Personal training in Crystal Palace

Welcome to our personal training services based in South London's Crystal Palace area. Form Fitness is a boutique private fitness studio operated by Coach Iggy and Coach Rob.

We train busy professionals looking to introduce fitness into their lives and meet their fitness goals, individuals seeking to strengthen their bodies post-rehabilitation or address old injuries, and mature clients who want to enhance their strength and mobility. 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,

GET TO KNOW US

ROBERT WILSON

Hey! My name is Rob and I consider myself a specialist in helping clients build strength and mobility.

My typical clientele include:

busy professionals looking to introduce strength training into their lives, but find the typical gym environment intimidating or overwhelming.
those looking to strength train after long periods of inactivity either due to injury or circumstance.
senior clients who are looking to improve their strength, mobility and longevity through exercise.

I want my clients to not only achieve their goals, but to appreciate the process by gaining satisfaction through movements and levels of strength they didn’t know they could achieve. I particularly shine in adapting sessions to clients' unique bodies, and believe that anybody can find the right level of exercise to begin training. The best feeling is when I know a client has walked away from our sessions feeling more positive about themselves and their lives. I tend to encourage my clients to train and do activities outside of the sessions, building their confidence in movement.

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 healthier habits. This should go without saying, but I do not push weight loss on clients who are not interested in it.

My own journey in strength training started as a means by which to manage the chronic pain in my knee I had experienced after several knee dislocations. Through this I developed a deep appreciation for how life changing strength training can be, as well as how to scale exercise to various levels of tolerance. This experience spurned me to become a personal trainer. From there, I have taken a keen interest in developing strength to a high level. My training these days includes powerlifting style workouts, cardio sessions, plyometrics, and playing football. 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.
