Personal training is more than delivering a workout — it’s the application of exercise science to maximise adaptation and minimise risk. In our 1-to-1 sessions, I focus on technical precision, correcting imbalances, improving mobility and range of motion, optimising tempo, and enhancing neuromuscular efficiency. Training is individualised and built on principles of biomechanics, load management, and progressive overload, with structured periodisation to balance intensity and recovery. By integrating movement coaching, skill development, and continuous progress monitoring, I ensure every session delivers the highest return in terms of bodily strength, performance, injury prevention, and long-term health.
What sets this service apart is the integration of training and nutrition. As both a Personal Trainer and Sports Nutritionist, I align your training programme with a personalised nutrition plan, ensuring your fuelling, recovery, and adaptations are optimised. This holistic approach allows you not only to train smarter, but also to perform better, recover faster, and build sustainable habits that support both your long-term health and more immediate performance.
Beyond the physical benefits, personal training provides accountability and structure, which are essential for long-term success. Motivation naturally fluctuates, but consistency is what drives adaptation — and having the right guidance ensures you keep progressing even when motivation is low.
Whether your goal is reducing fat mass, increasing lean muscle, maintaining weight, or managing different phases of training, body composition is a key factor influencing both health and performance. Optimising energy availability, macronutrient distribution, and nutrient timing ensures that changes in body composition support training adaptations, recovery, and long-term well-being.
We provide individualised nutrition plans tailored to your goals and sport-specific demands. By adjusting energy intake, protein targets, and carbohydrate–fat balance, we can support fat reduction, hypertrophy, or improvements in body composition — all while preserving metabolic health and performance capacity.
This approach goes beyond short-term outcomes, with a strong focus on sustainable strategies and behavioural nutrition. The aim is to achieve measurable and visible improvements in body composition while also building healthy habits and a positive relationship with food — ensuring results are effective, maintainable, and supportive of both daily life and sport performance.
We help real people build a strong foundation for long-term health, energy, and quality of life. What and how you eat directly influences energy availability, metabolic health, sleep quality, cognitive function, and resilience to daily stress.
Through individualised nutrition strategies, we focus on optimising daily energy balance, macronutrient distribution, and micronutrient adequacy to maintain stable energy levels, improve body composition, and reduce risk factors for lifestyle-related conditions. Our evidence-based approaches also support better sleep, gut health, and mental well-being — all of which play a vital role in recovery and long-term health.
Beyond the numbers, we emphasise behavioural nutrition and habit formation. The goal is not just short-term change, but building a sustainable, positive relationship with food. This ensures the strategies we create are practical, enjoyable, and lasting — supporting your health and well-being in every aspect of life.
Performance on race-day relies on precise nutrition strategies. The right approach to carbohydrate availability, hydration, and nutrient timing can make the difference between performing at your peak and struggling to finish.
We develop tailored nutrition plans that cover every phase of competition. During the taper, we ensure carbohydrate intake matches reduced training loads to maintain glycogen stores, while in the final 24–48 hours we programme structured carbohydrate loading to maximise energy availability for race day. On the day itself, we design in-event fuelling protocols — covering carbohydrate type and quantity, hydration, and safe supplementation — to sustain energy, delay fatigue, and support consistent performance throughout.
After competition, we focus on recovery nutrition to accelerate glycogen replenishment, maximise muscle repair, and support immune function. The result is a clear, science-driven framework adapted to your needs, giving you the confidence to step onto the start-line ready to perform at your best.
Training effects don’t just result from exercise — they depend on how well you fuel your body. Appropriate energy availability, macronutrient balance, and nutrient timing are essential to maximise training quality, recovery, and long-term performance.
Our approach provides personalised nutrition strategies designed around your goals, sport, and training load. Using nutritional periodisation, we align carbohydrate, protein, and overall energy intake with the demands of your sessions and competition phases — ensuring optimal fuelling for strength training and high-intensity efforts, sustained energy for endurance, and the nutrients required for effective recovery and adaptation.
Beyond performance, we address the key areas that often hold athletes back: accelerating recovery, reducing the risk of illness and injury, and using supplementation safely and effectively. The consequence is a clear, science-based plan that gives you confidence in your daily fuelling, supports consistent training, and prepares you to perform at your best when it matters most.
Xavi is helping me with a nutritional plan to complement my PT programme and I’m fitter, leaner and stronger than I have been in 15 years. I love the informal setting of the well equipped studio space, Xavi is friendly and welcoming and manages to get the best out of you without being overly pushy. The sessions are always different and we have a laugh too. I couldn’t recommend EMS more

I have been working with Xavier for 18 months after I had my baby. He helped me to regain core strength and changed my outlook to fitness, and introduced a mix of strength training and cardio. He is very encouraging and personalised the program to my needs on a weekly basis. Highly recommended!

Started with Xavi in August 2023, being moderately overweight and unhealthy. Xavi soon got me to work, giving me a workout plan, diet plan and a heap of motivation to get into shape.
Within 6 months, I had lost over 15kg, starting to slowly get into a better shape and feel better about myself.
Would definitely recommend Xavi!

The Core Idea “Fuel for the work required” is a simple concept, but it sits at the foundation of effective sport and exercise nutrition. At its core, it means aligning your nutrition with the physiological demands you place on your body. Rather than eating the same way every day or following a rigid plan, this […]
Unlike cars, we don’t have a warning light that flashes when we’re running low on fuel. But make no mistake—your body will let you know. The problem is, most athletes either ignore the signs or don’t recognise them in the first place. Over time, under-fuelling doesn’t just affect performance. It impacts your health, recovery, and […]
Walk into any supplement shop or scroll online and you’ll be hit with bold claims, flashy labels, and promises of rapid transformation. But here’s the reality: Only a small number of supplements are consistently backed by strong scientific evidence. And even more importantly… Most of what supplements provide can (and should) come from a well-structured […]
