Client Testimonials

“I read about the success of the fitness programme at healthquest, and saw how people are benefiting. My job is often highly pressurised so it’s great to find a fitness programme that takes that into account, helps you to unwind and gives you more energy.”
Harry Redknapp - Portsmouth Football Manager

The six-week Bodydoctor course left me feeling exhilarated, and absolutely wonderful. My body is so much stronger and toned, and my fitness level has soared. Now I am following the healthy eating programme as well as exercising regularly, I really do feel like a new woman.”
Hillary Arrowsmith

“I was lucky to originally secure the services of Spencer when he gifted a few hours training to a Charity Auction. I was impressed with his expertise and dedication, and have since signed up for a further 2 sets of courses with him. Over a 5 month period I have achieved significant weight loss, increased my fitness and improved my energy levels. Spencer has an ability to focus on individual requirements and brings a necessary discipline and accountability to a training regime. I came across Spencer, by chance, and now, by choice, I am on a continuing maintenance programme with him.'”
John Kennedy, Chartered Accountant

“I am thrilled with the results – I lost one stone in weight and dropped a dress size! The Bodydoctor programme is fantastic, and it really works."
Suzie Phipp

“The Bodydoctor Program was pivotal to a changing lifestyle for both of us. The most significant change was the amount of extra energy we could devote to our leisure activities.”
Ray and Karen Nottage – Freelance Writers

“I initially enquired about having a personal trainer to train me at home as I am a full time Mum, but after careful consideration I enrolled for the six-week Bodydoctor course. Since then I have not looked back - and the results that I achieved speak for themselves. I have lost inches in all the right places, lost three kilogram’s of body fat, doubled my fitness and feel ten times better. I thoroughly recommend it to anyone.”
Suzanne Tarrant-Willis

"I made the decision to enroll for the Bodydoctor programme after hearing lots of positive things about it, and the amazing results that its trainees were achieving. It seemed the ideal programme for me as I wanted to improve my fitness and tone up.  The six week course was wonderful, I found the team extremely motivated and helpful throughout. As well as being lots of fun and very easy to follow, the programme helped me achieve some fantastic results! I  would thoroughly recommend the Bodydoctor course to anyone."
Tracy Daniels

“Since embarking on the Bodydoctor programme, I lost a stone in weight and two inches off my waistline. I could not have done this without the help of Spencer’s excellent team of staff who are all very professional, enthusiastic and friendly. ”
Roy Haydon, 53 - Director, First Choice Cards

“I have thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent at Healthquest and seriously didn’t want it to end. Your fitness and health programme is probably one of the best in the world, and I have to commend you on your choice of staff too.”
Jenny Forbes

“I really want to thank you Spencer for being such a great support, for encouraging me when I needed it. Without your help and expertise this would never have happened. You gave me the hope I needed to make a dramatic change, and I have now lost 2 stone.”
Jane Smith, Wimborne

“Spencer has helped me to achieve a high level of fitness, his encouragement and enthusiasm makes one more confident in one’s ability to strive for greater fitness. I know that without Spencer’s help and determination I would not be as fit and feel as good as I do. At 55 I feel as though I am as fit as I was at 25.”
Joan Hodges, 55

“Spencer has given me a sound understanding of how to achieve general fitness and the confidence in my abilities to continue to improve. He is very knowledgeable about current research into fitness and sports medicine, and he relates this to his training programmes. I know that I would not have achieved my current level of fitness, strength and flexibility with the training programme Spencer developed for me. I think everyone should have a “Spencer” to help them improve their fitness.”
Lindsay Berry, 43

“Spencer has been very effective in devising training programmes to help me achieve my goals. Spencer’s advice has been invaluable at times and I continue to train with him as I feel I achieve significant benefit from doing so.”
Mary. M. Galashan

“Spencer always provides constant advice on all aspects of training, and on a personal level I find Spencer very knowledgeable and adaptable, making him a very comfortable person to train with. He is highly motivated and subsequently highly motivating. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.”
Louise Poules

“Spencer combined a work out programme with the motivation to exercise regularly. The combination of these has ensured I now exercise regularly, eat a sensible diet and I have lost approximately 7kg. Spencer has shown a highly professional approach and a high level of competence, the programme and advice he has given me have been of a first class order.”
Jon Palethorpe

“I have known Spencer for three years and have watched him progress steadily and confidently as a very capable personal trainer, with expert knowledge in nutrition and personal well-being. Spencer has very flexible hours which have enabled him to devise a workable training schedule fitting in well with my lifestyle. I know that keeping a constant momentum with Spencer’s expert guidance and advice, the achievable will become believable.”
Sarah Jane Alcorn Hender, 24 - Fine art student

“Spencer has a professional approach and he keeps himself well informed with the latest research and theories in all aspects of health and fitness. Spencer has certainly helped me to achieve my goal and encourages my progress. Having personal training with Spencer has not only improved my health and fitness, but also my general well being, state of mind and quality of life.”
Jane Wilkinson

“Spencer has given me advice on my heart, the effects of lifestyle on the body and eating habits. After five months the results are encouraging, and the single most important issue had been Spencer’s commitment to my success. He knows when times are difficult and he offers support and encouragement at just the right time. I would not be at the level of fitness I am at today without Spencer’s expertise, confidence and invaluable support.”
Andrew Goord, 38

“Spencer tailor-made three sessions for me a week, which I feel helped enormously because I was committed to do it. It was also great to have the encouragement. My training led to a decrease in my resting heart rate, body fat, and my breathing has also improved. After training with Spencer for the year I feel this has set me on the right path to train on my own.”
Josephine Hazell

“I have learnt from Spencer that it is not only the correct use of equipment that is important but it is also important to ensure you have the correct mental attitude and diet in order to get the most out of training. I have no hesitation in recommending Spencer to anyone who is looking for a personal trainer. I have a lot to thank Spencer for.”
Adrian Coles, 33 - Director

“In the four months that I have employed Mr Cuckney I have seen vast improvements in my general fitness and well being. At times I find it hard, but Spencer gives me the motivation to continue. He changes my exercises frequently so I don’t get bored, and he makes me enjoy my training.”
Francis Meredith

“Spencer is very meticulous in his work and is always encouraging me to go that little bit further. Spencer should be recognised for the UK Exercise and Fitness award.”
R. Cristofoli

“I have always found Spencer to be of good character and very trustworthy, I have relied upon him very heavily for his advice and help. Spencer has always been extremely competent and has looked after me very well; I would not hesitate in recommending him as a personal trainer.”
Mr. Desmond J. Anderson

“Spencer has made me more aware of the importance of my own health, he has advised me regarding my diet and in helping me achieve a healthier lifestyle. At all times the advice I have been given is helpful and accurate, and Spencer shows a comprehensive understanding of cardiovascular physiology, respiratory physiology and he has an extensive knowledge of anatomy.”
Dr Sue J Birch - MB, BS, DRCOG, GP - Chairman New Forest Medical Society

“I decided to get some specialist training from Spencer after I applied to enter the London Marathon. I was so impressed with his attitude and professionalism that I have retained his services and I hope to run the London Marathon again with Spencer’s help. I continue to find benefits from Spencer’s sessions and I am fitter and healthier than before.”
Barry Walthall, 45

“Spencer provided me with a varied and interesting training programme, and he offers encouragement interspersed with the occasional chastisement when concentration shifts from the programme. He has always made it clear to me that he alone cannot provide the solutions for me, so we have worked together on a general life style regime to help me attain my agreed goals. I have almost trebled my body strength and my physical shape has improved considerably. I have never had occasion to feel that I cannot totally trust that my confidences are maintained with Spencer.”
Noel Hayes

“I started training with Spencer about a year ago and two months ago I did a BUPA test with him and was surprised at how much I had achieved in that time. I can genuinely say I have gained so much by doing this fitness regime, but I still need Spencer to push me that little bit harder than I would push myself.”
Elizabeth Walthall

“The service Spencer offers is second to none; he planned a whole training programme not only around my diary, but also my personality. At all times Spencer gave me full and concise instructions on how to use equipment and how it would affect my training. I have found Spencer’s tuition, commitment and attitude to be of an extremely high nature and this is shown by the results he obtains from people such as myself. I wish Spencer all the success and luck he deserves.”
Rod. T. Zachariades - Marketing Director of a large US-based corporation

“I contacted Spencer on recommendation and find his methods stimulating. Spencer has looked at my fat levels, my heart and my strength and flexibility levels, and recent tests have shown improvements to all areas. He is always enthusiastic and I am really impressed by his holistic approach to exercise, his enthusiasm and up-to-date knowledge of his profession.”
Anne Phipp, 48 - Company Director of David Phipp House Furnisher

“I have found Spencer’s knowledge relating to all aspects of fitness, diet, nutrition and exercise has been excellent. He expresses terms in everyday language rather than “technical terms” and he has made me realise that training is a long process, and I should not expect overnight results. This has helped keep my motivation going.”
Mrs. Katie Jones - KJ Associates, Training & Business Consultancy

“I was immediately impressed by Spencer’s serious and dedicated approach, and at all times he remains professional yet approachable. He understands what is required and transmits his interest in your personal achievements in a most acceptable way. I cannot always train with total commitment, but Spencer always encourages me to do something on a regular basis.”
Susan Brookbanks - Area Manager - Abbey National IFA

“It is a year on since I started my fitness programme with Spencer and I have now achieved a level of fitness that I did not think would have been possible. I have now developed a more disciplined approach to my fitness and have integrated fitness into my every day life, without Spencer’s expertise, advice, encouragement and extreme patience; I know I would not have achieved it.”
M. T. Watts - Administrator - Dorset Orthopaedic Clinic

“The variety of Spencer’s sessions keeps me motivated. Spencer is very perceptive and will always make sure I complete my exercise properly. I definitely would not have had the determination to push myself so far as Spencer has pushed me.”
Claire Bowen

“Since meeting Spencer I have generally maintained between 3-4 sessions a week, and I have taken on board that a personal trainer can only do so much; 50% is actually down to the client. Spencer adds new and unexpected dimensions to training sessions, which keeps my mind alert and ensures that interest is maintained. He has provided me with the energy and mind to get through difficult times with renewed strength and vitality. To say that I always look forward to my next training session with Spencer, I think speaks volumes.”
