Testimonials
------------------------
A huge part of my job is working hand-in-hand with my clients. Ensuring their programme is going to plan, they feel engaged and motivated to hit their goals, and then adjusting as we both see fit, making sure they still feel challenged and avoid plateauing on the way to hitting their milestones.

I've had the opportunity to train and work alongside some amazing people since I began personal training - See what they had to say!
I’ve been trying to put into words what it has meant to have Soph as my PT.
Not only is she an utterly fantastic PT, she has a wealth of knowledge that she shares with you.
She really wishes to empower you to be the best version of you. She listens, advises but doesn’t push. (I’ve been to people before who bang on about ‘their right way’ - but this isn’t Soph.)
Bit by bit, set a goal but it’s that, a target, work towards it, but it may be that one week you boss it, then the next week life happens! This approach has meant I’ve actually stuck to it. It’s long-term, not a short-term fix.
My mindset has changed & I’m healthier & happier from it. The results I’ve seen are (to me anyway!) incredible & I’m so proud of what I have achieved. I’ve made new friends, I’m learning more about what to eat & when, I’m staying active & overall mentally & physically fitter.
Since being with Soph I have dropped 2 dress sizes & I’m maintaining it. I’m comfortable in the gym & feeling strong, from now, being able to do press ups, to bench press, to leg press - maybe one day I will love step ups - who knows (haha!) I feel truly grateful for Soph.
Her kindness, ability to adapt, whilst pushing you at the same time to get the most out of the session. (From counting those reps to upping your weights!!) Soph you are brilliant :) Ps. New shorts last year are too big once again!

Sophie has been my PT for a year or so now but from the start of this year I decided to really ramp it up and try to make some serious changes.
Sophie has massively supported me in this journey and has provided me all of the tools I needed to succeed.
In the last 8 months I have experienced some significant weight loss whilst still gaining muscle mass, dropping my levels of visceral fat, and also having much improved levels of fitness.
Most importantly I have really enjoyed the process. I have never been a particularly fit or sporty person, mostly just playing casual 5 aside football over the last 6 or 7 years. The last few years in particular I was feeling older and struggling to keep up but this year I feel like I'm 5 years younger!
I would highly recommend using Sophie to anyone! I'm honestly buzzing with the progress I've made. thank you so much Sophie!

I’ve done PT with Soph for just over two months now and she’s helped me both physically and mentally.
Before I started I’d dread going to the gym or doing any form of exercise but now I look forward to having my session each week with her.
Soph provides workouts tailored to the individual and explains/demonstrates each exercise thoroughly therefore my strength and fitness have improved so much in a short space of time.
She’s nothing but supportive and encouraging throughout the whole work out and makes sure I push myself to my full potential.
Her knowledge with personal training is outstanding. No one is recommended more!

I’ve been attending the gym for a while now but I started my personal trainer journey with Sophie 8 weeks ago.
In these 8 weeks I have noticed more difference in my fitness than I have in all the time I’ve been training on my own.
Being a diabetes patient, since I have been training with Sophie my sugar levels have been under control.
I highly recommend Sophie if you would like to reach your full potential and beyond.

I just wanted to thank you for all the support through my injury recovery the last 10 months.
At some points I didn't think I'd get to where I am now. I definitely wouldn't have gotten here without you!
Being on stage yesterday was the happiest I've been in a long time!

I love training with Soph. I’ve always found it difficult to get myself up and training alone so having someone as knowledgeable and qualified as her to guide me on correct technique is a huge confidence booster and big motivation for me.
I’m always left feeling super positive, couldn’t recommend enough

When I started training with Soph I was looking for a sports specific program to improve my performance but more importantly my confidence with football and exercise.
The last 3 months training with Soph I have notice performance enhancement, physical changes and positive mental changes as well!
I leave every session feeling like I’ve achieved another goal! Soph has supported me with every little step and is always offering more advice and encouragement!
I wouldn’t have gotten this far, this fast if it wasn’t for Soph’s help and making everything suitable for my needs. Thank you!

I had been going to the gym for couple of years irregularly and my knee and lower back injuries/problems were getting so bad, especially in the gym, that I was considering quitting gym.
After I started training with Sophie I couldn’t imagine not going to the gym.
Sophie constantly adapted the programs and tried lots of different exercises to work around the problems.
Now after a year I’ve been following her guidance and going strong at the gym, and also running my first half marathon since the knee problems are so so much better!

Sophie has been a great personal trainer. Always a joy to train with.
She's very knowledgeable, always having an answer to my questions and knowing how to adapt sessions to meet my needs on that day.
I have lost weight, built muscle and gotten fitter. 10/10 would recommend!

When I first started Personal Training my fitness level was at rock bottom, I struggled to even do 30 seconds of hard work!
Over time Sophie has helped me to build my strength, stamina and fitness with a tailored plan, and I am now fitter than I have ever been.
Looking forward to continuing on my journey with Sophie and seeing how much more she can help me achieve.

When I first met Sophie, I said at my age of 55, I didn't want to let the old man in. Meaning I want to work out at a gym and stay focused.
Sophie tailored my workout program which means I don't get injured. I've felt better today than I did 30 years ago.
I'm feeling and performing better than ever. Plus Sophie makes sure that I work out to my limit and it's enjoyable.
I look forward to going. Not only have we kept the old man out. We kick his ass every session.
A good PT is worth their weight in gold. Sophie is above and beyond all my expectations. Cheers Soph!

Soph and the training she provides has made a huge impact on me, and I couldn’t thank her enough for it.
Soph has helped me physically by dealing with an injury and improving my general fitness to mentally by helping me over come issues with food.
Sessions were always catered to my needs and I felt that I was continuously supported.
Soph was someone I felt comfortable to talk about anything with, and over time working with her felt like I could really trust her.
I am gutted to be leaving training and can’t thank Soph enough for everything she’s done

Literally never thought I would have a personal trainer let alone start to enjoy exercise!
Sophie is excellent at what she does, pushing you enough but doesn’t make you feel ashamed if you aren’t able to do it, she will always challenge you but knows your limits!
I was always too embarrassed to exercise but Sophie puts you at ease and ensures you build your confidence, i’m so happy I've taken the steps to do exercise but I wouldn’t have been able to do it without Sophie!

Before the middle of last year I had never really stepped into a gym and when I had to felt so uncomfortable and clueless that I never stayed longer than 10 minutes.
Since starting PT sessions with Sophie last year she has shown me how to fall in love with keeping fit.
Sophie has always ensured to explain things and show me how different exercises are done so I never have that clueless feeling.
Somehow Sophie has made someone who used to really hate exercise start to really enjoy and look forward to it! I'm so grateful for this

I’ve loved training with Sophie for the last few months, she really takes the time to make a plan that is right for you.
This was particularly important for me with several pre-existing injuries that I’ve had to work around but managed to see big progress despite them.
I hit big deadlift and bench PB’s in this time and have learned an awful lot that I continue to take forward

PT with Sophie has made such an impact for me mentally and physically.
I was a complete beginner with no experience and no knowledge. In the short space of time working with Sophie, I have gained so much confidence and understanding.
I never thought I would step foot into the gym, let alone walk out after a 1-2-1 session feeling so great. Sophie is incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, encouraging and friendly.
Her love for training clearly shows by the way she demonstrated each exercise and explains them precisely. I don't feel judged or embarrassed at all when working with her which was my biggest fear of all.
Really excited to continue my journey with her by my side. thank you so much for everything to date Sophie
