PTOX | Personal Training & Small Group Training - Oxford

This place is great! It’s a gym experience with all of the good stuff you would hope for, and none of the scary/competitive/off-putting stuff. I’ve only been going for 6 weeks but already feel WAY better, have gotten stronger and lost weight. Both Shane and Christof are patient, knowledgeable and fun to chat to. They also have an uncanny sense of timing - always giving encouragement right when I need it most. I’ve recommended them to friends and family. My only regret is that I can’t go more often.

Shane and Christof are the best personal trainers around, and I mean that genuinely. They are patient, focused, caring, and incredibly professional. I've been training with Shane for the past two and a half years and have seen, not only my physical health, but mental health improve immeasurably. For personal training that benefits every part of your life, with trainers who are experts at what they do, I whole-heartedly recommend PTOX.

I’ve been working with Shane for several years now and am struggling to find the words to say how great it has been for my physical and mental health.

Shane is knowledgeable, kind, careful, adaptable, and funny. He has worked with me through old sports injuries (hip dislocation, stress fractures, neck whiplash) and new (meniscus tear from gardening, ankle sprain from slipping on ice). For every issue he carefully redesigns his programme for me, taking into account physio recommendations and my own whingeing. Many of these injuries he has more comprehensively addressed than the physio has.

The result is that I feel physically better than I have in years, and always safe and comfortable in the exercises we do. I’m not going to set any world (or even gym) records, but Shane treats me with that level of care and respect. As such, I would especially recommend him to anyone who has felt uncomfortable in gym spaces previously due to disability, age, gender, LGBTQ, etc.

In short—run, wheel, walk, whatever you can do—but do check out PT|OX. It’s one of the best things I ever did.

A really wonderful place to do your training. The aesthetic of the place is gorgeous- which means that it is a pleasure to go there. The atmosphere that has been carefully created is so friendly and down to earth. Christoff and Shane have confidence-inspiring expertise and have helped me so much to work towards my goals. A real gem!

Working with Shane has transformed my physical health. I was hesitant to jump into personal training but knew I needed the accountability. In reality, I got so much more. PTOX delivers on what it promises: a personal, empathetic training experience tailored to your needs. If you have considered small group or personal training, there is no better place you could be!

Christof is quietly spoken but right on the money. Has helped me successfully rehabilitate an injury and improved my strength considerably.
