Testimonials
Wayne Davies Graham AKA Father was a hard man growing up he took no shit from no man....had some very funny, uncomfortable & awkward moments.... directed me into the martial arts at the age of 5; was performing the splits at 4... gave me alot of confidence through my school years. He trained me for the New Zealand Defence Force and helped me get through my injuries with my hips from a motor cycle accident. Now currently in the armed security industry in Brisbane. All this training that my father taught me has led to a positive outcome
​
I Thank-you & love you always

I first came to Wayne express from the United Kingdom playing Semi-Professional football so I was already in good shape, but nothing could prepare me for the workouts I have completed over the last 10 months training with Wayne. I have enjoyed every early morning and every burning minute of pain training with him. I would like to thoroughly thank him for his service and could not recommend him anymore highly to anyone! especially serious athletes and anyone wanting to make serious commitment to Training!

"His knowledge of both exercise science and Newtonian physics, exceeds that of my own education."

Wayne Davies Graham came into contact with me through friends of friends........... After having enough of heavy weights I turned to cardio fitness for weight loss for my bigger clients. Meeting and contact with Wayne has brought new and fresh ideas to my floor work for me and my clients, thus keeping an interest in every class I run. I must be honest to say it has been years since I have felt broken after a workout. The workouts planned for myself and my clients work. I will be requesting more new Kettle Bell workouts for the years to come from Wayne.

As President of the Tech Netball Club, I approached Wayne in early January 1997 to design a pre season program for our members.... The past few years had seen several of our players being injuried at trails resulting in being sidelined for most of the netball season and some being off work for periods. this concerned the committee....Wayne formulated a program which was sent to all our members...... We then asked Wayne to demonstrate (with a member assistance) ...our coaches were more than happy to learn methods of minimising stress and injuries, taking notes and implementing the methods at practice. On a personal level, I had Wayne perscribe a program for me
​Bronwyn Wells - President Wanganui Tech Netball Club
"He laid me on my back and I Squeeled like a ewe as he moved me from one position to the next...Im referring to his one on one kettlebell training"!! ?? The more I moaned and complained, the harder he worked me and in his words "I don’t train women, I train men!". I have found Wayne to be very professional and the exercises totally beneficial, very motivating and worth every minute. I highly recommend him.
​Ally Joy Kane
"Wayne Davies Graham worked as my personal trainer twice a week for five months. When I approached him I was limping along because of a damaged knee... Wayne prepared a program and diet for me he monitored and up dated it reguarly.... The workouts were always demanding. Wayne pushed and demanded.... Working with Wayne was rewarding and satisfying. He taught me to commit myself.... Week fifteen was a significant mile stone for me. I was 14kg lighter and had lost an amazing 35+cm from my body.... I recommend Wayne Davies Graham as a personal trainer to anyone who is commited to looking great

"Confident, clinical and very regimental are terms that come to mind when describing personal training instructor Wayne Davies Graham. At 50 years old going from a size 12 to a size 8 within just over 7 weeks. Had friends on facebook giving comments on noticeable physical changes that had taken place"
"There is a sencerity about this man that separates him from others, and for this reason, am happy to travel from Palmerston North to his clinic at Foxton Beach. I can honestly say by the end of each session
I FEEL DELIVERED!!"
​Sandy Robertson.
"Results have been proven far beyond what I expected. Wayne has pushed me to train to potentials that I never thought I had."
​Christopher Yeo Teng Hwee - Singapore Army
"I came to Wayne to improve my fitness and strength. My work involves riding and training horses to jump. With many weighing over 500 kgs, and a body height of only 5 ft, extra strength would make my job easier. Before Wayne, I used weight machines and was a regular participant in pump classes never seeing any results. Traditional weights hindered the balance of boths sides of my body causing me to become very one sided. This translated through to my horse riding. Wayne designed a kettle bell program to isolate and work the muscles equally therefore allowing my horses to work in both directions. I noticed results within 3 weeks into the program. Fat loss and increase of strength coupled with muscle tone was noticable. I can't recommend Wayne enough for training that actual works....you will leave his sessions hating him but love the results".
​Caitlyn Permberton
A year under Wayne's patient guidance has taught me to count rpm's, reps, calories and heartbeats; it has taught me to drip more sweat than I thought possible. I have also learnt to argue the toss!! I have watched the flab dissipate as the muscles strengthened and have seen energy replace sluggishness.

This is the only plan I've felt motivated with..... Qualities I see in Wayne; Confident. Great knowledge. High skill level .Reliable. Honest. Respectful. I totally recommend Wayne as a personal trainer. I believe he is the best​

"As a coach of the New Zealand Men's Ski Team at the 1992 and 1994 Olympics...... I also appreciated the professional way Wayne worked with the athletes in his charge."​
Matthew McMacarthy - Head Coach, 1st XV Freyberg High School.
This reference is to state that I have been put through the most demanding / varied exercise programme that was possible at this time.In January 1999, Wayne started a cardio vascular programme, with sessions being three times a week, which almost killed me, but it did improve my MOU (what ever that is)! Since starting these programmes, I have had favourable comments from many of my friends who have noticed the improvements in my body composition and general appearance.​

"And they have been the sorest months I can remember". during these months I have achieved more than I could in that amount of time. My clothing size has gone from size 16 to a size 11 and my weight has dropped from 78 to 68kg. I have found Wayne to be a really hard man....A personal trainer who makes exercise fun....expecially when he makes you run up and down those fucking stairs of his" He makes you do things that you never thought possible... A highly skilled man... "Thankyou for everything Wayne expecially for all those fucking stairs and teasers you made me do, which I am still recovering from"​

"Ever since I started this mad scheme of working out under the guidance of this ARSEHOLE my body hasn't stopped aching...... I have been losing sleep and gaining muscle for a couple of months and I dont know why I keep going back for more".​
Yours Sincerely, BROKEN ARSE, G M Fenwick
...."I have struggled with being overweight all my life and have had several personal trainers over the years but none of them had the extremely high level of training expertise that Wayne demonstrates consistently, and his uncompromising deliberate approach is awe-inspiring for me. Wayne's scientifically based format, attitude, perseverance and guidance has led me to find new strengths...... Wayne treats you with respect and he has a gift for developing a deep connection with you. The Kettle Bell training has brought results beyond my expectations and in 6 weeks I have lost 13 Kgs..... Wayne has an enquiring mind and can give no higher recommendation....​
