Why choose 1-1 Personal Training?

I first contacted Bea about starting personal training after suffering with back problems during lockdown. My goal was to get moving and get strong. I've always struggled to stick to gym programmes because I found them dull and repetitive. With Bea, sessions have been fun and engaging and she got me doing things I'd never considered doing before. I never saw myself as a weights person but now I love deadlifting!

In the last year I managed to sprain my ankle and break my toe. Bea adjusted our sessions to work on what I could still do. And once the injuries started to heal, she gradually built in movements to help me rehab back to full strength.

After working with Bea I'm the strongest I've ever been and she's given me so much more confidence in my own abilities.

Having run my first marathon with no fitness training, and suffered afterwards, I knew I needed to be more proactive.

I’m so pleased I found Beatrice, her knowledge, observations and insight really helped me through my second marathon and I beat my previous time by 15 minutes!

Third time around I have returned for more training which is a testament! Highly recommended!

I had worked with Bea online following a prior injury & she helped me get back running. I did the usual runner thing of falling out of the habit of continuing to strength train, so I was determined this time to work with her in person to get fit and strong again but also to keep it going. Working in person gave me the motivation I needed and ensured I was doing the exercises right. The sessions were challenging but I left feeling good afterwards, and each week I could see progress as the strength, flexibility and balance improved. Bea has given me the tools and techniques to keep it going, as I train for my first race in a few years, and to fall into good habits instead of falling into bad ones again!

I began training with Beatrice in 2016 to maintain/ improve my strength and flexibility and stay as fit and healthy as possible during my mid life years. Throughout this time I have been through major surgery, peri menopause, menopause and have been challenged by various musculoskeletal issues arising from autoimmune conditions.

Because of Beatrice’s background as a Chiropractor and her keen interest in issues of peri menopause and menopause, I have always felt very confident in her ability to know and understand my body and needs at any given time and adjust my programme accordingly to achieve my goals.

I would highly recommend Beatrice as a personal trainer.

I have worked with a number of Personal Trainers on and off over the years but never with as much consistency as with Bea.

It really has paid off. I have never before run for an entire year without sustaining an injury. Until now!

Thanks Bea

I have worked with Bea over the last year focusing on the mental side of my performance. I learned how to set long and short-term goals and break these down into manageable objectives. I learned how to question why my goals were important to me and evaluate and review them, as I progressed.

I looked at possible barriers to success and learned how to use my powers of perception to visualise the race beforehand. As a result, when race day came, I had some practiced familiarity with the race environment. & I was able to deal with my pre-race nerves better having a routine

Consequently, my confidence going into races has grown and I have run more races than ever before in a season to embed my mental skills and to continue to grow as an athlete.

Last year was a very successful year in terms of race results and my race times went down significantly.

Bea is very knowledgeable and clearly explained what I needed to do step by step

Before meeting Bea, my joint hypermobility was a constant hurdle in my life, especially when it came to exercise. I struggled with joint pain and instability, which not only limited my physical abilities but also affected my confidence in engaging in any form of exercise.

From our first session, Bea demonstrated an exceptional understanding of my condition and tailored a program that was not only safe but also effective. What truly sets Bea apart is her empathetic approach and genuine care. She consistently provided encouragement and support, which played a crucial role in building my confidence. I've not only seen a significant improvement in my joint stability and strength but also in my overall well-being.

Thanks to Bea, I have a better understanding of my body and have gained confidence in my ability to exercise without fear of injury. I'm incredibly grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, caring, and effective physical therapist/coach.

I needed a one to one coach who not only set goals with me in the gym, but also taught me about & encouraged me to start eating a well balanced diet. Bea was always ready to explain why certain exercises were useful and why they were beneficial to my age and style. Training was very effective, helping me to refocus my energies and complete some major goals in my life. I would like to thank Bea for the last few months of coaching. I will now continue what I learnt and I am looking forward to checking in and updating my training regularly with her.

I wanted to return to fitness after struggling with physical and mental motivation while approaching the menopause. Sessions with Bea were a great introduction to a new approach to my fitness regime, using weights for strength and cardio, with Bea thoughtfully tailoring the sessions for me to be able to adapt them to home.

Bea’s approach is patient and knowledgeable with a professional eye for form, expertly guiding where needed, with clear demonstrations and instructions, and so enabling me to repeat routines safely, effectively and with confidence even when alone. I left my final session feeling empowered and inspired to continue on my fitness journey

I really enjoy my sessions with Bea. I chose to train with Bea because she doesn't just focus on weigh loss, she takes a holistic approach to help her clients achieve their goals and I'm amazed at her level of knowledge . I suffer from adrenal imbalance and thyroid dysfunction, and for that reason, Bea tailors my exercise plan accordingly, when required, which not many PTs I have come across are aware of nor do they take this approach.
