You’ll work directly with Ivan Young, using the same evidence-based system that helped him reverse diabetes and come back from multiple surgeries. Get expert in-person coaching 2–4 times per month in Twickenham, plus full app-based programming, nutrition support and weekly video check-ins for the days you train alone.
Hybrid coaching combines the accountability and hands-on expertise of in-person personal training with the flexibility and structure of app-based programming. You get the best of both worlds: regular face-to-face sessions for technique coaching, injury management and motivation, plus full support on the days you train independently.

You want to stay active, mobile and independent, but your body does not bounce back like it used to. You will follow a joint‑friendly strength plan that rebuilds muscle, improves balance and protects your back and knees, without needing to live in the gym.
You are juggling work, family and a packed diary, so long gym sessions are not realistic. I design time‑efficient workouts that fit around your schedule, keep you accountable and make every minute count, so you can get stronger, leaner and feel in control again.
You are returning from injury or managing a health condition and want to train safely and confidently. I work closely with your medical guidance to build a progressive plan that reduces pain, restores movement and helps you lift, walk and live without fear of setbacks.
We meet for a no‑obligation 20–30 minute consultation (in‑person or via video call) to discuss your goals, injury history, current fitness level and schedule. From this, Ivan designs your initial 12‑week hybrid coaching framework.
Your customised training plan and initial nutrition guidelines are loaded into the Trainerize app. You get a walkthrough of how to log workouts, track progress, upload form videos and message Ivan between sessions.
Your first in‑person session at PureGym Twickenham focuses on assessing movement, teaching key exercises safely, and setting realistic starting loads so you feel confident and in control.
You follow your structured plan 3–5 days per week using the app. Each week you have a short video or voice check‑in with Ivan to review progress, adjust exercises or loads, and troubleshoot any pain or barriers.
Roughly every 4 weeks you have an in‑person review session to re‑check technique, progress your program, reassess any injuries or niggles, and update your strength and mobility goals.
At the end of the first 12 weeks, Ivan reviews your overall progress and recommends the next step: another hybrid block, transitioning to online‑only maintenance, or increasing/decreasing in‑person frequency based on your needs and schedule.
Choose the level of in‑person support that fits your schedule and budget. Every hybrid package includes full app‑based programming, nutrition guidance and weekly check‑ins, so you stay supported between sessions.
All packages run in 12‑week blocks with the option to continue, switch to online‑only, or adjust session frequency after your review.
Book a free 20-minute consultation with Ivan to discuss your goals, injury history and schedule. He’ll recommend the best hybrid package for you and answer any questions before you commit.

I've been training with Ivan Young from Stay Young PT for over 32 sessions now, focusing on strength and conditioning as well as toning my stomach. I can't believe how much progress I've made in such a short time! When I started, I was hesitant about lifting weights, but Ivan's expert guidance has helped me surpass my own expectations. I'm now lifting heavier than I ever thought possible.
What I love most about training with Ivan is how he makes each session challenging yet fun. There's always plenty of laughter mixed in with the hard work. His positive energy is contagious, which keeps me motivated even on days when I'm feeling less enthusiastic.
Ivan's knowledge of fitness and nutrition is impressive. He's helped me understand how to properly fuel my body for workouts and recovery. The results speak for themselves - I'm stronger, fitter, more toned, and my stomach is noticeably flatter.
If you're looking for a personal trainer who can push you to achieve your fitness goals while keeping things enjoyable, I highly recommend Ivan at StayYoungPT. He's truly helped me stay young and fit!" - Dolly Surti

Ivan is the first personal trainer I have stayed the course with. He has made going to the gym something I enjoy rather than dread, and over time I have grown in confidence, and become leaner and fitter. I chose Ivan to train with because he was someone who had been on his own health and fitness journey who could relate to where I was in life. He was always positive and encouraging, motivating me to persevere. He has helped me to build really positive habits that are enduring, and which mean that I am continuing to get stronger and lose weight. I would highly recommend Ivan to anyone who wants to make a positive and lasting change to their lifestyle, and have fun doing so. - Pam Conway

I was a client of Ivan’s at Stay Young PT for just under a year and I am genuinely shocked and grateful for how far I’ve come on my weight loss journey. Last year I was at the heaviest I’d ever been and finally decided enough was enough. I found Ivan through PureGym, took the leap, and since then he’s helped me lose 12kg which is something I never thought was possible for me.
As a woman with PCOS, losing weight has always been incredibly difficult and I was stuck in a cycle of losing a little, then putting it back on within a matter of weeks. Ivan designed a custom workout plan and calorie deficit tailored specifically to my needs. He didn’t know much about my condition at first but after our first session he made it his mission to research and learn everything he could so he could truly help me. His dedication is honestly insane and his passion for helping clients reach their goals is second to none.
We focused on training 2-3 days a week with a mix of PT sessions and solo workouts. At first the thought of going to the gym alone completely overwhelmed me, but after a month or two of training with Ivan I felt confident going in by myself. Our sessions were always fun and full of laughter and chat and he constantly reminded me that slow, consistent weight loss was the best way to keep it off for good. Trusting that process is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Without his methods and encouragement, I’d still be stuck in the same restrictive diet, binge and “I’ll start again next week” cycle that made me feel so awful in the past.
For the first time in a very VERY long time I can wear clothes I never felt confident in before and I finally fit into my favourite old outfits again. And best of all, I can be caught off guard in pics and videos and not hate what I see! Walking past shop windows or mirrors and having to do a double take like “wow is this really me?” is honestly one of the best feelings in the world.
So if you’re looking for a knowledgeable PT who genuinely cares about you as a person, not just your end goal, and who makes your workouts feel like hanging out with a friend, I 100% recommend Stay Young PT. Ivan, I really can’t thank you enough for all your support!
