Since I can remember my exercise plans have only ever focused on my cardiovascular fitness. So although I would lose weight, I had always really struggled with toning up and becoming stronger. I found it difficult to know where to start with weights and I was really intimidated by the weights area of the gym and all those machines! My weekly 1-1 sessions with Ian have been INVALUABLE!!! Within 10 sessions I felt so much more confident, stronger and healthier. Ian has helped me to understand what I needed to do to get leaner and stronger (but still keep a feminine figure!). He knows what my limits are and makes sure that I always push myself as hard as I can to get the best results. I’ve trained with Ian now for over two years, including during lockdown! I cannot recommend him enough. He is patient, professional, kind and informative. Definitely give him a go!! …

Ian is an incredible trainer and I cannot recommend him enough! When we began training I wanted to change my body and improve my fitness, all of which we have a achieved, what I hadn’t banked on is how much my attitude and outlook on life would change too! I am happier, healthier and fully supported by an excellent professional who provides variation through consistently fun and challenging workouts. Thank you so much, Ian! Would not hesitate to recommend training with Ian to anyone!

A really good trainer, top marks from me!

Ian is a great trainer and provided support and guidance to achieve my goals. He also gave me the skill set to continue training once our sessions ended. He always worked you hard but made sure that the sessions were enjoyable as well pushing you to your limits. I would highly recommend Ian as a personal trainer

The advice and helpful tips Ian has given me for core toning and strengthening exercises have been brilliant. He took into consideration existing health problems I have when giving advice. Would 100% recommend him for personal training and gym support!

If anyone is looking for a personal trainer in or around Hemel I have no hesitation in recommending Ian Desmond from Masterplan Fitness. I have been working with Ian for the last 8 weeks to get me fitter, lose weight and build muscle mass all of which I am achieving. Ian will tailor your programme based on your goals and lifestyle. He helps with nutrition and makes sure every session is different whether it be in the gym or outside, weather permitting. Masterplan Fitness is based out of The Gym on Jarman Park which is one of the cheapest gyms in Hemel. He has flexible times for sessions (early mornings right through to evening appointments). Ian knows his stuff and pushes you to real go past where you thought your limits are. No pain, no gain as they say. The only downside is I have had to jot out a whole new wardrobe from the weight loss 🙂 Seriously though, if your contemplating taking the jump and getting fit, lose weight or get ripped ready for next summer then give Ian a shout

Love my 1-2-1 training sessions with Ian. He pushes me every session to deliver my best. The sessions are varied to keep me motivated and engaged. I don’t think we’ve done the same routine/workout since I started training. I’m so much stronger than I was when I started. My goals have moved since we first started working together and I know Ian will help me achieve them all. Take the plunge, send Ian a message and have a trial session. …

Ian is a inspirational, motivational & professional individual as well as a personal trainer. When I was looking for a personal trainer I spent a few weeks whilst working out at the gym watching how all the personal trainers conducted themselves, delivered the sessions & interacted with their clients this to get a better idea of who could offer me the best personal support. I was immediately impressed by the way he knew & understood each of his clients, their requirement & how to get the best out of them. There was none of that personal Trainer ego trip with him. His client based was a wide cross section of men, women, ages, body shapes those who were recovering from illness or injury. Most importantly they were all just treated with equal amount of professionalism with a personal touch by Ian. Ian has now been my personal trainer for nearly 3 years & during that time we have worked on my weight, healthy eating, cardio & metal strength to maintain this all. During this time I have had a few personal issues including to work which have heavily impacted on my physical & mental health. When I’ve achieved success with my weight or stamina whilst boxing or a pair jeans fitting again Ian was also just as very happy that we’ve achieved this as a team. During this time Ian had been exceptional in adapting my sessions & motivating me to stay positive whilst using exercise as a way to be mentally & physically stronger. I personally can not thank ian enough for being so amazing, supportive, motivating & challenging me when I’ve absolutely needed it

Ian always works you hard in the gym but jeeeez

Ian is a fantastic trainer who whilst working you hard, keeps sessions fun. Always come away feeling motivated and that i have achieved something. Ian is always available even if its not your planned session with him, to give advice, answer questions and support you whilst at the gym 🙂

Ian is a great trainer! He made me feel really comfortable during our training sessions since I was not familiar at all with working out! He made our sessions fun and gave me plenty of tips and nutritional advice. When I needed a little bit more motivation he was there supporting me and I know he will still be there in the gym when needed now our sessions have ended. Would definitely recommend him!!

I can’t recommend Ian enough. I have had 1-2-1 PT sessions at the gym and outdoor group Bootcamps with Ian. His sessions are always varied and well planned – He is professional, fun and always gets the best out of you. His Bootcamps during lockdown have been a lifesaver!

In 2 months my entire body and mindset has changed. Going to the gym used to be such a chore, and now I can’t wait to get there after work. Ian has created some varied plans that keep me motivated, supported me every week with our 1 to 1 sessions, and is always available if I have any questions for him. Can’t recommend enough

Ian is a fantastic trainer. He really knows his stuff. The plans and sessions are always challenging and well thought out. Sessions are enjoyable and always manage to have a bit of banter too. Focusing on my bench press, Ian has managed to help my go from 60kg to nearly 160kg!

“New Year, New Start” – isn’t this what everyone says after Christmas? I know I did! I joined the gym in Jan 2017 and went to every class I could possibly fit in. I had gym buddies and we went every week. Work starts getting in the way though and you find the classes start to dwindle away. I made the decision to get myself a personal trainer which is where Ian came in. I signed up with a gym buddy and loved the 8 weeks we signed up for – so much so I signed up for individual 1 on 1 with him and have been ever since. He helped me build up my confidence and pushed me to my limits! I loved the push and could really see a difference to the starting weights and the weights I am lifting now. Ian hasn’t only pushed me to gym 4 times a week (2 with him) but has also massively helped me build up my confidence. On the 6 week challenge I really started to see a difference in my body shape – it showed on my first weigh in. I was amazed at how much I had changed in 3 weeks. I was so happy it gave me the drive to carry on working my butt off! Week 4 I became ill with a throat infection which has unfortunately haunted me now 3 times in the space of 6 weeks so my weight has managed to creep back up. I started back with Ian 2 weeks ago and soldiered through to my weigh in this morning – I had lost the weight that I had gained and have managed to build up muscle again. I’m so happy with everything Ian has helped me with that I’m continuously signing up with him every time my weeks are up! I’m a bridesmaid next year and Ian knows what my limits are so is pushing me to reach my goal – which I know I can do with his help. I would recommend signing up if you want to see a difference not only in your shape but in your confidence too. Gone are the days where I wouldn’t try the machines in case I looked silly trying to work it out! I’ll happily go in with a pair of headphones on and do my plan! Masterplan Fitness is the way forward for me!

Ian is responsible for an extraordinary increase in my fitness abilities. Working with him has been challenging, rewarding and enormously beneficial. Sessions are always created with my likes and dislikes in mind, and the results I’ve seen in terms of muscle gain/tone and fitness levels have been huge
