Why did you start personal training?
My Dad and brother go to the gym lots and I wanted another way of getting fitter as I had been really ill for a long time and had lost a lot of muscle and fitness
Is personal training what you expected?
I love it! I wasn't sure what I'd make of it and thought I might get bored inside a gym, but I absolutely love it!

Would probably be any form of squat!
​

Probably something to do with
the bike, or running!
​

a gym with other people,

Why did you start personal programming?
I signed up to the Great South Run in 2017 and felt I needed help to get me across the line in terms of leg strength and endurance. There is so much conflicting information out there from "self proclaimed experts" that I needed an actual expert to guide me.
Is programming what you expected?
I began with high hopes but some previous bad experiences from generic programs from more corporate gyms. Personal programming has exceeded all my expectations.
I built leg and core muscle quicker than I ever thought possible, my stamina and fitness improved week on week and I found my enjoyment for the programme constantly growing.
What was your biggest fear
about programming?
That I would fail in being able to
complete the workouts or stay
committed to the programme.
I shouldn't have worried!
Favourite exercise:
Prior to programming - rowing.
Now - I love a weighted lunge.
​
Least favourite exercise:
Burpees!
​
Anything else you'd like to say?
Starting personal programming was the best decision I could have made.
I successfully completed the Great South Run and plan to continue with programming as a way to maintain my running goals whilst also changing my body shape and losing weight.
I feel so supported and motivated by Lucy - she really listens to what I want to accomplish and created a plan that is truly tailored to my abilities and my goals.
