I have for long wanted to improve my fitness and lose weight, but have always found it difficult to set myself meaningful goals and then stick to them. Mandy became my personal trainer in December 2020, and at the time we discussed what I was looking to achieve and how I could get there. Mandy then tailored a fitness programme around these goals, involving a series of well-structured weight and cardio exercises, combined with a realistic diet plan. For the first time, I was able to break through my psychological barrier, which had hampered my previous attempts to get fit, and quickly started to see results. Over six months, I dropped a dress size, had a much healthier diet, and had greater self-confidence. Mandy has extensive knowledge and experience; each session pushes me out of my comfort zone, making them both interesting and enjoyable. I have no hesitation in recommending Mandy as a personal trainer, and look forward to continuing my programme with her.

I found Mandy to be very professional and very well informed, not only in relation to sports massaging, but also the COVID-19 guidelines.  Her premises and work area have been very well set out in a very professional manner and her level of hygiene was very reassuring and, in my view, accommodated the needs around COVID-19 at a very high standard.

Mandy identified areas of tightness in my muscles that were not obvious to myself, which could have been gearing towards an injury.  Mandy performed a massage that was very much catered to my individual needs and kept me fully informed during the process.  I found that, even though Mandy is newly qualified in this field, she came across very confident in her knowledge and in delivery her massage. She was able to answer my questions and gave advice around home techniques that I can perform in-between massage sessions.  I would definitely recommend Mandy, and not only to sporty people, but anyone that has concerns around pain and tightness, as I do feel that Mandy could help or give advice.

I had all kinds of lumps and bumps in the muscle on my right shoulder and Mandy was awesome at managing this. It’s had a huge impact to my everyday life.
