About
Hey, I'm Abigael, a Personal Trainer based at the Waterside. Whether you're stepping into the gym for the first time or you're an experienced lifter looking to reach the next level, I'm passionate about helping people build a healthier lifestyle, feel stronger and achieve lasting results.
My coaching focusses on making training simple, sustainable, and enjoyable. I understand that everyone's starting point is different, so I work closely with clients to create a plan that fits their goals, lifestyle and experience level. As a strong advocate for women's health, I also help women build confidence in the gym, improve strength and develop healthy habits that support long-term wellbeing.
My passion for health and fitness began when I was young, so I decided to study a degree in Exercise and Sport Science. This gave me experience working within elite sport, and with a lifelong involvement in multiple sports, I combine evidence-based training with real-world coaching to help clients succeed. Whether your goal is to lose weight, build strength, improve fitness or simply feel better in your day-to-day life, I'm here to support you every step of the way.
Let's take that first step together - come say hello at Waterside Hotel & Leisure Club or get in touch to book a session. The time is NOW to Start Strong!

I’ve had a few session with Abi now and she’s been brilliant. Her knowledge shines through and she takes time to look at your form and shows you adjustments. You can really feel the benefit of the adjustments! I would highly recommend Abi as a PT

I had a 1:1 session with Abigael and the advice and encouragement she gave me was excellent. She is extremely knowledgeable and little adjustments she made to my leg endurance programme have been amazing. Abigael is so approachable and kind and I would definitely recommend her.
Karen
I regularly do strength work outs but have been struggling recently due to a sports injury. I went to see Abi for a PT session and her sports science knowledge really shone through. She showed me how to rebuild the injuried areas and corrected my technique to help prevent future issues. She is such a joy to work - so encouraging and warm. I would have no hesitation in recommending her!

Abbie stepped in to help make sure my training and form were safe and suitable throughout my pregnancy. She gave me valuable advice, guidance and adjustments, which gave me so much more confidence in my training.
She is incredibly knowledgeable, supportive and approachable, and such a lovely person too. I’m so grateful for her help and would definitely recommend her!

Abbie stepped in to help with my form on lat raises and chest presses. Her calm manner and wide knowledge are impressive and she really made a difference to my results. Thoroughly recommended.

I had a PT session with Abigail yesterday and I have to say I was so impressed with her knowledge and expertise. The slight tweaks she made to exercises made such a difference to the movements and I felt like I was getting much more from the lifts than I normally do. She is super friendly and put me at ease straight away. Abigail is a brilliant and informative PT and I would highly recommend training with her.

I had a PT session with Abigail this morning, she was excellent, really turned into areas I needed to tweak/ improve on my form and I noticed the difference immediately. She put me at ease and explained everything perfectly, thanks Abigail!

After just one session with Abbie it's clear that she's a great PT! She's not only friendly and easy to chat to, but also very knowledgeable. Her advice and guidance on squats was insightful and it was fun to work on front-loaded squats, which I had never tried before! Abbie also immediately spotted a point for improvement on the leg press, and gave me helpful cues - I could tell my form was better straight away! Definitely recommend training with Abbie!
Regina
Abigael is an absolute pleasure! She did my intro PT session with me and it was so lovely - I’ve always been nervous about having a PT as I didn’t want to feel pressured into trying things I wasn’t sure of but Abigael ensured this wasn’t the case! No question was too silly, she took time to understand my goals, was encouraging and really friendly too! I would highly reccomend her for any of your PT needs!! Thanks again!
