Andy Gray first came across PerformancePro when he needed a physio, over ten years ago. The woman who treated him had moved to PP. Andy started training with PerformancePro’s Will McAuley then and hasn’t stopped since. He usually has one or two sessions per week.
We asked Andy what motivated him to start training with PerformancePro in the first place, and whether that motivation has changed over time?
‘I had been using gyms for most of my life and tried various workouts, trainers and approaches. I liked the set up in PerformancePro and decided to give it a go as it felt and appeared more professional and that the trainers knew what they were doing.
‘It’s important for me to be pushed during the session and have a programme that will push me when I train solo. I guess the motivation has developed/ evolved as opposed to changing, it’s also increased as I have doubled my sessions per week.
‘I train at PP for one simple reason, results, I have probably lost circa 10kgs + in body fat, increased muscle mass, become stronger and much better at training. It’s an added benefit that the environment is enjoyable, good trainers, who are fun and its relatively convenient to get to.’
Andy trains twice a week at PP, then 2 to 3 times a week solo,
‘I train 4 to 5 times per week, generally two days on and one day off. I use the trainerize training app to log my workouts and weight, so I can see progress. My training programme is focused on S&C and Will at PerformancePro has been excellent at adapting my programme and making changes as and when I have picked up injuries.’
‘Real Results – partly a surprise. Full credit to Will and myself, Will for providing the programme and its completion. Me for being disciplined enough to commit to it. What I am trying to say is that most gyms don’t deliver and often it’s because the trainers are not as qualified.’
‘The best thing is the one on one training sessions with good equipment and a good atmosphere, it’s both fun and rewarding!’
‘Losing c10kgs + and putting on muscle. Additionally improving my lifting technique and amount! I want to lose another 5kgs and train for a Hyrox.’
Andy is he CEO of a mid-sized Growth Advisory/ Executive Search firm, which he founded 21 years ago,
‘This takes up a lot of my time as I am hands on and travel quite a lot. Outside of work my passion is cars. I love cars, since I was child! I also use to play but now only watch rugby, I have an interest in most sports but Rugby is my favourite. I also love cooking, music, cinema, food and wine and complimenting my training with other activities such as Pilates and yoga. I like the post training feeling and as one of your physios said – motion is lotion!’
