I originally booked a few sessions with Linford so I could join my local gym without looking like a clueless 50-year-old, but I’ve ended up going once a week because I love it so much and it’s much cheaper than therapy.

It’s a really calm, supportive place to learn how to get strong. If gyms intimidate you, go and see Linford first. He’s created something really special

Through training with Linford, he has fully reshaped my view, focus and love for exercise and helped me to learn the importance of this for my mental wellbeing. As someone who would start/stop the latest fads, run very irregularly and generally struggle to enjoy exercise of any form, he has completely shifted my mindset with his gentle approach. He tailors each session carefully based on how you are each day, understanding that life throws curveballs and knows just when to encourage you or when you need rest. He is careful in his practice and in the 4 years I have been training with him, I have become significantly stronger, run more regularly than ever and credit so much of general health now to him.
The space he has created at the gym is absolutely beautiful and unlike any other gym environment. Carefully curated, thoughtfully designed - it’s a joy to work out in the space. Linford made me feel right at home amongst equipment that I felt was previously intimidating.
I look forward to each session at CWCW with Linford. Very simply - you won’t find better!

Linford has built a space that’s the opposite of the big commercial gyms — friendly, intimate and beautifully designed. Set against the backdrop of the South Downs, CWCW Studio offers great coffee, music and top‑tier equipment (BLK BOX). The members span all ages and abilities, but the culture is consistently positive — likeminded people who love to train and have a laugh.

Linford covers everything: small‑group classes, 1‑2‑1 sessions, breathwork, mobility and varied, progressive programming. I’ve trained with him for nearly a decade, and his expertise, attention to detail, technical knowledge and focus on the fundamentals have helped me progress session by session, year after year.

Highly recommended.

I started training with CWCW studio because I wanted to start weightlifting and building my strength and it’s been fantastic. Linford is incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable, he works us hard but the sessions are also fun! The small-group workouts are challenging without being overwhelming and the music and bursts of conversation between sets leave me feeling like I’ve had a social top-up too. I can feel myself growing stronger and have a lot more energy. I highly recommend trying a session to anyone who wants personalised training in a welcoming environment. It doesn’t hurt that the studio is incredibly stylish and opens up to the outside too, making it a place you want to spend time in.

It says a lot that I can post this publicly and say: I used to have anxiety and masked this with alcohol or avoiding events, I worried about my heart rate and cardio exercise, and panicked even before stepping onto the gym floor. But thanks to CWCW studio, I’m now confident, fitter and capable of things I never imagined… like dancing at a festival sober without a care! I still have my wobbles but I now enjoy a life of socialising and waking up with energy and feeling refreshed and ready to go. The changes I've experienced are truly life-changing and I’m so grateful for all the support, patience, and guidance I’ve received and can’t recommend this business enough 🙏🏼 Exercise is the secret but the PT who guided me there is worth their weight in gold 👏🏼 so thank you Linford and team!

Linford is a wonderful personal trainer. I am nearly 60yrs old and never thought that I would get into the idea of going to a gym. He is so good at targeting the right exercises for me, not too much to put me off but enough to make me stronger. My body has felt like it is more in control, less of the normal injuries, aches and pains than before. I am very grateful that I his sessions in my life now.

I hadn't been near a gym or any kind of trainer or training for years...if not decades ...but our neighbour mentioned CWCW Studio and Linford to me and after a couple of months of not bothering, I signed up.

It is a totally different sort of gym environment... a calm little oasis on a farm with room for just four people... and Linford is a totally different sort of trainer. He is a mindful, soulful, compassionate human being and spending time working out with him is a truly nourishing experience. We said to him this morning that having found him in 2025 was one of the real bonuses of the year.

I had been looking for a way to work regular gym time into my routine and a friend recommended CWCW studio. The space is beautifully designed, calm, warm and welcoming. The sessions are set up for small groups and to suit all needs. Linford is extremely knowledgable and careful to understand personal needs and goals, and an all round lovely person. He has created a really valuable resource that has become an integral part of my routine.

I’ve been training at CWCW Studio in a small group for almost two years, and it’s been such a positive experience. Linford takes a holistic and thoughtful approach to personal training – every session feels fresh, balanced, and tailored to how you’re feeling that day. The new studio space is a bonus too: relaxed, modern and uplifting. If you’re looking for expert guidance, supportive energy, and an enjoyable workout, I’d highly recommend!

I’ve been training with Linford for a while now and he’s genuinely brilliant. I came in with a pretty vague “I just want to feel healthier and be in better shape” goal, and he’s helped me turn that into something real. The sessions are always varied, enjoyable, and really well tailored to your level. He’s great at working around injuries too. I always leave in a better mood than I arrived. The gym itself is a lovely spot to work out in… and the tunes are pretty good too. Have only good things to say…. Highly recommend.
