I've been doing personal training with Carol for just over six months now and am really noticing a difference in my overall fitness. She is really friendly and supportive, but also knows when to push me further to achieve my objectives. The set-up is great, very private, and with a lot of different options for training, so each session is unique and fun. I very highly recommend Carol's personal training services.

Carol is the perfect mix of motivation, drive and friendly support. Going in I was worried about being bullied into pushing myself beyond my capabilities but sessions with Carol are the complete opposite. My sessions are completed through laughter and encouragement. I have always come out smiling and exhausted. After breaking my toe randomly, Carol was flexible with types of exercises to suit my abilities and pain threshold. Originally I planned for 6 sessions... 6 months down the line and I still look forward to being pushed to achieve my personal goals.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my sessions with Carol. What started out as an experimental option to broaden my fitness training from a pure cardio base, became a consistent and integral part of my routine. And by giving me the confidence to explore resistance training I have completely changed the way I set my fitness goals. These sessions gave me a structure that kept me inspired long after I usually lose my focus. Thanks Carol, much appreciated. K

In my case I wanted to lose weight. I had been given a stern talking-to by my doctor and decided it was about time I took it seriously. I found Live for Fitness in my local area and went to meet Carol for an introductory chat. We discussed my goals and what I wanted to achieve and talked about how she could develop an exercise plan for my needs, and also some diet hints and tips to further help me reach my target.

I decided to come and see Carol as I had always struggled with my weight and was fed up with how much it impacted my confidence. Carol had been recommended to me by my sister so I decided to take the plunge. She made me feel at ease immediately and made the process much less frightening. After a few weeks she felt more like a friend that a personal trainer and I would actually look forward to the sessions.

When I first met Carol, I told her how keen I was to get help to reshape the way I looked at exercise and at food – in a bid to get me away from an endless stream of fad diets. Whilst I lost weight quickly, they were unsustainable and also incredibly unhealthy. I knew that I needed a radical change in my eating and fitness habits if I was to lose the weight I needed to before having my baby. Carol was just fantastic.

I went to Carol because I suffered with SPD (also known as pelvic girdle pain) during pregnancy and was still feeling the effects a year later. I was desperate to exercising again as I used to be a keen jogger but had little idea of how to do that without hurting myself of triggering the SPD pain further.

When my wedding was fast approaching and I went for that dress fitting, shock! horror! it couldn’t be done up. I knew I had to take action. Carol was my ‘knightette’ in shining armour. It wasn’t easy for her as I am a type 1 diabetic, but she was brilliant helping me with menu plans and the exercise

After turning 40 in 2012, I was very aware of the saying ‘Hit 40 and get fit or get fat!’ I was doing the latter. I had joined a gym in an attempt to get fit and maybe unsurprisingly I stopped going after about 6 sessions. I need to be fit for my job, working as a stunt performer on some very high profile films, such as ‘Captain America’, War Horse, and have doubled for Matt Damon on films like ‘The Bourne Ultimatum’ and ‘Greenzone’.
