Nancy is a breath of fresh air! She was so amazing at helping me get to my ideal weight. I have completely changed my understanding of food and weight loss. I highly recommend her to anyone.

Natasha Johnson, Online PT 2022

Nancy is a truly inspirational, amazing lady who I feel privileged to know and call a friend.

I asked Nancy 1 year ago to help me establish a healthy eating pattern which had been lost dud to many years of shift work.

Within 10 months I achieved my goal through Nancy’s support,  knowledge and guidance.

She never judged me if I lapsed in any way.

One year on I now eat properly and do regular exercise classes which I would never have been able to do without Nancy

Pat Allen, Online Pt, 2022

I have struggled with my weight my entire life. Yo yo ing but mostly putting back on whatever I’ve lost – plus a bit more.

Nancy worked with my to adopt a consistent approach and helped me understand how weight fluctuates – and that you don’t have to give up when you have a blip !

I always felt encouraged, supported and listened to. I never felt a failure and Nancy also equipped me with the mental tools needed to stay on course.

In addition – the whole process was great fun

I cannot thank Nancy enough for her help.

Sue Kirby, face to face PT, 2020-21

I worked with Nancy back in 2020. I wanted to shift around a stone & a half. After trying myself for a few months I decided to contact Nancy who I knew from my gym. She posted lots of success stories on her site so as I’d not had much luck myself I thought I needed help! It was the best decision!! She told me what I didn’t want to hear – calories & diet more important than exercise – so must restrict calories! Although I probably knew this having someone do your measurements & work out the daily calories I needed to lose weight was the game changer. I trusted Nancy & thought I’d give it a go. It worked! The weight started to come off & after six months I had lost what I wanted. Nancy is so encouraging & easy to work with which really helped. Even now if I put on a few pounds I go back to what Nancy taught me & shift them. Two years later I’m still the same weight, with a few fluctuations! You still need to be motivated but I think with Nancy’s help everyone can lose weight & learn enough to keep it off. You just need to read all her success stories to see what she does really works!! Number one thing I learnt is no food is off limits, eat what you want but in moderation. Can’t say better than that!! Thanks Nancy ❤️

Karin Jones, combined face to face and online PT, 2020

Nancy is not just your normal personal trainer. She knows her stuff, she is super fun and has become an amazing friend.

I first came to Nancy after recovering from Hip surgery. She has helped rehab and get me fit to play netball, lose weight, go back to spin, become an umpire and she is getting me ready for a hip replacement and no doubt help me rehab too.

She mentors me outside of our sessions too. Can’t sing her praises enough!

Nicci Morris, face to face PT, 2018 -present

Over the years I’ve tried a number of different ways to try and get fit and lose weight. I’ve done a reasonable job with fitness but couldn’t keep the weight off. Working with Nancy I’ve finally managed to get to a good weight, improve fitness and strength but for the first time keep the weight off. I’ve learnt valuable lessons and learnt simple techniques to achieve this. It’s also been great fun 😁. I can honestly highly recommend to anyone who wants to get healthier and fitter and you’ll enjoy the whole experience that will set you up for ongoing success.

Mark Guymer, Online Pt 2022-2023

Nancy is just the best PT. She is so inspirational and full of motivation to help you achieve your goals. Sessions with Nancy are always fun. Over the years of working with Nancy she has got me through half marathons, Ride London, London to Brighton and back from injury to fitness. At times when I felt my goals weren’t achievable she’s given me the knowledge and confidence to believe in myself and led me to achieve what I thought was impossible. What I love about Nancy is that she listens to the way your body is behaving and tailors the program to get the best out of you whatever the hurdle. What are you waiting for? Give Nancy a call and start the the journey to achieving what you’ve always dreamt of. I can guarantee you won’t regret it!

Helen Gillbe, Face to Face PT 2015 – present

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.

Zoe Harper, Online and Face to Face PT, 2019 – present

What wouldn’t I recommend! Nancy is super supportive, amazingly positive and exceptionally knowledgable! She responds quickly to questions and is always ready to provide information and advice.

Isabel Hutchings, Combined online and face to face PT, 2018 – present

I first met Nancy when I managed to make it to a very early spin class at my gym which I hadn’t been to before. It may have been early in the morning but the motivation, enthusiasm and fun that was had in that class made it feel like I’d had the best day ever and I made it to as many as these early morning classes as I could after that. I always came out buzzing and Nancy just has a way of making everyone around her feel fantastic whatever their ability. And because if this I decided she would be the perfect person to take me on another journey of PT which involved not just the training side but nutrition too giving a great package and done with absolute precision, care and kindness. As a PT Nancy is always available to answer any questions however small and the results were really fantastic. Thanks you Nancy for you constant support and amazing encouragement.

Lucy Dodds, Face to Face PT, 2020 – 2021

Until I had my first child 5yrs ago, I didn’t bother with exercise, after my first I met Nancy Priston & she’s been by my side ever since. She has supported me through another pregnancy I exercised with her support until I was 33wks & the spin bike couldn’t hold me anymore & then the other sleep deprived side of it all as soon as I was cleared to exercise again, with more tailored workouts on top of gym classes. She is an inspiration & I can’t imagine working with anyone else. Thank you for everything Nancy, mainly being the devil on my shoulder xxx

Kat Beasley, Face to Face PT, 5.5 months 2018 -2019 (continued to present)

I met Nancy two years ago in a local gym. I loved attending her super fun classes but then Covid appeared and we were asked to stay at home. I had not enjoyed home workouts so I asked Nancy for help and she sent me short but very effective workouts which I could easily do at home and they also helped me to improve my running. Nancy’s positive attitude has kept me going and she made me feel very proud even of my smallest achievements. Nancy gave me some excellent advice regarding nutrition and although I still enjoy a good glass of wine I definitely make much better choices when it comes to food and especially take aways. Thank you Nancy for all your support. I am so looking forward to going back to the gym and returning to Nancy’s super fun classes.

Marketa Mullins, Online PT, 4 months 2020

I highly recommend Nancy – if you’re looking to really make a long lasting difference, be supported throughout and have fun with a lovely lady then Nancy is absolutely the PT for you.

Having never really taken gym classes before I fell upon Nancy at one of her bodypump classes and soon became a regular to any of her classes….adding spin, attack and step (badly)….yet to be convinced to try Sh’bam 😏 ,….her classes are always so hard to get into but that’s because they’re super popular as she makes them so much fun! Through these classes I got to see Nancy’s infectious happiness for exercise and having fun and when I needed a “kick up the backside” reached out to start face to face and online PT with her. It came at exactly the right moment and I’m honestly amazed at what a difference it’s made. Nancy makes it simple and straightforward but is also so supportive and always there when needed – from menu planning when I’ve been working abroad (Swiss translation included 😂) to being on the end of the phone through lockdown and being a massive support as we navigated Gym closure and normal routines ripped apart. Thanks Nancy, can’t wait to get back to your classes 😀

Abbi Briscoe, Face to Face PT 2019 – 2020 6 months

Nancy is the most inspiring and motivating fitness coach. I signed up for a mix of 1-2-1 fitness sessions and weight loss coaching, and despite me making every excuse under the sun as to why I couldn’t manage a session or manage my calorie intake, she persisted! She’s completely non-judgemental, utterly supportive and wants the best for you. Even when I had given up she didn’t give up on me, and kept in touch in a gentle, supportive way. She takes a genuine interest in your well-being and has the most positive outlook on life – a very happy lady with a welcoming smile. I have no hesitation at all in recommending Nancy.

Debbie Groves combined online and face to face pt, 2019

I first met Nancy doing her spin class at Nuffield in Surbiton. I loved those classes as she wasn’t the shouty type of instructor, more the encouraging type! What I really liked was that it was always ‘your workout’ rather than having everyone try to achieve the same thing. 

So when my clothes started feeling tight and I needed a kick start, I turned to Nancy for support. Her approach is simple – eat less, move more! And it works. Many of us trick ourselves into believing that training is key and if we train enough then we can eat and drink what we like. You can’t!! The simple approach of tracking calories and training sensibly gives you nowhere to hide and I managed to hit my goals (which weren’t huge but I’d never achieved them of my own accord) quite quickly whilst also maintaining a healthy social life and a sense of balance. 

The great thing is if I add on a few pounds at any time and things start feeling tight again, I know what I need to do! I’m also much more comfortable knowing an effective way of training in the gym on my own after my many Friday morning 121 training sessions with Nancy.  Nancy is great at establishing a training regime which fits your needs and taking any injuries / medical issues (such as my bad back/hips) into account. 

If you are looking for a sensible and long term approach to getting and staying fit and healthy then Nancy is your lady!!

I highly recommend Nancy! She’s extremely supportive and always finding ways to help keep you on track. She’s changed my mindset towards food which was a challenge .

Bhamina Oberoi, Online PT 3.5 months 2019 – 2020

First meet Nancy in a spinning class she was teaching,it was fun,enjoyable and the 45 mins flew past.Having had PT training before and always find that I get bored with what I was doing,thought that I would try Nancy to PT me because she knows what she is talking about and is fun to work with. Having started in February and doing a 3 month plan,it was extremely easy to follow with the food plan and the encouragement that Nancy gave me was amazing.The results were just what I have wanted and the insight into food and exercise is the best advice I have ever had.Thanks Nancy

Paul Johnson, Online PT 3 months 2020

I first came across Nancy at my gym some years back as she taught Aqua there.  She was so lively and fun her classes were soon booked up VERY quickly.  Then she moved on and I lost touch with her but she came back!  Word got out she was doing various classes but a friend recommended Sh’bam.  Reluctantly I went along as I am no dancer but it was fab – great music, disco lights – the works!   I also did her Step class which was a really good workout – as all her classes are.  I had thought about getting a PT before but somehow always shied off.  However just before the first lockdown I braved it and emailed Nancy as I knew she did PT work.  She emailed me all the various options with no pressure at all.  She emailed recipes/so much information which was really useful and which I am still using.  So I decided to go ahead and then lockdown happened.  So no gym available but Nancy had a list of workouts I could manage (with no equipment needed obviously) – she worked with me on my targets – tone up/stop the boredom eating/was very encouraging when I seemed to plateau but nicely kicked me in the butt when I needed it too!  Every Monday she would text me and see how things were going and was always there to answer any questions/queries I might have.  She was absolutely brilliant – I achieved my targets and then some.  I would recommend her without hesitation – she is not just an extremely nice person but she knows her stuff too!  I loved working with her and would do it again.

Christine Vinten, Online PT 3 months 2020

I first met Nancy at a spin class and straight away felt more at ease. I’d never been to a class and was very early into my exercise journey so had no idea what to expect. She was so kind and friendly. Nancy not only supports you but she gets to know you. I then started one to one PT sessions which were great. She taught me that exercise can actually be fun! And that MyFitnessPal would be such a great tool! Not only to help keep me on track but it actually made me realise that years of guesstimating was not accurate at all! I think I still guess here and there but with the guidance of Nancy it’s far more accurate than it once was. She helped me realise that meeting goals and targets is worth a bit of sweat! Our sessions were great fun and always motivational. The level of support that Nancy provides is like no other. She’s always there to help with guesstimating dinners out, tips and tricks to help Keep on track and even thinking of ideas for uni classes! Nancy goes above and beyond which I think is so clear to see by all of these testimonials. All I can say is thank you Nancy! I couldn’t have done this without you! I will be forever grateful for you opening my eyes to the fact that running is not the only exercise! I would highly recommend Nancy to anyone and everyone! Xxx

Olivia Howe, Face to Face PT, 2018 – present

When a friend recommended Nancy to me she said she was inspirational and the best person to help with weight loss guidance. Nancy helped me with 2 months of online support in May 2020. As long as I followed her advice with diet , recording food  intake  and exercise I found it reasonably easy to lose weight and some long unwanted inches . Nancy proved to be a patient , helpful, enthusiastic, kind and very supportive mentor. Nothing was too much trouble for her and she was always positive and encouraging during my static moments.I would recommend Nancy without hesitation to anyone who needs help with shifting and disposing of those surplus lbs and inches  . She’s great !!!
