayed on-board with Fitlab to maximise the benefit of the program where they coach you through reverse dieting and muscle building phase. But more importantly they give you all the tools you need to maintain the physique/lifestyle for the long haul.

I wouldn't hesitate recommending Chris/Fitlab if you are looking for an on-line Transformation specialist. They do exactly what it says on the tin.

Thanks again Chris :-)

Wow. Where do I start. Simply put: FitLab has been life-changing.

I joined FitLab at a time when I was at my heaviest — feeling sluggish and out of shape, with a chubby face and a rounding belly.

I’ve always been into fitness, understood its benefits, even worked with PTs before, but I was never consistent or accountable. I knew a lot, but I didn’t really know how to apply it.

The first learning curve was truly understanding calories. It sounds simple, but once I started weighing my food and seeing how much I was really eating, I realised I didn’t know as much as I thought.

The next was simplicity. A clear, straightforward plan for both training and food worked so much better than overcomplicating things with unnecessary exercises or restrictive diets.

The biggest shift was consistency, which only came through accountability. That was possible because of two things:
1. Chris gave me complete confidence in his ability to deliver.
2. Most importantly, I trusted him fully.

That trust allowed me to immerse myself in the FitLab programme. Without it, I would never have achieved the results I did. Chris gave me his all, believed in me even when I didn’t, and because of that I was able to give it everything too. The proof is in the pudding — two shoots, with the second even better than the first.

Chris leads his coaching programme by walking the walk. Not just in his online presence, but in how he lives his own life. That authenticity shows in the content he creates and the way he coaches.

The results? Life-changing. Abs. Confidence. Strength. Mental clarity. Stress management. FitLab has improved every aspect of my life.

Chris — thank you!

I have been at FITLAB since August 2024 and seen some big changes along the way with so much more to come. In just over a year I have become both physically and mentally stronger, through a solid structure, a balanced routine and high accountability.

I have mainly worked with Chris throughout my time at FITLAB. Chris provides a great deal of information at any given time whether that would be nutritional, gym related, social events etc.
We also get a very in depth response from the weekly check ins allowing us to set our goals for the following week.

My goal started off by laying the foundations, getting the basics done weekly before I entered the process phase in which I dropped 9kg. I was very lean at this stage and Chris got me in a really good spot by getting in 3 full body workouts a week following by 2 runs. This allowed me to train more as a Hybrid. I am currently working towards the performance phase as I get back to maintenance calories in the peak phase, this will eventually allow me to put the calories to good use!

FITLAB is a way to get yourself in shape but also to stay in shape in all year round whilst still having a good social life👊

So I got in contact with Chris a couple of months ago, as a lorry driver, I was unsatisfied with my appearance and my overall health.

I’ve been working with Alex for about 2 months now and the changes have been overwhelming. I’ve lost weight, got more toned.

They regularly keep in touch with me to keep me on track. They’ve taught me so much about nutrition and different ways of exercising that blew what I thought I knew out the water, and they did it with facts and figures

I regret not starting this sort of journey sooner in life, but they’ve made me fitter, faster, stronger and leaner than ive ever been

Could not recommend these guys anymore

This isn’t like any diet you’ve tried before.
Chris has given me a structure, a clear plan, support, and a belief in myself that I can have the physique I thought only other guys had.
The meals Chris gave me are surprisingly tasty for “diet foods”, are easy to prep and the volume is decent. I’ve actually learned about nutrition and I’m better equipped to make more informed decisions for life now.
Chris made himself available for a WhatsApp or video call “nudge” when it suited me, and I love the app for tracking data/ progress.
I feel like a new man thanks to Chris, and I’ll be forever grateful!

Have worked with FitLab for almost a year and what an absolute game changer! I am currently 20kg down I’ve gone from a size 14 to a size 8!! I have tried every fad diet over the last 20 years which obviously never works, but since joining fitlab I have gained so much knowledge that it is now just a way of life and a way of life which I really enjoy! I am 40 next year and my aim is ABs something I never dreamed off after having 2 kids. But I know I will get that staying with fitlab! Matt has been amazing always there to guide me!!

The only negative is, it will cost you a fortune in a new wardrobe ;-)

Couldn’t recommend more!

I’ve been training with Chris and FitLab for over 2 years now. In that time I have lost over 25kg and can say with certainty, not only am I in the best shape of my life at 33 years old, but I’ve also never been fitter nor felt better.

Not only does Chris and FitLab provide the knowledge, accountability and nutritional expertise but they also clearly show how to make this a way of life and not just an intensive burst that results in relapsing into bad habits.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Chris and FitLab.

I’ve been with Fitlab since sept 2024 and never looked back. Turning 40 and not in good shape, I realised I needed to make changes not only because I wasn’t happy with how I looked but because where I also have a physical job the day to day aches/pains and fatigue was affecting me.
So I reached out to Chris at fit lab to see if they can help, we started my body transformation in sept for 16 weeks and every week I Had great results while eating the foods I actually enjoy.
The whole programme is very tailored to suit my life and made very simple to follow with training and nutrition.
I actually can’t believe my final results I now have visible abbs which I’ve never seen in my life, I look and feel the best I ever have and no more aching/fatigue and a lot stronger.
I’m a very particular person and done my home work on Fitlab before signing up, I defiantly made the right choice and would highly recommend Fitlab to everyone.
I feel this is going to be easy to maintain with my new mindset and knowledge.
Looking forward to the next stage building muscle.
Thanks again to Fitlab 👏

Just wanted to post how grateful I am to Matt & Chris. Joining Fitlab was never just about looking good for me (although it’s a huge bonus 🤣). At 50, I wanted to focus on my future self and make sure I kept myself fit & agile as I get older.
Throughout my journey so far, Matt has coached me through deficit, reverse diet, constant travelling, two injuries and more recently two endurance challenges I set myself. To say that there have been continual moving goalposts is an understatement.
I have learnt so much about my body & nutrition & how to fuel myself appropriately. Matt has taught me that it’s ok not be perfect and when I’ve hit a wall, he’s kept me balanced, rational and most of all completely consistent. His advice, check in’s and regular what’s app messages have been amazing and his voice of reason has always seen me through and kept me on track.
I’ve completed a photo shoot, reduced my cholesterol significantly and completed a challenge last weekend I would have never dreamed possible. In 4 days, I hiked the three peaks and cycled a total of 180 miles between each one of them to get from Ben Nevis in Scotland, to Scaffel Pike in the Lake District, to Snowdon in Wales and then back to my home town in Wolverhampton. As part of a team of 25, we have raised over £40k for a local hospice.
If someone would have told me, 12 months ago that I was even capeable of this, I wouldn’t have believed it.
Now looking forward to a holiday and then ready to build some muscle in September 💪💪
Thanks Matt & Chris for everything.

I have been with FitLab for nearly a year now and it’s fair to say since joining, my life has completely changed for the better.
I am 38 years old and now in the best shape of my life just by following the simple diet and training program. It’s like I’ve been handed a cheat code to get into shape and stay there. I am coming to the end of my one year sign up but I am confident that I now have the knowledge and habits to stay in shape for the rest of my life. This was the greatest investment I ever made, there’s no price on your health. It has made me mentally stronger than ever and I’ve still been able to enjoy holidays, family parties, eating out, etc throughout the whole process. Whatever your reason is to get into shape or you want to learn how to live a healthy lifestyle for the rest of your life then I can only recommend you join FitLab.

I have been working with Chris from Fitlab since November 24. The whole process so far has been excellent!

Chris listened to what I wanted to achieve, and also advised on additional goals that he thought would benefit my “fitness journey”. There was no pressure, and from the outset I felt comfortable with his knowledge, experience and his personal and bespoke approach to fitness.

As a busy 44 year old dad of 3, I needed a sustainable programme that I could follow not just in the short term but for the foreseeable future. Chris has guided me through an initial scientific based 12 week fat loss programme, this was structured and actually enjoyable!!! I got down to my lowest body fat %age in years (10%) and was still able to attend social events and holidays! Chris ensures a level of accountability that I have not had with previous trainers, and concentrated on both lifestyle and my mentality, which have both significantly improved as well as my physique.

Following on from the “diet phase” we worked on a reverse diet and building phase, and I am now at a point where I am eating lots of food and maintaining my best physique…….I am still the leanest Inhave been and get compliments from friends and family on a daily basis. I have learnt so much from Chris re nutrition along the way, and how to manage my diet.

I train 4 times a week, with progressive overload, and Chris checks in multiple times a week and alters my programme accordingly, depending on my upcoming holidays / performance activities etc.

Honestly, one of the best things I have done to get fit, feel healthier, and improve my wellbeing! Would strongly recommend to anybody who is serious about getting into the best shape, and mindset, of their life!

Really happy with the results so far – 10kg down and feeling great

Working with Chris over the past five months has been a really positive experience. I’ve lost 10kg, even with a busy schedule and lots of work travel, and I’m feeling more confident and connected to my body than I have in a long time.

Chris has been supportive, knowledgeable, and consistent throughout the process. His approach is realistic and tailored, which made it possible to stay on track even when things got hectic.

I’m really happy with where we’ve gotten to so far, and now I’m looking forward to the next phase — staying lean while starting to build more muscle. I’m excited to see how things progress from here.

Thanks again, Chris — looking forward to what’s next!

From the first moment, Chris and Matt made me and my wife feel welcome. They showed us exactly what to do and explained everything so it was simple to understand. I requested unrealistic results (I thought), and yet Chris and Matt didn’t flinch; they just showed me how to achieve them. As a busy father of three beautiful children, I was frustrated that I trained hard but didn’t have the physique I wanted. I was desperate to get the results I’d always wanted, and I put my faith in the Wright brothers, and they delivered.

I signed up for a 6-month program with a photoshoot halfway through. I started in a calorie deficit with an easy-to-follow meal plan and then a prime phase for the photoshoot. Then I reverse-dieted and went into a growth or bulk phase. I achieved fantastic results, got the six-pack I always wanted, along with boosted energy levels and better digestion. I’d recommend FitLab to anyone wanting to make a change and get in the best shape of their lives!

I started working with Chris in June 2023, after years of feeling uncomfortable in my body.. not feeling like I looked as I should for the amount of exercise I was doing. I felt I had a great deal of knowledge and understanding but I was unable to link all the pieces together in order to transform my physique. My goal as a 40 year old mum of 2.. was to be lean, strong and healthy!
Well fast forward 9 months with Chris’ guidance, accountability and knowledge I had hit my target weight .. but more importantly that that, I was stronger, fitter and healthier. I continued to work with Chris until I had the confidence to go it alone.
Chris has taught me the importance of consistency, nutrition, hydration and that you don’t have to spend everyday in the gym. I have a morning routine which I now look forward to and new habits which will stay with me for ever. I now easily hit a protein target of over 120g a day which as a vegetarian has always been hard for me and I have a good balance of weight training and cardio.
Most importantly I am happy, my body has transformed.. I now wear the shorts without a second thought! Chris has been amazing and I couldn’t/wouldn’t have done it without him. The accountability, weekly check ins, the voice notes.. the messages.. he is always there and the biggest supporter!! Thank you Chris!!!
