“In July 2014 I was told I had to have a completed abdominal Hysterectomy at the age of 52. My weight had slowly crept up to 13 stone and I was uncomfortable and unhappy. Twelve years previously to this I was fit and running half marathons. Having read many articles that most people gain weight after a Hysterectomy, Simon encouraged me to try to lose weight and get as fit as possible before my operation. He wrote me a programme that gently eased me back in to a routine. He weighed me, measured me and gave me fantastic nutritional advice.”

“I met Sacha at the gym at a turning point in my life when I had decided that I needed to make changes to have a better work - life balance and better health. I approached her and discussed my goals and priorities back in April 2016. I recall saying to her that she didn't need to advise me about diet or food as I had a good diet already! Almost 6 months on and now I can't imagine not training regularly to build skills / strength / flexibility. My whole physique has changed. I learnt about nutrition - the most important thing was increasing protein and how to do this in a sustainable way. Sacha has enabled me to become stronger, more confident and as a side effect my figure has altered - inches lost from my waist and abdomen as a result of the weight training and attention to diet.
Sacha is interested and passionate about what she does and she walks or runs through the whole journey with you - she is not afraid of being challenged (as a doctor I have queried and debated many things with her and we look for the evidence and move forward) she is always thinking of new and different ways of helping you to achieve your goals.
Since meeting Sacha I feel I have developed a respect for my body and awareness of its capabilities that previously I was totally oblivious to- I am enjoying my 40s and my figure - I love clothes which now look great and most of all I love that I can squat 62 kilograms and not look like a body builder!”

“"When I decided to do some weight training to feel strong after some time off the bike, I thought it would be best to learn how to do it properly right from the beginning rather than get into bad habits and do it wrong.
I never realised how much training with Sacha would inspire me, not only to get it right but to really love something other than cycling !
I think having a girl trainer helps too, because you don't feel inhibited and it's great to see another girl doing weights and looking and feeling strong.
She keeps me going when I'm struggling and really motivates me to keep going and getting stronger. Can't recommend her highly enough!"”
