I started to see Nancy at the beginning of 2020. My aim, like so many others,  was to loose weight and in particular reduce my fat percentage. The difference with Nancy is that she is always there, even throughout lockdown to help and encourage you and convince you that it is completely possible so that you never feel overwhelmed. Even at times when I fell off the wagon there was no guilt shaming just sensible advice to continue and look at the long term sustainable changes rather than short term wins. 

Even now months later she still checks in with me regularly to see that I am sustaining my goals and to help in any way she can. I keep telling her she’s a gem and changing lives for the better with her sunny nature and her realistic advice. I will always be grateful. Thank you!

I’d been attending Nancy’s Body Attack classes and following her online when I read her inspirational story and saw so many parallels with myself.  I had been focused on losing weight and spent loads of time at the gym, wondering why my body wasn’t where I wanted it to be and thought, I want someone who has been there and understands.  After talking about my objectives and the options, I decided to sign up to Nancy’s online and in-person programme for 6 months.

From the go, Nancy helped me set realistic, but stretching targets.  She checked in with me regularly and was always there if I had a question in between the monthly in-person exercise sessions. She rewrote my gym programme (making my (limited) time there much more efficient), gave me workouts for specific target areas and produced ‘at-home’ and ‘hotel room’ workouts, which I could use when I couldn’t get to the gym.  She planned challenging PT sessions, incorporating different gym equipment, which I then built up the confidence to use alone in my own gym.  It was tough but so rewarding to see the changes she tracked and recorded each month.

She also helped me transform my diet which wasn’t as radical as I’d expected – I didn’t have to starve myself or miss out on what I like, just incorporate small changes and make sensible choices.  Snacking had always been a downfall and she gave me so many options and recipes to try – the kids love the fruit and nut oat bars and fruit muffins I make now!  I have enjoyed trying new foods and am also more confident to make healthier choices when eating out.

In the 6 months I worked with Nancy, I met and surpassed my targets – and couldn’t be happier!  I sent Nancy a message on the way to my holiday telling her she’d changed my life and she really has.  I have definition in my body and a shape I felt proud to show off in my bikini, for the first time in 20 years!  She showed me that I could achieve this realistically – no faddy diets, no obsessive gym behaviour, no missing out on favourite foods.  Importantly, she taught me self-belief – when I started with her I struggled with push ups on my knees and can now do 40 on my toes!  It’s been hard work but it’s been fun – with Nancy’s sunny, positive personality and motivation I’ve felt like I could do it all the way!
