Rezensionen / Stimmen
He's the kind of trainer that is a true partner, one who not only sets the appointment and counts the reps, but does the workout with you, motivating and challenging you, and engaging in the kind of conversations that leave you laughing and chatting for an hour after your session. -- Chris Pratt Simon has a very strong philosophy, that aesthetic is a by-product of performance. This always made sense to me ... All the information he gives you is easy to understand and sustainable and it allowed me to reach my goals and each time surpass them. He gave me the confidence physically to carry off these roles. He's also a great human and I love working with him. -- Luke Evans Simon is extremely rigorous and diligent: always prepared and punctual. He is unfailingly respectful, careful and kind. He knows when to work hard: he knows when to push a little further; to encourage you out of your comfort zone. He taught me so much. -- Tom Hiddleston Simon, working with you has always been a great pleasure. Not only are you the best trainer but you are also the funniest. You always make me laugh so much and, for the abs, there is nothing better! -- Lea Seydoux If you had told me I'd be in the best shape of my life at forty-one, I would have said you were crazy. Simon was able to achieve that by not only changing my workout regimen, but by changing my entire mental approach to the whole process. From diet and cardio to heavy lifts and recovery treatments, Simon takes great care to push your body in incremental steps rather than vicious shifts in weight or appearance. -- John Krasinski Results come not just from working hard, but from working smart. With Simon's help, I've been able to sustain the highest level of health and fitness through several action movie franchises without injury or misery. I am one of countless others within the entertainment industry who trust him completely. It's thrilling that Simon's proven strategies will now be available to all. -- Bryce Dallas Howard
