Hello!

Welcome to Every Step Fitness – the home of friendly, fitness fun!

My name is Nancy and I’m an ex-university lecturer and researcher with over 12 years experience in the fitness industry. I have a level 3 diploma in Personal Training, and offer online and 1 – 1 and 1-2 face-to-face training from Studio 22, a private gym in Hinchley Wood . Sessions are client-focused and tailored precisely to each client’s needs. I use up to date research on sports science and nutrition to offer clients the best possible chance of success. Sessions are fun, friendly and supportive. It’s not just about ‘beasting you’ – I offer full support between sessions on both exercise and healthy eating for the whole package. My clients range from 18 – 80, men and women, post and ante natal, post surgery/injury rehab, weight loss, fitness and just general health improvement. I’ve been there myself and have been on my own fitness journey (see below) so I understand the challenges first hand. As well as PT I teach group exercise classes in local gyms across Surrey – teaching spin, pump, attack, bodystep, sh’bam (dance), aqua etc.

This site has my articles, recipes and tips, as well as info about ways I can help you get fit, and have fun doing it!

If you’d like to know more about my own journey then do have a read of my story and if you want to get in touch then do drop me a line!

Have a fab day

Nancy 🙂

In early 2019 I joined the Xcel Leisure centre and started to do some of their exercise classes. In May 2019 i attended Nancy’s Body Pump class on a Saturday morning, Nancy approached me before the class begun and made me feel welcome. Body pump on a Saturday morning was the first class i actually enjoyed attending and this is down to Nancy being so welcoming and enthusiastic. The class is always fun and Nancy always brings her personality to the session. i wish Nancy ran more sessions at Xcel!

In July I contacted Nancy directly about personal training. I opted for Nancy’s blended personal training approach which is 3 months online and face to face sessions. My goal was to lose weight/body fat and become physically fitter. I had tried a couple of different diets but was not seeing results. Nancy created a calorie goal that could work for me and we got started in August. Nancy was always available to help whether it be Calorie estimates, looking at menus and recommending the best options or just being there for me when I had a low day/week. Nancy’s face to face sessions were also great, they felt tailored to my abilities and were not about beasting me. We would do measurements, talk about any difficulties as well as check physical strength progress. There were clear improvements in the weight i could train with in each session as well as how many sit ups or push ups i could do. My 3 month final result highlights were: -9.2% Body Fat, -7cm from chest and belly, -3cm each thigh and bicep, -4.3kg in weight.

Training with Nancy also gave me the confidence to start running and i joined a running club to add to my weekly exercise routine. Initially I could not run for 2 minutes and then achieved a 40 minute 5km run on my first Park Run after a 10 week training program.

I never thought that i would be one of those people who enjoyed exercise and if I hadn’t have met Nancy I don’t think this would have happened.

“I never thought that i would be one of those people who enjoyed exercise and if i hadn’t have met Nancy i don’t think this would have happened.”

My sister and I initially met Nancy through group classes at the gym. Nancy quickly became our go-to instructor; her positivity and energy made exercise feel like fun and Nancy’s classes made it easy to stick to an exercise routine (God forbid if Alice or I missed a Monday night body pump!). At the time we had both stepped up our exercise routines but wanted to focus more on fat loss and ensuring that our technique was correct. Neither of us had worked with a PT before and Nancy was the natural choice!

Nancy brought all of that positivity and energy (and more!) into our PT sessions from the get go. The sessions were very varied, well planned and challenging whilst being fun at the same time. Nancy tailored the sessions to ensure we were both working towards our individual goals and at our fitness levels and provided workout plans and recipes to keep us on track in between sessions. She would regularly check in with us to see how we we’re getting on – Something I massively appreciated as it felt I had someone to be accountable to!

Nancy helped shift my mindset around my food intake. Before working with Nancy I think I naively assumed I could get away with eating whatever I liked as long as I was exercising regularly. I weighed myself occasionally, but had never really considered other factors, such as body fat %. Nancy’s no nonsense and simple approach helped me realise that you cannot out-exercise a bad diet. I now make healthier choices with my food and keep an eye on my body fat, visceral fat and other factors instead of only relying on the number on the scales.

If you’re still a bit unsure about investing in a PT, then I would say go for it – You won’t regret it. Just make sure the PT is Nancy! Her enthusiasm and passion for fitness will rub off on you within minutes of meeting her and I guarantee you will look forward to your sessions with her (Even if she does make you do some really hard stuff!)

Thank you, Nancy, for all of your energy, passion and smiles over the years. You will always be our number one instructor and PT!
