I never liked going to the gym or doing exercises in general. However, keeping some level of fitness is important so I decided to try working with personal training. Fiona has been my Personal Trainer for the past few months.

Fiona works to my pace, taking into account my limitations while still pushing me to do more and get stronger overall. I clearly feel the difference between my ability now compared to when I started working with her. I appreciate Fiona's holistic approach which means working the whole body rather than just focusing on specific areas and muscles.

The sessions are hard work but at the same time, light-hearted and fun. The time simply flies by. I recognise the importance of training but did not expect to enjoy it. The fact that I do is a tribute to Fiona's skill and way of work.

All in all, I like Fiona's way of work, really enjoy training with her and am happy to recommend her to anyone looking for a Personal Trainer. The lovely rural location and views from her studio is a great side benefit.

Fiona's friendly nature, approachability and empathy dispels all fears and apprehensions anyone might hold about personal training.

She has a genuine mission to help people improve their strength, fitness and mobility, so they can enjoy a better quality of life for longer. In the training sessions, Fiona relays the importance of strength training for health in a manner that truly makes sense and motivates one to improve.

I never thought that personal training and weight training was for me, but my goodness all that mindset did a fast 360 the moment I tried Fiona's first training session in her beautiful countryside gym.

Needing to improve my metabolism, my energy levels and strengthen overall, I went from that fear and apprehension to really looking forward to my training sessions, and the genuine joy of noticing subtle changes and improvements is so satisfying!

I made great progress. I feel so much better overall, I now have more energy and I feel I am stronger, more flexible and more grounded. My focus and productivity also improved, and I am forever grateful to Fiona for helping me on my journey!

Understanding why strength training is important really helps and having someone that can really motivate you is a game changer.

If you are looking to achieve fitness goals then Fiona will help you to reach them. She has worked with us for more than 7 months and I can feel my strength coming back. My husband is benefitting from intense kettlebell exercises.

Fiona will work at a pace which is right for us, but isn't afraid to push us when we need it. No session is ever the same thanks to her immense knowledge of fitness, exercises and strength training. It means you never get bored! All your muscles get a workout.

Fiona's passion for fitness comes through in every session and she enjoys seeing her clients succeed.

I thoroughly enjoy my personal training with Fiona. She listens and takes account of my personal requirements and any restrictions I might have, constructs a tailored programme that is different and therefore fresh for each session, and makes it fun. I don't feel that I'm working and yet I know at the end that I have been!

I particularly need to concentrate on weight training and, with her careful tutelage, I have worked up to swinging a 14kg kettlebell, which makes me feel pretty good. I am achieving things I didn't expect to master. The beautiful, rural setting and adorable dogs who come in at the end for a cuddle are an added bonus.

I have been using Fiona for over a year now and I can honestly say she has transformed my attitude on fitness. Our sessions are great fun, lots of new ideas and the use of all the different equipment - it makes it exciting and keeps me interested. Fiona is hard working, honest and very reliable. She openly talks about good nutrition and simple health changes I can make.

I originally started working out with Fiona to improve my balance, posture, flexibility and overall fitness level. Fiona is always incredibly patient with me and varies the programme of activities each week so it never becomes dull of repetitive.

The hour always flies by and it is fun and energising. My balance is so much better and I can't believe how much my flexibility has improved in just a few weeks. I really struggled with certain stretches to begin with and now I can't quite believe I ever found them difficult!

I am not someone who enjoys going to the gym; having tried it in the past, I lost confidence. My weekly sessions with Fiona have helped me to build my confidence and fitness levels. I really look forward to each session.

Thank you very much for providing me with tools and information to start me on my new fitness regime. I really enjoyed using new muscles and equipment to increase my flexibility and strength. I would recommend Fiona as she was knowledgeable and knew how to adapt my programme to motivate and support. Thank you very much. Look forward to the next time.

After starting Fiona's class at Anytime Fitness gym I continued with her on Zoom all through lockdown and since. I now feel stronger and fitter as Fiona has shown me the importance of using weights to build strength and stretches for flexibility and balance. It is due to her ability to motivate that I consider I have made good progress becoming more fit. I particularly value the fact that Fiona modifies the circuits to suit our needs and her routines cover a range of exercises for the whole body, core and cardio.

Fiona is a very understanding and patient trainer, tailoring the sessions to my needs. She is knowledgeable, cheerful and enthusiastic which makes the time fly by. It's a joy to turn up to her beautiful studio, it is a wonderful place to workout.

I have found Fiona to be professional, supportive and motivational as my personal trainer.

As a long time shift worker, approaching my 60^th birthday and retirement, I was aware of having ‘let myself go’ as I had become unfit and overweight with a very sedentary lifestyle. However, I was struggling to make the necessary changes.

Fiona, the master of motivation, developed a 12-week programme for me. With her continued positivity and encouragement, I was able to stick to her programme and make some real and measurable changes in my life; Not only in exercise and activity levels, but, an awareness in healthy eating and hydration levels.

I have increased my strength, stamina, flexibility and energy levels under Fiona’s tutelage. I feel more toned and supple and my outlook on life is much more positive. In the 12 weeks, I lost five kilograms, and have decreased my percentage of body fat and increased my percentage of muscle mass. I still have a way to go but Fiona’s continued support is helpful for the future.

I have found her to be flexible and adaptive to my needs and an excellent personal trainer.

After having a new knee last year, joining the gym has been a great choice. I have learned so many exercises from Fiona that can really help me gain my strength and flexibility back. The wide range of machines available means that I can really target areas. Fiona has been very patient and encouraging. I love coming to the gym now.

Ginny

I thoroughly enjoy my sessions with Fiona - she is a great inspiration and I feel much more flexible, with ever improving balance. Thank you Fiona for your patience and infectious enthusiasm!

Diana

I have been attending Fiona’s PT classes at Anytime Fitness for 6 months. It’s a small intimate group of 2 or 3 people. I have had issues with my right knee and hip for many years but have found that since starting training with Fiona, that I have built up strength and flexibility to the point that I can now complete a full workout with little to no recovery time. Fiona is genuine and down to earth. She works at my pace, tweaking my exercise poses to ensure I am doing them correctly. She is patient and caring, combining her love of fitness with her love of people.
