The Bearded Fitness Guy レビュー 

I had an extremely disappointing and frustrating experience with Rimon as a personal trainer. I purchased two 12-session packs, and in the second pack, after just three sessions, I suffered a rotator cuff injury. I informed Rimon of my injury, yet he insisted on continuing training sessions, even though I was in significant pain and needed time to recover. When I explained that my insurance covered osteopathy, he suggested massage sessions instead, something I clearly said I didn’t need or want.

When it came to the sessions I couldn’t attend due to my injury, he refused to refund the full amount owed. I was entitled to a refund for nine sessions, but he only returned six, claiming that I’d canceled three sessions without 24-hour notice—even though I’d immediately informed him about my injury. I even confirmed via text that he was fine to wait for me to recover before resuming training, but he backtracked on this agreement and used it as an excuse to withhold payment. I have posted images of our text exchanges as evidence.

The injury itself was a result of his reckless approach. He had me perform heavy chest presses on a machine without any warm-up, a completely negligent and unprofessional move for a personal trainer. Despite being a fit and experienced individual, I was pushed too far, too soon, and ended up injured because of it.

Since this experience, I’ve worked with other trainers who have helped me make significant progress safely—something Rimon clearly lacked the capability to do. Additionally, despite raising a complaint with the gym where he was employed, they couldn’t resolve the issue due to him being an external contractor, and he left the gym soon after, making it impossible for me to pursue the matter further.

I would highly advise anyone considering hiring Rimon to think twice. He disregards his clients’ safety, pressures them into unwanted sessions, and resorts to dubious excuses to avoid giving refunds. This trainer is untrustworthy and, frankly, a risk to your health and wallet.

Edit: In response to any attempt by Rimon to downplay his behaviour or shift blame onto me for cancellations, I am providing screenshots of our WhatsApp conversations to demonstrate his aggressive and unprofessional conduct. These messages show him using disrespectful, even vulgar language when responding to simple requests for flexibility due to my injury. Despite my clear communication about needing time off to recover, he repeatedly pressured me to continue training, disregarding the potential harm to my health. He even stated that his other clients continue training despite injuries—a practice that is both reckless and unethical for a personal trainer.
Edit: his confrontational and belittling attitude shines through his response to this review. Firstly, the reason I reposted this review (once) is that he appeals against it to take the review off because he doesn’t want transparency into his potentially questionable training methods. Secondly, why do you have to publicly discuss my choice of training shorts? It genuinely eludes me. Whether I wear a certain brand of training shorts or another is my personal choice, and we live in a free country, not a theocracy. There is no reason for you to address the concerns I raised with your service by trying to humiliate me for my shorts being too tight; the gym allowed me to train with them and it was your choice to train me given my clothing choices. Finally, phrases like “please find something better to do with your time” are not only patronising; they are malicious because the reason I find myself reposting them is that you have appealed to delete it; who knows what kind of falsehood you would have had to tell them since this review does not in principle violate Google’s T&Cs. Take care Rimon. Try not less offensive/aim not to humiliate those who disagree with you about your training methods and lack of professionalism by making their clothing choices a public matter – which doesn’t redeem your unprofessional behaviour: it validates it.

Thanks for your condescending “health” advice and advicr about what to do with my time. If you don’t want my reviews coming through, you can think about refunding me the £150 you owe me, and to stop trying to remove them just because you want a convenient “curated” list of reviews that don’t expose your lack of professionalism

Rimon is a great PT. I’ve felt real progression not just in strength but my understanding of the exercises. The phrase “work smarter not harder” comes to mind when I compare how I approach the gym now vs prior to Rimon.
He’s also a lovely guy!

Rimon has been so enthusiastic, warm, patient and encouraging. He’s pushed me to achieve more than I could have ever done on my own.

The best trainer I have ever had. Rimon is always encouraging, holds me accountible in and out of our sessions, and has completely transformed my mindset and approach to working out.

Very good PT, helps you meet your targets in an efficient and fun manner

I've been having 1-1 Muay Thai boxing sessions with Rimon for about 6 weeks now and I'm loving it! As someone who has struggled with conventional cardio exercises for as long as I can remember and loathes running with a passion, it's great to have found a high intensity sport that I actually enjoy. I'm always at ease around Rimon, who is an incredibly patient instructor. This is crucial for me as I crack easily under pressure and wanted someone who would help me overcome this. Rimon encourages me to push my limits and achieve new heights with each session whilst ensuring I feel safe and looked after. Bonus point is that he actually laughs at my dry and dumb jokes (banter is key). Looking forward to having him turn me into a lean, mean, boxing machine! 💥🥊

Rimon is not only a hard work and dedicated personal trainer, he's one of the most down to earth people you can ever meet. Please take my advice and go to him for any personal training and fitness guidance as there is none better than the Bearded Fitness Guy, you'll see results of your hard work and enjoy working hard all at the same time with him!

I've been working with Rimon for a month and have already seen absolutely amazing results! He has a great person-centred approach to our fitness routine, building our routine around my busy schedule. He is consistently pushing me to achieve my goals and always creates a positive atmosphere in the gym, would highly recommend him for anyone looking for a PT!

Rimon has helped me a lot in feeling more confidence and getting back to my old clothes after the pandemic. I strongly recommend him to support your fitness journey.

I had a partial spinal fusion in my late 20s (6 years ago). The recovery left me fearful of doing any strenuous exercise. I would suffer regular stiffness in my back and hips, back pain particularly in my lower back, and was beginning to experience pain in my shoulders and neck. A physio recommended the best thing for me to do was work with a trainer to build up my overall back and body strength.
I've now only been training with Rimon for two months but in that time so much has changed. He's helped me overcome the fear of hurting myself and injuring my back, and is challenging me to push myself with exercises I really didn't think I'd be capable of doing 2-3 months ago. The idea that I would be lifting deadweights 6 months ago was honestly never a possibility! The back pain and neck/shoulder pain is also gone. It was really important to me that I trained with someone who had an understanding of injury and recovery particularly in backs. Rimon's knowledge really makes me feel like I'm doing the exercises that are particularly right for me. He explains them so I understand which muscle groups should be working at which time.
I already feel so much stronger generally. Sometimes I feel a bit ruined after our sessions but I look forward to the muscle burn now for a sign that something's working!💪💪

I cannot emphasise how strongly I recommend Rimon to anyone looking to improve their performance and/or wellbeing, at any level. In the 10 weeks so far that I've trained with Rimon, I have learned so much about my body, fitness and nutrition, and have dropped over 15kg in the process. This has been achieved sustainably and without any access to gyms, and demonstrates the high level of knowledge that Rimon has, to really tailor programmes for the clients and situations he takes on. On a personal level, Rimon is thoughtful, patient and friendly, and a lot of fun to train with. I was initially skeptical of approaching a PT, but have never looked back with Rimon who has exceeded my expectations. I wouldn't have achieved the results I wanted without him and would encourage anyone thinking of it to just go for it.

My fitness career didn't start yesterday, I being practice martial art since many years, and met many (many) instructors.. since I started to be coached by Rimon my way to approach fighting (in this case kickboxing) changed a lot, and I discovered a technique that I never had before.. he is able to transmit his passion and massive knowledge to others, and push you through even when you have those "low days".. I would advise him to anyone who want to finally start to learn how to proper kickboxing and get better after each session..

Rimon is an excellent trainer, he is friendly and keeps you focussed throughout the sessions. Having a coach so passionate about what he does, makes such a difference to your own energy when training - I appreciate this a lot!

I’d definitely recommend ‘The Bearded Fitness Guy’ to anyone wanting to work on their fitness and especially if you’re up for hitting some pads!
