Testimonials

I first started training with Helen just three months after the birth of my third child. My plan was to lose weight and tone up but what I really didn’t expect was how much I would enjoy the process. In the past exercise had always seemed like a chore but Helen has made our two sessions a week really fun and varied. Every session is different and I can see how much time and effort Helen puts into working out my fitness plan. She has also given me lots of great dietary advice and it’s clear that she cares a great deal about her client’s health and wellbeing. Nine months after I started, I am now in the best shape I have been in for years and I feel fantastic. Personal training with Helen has totally changed my attitude to exercise and, even though I’ve now lost all the baby weight, I can’t imagine ever giving up my two hours a week working out with her.

I met Helen after seeing her Insanity classes advertised on Facebook. I was a little nervous about going as I thought everyone would be fitness freaks and I’d be the odd one out. How wrong could I have been? I really enjoyed the class and Helen was so welcoming. She helped me with some of the exercises and everyone in the class was also very friendly. I then signed up to her “Eat Clean, get lean, 28 day body transformation” and the only thing I can say is “wow”. Helen really helped us all with the diet guidelines and I was over the moon to lose 10lbs, especially as I had a couple of cheat days!! It really has changed the way I buy food and I never thought I’d say this but I’m enjoying the exercise classes. I’ve signed up for a 6 week challenge commencing in January, I think I may be addicted! However, I don’t think I could have done this without Helen. She is, without a doubt, a true motivator and I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Finally, I have found the perfect combination of a healthy eating plan with fun and varied exercise, with no one session being the same as the last. Not only have I lost weight (16lbs in 5 weeks), inches and started toning up but most importantly, I feel the best I have felt for a long time, physically and mentally. I have more energy and renewed vitality.

Since completing the course, I have been following a maintenance programme that Helen has formulated for me which I am finding very beneficial.

Helen is a lovely person, very professional and a great motivator. I would highly recommend her and the body blitz course, not just for those that want to lose weight but for toning, fitness and over all well-being.

My husband and I did the 28 day challenge together and not only did we both lose more than 5% of our body weight it’s completely transformed the way that we eat as a couple and a family. The weight has continued to keep falling even as we’ve allowed ourselves once or twice weekly slips because the rest of the time it’s so easy to eat clean once you’re used to it. I’m not sure we’ll ever be bored of carrot and ginger soup!

By the end of 2020 I was feeling utterly deflated, I was lacking energy and knew I needed to take back control of my body. Helen’s reset and refocus challenge gave me just the opportunity to do that. Helen’s guidance and support empowered me to start providing my body with what it needed, along with her motivational exercise classes – I felt refreshed, was sleeping better, had better skin and lost some weight. Very much recommended ?

I have been meaning for ages to send you a note to say that it is thanks for your diet plan (and great classes) that I lost and have kept off the weight I had been battling with for a few years after pregnancy.

I’ve stuck with it pretty religiously as I discovered after the diet that I couldn’t eat gluten and lactose any more (but also had other health issues) … anyway, I’m not only a lot healthier and happier, I have a ton more energy and my asthma is SO much better!

So, THANK YOU!!!! I would never have discovered my food intolerances and other health issues if I hadn’t done your diet plan / 28 day Body Challenge!

‘Training with Helen was the best birthday present I have had! It was a relief to get stuck into post-baby No 2 workouts instead of worrying about getting back in shape. No excuse this time either as my baby could come along! The sessions are varied, fun, hard work but very rewarding. Best of all I can now fit back into all my pre-baby clothes. The part that is hard to quantify is how much better you feel in yourself and that is mainly down to Helen’s gentle encouragement, great tips, fun approach and no-nonsense attitude. Not once did I dread exercising, instead it became ‘me time’ (even with my baby tagging along) and really rewarding.’

I joined Helen on a 60 day Body Transformation. A typical almost 40 Mum I drink and eat a bit too much and could exercise more. Helen is very structured with classes online and in person (covid permitting). She also provides nutritional support; this was invaluable to me and now the 60 days is over I have applied many of her tips and ideas to my meal planning. I would recommend Helen is a heartbeat for her positive, realistic and non-judgemental approach to helping you along your fitness journey. The classes are fun and easy to fit into your week and Helen really focuses you on the end goal.

I started on the 28 day transformation because I wanted to lose weight and get fit. The diet is strict but this worked in my favour. Previous diets that allow treats simply mean I cave into temptation. After the first week of clean eating, I felt much more energetic and no longer had sugar cravings. I was far less bloated and people commented on how well I was looking. The insanity classes are tough but I feel great when I finish. Helen gives you all the support you need to stay on track and this is the first diet I’ve managed to stick to in years. The clean eating isn’t just about losing weight but makes you feel great at the same time.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for opening my eyes and supporting me through your clean eating programme. I can honestly say I feel like a different person! I’ve got so much more energy, I’m sleeping better than I’ve ever done, I’ve kicked my ‘2 cans a day’ Diet Coke addiction, I’ve rediscovered my love of cooking – and lost half a stone in the process!

I won’t pretend the sunny bank holidays weren’t a little tough without alcohol(!) but sticking to the clean eating has not only been easy but really enjoyable. I’m loving the new food and I haven’t missed the things I thought I would like bread and huge chunks of cheddar!

I feel like this has completely reset my whole outlook and approach to food, and there’s no doubt in my mind that this is a new way of eating rather than just the 28 day challenge.

Thank you for all the support, encouragement and recipe ideas. There is only one problem – I ran out of holes on my belt this morning!!
