Reviews

What sets Simon apart is not his work ethic, which is as strong as any trainer Ive ever worked with, nor his innovative approach to fitness What makes him particularly unforgettable to me is his lovability. His warmth. The personal moments weve shared over the years. Hes 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. Simon got me ready for filming on the Fast Furious franchise as well as for Dracula Untold. 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. Hes also a great human and I love working with him. -- Luke Evans
With Simon, I understood that in film, the work and preparation you have to do before starting a shoot is just as important as what happens in front of the camera. The preparation training with Simon is essential for me. Filming a movie is like running a marathon if you dont arrive well prepared at the starting point, you will pay for it at the end. -- Diego Luna
