Part fitness manual, part wellbeing guide, 007's trainer Simon Waterson shares his vast experience of turning actors into athletes in this inspiring and highly practical book for anyone looking to improve their energy and body confidence.
Simon Waterson joined the Royal Navy Commandos at sixteen and served in the special forces for seven years before embarking on a career as a fitness trainer. Over the last twenty-five years he has become the film industry's most in-demand health and fitness performance coach. Based in the UK, Simon travels all over the world preparing actors for major roles before accompanying them on set to keep them fit during shoots.
What sets Simon apart is not his work ethic, which is as strong as
any trainer I've ever worked with, nor his innovative approach to
fitness ... What makes him particularly unforgettable to me is his
lovability. His warmth. The personal moments we've shared over the
years. He's the kind of trainer that is a true partner, one who not
only sets the appointment and counts the reps, but does the workout
with you, motivating and challenging you, and engaging in the kind
of conversations that leave you laughing and chatting for an hour
after your session. -- Chris Pratt

Simon has a very strong philosophy, that aesthetic is a by-product
of performance. This always made sense to me. Simon got me ready
for filming on the Fast Furious franchise as well as for Dracula
Untold. All the information he gives you is easy to understand and
sustainable and it allowed me to reach my goals and each time
surpass them. He gave me the confidence physically to carry off
these roles. He's also a great human and I love working with him.

Simon is extremely rigorous and diligent: always prepared and
punctual. He is unfailingly respectful, careful and kind. He knows
when to work hard: he knows when to push a little further; to
encourage you out of your comfort zone. He taught me so much. --

Simon, working with you has always been a great pleasure. Not only
are you the best trainer but you are also the funniest. You always
make me laugh so much and, for the abs, there is nothing better! --

If you had told me I'd be in the best shape of my life at
forty-one, I would have said you were crazy. Simon was able to
achieve that by not only changing my workout regimen, but by
changing my entire mental approach to the whole process. From diet
and cardio to heavy lifts and recovery treatments, Simon takes
great care to push your body in incremental steps rather than
vicious shifts in weight or appearance. -- John Krasinski
Results come not just from working hard, but from working smart.
With Simon's help, I've been able to sustain the highest level of
health and fitness through several action movie franchises without
injury or misery. I am one of countless others within the
entertainment industry who trust him completely. It's thrilling
that Simon's proven strategies will now be available to all. --
