What we do
Four ways to train with Neil, in studio across UNTIL London or fully online. Each one built around where you're starting and the strength you want to keep.
Strength you build to keep.
One-to-one coaching built around your history, your goal and the time you've got. Strength, mobility and conditioning in one plan you can keep for years.
A clear start and finish line.
A structured eight-to-twelve-week reset with weekly check-ins and a clear finish line. Honest training and nutrition for the over-40 body, in studio or online.
Coached, wherever you train.
The same coaching as in person, adapted to the kit you've got. I review your form from video and manage your progression across the month — never improvised.
Train better with company.
Small-group sessions of two to six, each on your own programme adjusted live. Lower per-session cost with most of the coached attention, booked weekly or fortnightly.
Outcome-led personal training and online coaching — what clients say.
Jack Morris
"Neil has been my PT since 2014. He is able to train you effectively at any age or ability (in my case, in my late 60s) and adapts your regime to get the very best out of you. My fitness wouldn't be where it is without Neil — an outstanding trainer who can really transform your sense of wellbeing."
Daniel Searle
"I've been training with Neil (NMG) for several years now — professional and very knowledgeable, not only in fitness but the wider package: lifestyle, diet and healthy living. He understands the training needs of my age group and adapts his programme accordingly. You're not just a number to him."
Kim Battistini
"I have been training with Neil on and off for years. He is amazing at tailoring the sessions to your personal goals, while always remaining conscientious of physical limitations. He is encouraging and patient, and never makes you feel judged or self-conscious."
Ailbhe Edgar
"I have trained with Neil for a couple of years. He has done an excellent job helping me improve my strength and stamina levels while motivating me to maintain my fitness training over the long term. He is a good listener and tailors sessions to an individual’s needs."
About Neil McGuigan
I have been coaching personal training for 18 years, after representing Ireland internationally as a high jumper earlier in my career. In that time I have coached around 300 clients, many of whom have trained with me for 15 years or longer. The transition from competing to coaching was deliberate — I wanted to bring the same standard of preparation and progression that high-level athletics demands into the way ordinary clients train, day to day.
Most of the men and women I work with are between 40 and 65 — the group I've built the practice around. Training in your 40s and 50s isn't training in your 20s: recovery is slower, joints carry more history, and the goal is strength that lasts decades, not a peak in one season. So the programming is patient — we earn progress and keep it, rather than chase a number you can't hold.
I coach across four UNTIL gyms — Soho, Marylebone, Liverpool Street and Canary Wharf — the same sites you'll train at as a 1-2-1 or group client. Online clients get the same plan, adapted to the equipment they have. The first session is free; if we're a fit, we go from there.
How It Works
Book your first session at no cost. We assess where you are, talk through what you want to achieve, and you leave with a clear sense of whether the programme is a fit. No commitment beyond the assessment.
Based on the assessment we agree the right service — 1-2-1, group, or online — and build a programme around your starting capacity, your goals, and the time you can realistically commit each week. Nothing generic.
Sessions run, the programme adapts, and we review at agreed intervals. The aim is sustainable change you can hold across years, not a peak that drops the moment the block ends. Progression is earned, not pushed.
FAQ
Recovery slows, joints carry more accumulated history, and metabolism shifts. The principle does not change — progressive overload still drives adaptation — but the dose, recovery, and exercise selection do. Most over-40 clients benefit from more strength and mobility work, less high-intensity volume, and longer recovery between heavy sessions than they did at thirty.
No. The first session is free precisely so you can come as you are. Whether you have not trained for years or are returning after an injury, we measure where you are today and build a programme that matches your current capacity. The aim is to meet you, not benchmark you against an idealised standard.
Sessions run between 45 and 60 minutes. We start with a brief warm-up and mobility, follow with the main strength or conditioning work, and finish with any accessory or recovery work the day calls for. Form, breathing, and effort are coached in real time. You leave with a clear sense of progress.
Across four UNTIL sites: Soho (111 Charing Cross Road), Marylebone (1 Orchard Street), Liverpool Street (280 Bishops Square), and Canary Wharf (30 South Colonnade). All are private members' gyms with full equipment, showers, and changing facilities. Online clients train wherever they have access to equipment and receive the same programme structure adapted to that kit.
The first session is a no-cost, no-obligation assessment. We discuss your training history, current goals, and any injuries or constraints, then run a brief practical assessment of movement quality and strength. You leave with a clear sense of whether the programme is a fit and what next steps would look like.
