When I first started working with Nancy in 2015, I was desperate. Over the years I had followed the typical “yoyo” dieting pattern. I knew a lot about nutrition but I wasn’t able to use that knowledge effectively in my life and I was at my heaviest weight. I was too self conscious to enjoy any form of exercise and was very unfit.

Luckily for me, Nancy understood the stumbling blocks and fears, so she could break that weight loss and fitness journey into small achievable steps and motivate me to keep going. Her positive, cheerful approach is infectious and over the years she has supported and challenged me to attempt activities I had never even considered possible. I had never realised that exercise could actually be great fun and I had never imagined it would be such an integral part of my life!

Nancy’s approach is highly personalised and holistic. As I lost weight and did more exercise, she adapted our sessions to match my changing needs, maintaining interest and motivation. Unlike the “yoyo” dieting I had done previously, my weight remains relatively stable because I have changed my lifestyle and eating habits. When I was ill for several months, Nancy helped me to value the “very small steps” I could do and not give up completely on healthy eating. I am certain that not only did she make it easier to resume that fitness journey once I had recovered, but her support helped the recovery process itself. Nancy has both the knowledge and expertise to adapt her approach to help manage the obstacles life puts in the way. Her realistic and positive attitude has enabled me to maintain my new healthy approach to life for the last 8 years and when ever I feel I am losing my way, I know a “Nancy Fix” will get me back on track!

I can honestly say that working with Nancy has changed my life for the better and I just wish I had met her sooner! At 63 I finally have my weight under control and not only do I now enjoy exercise, I am the fittest I have ever been.

If you are wondering if a personal trainer is for you, I unreservedly recommend Nancy. Whatever your age, level of fitness or weight, Nancy can map a journey specifically for you. What’s more, you will find that her bubbly personality and belief in you will not only make it motivating, but also fun! Her support extends beyond the actual sessions, which helps me stay focused and mindful. Her weekly Instagram posts are full of excellent, realistic advice and she regularly checks in with me, offering support to manage social events, meals out etc. She really does provide a complete package of support.

Talk about motivation, consistency and support! Dr Nancy Priston is your gal. I’ve struggled with weight loss since a young age, tried every diet and been through with quite a few PTs. Nancy was my last resort I thought, either I am going to do it this time or never! I attend her body attack class, and her big smile, energy level, and confidence inspires me.

I’ve already lost 2 stone, dropped nearly two dress size to a much more toned body, I still a little way to go but the support I have from Nancy is second to none. She drives me to achieve better results, and taught me it is not just about exercise but eating habits too. She has the full package, she gives me the mental and physical support, her advice is always spot on.

I felt sluggish and fat before I started personal training with Nancy, with the correct diet and the exercise routine now in place, I feel energetic and full of life. Haha I am full of life before, now is like there is no stopping me. I managed to complete a ‘tree climbing track’ activity that I wouldn’t have done before –  it requires arm strength and leg muscles.

Nancy makes the transition process easy by understanding who I am, what I am like, and she has a personal touch you know, she is not pushy but understanding and gives suggestions that will work with your lifestyle. She is available all the time to support me, and no other PT has come close to that before (And I did have some good ones).

So to conclude, Nancy is the best! I think you need to find a PT that understands your need and your goal, can be there for you, understands your weaknesses and helps you to  find solutions together.
