Monty Simmons is transforming the fitness industry with a compassionate, science-driven philosophy that prioritises inclusivity and personalisation. With over 13 years of experience and more than 15,000 hours of personal training, Simmons combines biomechanics expertise, strength and conditioning, nutrition coaching, and lifestyle guidance to deliver a holistic approach to health and wellbeing. Based in Central London, his brand, Move With Monty, caters to clients ranging from celebrities to beginners, offering tailored in-person and remote training plans.
Simmons’ ethos centres on making fitness accessible and enjoyable. “I believe fitness should never be a chore or competition, but a journey shaped by your unique body and goals,” he says. “That’s why I adjust exercises, celebrate small victories, and respect your pace, rather than pushing a strict blueprint. By combining biomechanical insight with genuine care, I create a safe space for clients to explore movement, build lasting habits, and leave each session feeling stronger and more inspired.”
