Client Testimonials
Since training with Sophie my confidence has grown ten fold, I was so scared at the idea of walking into a gym and now I look forward to heading to the gym and following my plan. The workout plans mean I don’t have to think about what to do next, it’s already set out for me along with weights/reps entered from previous workouts so I know where I’m at for each movement. I’ve lost around 10kg in weight and learned so much about nutrition (I knew nothing!) Every 6-12 weeks we go through how the previous period has been and can set new goals, do measurements if I want to, create habits which can be worked through on the app. I’m really happy with the service I receive, and all from a private gym setting which feels way really relaxed, yet I am pushed in every session. I have weekly check ins with Soph where I can address areas I may be struggling in, and I am given the opportunity to say if I’m not enjoying something in my programme (I’ve never done this as I have consistently enjoyed my programme throughout my time training with Sophie) Sophie makes me accountable, and training with her has me motivated to go workout- which I didn’t know was possible! I am enjoying seeing my progression, and the aesthetic changes are an added bonus on top of the great mental well-being training with Soph is doing for me :) Enquire about coaching with Sophie. You won’t regret it.

Sophie is really knowledgeable and a great PT! I've been training with her for 2+ years and I feel like I'm the strongest and fittest I ever been! I still surprised myself with PBs that I didn't know I was capable of. The training is bespoke, challenging and easy to follow. What I like the most is that is one aspect of my life I don't have to plan for. I show up at the gym, open the app and my training is there to follow. There's a degree of flexibility that you can substitute some exercises if it's particularly busy. But I literally just have to show up. And Sophie taught me discipline and consistency really pays off. It has indeed! During 121 sessions, Sophie will explain the moves and give you extra cues so you know what to look for/what muscles to squeeze and how to position yourself. These are priceless! When you're training on your own you'll remember these and it'll make everything go smoother and safer. Thank you Sophie for being exceptional! I can't recommend you enough.
Bruna
I've been coached by Sophie from 3.5 years now. During this time, I learned to be more comfortable at the gym and using the equipment safely. Due to her vast experience, she is able to suggest suitable workouts, linked to your goals and preferences and adapted to the facilities available. Meeting her online once a month makes me being active about my goals, prompting me to reflect on the past month and set realistic goals for the next one. Sophie is able to reply to my queries quickly, when required. Her package includes bespoke dietary suggestions, according to your goals. Overall, I am satisfied with the service provided and will recommend her to anyone wanting to challenge themselves to build healthy habits.
Luci
Soph has been instrumental in helping me learn and understand the basics of weight training and work this into a routine. She has really helped me work toward my fitness goals in a sustainable and enjoyable way. Always super helpful and knowledgeable and I always look forward to our weekly sessions!
Natalie
I've never had professional advice and guidance for exercise, and since signing on with Sophie my goals have shifted far higher than I thought I could ever get to. In the last few months the sessions she has provided have often been the highlights of my week, and I've never felt better both physically and mentally.
Matthew
Sophie has helped me loose a lot of weight and change my body shape over the last year through 2-3 work outs a week and calorie/nutrition goals that have helped me loose 3 stone, all whilst building strength that supports my ongoing back issues. Feeling stronger than I ever have and looking forward to the year ahead to see what I can achieve next with our workouts. Highly recommend!
Abi
I've been training with Sophie for nearly 2 months now, she is an expert in her field and makes you feel comfortable and at ease. The gym she trains in is very intimate and you have no other gym members around, which I prefer as having others glaring at me whilst training is off putting, she doesn't judge you for wanting a sweet treat, but also you feel like you're kept on track to meet your goals, I would 100% recommend!
Lisa
Sophie is an amazing and knowledgeable PT who I would definitely recommend! I have gained the confidence to go to the gym and also learnt a lot in terms of nutrition and exercises helping me to reach my goals.
I can see the strength I have built up over the months and I wouldn’t have been able to do that without Sophie’s help and guidance throughout!
Highly recommend Sophie to help in your fitness journey!!
Harpreet
I have made amazing progress physically, I am definitely stronger and fitter. The progress I have made in the way my body looks is way more than I thought would be possible in this time, I am so much happy mentally because of this. I am also so much happier when I am training and eating better which I have been able to do thanks to having you as a PT! You give the absolute best support! Lending me equipment for during lockdown aswell as adapting all my sessions to home workouts so I could continue training really helped me carry on when I couldn't come to the gym. Also offering to do face to face and zoom sessions was amazing! You always send me ideas of what I can buy to make training better/easier and I know if i ever need to message you, you will answer almost instantly!!! The best thing is you don't expect me to eat amazingly healthy all the time and train 4 times a week, you understand everyone has bad and good weeks but still help me to stay on track or give me advice if I've had a bad week.
Sophie is so relaxed and friendly, I do not dread coming to her sessions. I actually enjoy them way more than coming to the gym on my own because it pushes me to do better when she is watching! I like that we rotate through each of the different sessions each week.
Hannah
This year has been transformational for me, I've learned so much about fitness, motivation & myself and that is all down to you not letting me give up. I've got from someone terrified of going into the gym by myself to going on my own 1 or 2 days a week. I know that sounds small, but 12 months ago I never imagined I'd ever get to that stage. Every piece of advice you've given has changed my mindset "it's not all or nothing" etc, I think differently now and some days are rubbish, but most days are not. I know now that's how life is and that's how I reach my goals. This year has been insanely good for me, and all I can say is Thank you. Thank you for sticking with me, making me braver and teaching me!
Alex
I have worked with Sophie for two months so far, starting with remote sessions on Zoom during lockdown, and then subsequently in the gym. She quickly worked out my key goals and put together a clear exercise and nutrition plan in order to achieve them. The training sessions themselves are well structured, each point is clearly explained and timely feedback is provided to ensure correct technique. Outside of sessions, Sophie is always available to answer any questions and provide support if needed. She is also a genuinely nice and encouraging person and I would not hesitate to recommend her as a PT.
Ben
For the time I have been seeing Sophie for personal training sessions I have found her to be approachable, patient and very encouraging. I like the fact that she will tailor programs to suit me, the workouts have helped my injuries and I can see the progress plus she is helping me work toward my goals. Lockdown has been challenging and keeping up with my sessions with Sophie has really helped my physical and mental health even the virtual sessions were a great help. They have helped me still make progress and although I have decided to try and maintain my weight as a more realistic goal it means when I'm ready I can make a plan and set a goal to lose weight. I would definitely recommend Sophie for personal training sessions.
Angie
Sophie really challenges me and she knows my capabilities. With Sophie I feel I have more energy and I am stronger, I feel also more confident as I understand what I am doing- she makes exercise interesting - explains what we are doing and why most of the time. I feel I have the tools to continue exercising on my own and the knowledge I gained from Sophie will benefit me for the best of my life. I have improved in term of my daily food habit as she always keeps tracking my food. She has been very flexible in terms of timing of sessions if they need to accommodate my schedule. I feel great working with Sophie.
On lockdown:
I have been working with you for less than a year but I have never been satisfied like now. Your sessions really helped me sooo much and increase my confidence (especially my arms ). You are really a great PT, and people always tell me that PT costs too much and you do not need to get a PT, just go to the gym and open YouTube. NOW I regret every second that I did not have one like you because you really want the best for your client. During the quarantine time, your sessions help me so much and I am always looking for it. Your challenge sessions are great as well, especially when I sit at home and I can not go outside. Your support during this was amazing. Finally, you have never been late in answering any questions, you answer like within a second. Thanks for everything.
Khulud
I’ve been doing workout almost 2 years on my own and I have not seen any difference but now I’m working with Sophie for almost 3 months and I’m achieving my goals. She is professional and really working hard with me and helping me through my sessions. I’m now able to do exercises by my self. She is a really lovely person, I’m always looking forward to my sessions.
Abeer
I really enjoy working with Sophie. She's always accommodating, makes me work hard and provides great nutrition / general life advice outside of the sessions that makes me thing she cares about my results as much as I do. I've been working with Sophie for 2 years and have constantly seen results. I've gone from being shy and anxious about going to the gym to getting up first thing and it being the highlight of my day. I've incorporated what she's taught me into my daily life and am happier and healthier as a result.
Jay
Taking up sessions with Sophie has been one of the best decisions I have made in recent times. At the beginning I found it hard (because of my poor fitness) and what I like about Sophie is that she understood my fitness level and catered my sessions so that I was slowly but gradually improving. She has helped me lose 25kgs; my target weight seems achievable now. The sessions are hard and every sessions feels harder than the previous. I have gone from being out of breath walking a few hundred metres to climbing 3 flights of stairs without being out of breath. Sophie has helped me understand that it is a lifestyle change, eat healthy and not skip food types, what you eat is fuel for your body and very important. She educates you to be healthy (without being preachy) and sets goals for me to achieve with each session, and these short term goals help towards my final goal which is to be healthy.
Tanya
Since starting my PT sessions with Sophie, my gym sessions have become much more focussed and has given me a real structure to my workouts. My motivation is at an all time high and so is my strength. I feel much more confident in my form and pushing myself in the gym and would have never even dreamt of venturing in to the weight section and now I'm never out of it. Thanks Sophie!
Charlotte
I've worked with a lot of personal trainers over the years, but none come close to the level of professionalism that Sophie brings. Always pushing better form and adjusting to get the most out of my sessions, and even after a year or so has not lost any focus. Couldn't recommend her more.
Stuart
An excellent personal trainer, Sophie gives lots of encouragement and support both in the gym and via text. I can honestly say I've enjoyed every one of my sessions, even the early morning get ups!"
On lockdown:
"When lockdown happened my worse fear was not getting enough exercise and over eating whilst at home, but with your help I've managed to lose 9lbs in weight as well as a dress size. You have encouraged me by always responding to my messages when I've lost motivation or had a bit of a glitch as well as the thumbs up every time I've walked or done a work out. It has all made a big difference and I really appreciate it a lot.
When I first met Sophie and started a training programme with her my aim was just to lose weight and I expected to just do cardio, however Sophie introduced me to weight training and a way to track to my food and nutrition. Since then I have not only lost over 2 stones in weight but gained more muscle, more strength and far more stamina that I ever thought I had. My whole mindset to food and exercise has changed and I have Sophie to thank for that!
Daljit
I've gained so much confidence in myself. I'm learning new things every week and feel like I'm pushed to reach my limits and up my weights which helps me to see the potential. I've definitely learnt new things I wouldn't have done without Sophie and she's been encouraging every step of the way.
Katherine
Absolutely couldn't recommend Sophie more! Everything is tailored to your abilities and fitness level. I made so much progress with my weight loss and none of it felt like a chore. Investing the time and money in to having you as my personal trainer has honestly changed my life. I feel like a better version of myself; I'm achieving things I didn't think my body could.
Molly
Six months in; I continue to look forward to my sessions with Sophie.
She always takes on board how I have performed in my previous session and tailors the current one accordingly so we are together working towards my longer-term goals.
Sophie is quick thinking especially when our sessions fall in peak periods and adopts a consistently proactive approach within the sessions she delivers.
No question is stupid; I am comfortable asking for help from exercises to meal plans!
One thing I have noticed is that Sophie continually strives to improve her own performance (evident on her iG account) and this serves as motivation for me to keep on working towards my own goals.
Thank you Sophie!
Humma
I have been training with Sophie since September 2018 and still training with her!
And I couldn’t recommend her enough..
She never loses focus and will always put her all in to helping you achieve your goals.
Because of Sophie I now love going to the gym and this is coming from who hated the word gym.
I have the confidence of being able to lift weights and push myself mentally and physically than ever before. I have improved my health and changed my eating habits and made good habits for the long run in all thanks to Sophie sharing her knowledge on how to live a healthy life.
She is an inspiration!
Keep doing what you’re doing Sophie xx
Mia
Thank you so much for helping me on the journey to reach my goal. You have helped me understand that although the progress I'm making is gradual, it is healthier so that once I have achieved my goal I can maintain it. I have lost a dress size since starting with you and am finally enjoying my weight loss journey and most of all I really enjoy going to the gym. I will be using all the advice you have given me to continue my journey and finally reach the goal that I have set myself for years!
Tasha
My physical progress is evident, getting back to lifting weight I was before lockdowns and my injury - for more reps as well! There has been no major comeback of my injury either, so I'm grateful that my earlier workouts were planned to take that into consideration, despite me wanting to go full speed ahead. Some of the physical progress I am seeing, I can't believe it's me achieving these things! Aesthetic differences have come with the above, I can see I have more defined muscles which I have come to really like. Especially with my poor history with body image, it is great to have had a female trainer who is strong af and I could talk to about my training both in conjunction and separate to aesthetics. My mental progress feels like the biggest difference. When I first went in for my diagnostic session, I was so anxious to just walk through the gym and couldn't get my words out at first! Now I can enter a gym on my own, conduct a session on my own, and even ask people to give me their kit.
Simply put, Sophie is a knowledgeable and professional personal trainer who I recommend you get in touch with if you are wanting to see a positive change in your health or fitness lifestyle. She clearly takes her work and clients seriously, so is proactive to adapt workout plans to ability, injuries, and whatever may be possible on the day! Sophie’s workouts are clear, effective and, above all, enjoyable! She makes it easy to track your progress and get comfortable with working particular muscles in various forms – so much so, I have found myself looking forward to tricep dips, which is not something I planned coming into this training. The support and resources that come with Sophie’s training are great – help and advice with nutrition, motivation and weekly & monthly reviews to reassess your goals. Her approach doesn’t revolve around ‘all or nothing’ so her support makes those days that you don’t quite reach targets so much easier to recover from and improve on. Plus, her general calm and friendly nature made it a lot easier to take that first step into personal training. I had significant anxiety around working out in a gym, so during training with Sophie I would still have episodes of panic that she dealt with gracefully, patiently and always without judgement. After 7 months of personal training sessions, I can now go to the gym on my own, conduct a session on my own and even approach others for their kit – so physical progress isn’t the only reward from these sessions!
