"For young players starting their table tennis journey, Gordon Fearn is for me the optimal table tennis coach. It's in that environment our paths has crossed, but I'm sure Gordon fits right into most settings.
"The combination of in depth table tennis knowledge, on a clearly higher level than necessary when operating with young beginners/intermediate players, with multisport knowledge and in addition the ability to both see each individual in the group as well as have them listening and learning, takes a lot of skills.
"The training is always serious but delivered with a good portion sense of humour, making the young players wanting to come back for the next session, prepared to answer relevant questions about the game or to take on a challenge"
2023 Former Junior National Coach for Table Tennis England
I have been playing table tennis for over 20 years, and have been involved in the England team as both a player and coach. During my experience, I can say that Gordon is easily one of the best coaches I have ever come across. He coached me for a number of years during my table tennis career, coaching me to some of my biggest competition wins. He is not only a brilliant technical and tactical coach, but also cares about the players wellbeing and their aspirations off the table. He encouraged me to follow my educational aspirations in combination with my table tennis, and I have been fortunate enough to now go on to obtain a PhD. I would encourage players of all ages and levels to approach Gordon if they are looking to improve their game as he always puts 100% into each player
Former England international & 3 X U21 national table tennis champion. Now Head of Pathway Development for Table Tennis England
Gordon is a great motivator who listens and adapts his coaching styles to each individual to ensure they reach their full potential.
He has helped me massively throughout my table tennis career which I am very thankful for. I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for him. A fantastic coach...thank you for everything.

"I've had the privilege of attending Level 2 Table Tennis and Fundamentals for Table Tennis courses with Gordon as the tutor. His knowledge, energy, and enthusiasm are second to none, and I appreciate that he has worked hard to become a movement specialist.
"After taking his courses, I decided to sign up for his table tennis coaching in both group and one-on-one formats. The sessions are of the highest quality—fun and engaging. I developed as a player, athlete, and most importantly as a person under Gordon's coaching. Highly recommend.

"A massive thank you to Gordon Fearn. Looking back, I’ve been lucky enough to meet a great tutor within the sport I love, table tennis. Not only a great tutor, but a great person! Thank you for the start of my journey on my level 1 table tennis course.
"I’ve been out of the sport for 18 years, after ending my time as a junior at 18. I’ve played at a fairly high level as a Junior, my understanding to the sport is advanced in terms of strokes played. Right from the start, Gordon’s communication and understanding of learning, pulled me in straight away. His understanding and simplicity of the sport is on another level to anything I’ve ever witnessed. To be able to pick apart each stroke, to break it down step by step, and to witness developments of a player within minutes, if not seconds, was amazing to be a part of. More so, aspects away from the table and the sport, warm-ups and fundamental skills, his experience is simply amazing. I’m in awe of his approach, even messaging Gordon throughout the course to simply say how inspiring he truly is.
"Constantly challenging and questioning to make us all aware, of what’s happening or could be happening. Allowing us to think outside the box, approaching all aspects in a variety of ways to show us there isn’t one way to coach. Believing in bringing out your personality to bring to coaching, on and away from the table. I’ve already taken so many aspects of Gordon’s coaching away from the course to implement it into my coaching journey. If you ever get the chance to work with Gordon, you’ll have a great time. I’ve found new ways of learning because of this course, and especially Gordon. A huge thank you to helping me at the start of my journey!
"I’m already wanting to be apart of any future workshops with Gordon, eager to get going again. I’m sure I’m speaking on behalf of everyone on our course, we loved every part of it. Thank you Gordon, you’re amazing!"

Fortunately, I have had access to attend multi-gym session with Gordon for the past two years and I have made a huge improvement/increase in a variety of components of fitness: reaction timing, balance, speed, agility, co-ordination, control... therefore concluding to me being a better and more improved canoe slalom athlete from the past two years. I would highly recommend these sessions to a variety of people of various ages, as it would help anyone improve their performance of any sport at any age, gender and ability. Furthermore, from all of the sports I have performed and taken part in, none of them having increased the components of fitness (reaction timing, balance...) better than and faster than Gordon's sessions, so thank you very much Gordon!
