I’ve always been quite lucky in that I am tall and have never really had any major issues with my weight, and so I had a very laisse-fair attitude to working out ie. I didn’t. However, the time eventually came when I started noticing things weren’t as toned as they used to be and I also started to think more about my general health and fitness which weren’t great. I knew I had to do something about it, and booked myself in to Nancy’s Body Step class at my local gym … I’ve never looked back. Nancy was so welcoming and totally put me at ease. I don’t feel like I’m brilliantly co-ordinated, but it didn’t matter, the class was so much fun and I left feeling energised and happy. I was hooked and now attend her Body Step, Body Pump, Body Attack & Spin classes. The fact that I have gone from zero to 3-4 classes a week is almost entirely down to Nancy and her ability to make the classes so much fun.
However I soon realised that apart from attending classes I also needed to make sure I was fuelling my body in the right way to get the benefits of the workouts I was doing. I also knew I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to help me other than Nancy. She started me on a nutritional programme, sending me recipes and tips to help me get started, and also set me simple challenges to do at home on top of the classes I already attended. I also had 1:1 PT sessions when I could, to get a more tailored workout for the results I was looking for. Nancy is always on hand to answer any questions or give advice and is honestly one of the nicest, kindest (and most patient) people I know, I can’t recommend her highly enough.
If you are looking to lose weight or improve your fitness (or both), get amazing support while you are doing it and, more importantly, have fun while you’re doing it then Nancy is your girl! She really is with you “Every Step”
Nancy, I’m having so much fun working with you, and I’m looking forward to continuing my fitness journey with you. Thank you for everything, I feel happier, healthier and fitter that I have in a long long time.

I met Nancy over 3 years ago when I attended my first ever Body Pump class in my local gym. Since then I have been a regular at her BodyStep, BodyPump and BodyAttack classes, which are far from easy or boring!
I decided to ask Nancy for help with getting back to shape after giving birth to my son last autumn. In the past I managed to keep my weight under control by exercising multiple times in a week. This time round, the obvious lack of time prevented me from attending gym or even exercising at home. I decided that I need assistance in having more structured “back to pre-pregnancy fitness levels” so I opted for online PT due to childcare obligations and flexibility of the programme. I loved the structured approach to setting goals and weekly schedule that we followed for over 5 months of our cooperation. Nancy provided me with the exercise and stretch routine, which I could do at a suitable time. What is more important is that she convinced me to track my daily food intake, which I have to say was a challenge due to the lack of time that I was facing. We agreed a calorie limit that I had to stick to and again, I have to say it was not easy, especially during Christmas, holidays, family visits or days when my son was sick or was teething!
In the end we nearly got to where I wanted to be, but the weight loss was not the biggest achievement. I understood that you simply cannot out-exercise your diet, daily tracking taught me that I do eat heathy and balanced meals, but my snacks and desserts were out of control. It was incredible to see how many calories small items of food can add, and how the whole day’s outlook can change because if it. Nancy was always there for me if I needed a quick estimate of a restaurant meal or if I wanted some advice on food choice. She always had an answer ready for my “Why..” or “What if…” – her answers were always backed up by research and science which for person like me is very important. I could not fault Nancy for her commitment and motivation, at times I felt that she was carrying me on her back just pushing me through the difficult days. She is an incredible source of energy and motivation, and I really don’t know where she is getting it from. I would 100% recommend Nancy not only to people who feel like they need to lose a stone or two, but for those who were relatively fit like me but could not shed off the last few kgs.
