Jessica means business! 18 months ago I was sluggish, overweight and felt truly middle aged! I started training with Jessica and the journey began - loads of laughter with a lot of personal determination thrown in! 18 months later I am 2 stone lighter, stronger and feel fantastic. Jessica is very knowledgeable so her sessions are varied, fun and challenging to your own personal level. She’ll change your mindset as well as your body! This wee diamond deserves all 5 stars and more.

I first started going to Jessica in October 2020. Lockdown meant I wasn’t exercising or going walks as often as I should have and I felt like I was stuck in a rut both mentally and physically. Jessica met with me before I could start training with her to make sure it was the right thing for me (it definitely was) which put me at ease as I was a total beginner. She’s been more of a life coach than anything else, really looking at everything in my life from eating to sleep to how I felt emotionally. I started taking vitamins and eating things that were going to benefit my health and body. I struggled with anxiety before and just felt run down and low all the time but since I’ve been going to Jessica I’ve really learned to understand why I felt anxious and what I can do to change my mindset. Weightlifting obviously helps with that as well, there’s something amazing about feeling stronger every month! I’ve developed muscle definition and lost over a stone which I’m delighted with as it’s boosted my confidence massively. I actually enjoy training now, as hard as it is, the endorphins after are worth it. Couldn’t recommend her enough and I’ve made a friend for life 🤩

Under Jessica’s guidance I’ve changed from an anxious, reluctant gym goer to someone who loves to train consistently. Jessica is friendly, knowledgable and professional and takes a holistic approach to supporting and training clients. Her support and guidance is available 7 days a week, and she’s always been there for dietary advice, motivation and encouragement as well as training support. She’s a joy to work with and I look forward to my weekly sessions. I’ve found that Jessica is very attuned to me as a client and adept at changing sessions on the spot to suit mood, sleep, changing goals and interests.

I was doing the 5:2 diet for years and was miserable hardly eating anything/yoyo dieting and seeing no results in the gym. When I reached 90kg I decided I needed help. I was really apprehensive about starting PTing and thought I'd tried everything and that nothing would work. Through my sessions I gradually developed confidence and understanding of how to fuel my body for energy rather than just for the sake of eating. The thing I really appreciated about Jessica is that she gradually fed me information over sessions and didn't bombard me with information so I didn't find sessions or nutrition a chore or overwhelming. Jessica listens to your needs and she'll structure training and nutrition around this. There's no judgement and no food is off limits! Jessica is one of the most hardworking people I've ever met. She loves her field of work, her positivity and motivation are infectious. Jessica has taught me that knowledge is power, and that's definitely the case when it comes to training and nutrition. She has equipped me with with invaluable information that has prepared me for the rest of my life. Jessica is an excellent PT and at 20kg lighter I would highly recommend her to anyone.

I was very nervous about starting with a personal trainer as I hadn’t been in a gym for a very long time, and also had long term problems with shoulder and neck pain which made me anxious about exercising From the start I felt Jess really listened to me and was very reassuring, tailoring my training to exactly suit my needs. She really looked at the whole picture and considered every part of my life when working on a training plan for me. Diet, stress, lifestyle, time management, sleep and health were all taken in to account. Regular exercise has become an integral part of my life now and I am so delighted to have gained these skills before lockdown, as I have been able to keep training at home with regular online contact with Jess.I can wait to get back to regular gym sessions with her. She is a very thoughtful and dedicated trainer who has been a really positive influence in my life. And through continued focus on my problem areas, my shoulder and neck are better than they’ve been in years.. and my jeans fit me! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jess. She’s amazing!

I have been going to Jessica for a few years now and I can't recommend her enough. She is such an amazing, caring, talented and hard working person. She not only helps you get strong and fit and into the best shape you've been she also helps you with understanding foods and what's going on on the inside. When I started with Jessica I was at my heaviest and lowest I have ever been and didn't know how to help myself. My anxiety was so bad that I avoided going out with friends and I was stuck in a job I thought I couldn't leave. Since working with Jessica I have not only lost weight and toned up ! I am now in a job I love, I feel alot happier in myself, I am the STRONGEST I have ever been ! I feel better physically and mentally and I can even go into a gym by myself which was something I was always too scared to do. She has pushed me in all the right directions over the past few years to achieve this and has helped educate me in so many ways possible. I am so happy I have someone this amazing as my PT.

Jessica is knowledgable, kind and effective. I started working with jessica about a year ago and haven't looked back. She has been the driver for so much positive change on my life that i didn't necesarily know i needed at the time. I initially approached Jessica to introduce me to the gym. I have always played sports but hadn't ever incorporated gym workouts. I also didn't want to focus on body image and calorie counting but rather wanted to gain confidence, build strength and care for my body in the long term. Jessicas holistic approach to fitness and wellbeing really resonates with me. I have noticed changes in my body from the get go, without ever having to think about 'less'. Rather, our focus has been on 'more' and ensuring my body, and mind, are getting everything they need. I can actively see improvements filter through into the sports i play as i can perform at a higher level and recover quicker. With jessica there is no one size fits all template, rather she listens actively to my changing goals and schedule and adapts accordingly. Jessica is so much fun to work with, i always look forward to our sessions. This is a place where the 'work' doesn't feel like work, where 'bad' days don't bring us down and where compassion rules. Also, the tunes be bangin.

As a person who is currently working with Jessica I would 100% absolutely recommend her as a personal trainer. I approached Jessica around 6 months ago looking for guidance and support. Although I am consistent with exercise, I knew my nutrition and diet could be better. I had tried different plans and approaches but was never consistent with these, resulting in feelings of failure, limited results and being stuck in a destructive cycle and mindset. Approaching Jessica was nerve wracking but has been the best decision I have ever made for my health. Jessica is very knowledgable and was able to support me with making changes in a way which was realistic and achievable for me. Jessica was very reassuring and it was comforting to know that I wasn’t the only one who felt this way. My mind is now my biggest asset for nutrition and training as Jessica has helped to fill this with positivity and helpful knowledge. This has helped me feel in control whilst still enjoying food and exercise - something I feel I can sustain in the long-term. Jessica has challenged that negative voice in my head telling me I can’t do something and I’m now more confident with my technique and using weight lifting equipment at the gym. For anyone who feels they need some support and guidance with training and/or nutrition, Jessica is your answer. She is a lovely, kind and knowledgable PT who takes the time to understand your goals and will help you get there

After only using cardio equipment in the gym for years I started with Jessica to give me the confidence to lift weights and build strength. Her holistic approach has achieved this ensuring I now have the skills and knowledge to lift free weights and resistance train safely on my own. However, two years later I still train with Jessica twice a week as her sessions are well thought out and motivational. She is constantly reassessing my training needs and programme to make sure I continue to progress. Jessica has also been there when I've asked for nutritional guidance giving me the correct level of support. Along with all her knowledge and experience Jessica is an extremely warm, friendly, approachable and above all supportive PT. BUT best of all in this busy life it is wonderful to spend two hours a week with someone who is there just for me! I highly recommend Jessica as a PT.

Jess has helped me get back into going to the gym and eating well again after a long lockdown of not doing that. Throughout going to Jess I have learned so much more about how to use equipment at the gym correctly and what to use it for, which in turn has helped me gain confidence in going back to the gym. She has helped me gain a knowledge of nutrition to go along with the training which and helped me see results, before I knew little about the eating side of training and just went to the gym and stuck with what I knew. Whereas now Jess has helped me use both these skills together to make a change. I would highly recommend training with Jess as she has well rounded knowledge of training and her positivity encourages you to better yourself !

When I started with Jessica I was already fairly fit, going to a least 3 gym classes a week and attending bootcamp. I had good knowledge about eating healthy and counting calories, however following the first lockdown I wanted more consistency. My wedding was 9 months away and I wanted to get into the best shape of my life. Jessica really made sure this happened!! What I appreciated the most from Jessica was that I felt she was truly invested in me. Each week I submitted a diary holding myself accountable to goals and targets but never did I feel judged. Jessica was always there on hand to be supportive and offer advice on how to improve or sometimes to say great week keep it up!! I always enjoyed the training sessions and each week felt myself getting stronger and as this happened my weights would get heavier. I liked the fact it was always tailored to me. I was weight training 3 times a week and walking. No major cardio involved yet. In terms of my eating- in the beginning Jessica took me down a very different path that I would have went on myself which although was daunting I trusted her and the process. I was originally eating around 1200 calories a day and as this slowly increased I found I didn’t gain weight. What surprised me the most was I could eat nearly 1600 calories a day before I started to gain weight!! We then continued to increase the calories to 2100 to build muscle mass and although the scales went up at this point I was understanding the process and enjoying the food I could eat!! Then at the beginning of the year lockdown happened again. However, Jessica put together a programme for me to do in the house. She provided me with videos and clear instructions on what to do ensuring I continued to progress. By doing this it really helped with my mental well-being and although we weren’t training together I was still sending in the check in diary’s. Then when restrictions allowed we took the training outside! Everything was adapted and it felt great to be back at it! As this happened we slowly started to reduce the calories and really focus on the macros. Slowly the cardio started to increase too. It was only really the last 2 months in the lead up to the wedding that I felt like I was making some sacrifices, however I still continued to eat out and have a drink at the weekend. Jessica was really supportive of this and I would send her the restaurant’s menus in advance so she could help me choose the best option! Come the wedding day, I truly felt the best I’ve ever felt. I can’t thank Jessica enough for her support, encouragement and knowledge throughout the whole training process. When I first met her I told her what I wanted to achieve and she made sure I reached those goals!!

I was really uncomfortable and nervous before going to see Jessica as i have never enjoyed the whole gym atmosphere. Jessica is very understanding of how you perceive yourself and really good at putting you at ease. The changes to my body composition and mindset have been impressive to say the least. I really enjoy my time with her at the gym and she is so positive and encouraging. If you are looking for a PT then look no further as Jessica has such a vast all round knowledge and i would recommend her wholeheartedly as a positive, uplifting and inspiring PT.

Fantastic personal trainer, highly recommend. Working with Jessica has given me focus not only on exercise but nutrition. She has an amazing all round knowledge on health and her PT knowledge is immense. Jessica’s focus on technique and strength has allowed me to get back to the gym following a back injury. My shape has changed dramatically, my knowledge on nutrition further increased and a drop in weight also. Jessica challenges you to think what you can achieve, whilst supporting you to do it. Not always easy, but definitely worth it.

My life was completely turned on it's head during Lockdown, as many of ours were. My mental wellbeing was at a real low and I knew I needed to do something to overcome it. I first went to CBT, which helped massively. And from this I realised that my best chance to fight back was through exercise. The reason Jess is so excellent is that she works holistically. My sleep was all over the shop, I was comfort eating mindlessly, not taking in enough fluids and I had gained a lot of 1.5 stone. For someone who is 5ft this is quite substantial, and a key indicator of the state of my mental health. Jess had me monitor all of the above, to make me more conscious of what my mind and body need to be able to train properly. And moreover how to function better. One of the biggest changes was after a week of socialising and out drinking 4 times in the week to great excess, I was a total mess. I had been drinking like this for years. Jess highlighted the impact of alcohol on my mind and body, and after a really rough training session I decided that I would be more mindful of this. I have not stopped drinking, but drink far less. In terms of training, having been an avid gym goer on and off my whole life, I have never seen changes in my body such as I have since Jess started training me. I most enjoy the sessions as Jess has created a training programme with all of the things I enjoy the most, and changes the programme regularly, constantly adding more weight, and more complex moves in a controlled way. Her own technique is excellent and she monitors you all through the session to make sure you have the correct form in order to target the muscles you are working on. Lifting weights brings me so much joy and seeing your own progression is amazing, I have learned so much. In summary, since joining Jess last September I am in a much happier, healthier and stronger state of mind. Having a coach as supportive as Jess ripples through the rest of your life. Apart from feeling more mentally well, I have lost over 20 pounds in weight, my arms have definition for the first time in my life and going from a non-runner I am now training for a half marathon. The strength training on my legs have enabled me to take to running in a way I thought wasn't possible for me. I cannot recommend highly enough!
