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!

As I have my wedding coming up early next year, and like most people find it harder to exercise and stick to a healthy diet over winter months when it’s cold and dark, I wanted to lose some weight and get into a healthy eating and exercise routine over summer. This is where Nancy came in, and she has been absolutely amazing. Nancy uses my fitness pal to track what you eat and is constantly giving advice and ideas to improve diet. She completely understands, though, that we’re all human and have a calorific treat occasionally!
Nancy tracks progress via weekly measurements and although I was on online client, I felt so supported over the 3 months. She is so positive and often gives you that bit of encouragement you need to get to the gym and have a good workout. I am a huge fan of Nancy’s fitness classes too – she manages to make them so much fun and I always leave a Nancy class with a huge smile on my face!
Following my 3 month plan with Nancy, I am more confident in my figure than I thought I’d ever be and I have found so many healthy snacks and meals that I know that I can sustain my current weight.
Thank you so much Nancy for all of your help and support – you’re amazing!
