A former marine, and now the film industry’s most in-demand fitness trainer, Simon Waterson’s client list reads like a who’s who of A-list actors. He has transformed Daniel Craig into the formidable James Bond for five blockbuster films, shaped Chris Evans into superhero Captain America, trained Chris Pratt for Guardians of the Galaxy and prepared actors such as Thandie Newton and John Boyega for the recent Star Wars films. Sharing his practical and highly accessible approach to reimagining your body and transforming your fitness, Simon encourages you to focus on training, recovery and nutrition to build on your performance, rather than aesthetic.

Critic Reviews

“Without Simon Waterson’s help and guidance, I literally wouldn’t have made it through 15 years of playing James Bond.... It’s been an honour working with him.” (Daniel Craig)

“Working with Simon is the nearest you get to actually being a superhero, in the sense you are at your absolute peak of physical health. That makes you feel incredibly robust in these challenging times.” (Benedict Cumberbatch)

Struggling through this one…

Halfway through chapter one, Audible should’ve realized they need to fork-out for one of the many big-name-drops to read this one.

Appreciating the insights however.

okay, over hyped, terrible narration.

the narrator did no prep at all. they are constantly dragging words and pausing to read ahead. the health advice is fine. it will work if you do, just by the print book.

Interesting enough but poor performance/editing/production

Simon obviously knows his stuff. Gives a few practical tips but not many. Not a training manual. More an abridged version of his coaching style. Author read which is often a positive but not in this case. Lots of pauses, mmm's, ahh's and elongated words. I find this ruins the flow of the book.
