Personal Fitness Coach
No gimmicks, no quick fixes — just evidence-based training that fits your life and actually lasts. 1-to-1 coaching and real results from a coach who has been there.
Your coach
A dedicated and passionate personal trainer with over five years of experience leading group fitness sessions and three years working one-to-one as a personal trainer. My background is rooted in performance, having earned a degree in Musical Theatre, where I developed a deep understanding of the body, movement, and the importance of maintaining both physical and mental wellbeing.
My training as a performer naturally aligned me with health and fitness, giving me a unique approach that blends discipline, creativity, and body awareness into every session. I work with clients of all fitness levels, from complete beginners to those looking to elevate their performance.
I specialise in weight loss, strength development, mobility and flexibility, as well as improving balance.
"My goal is to create a supportive, motivating environment where clients feel confident, challenged, and empowered to reach their personal goals while building sustainable, long-term habits."

The method
Before any programme is written, we look at your movement, history, schedule, and goals. Guessing wastes time — understanding gets results.
The fundamentals — progressive overload, sleep, nutrition basics — matter more than any trending technique. We get those right first.
Life changes. Your programme should too. Every session is reviewed and adjusted. If something isn't working, we change it — not next month, now.
The measure of good coaching is what you do when the programme ends. Every client leaves with the knowledge to maintain their results independently.

Client reviews
"Emily is a great PT and class instructor. Sessions are well planned, motivating, and inclusive, with just the right balance of challenge and encouragement. She creates a positive and supportive environment, explaining exercise clearly and adapting workouts to suit individuals. Thanks to Emily I've seen real improvements in my fitness and confidence."
"Emily is a great personnel trainer. She adapts the exercises to suit you — I have bad balance so all the exercises use a chair. I have lost weight and feel a lot fitter. I cannot recommend her highly enough."
"A really lovely inclusive class. Emily makes sure that everyone receives individual support and attention — a fantastic high energy instructor with excellent taste in Christmas music!"
"Just love Emily & the class she creates for us — one of my favourite parts of my week!!"
"Thank you, Emily. This was such a fast-paced, exhausting (!) excellent class! I am already looking forward to next week!"
