Sam Laurence Coaching Reviews 17

I worked with Sam for a year, and it was genuinely one of the BEST decisions I’ve ever made. I’m now the strongest and fittest I’ve ever been and have maintained under 10% body fat consistently. Sam’s coaching gave me the structure, knowledge, and accountability I needed to achieve results I never thought possible! No regrets whatsoever, investing in your health with Sam is an investment that pays off for life.

I couldn’t recommend Sam enough. He totally transformed my body. I have always been super fit but couldn’t shift the weight. I work in the food industry so Sam helped me navigate my way day to day. When you are surrounded by food all day it is super hard but he taught me what to eat and what to try and avoid and most importantly portion control. We didn’t limit anything I ate, I still had two sugars in my tea and a chocolate bar a day to ensure I didn’t go and binge as I have a sweet tooth. I also love a wine so we discussed ways for me to still go out and be social while achieving my goal. It has been over a year since working with Sam and I haven’t put on any weight as still use his method daily. If you’re thinking about it… DO IT!

I contacted Sam to help get me in shape for my wedding.

I have been a fairly regular gym goer for the past 5 years (training 4 times a week regularly) however have consistently not seen the level of results that I expected with the effort being put in.

Sam was awesome right from the start, and really focused on building a training / nutrition plan that worked around my work schedule and lifestyle.

What I loved was that unlike most trainers, this was achieved through an iterative process over the first few weeks and not a simple “here you go, stick to it” plan which may not work long term and result in poor levels of adherence.

Sam’s knowledge of nutrition and exercise is unparalleled. In the past I have always dieted and exercised too hard resulting in burnout and loosing a lot of muscle as well as fat. Instead I have swapped high intensity cardio work outs for steps, found a diet I am happy with and can continue with ease into the future and get 4-5 workouts in each week without any burnout.

I’m currently 3 months through the plan (out of 4) and already I’m in the best shape of my life, having already surpassed the results I was hoping for at the end.

I honestly couldn’t recommend Sam more to anyone needing some expert advice to achieve their goals - not just aesthetically but from a general health point of view.

The diet hacks and range of exercises have kept this process interesting and will be easy to put in practice going forwards.

Be prepared to listen and work hard and you’ll see the results you have always aspired to!

I came to Sam thinking that I’m healthy enough and not sure what the doctors are worried about. I’m slim and eat well but after working with Sam for over 6 months I’ve managed to reduce my weight by 8 kg, significantly lose body fat and bring my cholesterol down to normal levels thereby not requiring me to take any statins. Sam is incredibly knowledgeable and an amazing coach. His goals for you are realistic and he is very adaptable to your own personal circumstances. I’m glad I found him and probably owe my life to the changes he has been able bring about in me.

When I initially found out about SLC and the work they do it sounded too good to be true in all honesty but having seen all my friends work with him and highly recommend Sam, I gave it a go.

From the get go Sam made me feel heard and very comfortable. Once we had a few conversations Sam was then constantly there almost everyday making sure that I was okay and putting me at ease when it hadn’t gone to plan.

I feel that Sam has this incredible belief in everyone that they can get there no matter what the situation and that rubbed off onto me. His confidence in me gave me so much peace of mind too.

I have to say his deep understanding for nutrition and mindset have been so powerful in my journey and something I’ve not encountered before with other professionals.

For anyone reading this and wanting to work with someone who cares and actually knows their stuff then I would say Sam is the best in the business. There is a reason why people come to him and I’m so glad I did!

Working with Sam has been a transformative experience for my health and wellness.

After an injury, I wasn’t sure how to maintain my fitness, but Sam adapted my coaching to suit my new circumstances. I never thought it would be possible to stay in shape through diet and mindset alone. Sam helped me identify and challenge the negative beliefs and patterns that had been holding me back. This shift in mindset has allowed me to develop a much healthier relationship with both food and exercise, while still achieving the physical results I was aiming for. Most importantly, I’ve learned how to eat in a way that keeps me satisfied, without feeling deprived or hungry.

I’m incredibly grateful for Sam’s guidance and feel more confident in my health and fitness than ever before.

I’ve since recommended Sam to friends who have struggled with weight and body image, and it’s been amazing to see them rediscover themselves in a healthy, happy way.

Working with Sam has been incredible! Very impressed with how detailed yet straight forward Sams approach is. Remarkable results with some small changes and tweaks. Feeling better both physically and mentally. Would highly recommend Sam!

Absolutely loved working with Sam! His knowledge and attention to detail is second to none. I’ve learnt so much about nutrition in such a short space of time and he’s made a goal which I previous thought was complex, very simple. I felt like myself again on my wedding day after a very stressful year! Would highly recommend Sam to anyone if you’re ready to improve your life.

Sam has quite simply changed my whole outlook in health and fitness. As someone who has been plagued by body dysmorphia and major insecurities, working with Sam has been a breath of fresh air.

I first saw Sam’s work in social media and curiosity got the better of me so I reached out. We had a long conversation about what it was I wanted to change and shortly after we were well into my fitness plan.

This journey wasn’t just for vanity, but sanity too and I couldn’t be more thankful for his guidance and expertise. He has taught me the importance of understanding nutrition and not paying too much attention to the numbers on the scales which was a big weakness of mine.

It’s so hard not be cliche but he has well and truly changed my life. I felt like my best self and I finally had control over my constant internal battle about my appearance.

Sam’s goals can be challenging but I love that and he always pushes you, because he knows you can do it. I have had so many people reach out about Sam as his approach differs massively to your stereotypical nutritionist.

Where I used to restrict myself on chocolate, Sam is there literally telling me to have it ha! It’s all backed by science and the funny thing is I actually look great for it. The feeling I have is priceless and there is no better investment to make for yourself than your health.

The best, would send anyone his direction!

Having worked with Sam over a year, he has helped me gain a great understanding around nutrition and how this impacts weigh loss. Sam has taught me to how to understand my body and the different types of food it needs to function effectively.

Sam's ability to breakdown and explain the process of weight loss have given me the perspective of it not being a diet at all but subtle changes to old habits and this has really made the whole journey a lot easier to navigate.

Having Sam at the end of the phone to answer any questions or concerns whenever I needed was such a relief as I had tried for many years to lose weight with no joy. With Sam I have lost 30kg and I have managed to keep the weight off! This is down to the education component at SLC.

I cannot thank Sam enough for all of the help that he has given me, despite not sticking to all the goals we had set and defying the advice from time to time. But having Sam there to guide me through the defiance has most certainly paid off.

Working with Sam has been incredible. After many years of having poor nutrition, being completely scared to have food and not looking after myself properly, I knew I needed to make a change. So at 34 years old I decided to get some help and that’s when I found Sam.

Sam made me feel very comfortable straight away which helped me open up about the issues I was having, including the struggles I had with alcohol and my body image. From there he knew exactly what to do to help me become a healthier version of myself. Both physically and mentally.

San is very detailed which I like and together, we set short term and long term goals, we had calls every week and we spoke almost every day. Even within the first few weeks I started to see drastic results both in my physique and my mental health and I was starting to look and feel healthier in myself than I had done in years.

I was so impressed with Sam’s strategy and implementation and how I responded so well to that. The remarkable thing is that the simple changes he made had such big impact on me. Probably the most noticeable difference was that Sam was helping me have more food and I was looking and feeling so much better for it.

Six months later I am the happiest I’ve been in years and it’s all down to SLC. The daily messages, the motivation and Sam’s unwavering confidence in me have helped me get here. Even after finishing I still implement what he has taught me. My relationship with food has been healed and I love that I can enjoy food in its entirety. Plus look great too!

Personally this journey was not just about looking better. It was about healing my relationship with food and making sure I had a nutritionally balanced lifestyle that moved me away from spiralling into an eating disorder. This journey has been so pivotal in my life and it’s all thanks to Sam. I cannot thank him more for how much he has changed my life.

Working with SLC has been an incredible experience. I came across Sam and his work through social media and straight away I wanted to know more. I am an experienced coach and have worked in the industry for over 20 years, covering private gyms and personal clients.

However, after following Sam for a while I decided to reach out to see if he could help me learn more and become an even better coach. After our initial call I was immediately filled with confidence! Sam has this magnetic personality that you just naturally gravitate towards.

We started working together shortly after and it’s been six months so far. I can hand on heart say that Sam has made a huge impact on my education around nutrition and my approach towards my own clientele. It’s been quite amazing actually.

Despite being in my 40s, an exhausted mother of two and a business owner, Sam has seamlessly given me an incredible depth of knowledge and new found confidence. The advice he gives is gold dust and within minutes of speaking with him, my mind is put at ease.

The big difference here is that he cares so much and always goes over and above. I cannot recommend Sam highly enough. He is an exceptional coach, mentor and nutritionist and far surpasses anyone I have worked with before. Thank you!

Working with Sam has been incredible. After my weight fluctuating throughout my 20's and then after having my baby in my early 30's, I felt completely lost. I didn't recognise my body and didn't feel like myself at all.

I remember saying to Sam on our first call, I don't want to be that self conscious mother who doesn't want to run after their child in case her love handles fall out. But that is now a fear of the past.

With Sam’s kindness, support, understanding to daily pressures and constant advice, I feel back to me again and even better, I now weigh less than on my wedding day!

I still can't believe it and all without stepping foot into a gym. The knowledge Sam has shared has changed my attitude towards health and fitness and this has not just been a diet, but a complete lifestyle reset.

Yet strangely I look back and think how easy it all was and I still can't believe that I have Haribo and chocolate everyday but still fit into my jeans. Thank you so much for every message and pep talk when I needed them most. I will miss them.

Having worked with Sam for the past year, he has changed my life and I could not ask for a better professional. His incredible depth of knowledge, his passion for health and fitness and the way in which he articulates himself, to simplify the complex nature of nutrition, has been invaluable.

Sam is the kind of person who has a glass half full mentality and the work he does, comes from a passion to see people become better versions of themselves. I have never met anyone with such depth of knowledge but deliver it in way that I can understand.

I have a partner, I work full time and our son is 18 months old. Naturally life is busy but in the time we have worked together, I have surpassed my goal and my mental health has dramatically improved too. But looking back, it was so much more manageable than I had anticipated and my only regret was not starting sooner.

Sam eventually pushed me to take the knowledge he taught and move forward without his guidance. He explained that he wouldn’t be doing his job correctly if we continued working together after a certain point, as part of the coaching is educating you on how to do it by yourself.

When I first spoke with Sam, I asked him what he could do for me, to which he said he would change my life. Naturally, I was skeptical. Fast forward a year later and I can safely say that he has done just that. I could not recommend Sam highly enough.

I have had the pleasure of working with Sam for the past couple of years, and I can confidently say that he is an exceptional coach. From the very first meeting, it was clear to me that Sam is passionate about helping his clients achieve their fitness goals and to lead healthier lives.

Sam has a profoundly deep understanding of health, fitness and overall wellness. But applies it in a way that makes it manageable and realistic while being suited to my life. But what really sets Sam apart is his completely bespoke approach. Regardless of where I am and what I’m doing he tailors everything to make my life easier.

Sam’s positive attitude always shines through and this helps massively with regards to keeping me going and staying engaged. He has a genuine belief in your potential and always celebrates improvements no matter how small.

What I was most taken back by was the level of professionalism. Sam is always punctual, well prepared and respectful the entirety of the time. The results speak for themselves and with Sam’s guidance, I have genuinely seen significant improvements in my health and fitness while adopting healthier habits.

The progress I have made with his continued support and can do attitude really have been transformative and if you are looking to achieve your health and fitness goals and actually change your life, I wholeheartedly recommend Sam. Thank you mate!

I recently engaged with Sam Laurence for a personalised coaching programme to improve my dietary habits and aid in weight loss. Initially, Sam sought a partnership with my directory/concierge business but later persuaded me to become a client for his coaching services. The agreed-upon term was a four-month programme at £1,800.

I proposed a payment schedule to accommodate my cash flow, paying month by month. However, Sam insisted on an upfront payment for the first two months, with the third and fourth month’s payment due at the end of the first month. I reluctantly agreed to this. Yet, as we neared the second month (which was already paid for), I experienced a slight delay in payment for the remaining two months due to a late payment from one of my clients. I communicated this to Sam, hoping for some understanding and flexibility given the circumstances.

Regrettably, Sam's demeanour shifted drastically from being a motivational coach to being solely money-focused. He refused to continue with the coaching until the complete payment for the remaining months was made, despite the second month being already covered. His unwillingness to provide any leniency or comprehend my situation, especially in these challenging times, was disheartening. The communication thereafter centred solely around payment, which felt quite unprofessional and lacking in empathy.

In light of this experience, I find it hard to recommend Sam Laurence Coaching. The financial rigidity and lack of understanding significantly soured my experience with Sam Laurence. While the coaching industry may require certain financial commitments upfront, a level of understanding and a client-centric approach are equally vital for fostering a positive client-coach relationship.

This account reflects my experience, and I believe potential clients should be cognizant of the financial rigidity and lack of understanding I encountered before deciding to engage with Sam Laurence Coaching.
