Darryl Edwards in Testimonial

 

I’m currently in the selection process for the Royal Marine Commandos.  Initially I began training for the selection tests and the imminent PRMC (Potential Royal Marines Course) on my own. I began to find myself getting bored with my training and I was always training within my comfort zone not seeing any real results being made.  I received a word-of-mouth recommendation about Darryl and his training, checked out his website and decided to get in touch.  The best decision I have made. 

When I first met Darryl we went through a number of physical and medical tests and also discussed my requirements.  Darryl already had a depth of knowledge regarding the PRMC and the demands of the Marines, which filled me with great confidence. I have always believed myself to be a relatively fit man; however Darryl has shown me a completely new aspect to fitness which I was blown away by.  Being prepared for whatever life throws at you.

I have Darryl for two sessions per week on a one-to-one basis.  Every session is unique I never know what to expect, except that I will be challenged and taken to new limits which I could of never of done on my own, and I am achieving goals I never thought possible. 

With not just the physical programming but practical tips on diet, rest and recovery with the psychological/mental preparation Darryl has put me through; I have passed every RM physical selection test first time scoring highly. On one particular test where I scored full marks a serving Royal Marine commando piped up: “Whatever training you’re currently doing, keep doing it because it is doing you wonders!". 

I now have 3 weeks left until PRMC and Darryl already has me exceeding the maximum physical requirements.

So Darryl a big thank you for your motivation, perseverance and dedication looking forward to the remainder of my training.
