Nancy made the sun shine on Mondays with her Shabam classes. She made keeping fit fun. With my son’s wedding looming I wanted to be in the best shape. I didn’t consider myself fat but wanted to tone and lose fat. I felt very comfortable with Nancy so asked her about doing some personal fitness with her. She devised an achievable plan for me, guided me on food calories and even gave me some recipes. She stressed that having some of the things I enjoy (e.g. chocolate!) was ok so long as I kept to my calories target. Our personal training sessions were enjoyable and importantly she showed me how to do exercises correctly. She regularly messaged me to see how I was getting on and if I needed any help. She was always there for me and picked me up when I was struggling or had a down day. We did it slowly which meant I have been able to maintain my new shape. In the end I lost nearly 10kg of fat and I feel great! Nancy is knowledgeable, professional and inspirational and a truly lovely person. I would thoroughly recommend her as a personal trainer.

I first met Nancy at group classes in my local gym, from the moment I arrived Nancy knew I was a newbie to the class and came and introduced herself. From that moment she made me feel at ease and relaxed around her, whilst also checking if I needed to let her know about any problems I had. I have always suffered from back pain and Nancy listened and didn’t push me to hurt myself and gave genuine different options throughout the class for myself and others who had also told her about problems. No one was called out or pushed beyond their limits (don’t worry though she knows when you aren’t working hard enough for yourself and will encourage in the right ways). After going to lots of Nancy’s classes, I felt super relaxed and not judged at all so wanted to approach her about personal training options. As someone who has tried all the fad diets out there and had many a PT (never worked for me) I had a long conversation with Nancy. Nancy listened to me, what I like to eat, what I don’t like to eat, but also and most importantly what I wanted. Nancy set me a wonderful plan but also explained to me what was needed without always removing my chocolate and crispy duck pancakes! For once I felt I could literally have my cake and eat it too, just in moderation right? My one to one sessions with Nancy with constant online support from her have been nothing short of a miracle, even if I am the most awful person at logging my calories! Nancy never ever judged me or shouted or got angry, she simply listened to what was happening outside of my “gym life” and helped me to pull my gym/eating well life and personal / work life together. As someone who has always worked away from home, I needed constant support of calories, hotel room workouts and most importantly understanding what I was doing it all for. Support through a bad back, a foot injury and a breakup, Nancy is there to tailor everything to you and just support. Never ever any telling off, just listening and working out how to get through it. I can’t recommend Nancy highly enough to anyone who is looking to making that step towards a healthier lifestyle and to reach their goals because she will truly partner with you with NO judgement and whole lot of fun along the way! Who doesn’t want to laugh whilst losing weight and getting fit? That is what you get with Nancy.
