Private Personal Training Studio in Crystal Palace

Form Fitness is a boutique private personal training studio operated by Coach Iggy and Coach Rob, with over 75 five star google reviews.

At our private studio we train busy professionals looking to introduce fitness and strength training into their lives and meet their fitness goals, individuals seeking to strengthen their bodies post-rehabilitation or address old injuries, and senior clients who want to enhance their strength, mobility and confidence. We firmly believe that everyone has the potential to become a fitter and happier version of themselves through exercise, and look to instill confidence in our clients at every step.

We aim for an encouraging and motivating atmosphere in which people can train without the stress or anxiety of training in a commercial gym. We help clients build strength, mobility and consistency in a supportive, non-intimidating environment.

GET TO KNOW US

ROBERT WILSON

Hey! My name is Rob and I consider myself a specialist in helping clients build strength, mobility and muscle. I am particularly good at scaling exercises up or down to meet clients exactly where they are starting from, training clients anywhere from 20 to 80 years old, and from all backgrounds and walks of life. I keep my sessions motivating, goal-focused, and enjoyable.

My typical clientele include:

busy professionals looking to introduce strength training into their lives, but find the typical gym environment intimidating, overwhelming or non-motivating.
those looking to strength train after long periods of inactivity either due to injury or circumstance.
clients over 60 who are looking for strength training, mobility and longevity through exercise (read my article on strength training over 60!).

I want my clients not only to achieve their goals, but to do so in a sustainable, research-led, and positive way.

There are two great satisfactions in my job: when a client achieves a level of strength or fitness they didn't think was possible, and when they realise they have an improved relationship with exercise and their body as a result of our sessions.

I also offer support to my clients outside of the studio in the form of gym programmes, home workouts, check-ins, and food diaries (all available upon request).

Whilst I do help clients lose weight, I do not view weight loss as achievable through exercise alone, and therefore view our sessions as a keystone around which to build sustainable habits. This should go without saying, but I do not push weight loss on clients who are not interested in it.

One of the things that I feel makes me unique as a trainer and particularly good at motivating and establishing a working programme for a wide array of clients, is that I did not come to strength training for competitive or aesthetic reasons; but to strengthen my body to deal with my chronic knee pain which was the result of multiple knee dislocations and surgeries. When I started training and educating myself, I fell in love with the overall process and benefits of strength training and exercise. This experience spurned me to become a personal trainer.

My training these days includes squats, deadlifts, pull ups, calisthenics and running. Going from chronic knee pain to squatting over twice my bodyweight is something I am particularly chuffed about!

IAGO THOMAS

I am passionate about teaching, training and helping my clients achieve their fitness goals. I have experience teaching people of many ages, skills and abilities. Throughout the process of personal training, I always aspire to help my clients develop a positive and long lasting relationship with exercise that they can take with them outside of the studio. Strength, endurance, balance, conditioning and postural imbalances are just a few of the areas I routinely cover in my sessions. I have a history of weight and barbell training but during the last two years I have focused on calisthenics and gymnastic strength training. Moreover, I have played basketball at regional and university level and love to build workout plans for sports specific clients, enhancing their overall athleticism or need for injury prevention. That being said, I believe everyone should and can train their bodies in an athletic fashion with the right regressions and form coaching to help achieve their true potential. Above all, exercise for me has to be meaningful and fun! I always try to add variety and purpose in all movements I take my clients through, helping them to build confidence, consistency and results in their training.
