I was searching for a PT who could fit into my crazy work hours. As a professional contractor my hours, places of work and times can change in a snap! Ish is a fantastic trainer as he has been flexible with my time and really gives me a great workout that challenges me all the time. He's very professional but also quite approachable. I can't recommend him enough! More...

Cannot recommend enough.
Isla helped me get back in shape after my first baby. She has a very sensible and realistic approach to fitness, strength, flexibility, and overall health.
She was careful to design a program specifically to my needs. She was always attentive to my biomechanics and potential for injury. She will not "beast you" like other personal trainers just to get the job done. Rather, she provides a sensible, sustainable, and safe approach to achieving your fitness goals. Well, that was my experience at least.
I also attended Isla's classes. These were great. Good fun. Non-judgemental. People of all abilities. Take at your own pace.
In terms of value for money, I think the packages Isla offers are very competitive.

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
By understanding a client's likes and dislikes I help grow their confidence to exercise regularly and eat healthily. I allow them to attend all my fitness classes for free and regularly give them training ideas and help with their diet.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
Exercise everyday and have a healthy clean diet with lots of vegetables, drink lots of water and get to bed early.
What do you love most about your job?
The people ! I love meeting people then helping them with exercise and being a person they can confide in and generally helping to improve people's quality of life.
What inspired you to start your own business?
After my second child I found it difficult to return to my Pre baby figure despite exercising regularly. I was also made redundant from my previous career and wanted to do something to help others. I kept getting asked to start my own classes so that's what I did. I started training as a Kettlercise instructor and then qualified as a personal trainer before going on to study a degree in Fitness and Personal training. I also qualified as an advanced sports massage and soft tissue therapist. Since then I have started teaching Pilates and absolutely love this, almost as much as the Kettlebell training!
Why should our clients choose you?
I'm a very approachable, likeable trainer who gives it to you straight but understanding and sympathetic to your situation. I'm all about building people's confidence and helping them to do well and lead a healthy lifestyle.
