TESTIMONIALS
Don’t just take my word for it — here’s what some of my existing clients have to say about their coaching experience.

Laura Holland
“Since starting with Tarrin a few months ago, I have reaped the benefits of his knowledge. Various technical and programme changes have allowed me to hit pr’s in all three lifts, after a couple of significant plateaus. Most notably, the way Tarrin has programmed me has massively improved my confidence, allowing more regular exposure to heavier load, whilst balancing fatigue and recovery.
Beyond programming, Tarrin’s feedback is extremely thorough. I regularly receive detailed video notes, which feel highly responsive and personal. He has lots of new ideas which are backed by evidence and reasoning, and the progress follows.”

“I’ve been with Tarrin since the start of my powerlifting journey and the improvement I’ve made both in and out of the gym has been amazing. Since starting with him he’s managed to help me add considerable weight to my total and has helped me navigate through old injuries and their recovery , and providing me with cues to prevent any new ones from happening. Outside of the gym he’s helped me stay accountable in my nutrition and through this has helped me to be the healthiest I’ve been in a long time.”
Matthew Pond
“During my time being coached by Tarrin I have seen significant improvements in my strength, ultimately leading to two British Junior Records and a 2nd place finish at 2024 British Juniors. Tarrin combines his strong attention to detail with his timely and accurate communication to ensure I am optimising my performance inside and outside of the gym. Recently I have been dealing with an injury, Tarrin’s frequent communication and daily changes to my programming have been crucial in the rehab process. I would recommend Tarrin to anyone looking to get the most out of there training.”

“I've worked with Tarrin for the past 2 and a half years, and his passion, skills, and effort shine through in his coaching. Since working together I've achieved a national title, several British records, and been able to represent team GB on the world and European stage. This would have never been possible without his unwavering support, and expert knowledge in powerlifting, programming and thoughtful feedback.
Beyond any competitive achievement and kilos added to the total, the way Tarrin makes me feel heard as an athlete and is able to help navigate very difficult periods of training is the most special asset he holds as a coach.
I'm very grateful to have a coach I can always count on being in my corner.”

“I’ve had the absolute pleasure of working with Tarrin for just shy of a year now, focusing on improving nutrition quality and managing competition cuts. I first approached him for support with an acute weight cut ahead of Uni Euros. Having never done anything like this before, I wanted someone I could completely trust to guide me through the process, and Tarrin was exactly that! From the start, he was incredibly supportive, reassuring, and communicative, making me feel confident and well looked after every step of the way! Even when my busy schedule made tracking difficult or required navigating international travel, time zone changes, and refeed protocols, he adjusted my plan seamlessly, helping me feel relaxed, well-fuelled, and ready to perform at my best during competitions.
Working with Tarrin has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my performance. I honestly couldn’t have asked for better support throughout this journey. His knowledge, guidance, and attention to detail have made every step feel easy, achievable, and enjoyable, even the tough parts. I’m so grateful for his support and beyond excited to continue building into the U76s class with his help!”

“Working with Tarrin has genuinely transformed the way I look at nutrition. He’s helped me rebuild a healthier relationship with food and taught me the importance of sleep and recovery along the way. I first reached out to him after a long cut when I was struggling to manage my macros and find my true maintenance. Over the past six months, we’ve worked through small recomps and controlled surplus phases, allowing me to better understand my body and maintain consistency.
What I really appreciate about Tarrin is that he goes beyond numbers and meal plans. He’s always reminded me that no food is “bad” and that it’s okay to give yourself grace when things aren’t perfect. He genuinely values the person first.”

“Working with Tarrin has truly been a mindset shift for me. After I graduated university, adjusting to life working a full time corporate job with high stress and long days has not been easy. For a while I felt like I lost any control and gaining weight I didn’t want to gain didn’t make me feel any better. Once I started working with Tarrin, I felt like I started a journey to change my outlook on weight loss. He has taught me what a healthy weight cut should be and has helped me steer away from the starvation tactics to get there. He helps me celebrates the small wins (and learn from mistakes) and I wouldn’t be a better lifter without him.”

“I’ve been working with Tarrin around 6 months or so now. Before starting with Tarrin I used to struggle to gain weight and keep it on. My weight used to fluctuate up and down pretty much week to week and be very unpredictable. Now it’s sitting nicely and really predictable and training now feels really good now I’m fuelled properly.
He’s changed my mindset towards food now and no longer see foods as good or bad and one bad meal isn’t going to derail all the progress we have made. I now have a much better understanding of how to fuel my body.
Also helps he’s really approachable and understands stuff gets in the way sometimes and won’t make you feel bad.”
