TESTIMONIAL:
Vijay has acquired a deep knowledge of strength training and exercise physiology both at an academic and a clinical level through his career at highly rated secondary schools, the SFS and through his extensive training overseas. His insistence on technique accuracy and emphasis on gradual improvement improves client strength without injury risk. His practical knowledge is unrivalled: he “fixed” my tendonitis that multiple doctors and physiotherapists could not resolve. - Francis H
