Focus 4 Fitness

I’ve been going to Rob for a few years now for sports massage,he’s also my run coach,but yesterday was my first visit to him at his new location.On arrival I found his room comfortable,welcoming and warm.Rob was professional and friendly as always,sports massages aren’t the most relaxing but he does put you at ease.My legs were getting increasingly tighter so one of his massages is just what I needed.He also picked up a lot of tightness in my lower back.I won’t be leaving so long before I have my next one this time.Thanks Rob,my legs are feeling a lot looser today.

Winning a place in the ballot for the London Marathon was amazing, unfortunately injury struck and couldn’t even run half a mile, which left me thinking I would have to defer my place. I decided to bite the bullet and enlist the help of a running coach, I wish I had found Rob sooner. Rob was amazing from the start, he never doubted that I would be able to run 26.2 miles. With his help, encouragement and expertise over 18 weeks of training he helped me grow in confidence and made me believe that I would be able to run the distance. I know that without Robs support I wouldn’t have finished my first Marathon pain free and with smile on my face. Thanks Rob!

Recently I ran the Manchester Marathon and if it wasn't for the help and support from Rob Sears I wouldn't have got the results I did. Rob set up a plan for me every two weeks with a zoom meeting to see how my training was going and if anything needed adjusting before I got the next 2 weeks. This is the first time I have followed a plan based on hours and minutes. I have done a few generic plans and have struggled with them. Rob's plans are by far the best as I don't have to worry how many miles I have to run only the time.I highly recommend Rob to anyone for help with any type of running, exercises, stretching programs and definitely for a sports massage.Rob is warm and friendly and very efficient and helpful.Sue

28/11/22 my text to Rob. ‘So, a half Ironman, how hard can it be? I have absolute faith that if anyone can get me round, it’s you. I’ll do whatever I need to’Fast forward to 09/07/23 and it turns out that a half Ironman is bloody hard, but my faith in Rob was not misplaced! I am an Outlaw.My belief in myself was tenuous at times, but with his consistent support, meticulous planning and uncanny ability to smell bulls*** at a 100 paces, not to mention his unwillingness to ever give up - and we smashed it!I believe that Rob invests in his athletes and gives something of himself to all of us. He always makes you feel like you’re his only focus and you have his undivided attention and commitment. Honestly, you could not ask for more.I have cycled and run before but we both knew that swimming, at all, never mind 1900 metres in open water, had the potential to be a deal breaker. I have read back through all our messages and can’t quite believe that I was struggling to swim 25 metres in a pool at the beginning of the year. If Rob was concerned, you’d never have known it. Yes, he did give me some pep talks and tough love, but that’s what I needed to break through my self imposed barriers. It worked. He listened to my excuses, explanations and whinging and cut straight to the chase, every time…which can be bloody annoying, but was exactly what I needed.Messages like ‘we do not quit’, ‘we will conquer this’, ‘ trust the process’ are not trite platitudes. It’s the absolute sincerity with which Rob says them that motivates, encourages and enthuses.This has been an incredible journey, both physically and mentally and I would 100% do it again. Rob was integral to it and I can’t thank him enough. ‘It’s all good’ is his mantra, and he’s not wrong!!

A sports massage is never the most relaxing but it's so necessary. I'd been struggling with hamstring issues so booked in for a massage, no longer at the clinic but at Rob's home treatment room. It was a warm, comfortable and relaxing place to have my treatment. He's not called Mr Magic Hands for nothing and I cannot recommend Focus 4 Fitness highly enough. As advised I will be making this a regular appointment to stay on top of any issues.

Just had my first session with Rob and I really enjoyed it and am definitely feeling it. Looking forward to next week, highly recommend him

First time at the Focus for Fitness new location. Rob is welcoming and friendly as always and the sports massage really does reach the places other massages do not reach.The new location at Rob's home is easy to find and parking is available and free avoiding the trouble of city parking.The treatment room is newly fitted out and warm and comfortable making for an pleasant appointment.Good luck in your new location Rob and thanks again for the advice whilst carrying out my treatment.

I went to Rob with sciatica after being recommended by a friend. I wasn’t sure what to expect but was amazed with the results; after only one session, the pain had gone and I could walk without any discomfort. I found Rob to be really helpful and supportive, he provided me with a set of exercises to work on at home to help maintain and build my back strength/flexibility. I will be continuing appointments for maintenance as recommended andwould not hesitate to recommend Rob and Focus4Fitness.
