Training with Sophie has been great. She has really helped me feel more confident in the gym. I am recovering from a knee injury and Sophie has helped me with my strength and also incorporated some of my physio exercises into our sessions. I have made more progress than I thought was possible. Thank you Sophie.

Sophie is amazing, very welcoming & professional at her job. She always caters each session to your personal needs & goals. I struggle with the gym fear & being unsure what to do & how to use machines so she’s very knowledgeable on how to get the best out of each exercise with form knowledge. Sophie is amazing with nutrition advise I will highly recommend her as a pt to everyone. Thank you Sophie credit to the waterside gym & fitness community xxx

I’ve been training with Sophie for just over a month now and she really is fantastic. She makes you feel so comfortable and at ease and has given me the confidence to get back into fitness training without constantly worrying about getting injured, which I’ve struggled with before.

Sophie is so positive and encouraging and every workout is tailored to me. I can see already that I’m gradually starting to feel stronger.
Sophie has such a lovely, positive energy and genuinely cares about helping you achieve your goals. I’m really enjoying my training and already feel so much more confident. I’m so pleased I found her and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a PT. ❤️

I’ve had such a great experience training with Sophie! She’s super friendly, supportive and always so encouraging. She really motivates me to push myself and get the most out of every session.

What I really appreciate is that she takes the time to listen to what I struggle with and gives me advice that’s actually tailored to me and my goals. She’s helping me build sustainable habits rather than making things feel overwhelming or unrealistic, which has made such a difference.

In such a short space of time, she’s already helped me build so much more confidence in the gym and I feel like I’ve made so much progress. I absolutely love our workouts and couldn’t recommend her enough!

I can’t recommend Sophie enough! After recently having a baby, I was a complete beginner and lacked confidence in the gym. Sophie has been so supportive, encouraging, and knows exactly when to push me. Her knowledge, professionalism, and expertise are incredible, and she’s made me excited to start this fitness journey. I’m so grateful for all her help and can’t wait to see my progress!

Would highly recommend Sophie, she is so smiley and positive all the time - She genuinely makes working out with her enjoyable!
Communicates everything really clearly and is easily accessible if needed! She’s always giving good advice when I’ve needed it and seems to really listen when I’ve needed her!
She’s the best!!

I can’t thank Sophie enough, she’s simply brilliant! After major knee surgery I hadn’t found the physio very helpful tbh. When I was able to return to the gym I felt lost as to what exercise was suitable for me.
I got back in touch with Sophie and she’s been superb. She’s really knowledgeable about rehabilitation and we’re now working together to build up my fitness, strength and muscle tone. Sophie’s also great at helping me with advice on the importance of good rest and nutrition. She has extensive knowledge and expertise. I feel confident now as we work together towards my goals and have lots of laughs along the way!
Thank you Sophie.

Sophie is absolutely great! She tailors your workouts to your goals and needs, gives you advice on meal plans and gives you some really comprehensive and detailed feedback on your weekly reviews.
She’s such a girls girl and we have a good gossip in our PT sessions which are great fun! Would highly recommend!!! Thank you so much Sophie 😊

I’ve been training with Sophie since March after signing up to the gym, and I honestly couldn’t recommend her more.

I initially booked a free trial session, and we clicked straight away. We had a great laugh, but it was also obvious how knowledgeable she is. I wanted to improve my nutrition as well as build strength, and Sophie took the time to really understand my goals before putting together a plan that was tailored to me.

One of my goals was to achieve an unassisted pull-up, and I’m getting super close to achieving that thanks to the upper body programme she’s designed. Every exercise feels purposeful and linked to what I’m trying to achieve, while my lower body and full body sessions have helped me build strength and confidence across the board.

What really sets Sophie apart is how invested she is in her clients. She regularly checks in to see how I'm getting on, whether I'm enjoying the workouts, and if they're still aligned with my goals. That ongoing support and willingness to adapt things has kept me motivated and genuinely looking forward to both my gym sessions and training.

If you're looking for a PT who is knowledgeable, supportive, genuinely cares about your progress, and makes training enjoyable, I'd highly recommend Sophie! ☺️💪

I’ve had a course of 8 PT sessions with Sophie so far and am feeling stronger and more confident in my ability. Sophie has taken the time to get to know me and all my aches and pains (!) and has tailored the sessions accordingly. She has also been encouraging me to eat healthily and to exercise at home too whether by walking and/ or doing the exercises she has shared on the app which I can do myself at home or at the gym. I have loved our sessions and have signed up for more! Thanks so much Sophie x

Sophie is incredible! She is so positive, motivating and extremely knowledgeable both fitness and nutrition. I am a complete novice at the gym and was so reluctant and intimidated to start, having put it off for years. Sophie has truly helped me gain so much confidence so far and empowered me throughout. I love our training sessions together and look forward to them. I feel as ease during our sessions, she pushes and encourages me but we also have a laugh. I feel healthy and stronger already and I wish I had started PT sooner. I cannot recommend her enough!

Thank you to Sophie - I’ve gone from going gym and not knowing what to do, to now having confidence and an actual plan! It’s been life changing.. It’s only been a few weeks and I can feel myself getting stronger and my love for exercise and the gym has grown so much. I’m obsessed. Sophie is so caring, understanding and really makes my journey so much fun! I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better PT. I’m so excited for the rest of this journey. Thanks so much Sophie xx

Starting my personal training journey with Sophie was honestly one of the best decisions I made. From the very beginning, we got along so well, she created an environment where I felt completely comfortable, which made a huge difference in building my confidence at the gym.
I am so happy with the results so far, Sophie has held me accountable and motivated me every step of the way and she is genuinely invested in my progress.
She consistently takes the time to track my improvements and adjust things to keep me moving forward. Her feedback is always thoughtful, constructive, and incredibly motivating. She knows exactly how to push me, which has helped me achieve far more than I expected. I look forward to every session with Sophie, and I honestly could not recommend her enough!
We get to yap, laugh and hit PBs AND she is the ultimate girls girl 🎀

Having recently joined the gym I needed an introduction to all the equipment and what best suited my needs. Sophie was very knowledgable, friendly and welcoming. She made our sessions fun yet challenging and really helped me to feel at ease in a gym environment. She knew exactly what I needed and created a challenging and enjoyable introduction to my fitness journey. Having felt overwhelmed and not knowing where to start before our sessions, I now feel inspired and confident to continue on my own now.

Training with Sophie has honestly been a game changer for me. Working long shifts / nights has make it so hard to stay consistent in the past, but she’s helped me build a routine that is flexible and fits my life instead of fighting against it. I’m seeing great results to my body composition already and feel so much stronger in the gym. She really listens, adapt things when needed, and keeps me accountable without adding pressure. She goes above and beyond to help me achieve my goals.
I’m genuinely excited to see how much more progress I can make with her amazing support. Thank you so much Sophie! X

Sophie is an amazing source of knowledge and inspiration. She really listened to what I wanted to achieve and tailored things to how I can manage to keep on top of my goals and improve without feeling pressured alongside a busy job and life. Where I would normally get frustrated and give up, Sophie has been there and provided me with a new perspective on how our bodies actually work (bye to being preoccupied with the number on the scales), and with progressive workouts alongside rest and recovery advice and what to prioritise with nutrition I am in the best shape I’ve ever been at 42. In addition to the gym, I am training for hill climbing challenges and feeling motivated for overall health and wellness for longevity as well as getting fitter and more toned. We have a proper laugh too.

Sophie has been amazing getting me started on my fitness journey! Clear and thorough from the get go with a plan of action and focus, she’s so positive pushing you where you need it and keeping you on track. Sophie listens and understands what you want from the sessions which makes you feel comfortable with her no matter what stage your fitness is at - I couldn’t recommend her enough and am excited to see my end results! Thank you Sophie x
