I started a program with Kristaps to improve my strength and technique. Kris’ knowledge and skill for Olympic weightlifting is exceptional and I always feel empowered and stronger following my weekly personal training session with Kris. His knowledge and coaching has helped me massively not just with my weight lifting technique but understanding the required calorie intake, sleep and other elements which are paramount. Kris has taken time to understand my goals and hurdles and continues to help me overcome these. I would highly recommend Kristaps as a weight lifting coach and mentor to help you succeed and achieve your personal goals.

This is the first review I have ever written and thought I would start with some background. I am 46 years old and have a history of two slipped discs and an associated 10 year legacy of root block injections, epidurals, chronic pain, immobility and lots of painkillers. Immediately before visiting Kristaps late last summer I visited a physio for some help as I was not able to stand up, bend over or lots of associated activities. I was given a print out of stretches and sent on my way. Left frustrated, and no further forward I arranged a session with Kristaps after reading reviews and thought it was worth a try. From a health, mobility and pain point of view, visiting Kristaps is the best decision I have ever made. Kristaps initially carried out some capability and mobility sessions with me before providing a diagnosis that had not been made in the previous 10 years of treatment from multiple health professionals. Following diagnosis, Kristaps designed a specific programme and then carefully and attentively managed my improvement through regular mobility and strengthening sessions. If during a session, something does not look right, Kristaps reacts, carries out specific corrective stretches or exercises and corrects the problem. His ability to identify and correct an issue through in-depth understanding of the way a body should function is excellent. I can now stand up pain free, bend, tie my shoe laces and even carry out things that were not in my orbit before like squat and deadlift! I am thankful to Kristaps for the impact he has had on my life. Overall, my review is that Kristaps is excellent. If any of the above sounds familiar to you, I urge you to make contact with Kristaps, it may change your life.

Kristaps’s knowledge is endless! Not just with Olympic lifting but general mobility, movement patterns, strength, you name it. I’m a PT and Martial arts coach myself so I can spot a good coach. I can say hand on heart he’s the best. I’ve had many injuries and have many imbalances from years of competing and I’ve not had something yet he can’t help fix, work around or give a completely new angle on. Top notch 👌🏻

Working with Kris has been a revelation for me. Problems with mobility and technique that have plagued me for years were resolved in a matter weeks which has led to significant improvements in all of my OLs. His technical knowledge is second to none and it’s always a pleasure to work with him.

I am very happy to have experienced Kristaps as my weightlifting coach. During these 8+ months, my strength has improved a lot. I learned from 0 to the last Snatch 32.5kg, Clean 45kg, jerk 42.5kg. Deadlift 85kg. Kristaps taught me a lot of useful techniques about weightlifting and always encouraged me to push my limits! The best weightlifting trainer in Leicester. If you are looking to improve your overall self by lifting weights, this is a great choice! :)
