Team Stano Reviews 

Great coach and very knowledgeable can’t ask for anymore off Simon as he already gives you he’s all 💪

Have been with team Stano since the early days and couldn’t dream of going anywhere else.

Simon goes above and beyond for his clients and it goes to show in his meticulous planning and care, and ensuring he’s keeping you on track to succeed

I've trained with several coaches and personal trainers over the years, and Coach Simon stands out as one of the most knowledgeable.

I highly recommend booking a 1:1 session. He'll quickly identify what you're doing wrong, correct your technique, and show you how to modify exercises to suit your individual needs, injuries, and goals.

What impressed me most was his depth of knowledge. Its not just about training, but also about how cortisol, insulin, hormones, recovery, and nutrition all work together to improve performance and body composition.

If you're serious about getting results and want to understand the "why" behind your training, Coach Simon is well worth seeing.

I was with team stanno for about a year.
I saw big changes in that time.
Coach has a really goood knowledge base and his team chat provides a lot of entertainment and good nutritional info.

Simon’s passion and knowledge of health and fitness is second to none. He genuinely loves coaching and provides such specific and tailored guidance to his clients. He is always available for any queries you might have and goes out of his way to ensure that you have the necessary info to take your fitness to the next level. You will not find a more dedicated coach!

Have used multiple coaches throughout the year Simon is by far the best one so far. The plan is 100% customised to you I live a very busy life with work and family commitments he has made my plan so it allows me to progress but still recovery enough to grow. No copy and paste diets or workout programs. Easiest diet to stick to as it’s food you enjoy eating. He is constantly learning and doing courses so you get the lastest info to help with your own progress. What coach does sessions with you in person at your gym each training block to put together your next training perfectly suited to you and your gyms equipment not many that’s for sure. Give him a go and I’m sure you will be a long term client I’m been part of his team for over 2 years now

Simon is a very valuable asset to my training and is extremely knowledgeable. Always gives in depth check ins and has time for all of his clients. Would highly recommend

Simon is very knowledgeable is a great coach, gives very informative breakdowns of what is required and what is needed within the next stage of the training block. Simon is also very understanding and very passionate about the fitness and wellbeing industry

I came to Simon in a really bad place, sleep was extremely poor and training had dropped off, diet was missing key elements.
From the moment I reached out and got in contact I instantly knew this guy is genuine and regardless of experience level can relate to what is best for your needs.
Ive been with him for 18 weeks and learnt so much about approach, training, diet, recovery, sleep, everything.
Im down 8kg and made some really big lifestyle changes.
At times I have fallen of plan ut he is so positive and motivating, he actually gives his time to you and explains and guides rather than push anything so you learn along the way.
Highly recommend he not just a coach but a mentor.
I have made more progress across multiple aspects than I have alone or with other coaches.

I've been training with Simon for 2 years now and since day 1 this man has cared about me more than some people I’ve known my entire life.
He takes your lifestyle, your goals, your limitations and just runs with it. He’s helped me navigate the absolute nightmare that can be Crohn’s disease, making adjustments when I’m flaring without ever making me feel like I’m back at square one.
When I started, I thought I knew a bit about training and nutrition. Then I met him and realised I knew nothing at all- His knowledge is genuinely next level.
And on the days where motivation has left the building and you’re running purely on discipline, his programming makes it so much easier. You just have to trust the process and do the damn work.
Couldn’t recommend him enough!!!

I first started working with Simon in June 2024 for six months to get into shape for Christmas. That was a great experience, and I made a lot of progress and learned a lot along the way.

I then took 12 months off coaching, thinking I knew enough to go it alone, but without the accountability and someone closely monitoring my progress, I slowly regressed and was losing motivation. I started back with Simon in Feb 2026 and by April I was the leanest and most ripped I’ve ever been. We’ve since moved into a growth phase and I’m making great progress.

Simon is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. He’s always quick to respond, regularly tweaks my nutrition, monitors blood work and adjusts my training to focus on areas that need improvement, which keeps things interesting.

I highly recommend Simon to anyone serious about getting into the best shape of their life.

Simon is an incredibly knowledgeable health coach. His coaching skills are impeccable, he has introduced myself to weights and I’m very impressed with the physical changes within my body. I feel great from within! He has retaught me about nutrition and have worked out my sensitivities to certain foods. I couldn’t recommend him enough and cannot wait to see how I continue to progress towards my health goals.

Fantastic coach... worked out plans that suited me and my lifestyle, walked me through every step, held me accountable, and provided the required motivation and "pep" talks when I fell off plan... 14kgs down, sleeping and feeling 10x better than I was, more energy, no more constant tension headaches... And it's only the beginning! 💪💪

I started with Coach after spending almost two years yo yoing through a 31kg weight loss journey. I thought I was ready to go into a growth phase, and that’s why I reached out to Simon. Simon reviewed my client onboarding and gave me the hard truth. I still had weight to lose. We stripped a further 16kg off in 14 weeks while still comfortably celebrating Christmas and New Year’s, leaving me in by far the best condition of my life before my first growth phase. This year, we stripped back down to the same body fat %, showing a 7kg increase in muscle.

This year, Coach has helped me stay on track through the challenges and adjustments that came with the birth of my twins and the newborn to 6 month phase.

Simon created custom workout plans around the equipment I had at home so I could continue training from home for a few months after my daughters were born.

The Loom check in videos are one of my favourite parts of the coaching. Since they were introduced, they’ve made the whole experience feel so much more personalised. Watching the Loom while Simon breaks down and explains my check in review, answers the questions I’ve asked, goes over my supps, and explains the next phase is such a great way to receive the information.

Simon is really knowledgeable and really helpful! Really fast and prompt reply’s when answering all my questions too! Highly recommend!

Simon is an extremely knowledgeable, helpful and understanding coach. The type that’ll teach you how to fish rather than just catch them for you. The time i’ve spent with Team Stano has been invaluable to my progress.

I honestly couldn’t recommend Simon from Team Stano highly enough. His knowledge, attention to detail and commitment to his athletes is second to none.

From the very beginning, Simon has been incredibly supportive and professional. He doesn’t just give you a generic diet and training plan — he takes the time to understand your goals, track your progress and make adjustments when needed to get the best possible results.

What I appreciate most is that Simon genuinely cares about his athletes. He’s always available when I need advice, gives honest feedback and keeps me accountable, especially when things get difficult during prep. His experience and understanding of bodybuilding really shows, and I’ve learned a huge amount from working with him.

The results speak for themselves, but more importantly, I feel like I’ve become a much better and more knowledgeable bodybuilder throughout the process.

If you’re serious about bodybuilding and want a coach who is knowledgeable, dedicated and genuinely invested in helping you reach your potential, I couldn’t recommend Simon and Team Stano enough. 10/10 coaching and an absolute legend to work with!

Stanno is the most knowledgeable coach I've ever come across, constantly staying up to date with all the newest research around training and supplementation. He cares personally and will be as dedicated as you are. His plans and his approach are straight forward, no BS. I've been training myself for over 10 years and I still found new things to learn, but more importantly regular reassurance, personal adjustments where needed and that extra edge to get the most out of my training. Whether you're a beginner, intermediate, or looking to compete Stanno has built a supportive community of people and proven results

I have been training for many years and had multiple coaches, but no one compares to Simon and Team Stano. Simon’s feedback is simply like no other. It’s personal and in tune with my progress at all times. Not only do I get a comprehensive nutrition and workout program, I also get the best advise on supplements when I need that additional edge in my training. The Team Stano community is also a fantastic place to get instant help and advice from likeminded people who genuinely ‘get it’ Another great option is Simon’s blood work reviews. Just next level -no one, not even my HRT Doctor provides that level of insight. So, if you’re sitting on the fence about choosing a coach, then your wait is over. Get on board, that’s all I can say!

I’ve been working with Simon for just over 6 months now.

In that time I’ve lost over 25kg while holding onto my muscle mass, which is something I’d never been able to achieve with previous coaches.

The biggest difference with Simon isn’t just the training or nutrition. It’s the relationship he builds with his clients and the community he’s created around them. Having that level of support and accountability has made all the difference.

If you’re putting in the work but not getting the results you’ve been promised, I’d definitely recommend reaching out to Simon. It’s one of the best decisions I’ve made.
