I believe in fitness as a way of life :)
I love fitness and believe that it should be fun and not a chore: especially as we age being fit and strong can do so much for your physical and mental well being; the aesthetic benefits are just a bonus!

My mum is 77. After a life threatening battle with Covid in 2021 and a stroke 12 months later, my mom’s physical and mental wellbeing had severely deteriorated.
She experienced significant muscle wastage, a loss of short memory and some cognitive function.
Elisa started training sessions with my mom over a year ago. She uses body weight, dumbbells and bands to keep the sessions varied and interesting for my mum. Since then we have seen great improvements in her physical strength and ability to perform complex exercises. She is also much happier and confident in conversations. My mum looks forwards to her sessions.
Most importantly, Elisa cares about my mum’s health. She always checks in with updates and shares concerns if she notices any unusual pains or behaviour.
I can not recommend her highly enough!

I want to leave a personal review for my PT. She was really good—she understood my goals from the start. I told her I wanted better posture, more agility, and relief from shoulder pain. Her workouts were amazing, and she was always there pushing me during every session. I feel like it was time and money well spent. Not only did my physical health improve, but my mental health did too—I was very happy with the progress. I can't wait to book more sessions; I noticed a significant difference by the 6th session, even after the 1st session I noticed a reduction in pain, with the types of exercises tailored to my needs I was able to build muscle. Thank you Ely, you are the best 👌 More...

I’ve been working with Elisa for only a couple of months now. I came in as a pole dancer struggling to get my shoulder mount move, so she helped me with loads of recommendations for exercises I never heard of before to build core strength etc, and I got the move months before I thought I could!
I also love sessions with Elisa because I've found out what things I enjoy training, and after every session I feel a burn which makes me know its worked!

Absolutely would recommend Elisa, she is incredible and such a lovely person. As someone who has always struggled with weight loss, and suffered from PCOS she has helped me come out of my comfort zone and pushed me to doing so many new workouts to help me with my weight loss. I have been with her for a month now and have lost 6kg!!!! I can promise you that you will not be let down by her !! More...

Elisa has trained me for just over a year and has helped build my confidence in resistance training massively. She is so informative, flexible to work with, keeps the exercises fresh and most importantly (for me) makes me feel comfortable in the gym environment. I’m blessed to have found her! Thank you Elisa x More...

Training with Lisa was an amazing experience! I initially chose to train with her because she represented what I was searching for myself, having a balanced fitness life whilst having a normal life as a woman.
She understands your needs and every workout is very calculated. We were able to see results very quickly and I would definitely recommend her. Most of all Lisa is extremely flexible and she was able to accommodate my work schedule even when it became very unpredictable.
100% recommended. Thank you ever so much for everything!

Elisa is a brilliant PT and has made me fall in love with exercise again. She really knows my needs and how much to push me, so much more than I'd be able to do myself. I am so much stronger and fitter than I was and I look forward to each session :) More...

I am really glad I found Elisa - she works me hard but is kind and thoughtful about my strengths and weaknesses (literally) and it makes me want to show up which is the hardest bit for me! She's given me abs for the first time in decades :). Would highly recommend! More...

I found Elisa thought Bark, and I’m so glad I did. She comes to my home, so no excuse for not doing my workout. My tone and balance has improved massively. I was very ill over Christmas with pneumonia, and Elisa was really good at developing a workout that was very gentle and chair based when I first started, until we built back up to where I was. She’s very flexible with timings too, so having to change my slot isn’t the end of the world (although I try not to!). Highly recommended! More...

Thank you Fiona for your lovely review :)
Marta
Elisa is fantastic! Before starting the PT sessions with her, I didn’t like gyms, but she has shown me so many different exercises that I can’t say training is boring anymore! Also, I could see the change in my body and health very quickly, so definitely a very good investment in one’s wellbeing! More...

What can I say.
Elisa was the best personal trainer, she was so patient with me. She also pushed me all the way, I lifted some weights I didn't think I could.
Thank you so much for my new way of life. I would give 6 ****** stars

I was looking for someone to help me achieve my fitness goals in the run-up to my wedding, and Elisa was the perfect choice. She was very good at customising our workouts taking into account my needs and helping me to build strength and aerobic fitness in a matter of weeks. Working out with Elisa online is always something to look forward to - she is motivated, professional and really fun to be around! More...
Madalina Lupu
Elisa is very professional, friendly and supportive. I have been working with her for about 16 weeks now and the results are quite clear.
My pre-pregnancy clothes are starting to fit again.
She makes a personalized weekly meal plan and makes sure I exercise enough for my busy lifestyle. The meals are enjoyable and they do not require a lot of time in the kitchen which is exactly what I need as I have to manage my time very carefully.
Elisa is very supportive, always encourages me when I have a bad day and could not stick to the plan and she responds to my messages when I have a question either about the exercises or the meals.

Elisa really inspired me to make lasting changes to my diet. I really liked that she listened to me and my concerns and worked with me to prioritise changes, keeping them manageable. Over a surprisingly short space of time she had me feeling confident enough to make changes to my nutrition that went well beyond those first priorities that we had discussed. The nutritional changes in combination with the HIIT workouts were transformative and what I achieved far outstripped my expectations. Her communication with me was fantastic - the perfect combination of challenge and support with a sprinkling of refreshing humour. More...

I always have difficulty in preparing my meals so that they are effective in keeping my weight down as I work in a very stressful work environment .
Bespoke Personal Training listened to my needs and designed a very effective way of preparing my meals. Lots of ideas and recipes for meals that will give me the energy I need at the same time keeping my weight down. I am in week 3 and I am loving preparing my meals as they are versatile. I struggled keeping my breakfast low calorie at the same time as interesting. Bespoke personal training did this for me also Ely is methodical with how I should vary my meals. I am very happy that I contacted Ely as I am now able to have a more organised and effective meal preparation for the week. I am truly thankful .

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
By carefully creating a training programme based on their goals and current fitness levels; I motivate all the way through by keeping in touch also during the days when we are not training together, and I review and change the sessions based on the progress made regularly, also asking the customer for regular feedback on how they feel they are doing. I am really supportive too! :)
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
Hard work and a sensible approach to nutrition!
You simply cannot out-train a bad diet, so if an amazing body is your goal, that cannot be achieved only with exercise. Sad but true!
The good thing is, people have a really wrong understanding about healthy eating, and you don't just have to eat chicken and broccoli for the rest of your life to look amazing!
I have a strong passion for nutrition and have done wide research in the area because of my own interest in it, so I am always happy to give clients advice to improve their lifestyle and diet so that they can achieve their goals.
What do you love most about your job?
Helping people, as getting them fit and strong is something that really improves the quality of life, fights ageing, does wonders for your mood and stress too. As I said before, the aesthetic benefits are just a bonus, I truly believe in fitness as a mantra that can change your life!
What inspired you to start your own business?
Becoming increasingly addicted to fitness after getting really into it after the birth of my first daughter.
I had lots of friends, or people from the gym, complimenting me about my shape (when I was over 35, and looking the fittest I had in my life) and asking for advice, so I realised I could turn my passion into a career and really make a difference.
Why should our clients choose you?
Because....I have been there!
I know how you feel, I know how hard it is to make time for one more thing in your busy schedule, I know how it is to be unmotivated and just want to sit with a cup of tea (or a beer ;) and watch Netflix, or to just have so much work to get done by a deadline that even sitting down and watching your favourite series is out of the question, let alone working out.
I am a working mum with 2 small children, 3 part-time jobs, a husband and no family help (all my relatives are in Italy), so I am here to show you that if I can find the time for this, anyone can.
And I will always be supportive because most of the time, I can relate to all of my clients's problems!
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I started training people online during the second lockdown and was very dubious at first about the effectiveness of those sessions; in reality, they are just as effective, it's possible to correct form by carefully monitoring the exercises, I always do the whole session with the client to increase motivation and even with very limited equipment, I found these to work just as well as face to face. In fact, once the lockdown was over, some clients have preferred to remain online just because of how practical and time saving the sessions are (not wasting any time in traffic, being able to schedule a session in your bedroom, etc).
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
At the gym, we continue to sanitise any piece of equipment after use; during the height of the pandemic I was exclusively doing remote sessions.
