About
Having had a successful career within the NHS as a Mental Health Nurse and manager I have been passionate about supporting change and promoting positive mental health and wellbeing through education and development of local services and working with GP practices.
My own need for managing a chronic health concern with fitness and nutrition put me on the path to explore my dream in becoming a Personal Trainer and Nutritional Advisor in 2011. In more recent years I have added on to this and trained as a Health and Wellbeing and Transformative Life Coach.
I have had many success stories as a PT and no one that approaches me for training will feel uncomfortable or unheard. I embrace positive relationships with diversity and offer a personable 1:1 approach.
I have developed a unique blend of supporting others through physical health and transformation whilst promoting positive change and emotional resilience through Wellbeing coaching.
I WILL OFFER YOU:
• Fun and accessible training sessions.
• Unique flexible programming for your needs.
• Weight loss plans that are sustainable achievable and not a fad diet!
• The ability for you to grow in confidence and self-worth.
• Support you through injury and the days when your mojo has slipped.

As a 44 year old man, most people would have expected me to go with one of the young male PTs at the gym. However, I would encourage chaps to keep an open mind as Cathy has an excellent range of skills and experiences that may be beneficial to them. Not only does Cathy have a passion and strong knowledge base for fitness and nutrition, her experiences of life's challenges (mental health, having children etc.) mean it's easy to gain a connection and trust with her if you have been effected by these kinds of things as you have moved into your 30s and 40s - like I have.
I'd also echo everything that the other reviewers have mentioned! If you're considering working with a PT, book a trial session with Cathy, and judge for yourself. It won't be a wasted hour :)

Cathy is the personal trainer I was looking for. She's around my age and understands my health challenges because she’s been through some herself. She gives me just the right amount of exercise that's challenging but not too much. She helps me work around my issues in the training sessions. Her approach is functional strength training, which is exactly what I need. I can use the machines by myself, but I'd never have thought of doing the exercises that Cathy gives me.
It's a pleasure working with Cathy. She's always present and focused on me during our sessions. She chooses just the right exercises for the whole body. Some exercises are multi-functional, targeting multiple muscles in the body, some target specific muscles. Exactly the right balance. We use different kinds of equipment - large gym balls, small heavy balls, t-rex, resistance bands, kettlebells, weights, sandbags ... I don't even know what all these objects are really called!
Since I started working with Cathy, I feel stronger and healthier and have less pain in my shoulder as it gets stronger. She's the perfect personal trainer for me. In fact, it's indeed a personal, tailored training to fit with my needs. Thank you, Cathy, for helping me keep my body in a good shape!

I was lucky to find Cathy while I was looking for a PT during my short stay in UK.
Cathy was more then a PT , she was a caring friend, a compassionate listener, and a great person to go for an advise either on a personal/training level.
Her training techniques made me see results in a short period of time ,By the end of my trip I was left feeling confident and looking in my best shape again .
Sessions are never boring exercises, very encouraging and seems to pitch the volume of activity at exactly the right level pushing me much harder than I would do myself.
Thanks a million 🙏

Cathy is friendly, encouraging, sets achievable challenges, patient, informative - I couldn't do it without her - the gym has been a complete nemesis of mine but Cathy has now made it my friend. My own personal fitness challenges are starting to erode and I am feeling fitter on my journey, all thanks to Cathy.

Want to say a huge thank you to you, Cathy, for helping in many ways! It has really been a pleasure and a positive having you on my journey. You're excellent at what you do. You have been beyond helpful, and I appreciate your support.
Even when I looked at the negatives, you were able to help me recognise the positives and figure out awnsers along the way, which is an amazing quality. You really helped me feel at ease along the way and being understanding which is important. Your time and efforts and your help have been truly needed, and wanted along the way you have made it easy to communicate any worries or concerns, which is one of many things to add to the list of genuine qualities you have.
Also love that your direct and fo straight to the point. You have a true impact on myself and I'm sure many others.
Nothing ever felt to much for you and your efforts seemed effortless which makes you great at what you do. I will alway highly recommend you as you deserve great things. Am very lucky to have met you.

I'm so pleased to have found Cathy! An excellent first consultation and fantastic gym sessions! Cathy puts you at the centre focus to ensure you get the maximum out of a session; whether that is a good cardio workout, strength or a mixture; with essential stretching weaved in-between! Additional lifestyle conversations too should you want them. Her sessions are enjoyable, I've been introduced to equipment I have never been confident to try before and my energy and enthusiasm levels for the gym have soared. Cathy listens to her client and best of all it's all calm and enjoyable, no regimental routines and everything is explained in detail. I highly recommend Cathy as your personal PT!

Cathy is an amazing PT! I have always been nervous about starting at a gym as it can feel very intimidating as a beginner. Cathy has put me at ease during all of my PT sessions, she is enthusiastic and tailors each session to my individual goals. I can already feel an improvement and could not recommend her enough!
