I would definitely recommend Barbara to everyone. She is kind, thoughtful and really tries to understand the person she is training. She motivates them to get the best results. I thoroughly enjoyed my sessions with Barbara, she's very easy to get along with.

Barbara is fantastic. Encouraging and realistic. She encourages me, in a supportive and empowering way. I was intimidated when starting personal training, but there was no need. I have been pushed out of my comfort zone, and I'm seeing the results, lower body fat, increased strength, increased muscle. I look forward to my sessions, although I know they will be tough I have a massive sense of achievement in how far I've come in the last 7 weeks.

From the very first session Barbara, it was clear that she was committed to helping me achieve my fitness goals and making me feel comfortable in the gym. Barbara took the time to understand my specific needs and tailored a program that suited my abilities. She also took all of my health issues into consideration and adapts sessions if I am having a difficult day (I have a heart condition). She is not only a really great personal trainer but a lovely person to be round, someone you can absolutely trust in any situation. Would highly recommend!

I have enjoyed training with Barbra she’s really helped me build my confidence, made sure I’ve achieved my goals and always motivated me. Once I started training with Barbara I felt more healthier as she also advised me on what food to eat and also helped with exercises that have helped my back problems.I would recommend her as PT as she makes a plan tailored to everyones individual goals as everyone may not want to achieve the same thing. She’s really boosted my confidence and aided me in learning how to carry out exercises safely and correctly. I have seen results from training with her and have continued to keep her as my Personal Trainer.

In the short time I have been training with Barbara, I have seen significant progress in my journey. She is very attentive to my needs and patient with me too. She makes sure she tailors her program to individual needs which is what I love. She comes highly recommended.

Barbara has been a brilliant personal trainer for about 6 months last year, and now she is my PT assessor. She provided all the support I needed and she was always happy to offer advice. I couldn’t asked for any better coach!

I’ve been doing Barbara’s program for almost 8 weeks now and have already seen significant results physically & mentally. She is very approachable and easy to communicate with. She answers all my questions and worries whenever I come to her. She has also provided helpful meal plans/ideas along with the workouts program. She has been a huge help to my fitness journey, I highly recommend to her to anyone who is struggling with weight loss or just starting their fitness journey. Can’t wait to finally reach my goal. Thank you Barbs!

I absolutely adore Barbara! I have been training with her for around 6 months now (on and off)& I wouldn't choose anyone else to train with. She is very knowledgeable & focuses on a training plan to enable you to achieve your goals! She is dedicated and is always at the other end of the phone if you're struggling. When starting the gym I didn't know what I was doing yet now I'm confident to go on my own and use the weights. I would definitely recommend. Looking forward to continuing with her.

Barbara is a great PT and is very knowledgeable. She provided me with new training exercises that I have added to my personal training programme and help build on my strength and conditioning training.

I have been training on and off with Barbara for the past year now but consistently for the last 2 and 1/2 months. Since I started training barb always recommended (told me) to track my food so that I knew what I was eating and what was in it, which all of last year I never did. But for the last 2 months I have started tracking my food and I can’t believe the difference it has made. I could always see changes throughout my journey but I am actually seeing results now. I should of listened from the start!.

I absolutely love training with barb she tailors every session personally for you and targets the areas you need to work on. She is so patient when you are learning something you haven’t done before and helps you to nail it, but on the other hand she gives you the push you need to start seeing results. Even when she is not in the gym she is always on the other end of the phone giving you support and checking in with you.

I am finally starting to feel confident with my body again and that is all thanks to barb. I am going to miss her when she goes on maternity leave. I would highly recommend Barbara she’s amazing!!!

Will 100% recommend. I do online PT with Barbs and she has been the most helpful with giving me guidance when training. She’s been so accommodating with all the adjustments with my schedule, health and pace. Can’t imagine achieving the things I could now without her. Always pushing

I have been training for 6 weeks and can already see a huge difference! My aim was to gain weight in muscle due to my petite size and all the exercises I were given were tailored to this. I was never really experienced in weight training, only cardio so I have learnt many new exercises that will develop the areas that I want to the most. I was shown very safe and strict technique for all exercises that I performed. Barbara is great encouragement, she pushes you to your best and motivates you throughout all sessions. I was given excellent nutritional advice and meal ideas to help me gain the weight that I needed. She was also very flexible with our sessions around my alternating shift patterns at work. Barbara has been amazing and has helped me gain the confidence I need to begin to weight train on my own aswell as one to one sessions. I can’t wait to get back training with her again at the end of January. I can’t thank her enough.

I’ve been working with Barbara for about 6/7 weeks now and am seeing amazing results! I’m getting stronger each week, being able to increase the weights I lift across various exercises and have been able to build muscle through the use of the various exercises she has me doing, alongside the help she has gave me with my nutrition and calories. 5 Stars! Would recommend!

I have been training with Barbara for over a year now and I can frankly say that she changed my mindset (other than my body) completely! She is attentive, professional and a real pleasure to work with! We went through a body recomposition and I can’t wait to see what’s more to come!

I love training with Barbara. She is such a knowledgeable PT, that understands my goals, limitations and clearly what I need to do to achieve them. I have learnt so much about weight lifting form since training with Barbara. When I am having a bad day, I can guarantee I feel better by the end of my sessions through her motivation and I have never had so many achievements and personal bests than through this training. I highly recommend Barbara.

Being an older woman I just wanted to get fitter - Barbara has given me the confidence to do this. With her training I can achieve more than I thought I could and have got my enthusiasm back for going to the gym. She is easy to talk to, adapts training to accommodate my aches and pains, and always gives encouragement.

Thank you Barbara for the amazing support that you have provided me to help me reach my target goal (lose weight, gain muscle mass and tone my body).I have seen great visible results in just 3 months. You have also boosted my confidence in doing weight training on my own and I am so grateful for that, thanks again.

I have been training with Barbara for just under a year and I have significant improvement to my strength and physique. The sessions are always challenging.

Barbs is a great personal trainer. I had a PT course with her before COVID and again this year. She is friendly and motivating and both times I have seen results. I'm a bit scared of the gym, but she makes it much less intimidating, while still pushing me. Thanks!!

Immediately when I started using Barbara, she made me feel very comfortable and put me at ease as I had never used a personal trainer before. she was extremely professional and reassuring. It was one of the best decision I’ve ever made to use her services. We managed to fit PT sessions around my nightshifts and eventually made me feel comfortable enough to workout in the gym as I had not done that for years due to confidence. I am very grateful for the training education and support she has provided through being my PT.

Thank you so much for having me and being ready to push me to achieve my goals. The meal plan and exercise routine have been so easy to follow. I really appreciate your calm demeanor and attentive listening, even when I have questions or need to go back and forth. And your lovely smiles definitely help make the whole process easier!
