Samantha Hallam

I've started training with Sam a few months ago. The reason why, out of many personal trainers, I chose her is that she is able to swap between gym exercises and kick boxing, which I love. So although I don't particularly like going to the gym, with Sam I can have fun because I also do kick boxing. What I like about Sam is that she is very positive and pushes you to improve time by time. I am very happy to have her as a personal trainer. More...

Sam has been amazing, tailoring a plan to fit my hectic lifestyle at the minute. Creating a progressive overload fitness plan to push me outside of my comfort zone in the gym and to make the most of each session. In the short time I’ve been working with Sam I have already started to see changes in my body. I am feeling better and more confident in myself and I definitely wouldn’t be at this stage without her! Sam has also been supportive with nutrition and eating habits. She’s always happy to answer questions and provide advice and guidance where needed. I cannot wait to pick back up in April! I would recommend Sam to anyone as she seems extremely knowledgeable, creating personalised plans and guidance, weekly catch ups looking at goals for the coming week, looking back at what went well the week before and also what could have been improved. Sam is easy to talk to and a good laugh making training slightly more tolerable! Haha. More...

Sam is an amazing personal trainer. She was so motivating whilst being friendly and approachable. Sam worked with my strengths but also pushed me outside of my comfort zone for training and improving at new exercises. I'd happily work with Sam in the future. More...

Knowledgeable and supportive, Sam is respectful of my limits and at the same time encourages me to push through them. I have a lot less upper body pain and better general mobility and performance from working with her.

Sam’s expertise, guidance and encouragement have allowed me to make great progress with my fitness goals over the last four months. After going into the programme with aims to improve my agility and strength for dancing, I have come away feeling better informed about the specific imbalances and weaknesses I need to address during workouts to hit these goals. Sam was flexible and allowed me to take a less weight-centred approach to measuring progress, which I personally really appreciated. She was extremely attentive during our sessions, and never failed to point out and resolve any issues with my form to prevent injuries. Her range of fitness knowledge is incredible and I have gained insights into numerous aspects of a successful pre- and post- workout routine. Through all of this, I have seen noticeable changes and made progress towards my fitness goals. I would recommend Sam to anyone looking for accountability, a professional, tailored workout plan and those who wish to take their fitness journey more seriously. More...

Samantha, a professional in her field! She won't let you relax during your workout! She will make sure that the exercises are performed safely and of high quality. It's a pleasure to come to her workouts and most importantly we were comfortable! A variety of exercises and a pleasant atmosphere. Once I had a very bad back pain and I couldn't exercise properly because of the pain, but Samantha fixed it and told me how to keep my back healthy! Thank you and your work! You are awesome !

Sam has been my personal trainer for three months now and I genuinely believe that I have made more progress in increasing my physical abilities than I have done so in a years training alone. Sam has an incredible knowledge of both correct nutrition and technique, giving advice down to the anatomy of what the muscles are themselves doing when you are performing the exercises. Sam always asks me how I’m doing and eating. It is quite nice being able to feel like I can be honest about how energetic I feel as I know it has an impact on my workout. Sam has noticed when my energy has been lower than usual and has accommodated the workouts I’m doing accordingly. It’s been super helpful. Overall I highly recommend Sam as a trainer, just an all round great personal assistant and individual. More...

I’d been doing the same workout and getting bored/lazy with it. Sam showed me how to rethink my workout and gave me a bunch of other options plus reminded me that I’d get much more out of my workout by mixing things up. Great nutritional advice too to accompany the training - massively helpful pointers that I use every day. Thank you Sam! More...

Like most people, the last year and a bit have been turned upside down when it comes to my lifestyle and routine. I found myself stuck indoors with minimal exercise kit and no real plan. I had loads of food and beer though so over the months the pounds pile on. I needed to do something as his year I've got my wedding coming up and I wanted to feel better about myself. I'd trained with Sam a little while ago in New Zealand and through her encouragement and workouts I got myself in the best shape I'd ever been in. When I found out Sam was back in the UK, I knew that she would be the best way to restart a healthy lifestyle. I was a little apprehensive at first as I don't have much kit and no gym access, but Sam has provided a great, practical approach. Through regular check ins and tailor made workouts to fit my goals, Sam has provided me excellent support and accountability to keep me on track. I've been training for a little over three months now and the results are already clear. More muscle definition, over a stone and half lost, greater all round fitness and a tremendous mental health boost. It's not always been easy but Sam has always been a message away to offer extra help as needed. If you're looking for a tailored approach to your fitness and a general well being boost, get in touch with Sam. She'll help you reach and exceed your goals. She's honest and friendly so there's nothing to lose! More...

I use to go to the gym sometimes 3 times a day and was a very active member of a running club. Then my life changed. I lost my job, then my husband and went through a bad patch and got the chance to make a new start and moved to Brighton. Having lost my fitness network I got lazy and gained weight. Tried to get back to the fitness and running but when Covid hit it all went downhill. In November 2021 I took control and joined Fitness First and found Sam. She has helped me get my gym confidence back and improve my fitness and nutrition. I’m not the best pupil but she gives me that push and won’t let me get away with any exercise being too easy! And I have loved getting back into boxing. I would highly recommend Sam to get you to your fitness/weight goals. I even ran the Brighton Half this year which I couldn’t have done without Sam’s help and guidance. Contact her, you will not be disappointed. More...

Really enjoyed my session with Sam, would definitely recommend. I'm not a gym person at all but Sam made it really fun with some light hearted banter. She gave me some really useful exercises to help build strength where I've had some issues with my hips and knees before. The boxing at the end was class, she can definitely take a punch on her pads! Felt like I'd had a proper work out and a laugh by the end. Thanks Sam great session More...

I'd highly recommend Sam. I've used PTs before and have been with Sam for more than 6 months now, training once a week regularly. Why recommend Sam? 1) Super professional approach and high quality content. My programmes are written down, updated weekly and change every 4 weeks so I know what I'm doing when I'm with Sam weekly, but also what I should be doing when I'm training alone. Every time the programme changes, Sam will take me through the programme I will do alone so I'm super confident about what to do. 2) Able to flex the sessions on the spot when I've arrived stressed, a bit under the weather, or hungover (once only!). This means I can still look forward to a good session but know I won't leave unable to get on with life. 3) Good chat. We often talk about health related podcasts / events going on / nutrition / top tips. And I always understand why I'm doing what I'm doing in my workout. So it makes sense. 4) Reliable. Sounds weird, but Sam is always on time, in uniform, with everything needed to get cracking. My sessions are an hour and we are on it for the full 60 mins. Every session is high quality and I've never been let down. 5) Feedback. Currently, Sam seeks a 2 min feedback form each week. I can use that time to raise anything I want to for the upcoming sessions. Its less relevant now but in the first month or so I could share tweaks I wanted, or changes I would like and these would be incorporated into my plan. 6) It works. My main goal was to build strength whilst protecting and never aggravating a long term knee issue. I'm stronger and my knee doesn't hurt. More...

I am very grateful to have come across Sam’s services as her personal training sessions have massively improved my confidence and self-esteem. I have always struggled with my body image and I feel like I am finally conquering those insecurities thanks to the amazing results I have achieved with Sam’s knowledge and guidance. I feel I’m very good hands under her supervision and actually look forward to the future and meeting my fitness goals.
