HELLO!

I am a qualified Personal Trainer based in Gloucestershire, UK. I hold a Level 2 Gym Instructor, Level 3 Personal Trainer and Level 3 GP Referral qualifications. I am currently enhancing my knowledge by studying and completing a Level 4 Nutrition and Weight Management qualification.

My clients have come to me wanting to build confidence using the equipment in the gym, especially in the free-weights area. Clients have also reached out for extra support with fat loss, muscle strength and rehabilitation programs.

I specialise in Sports Specific Training, alongside creating programs for clients who want to lose fat, gain a better understanding and relationship with Nutrition and food, and Goal Setting and Identifying Barriers.

A BIT ABOUT ME

I have participated in sports since 2004 when I first started karate at the age of 5. Throughout this time, I have achieved numerous accolades which include grading to my 3rd Dan Black Belt in August 2018, and more recently becoming 2x runner up in the 18-34 yr old female Black Belt Open Division at the 2019 World Cup held in Milton Keynes, UK.

I have represented my club and Team GB in competitions in Australia and Japan, as well as more locally in Ireland and Wales.

I studied sports coaching and anatomy throughout my school and college years which has helped me become a specialist PT in sports specific training, as I was able to learn in depth about each sport, and gain an understanding of what training principles are needed to benefit athletes in various sports. Also during my time in school and college, I trained in strength and conditioning exercise with Athlete Academy which had a great impact on my karate training.

Once I had finished training with Athlete Academy, I went and completed a couple of weeks work experience there to enhance my sports specific training and coaching even more. I was able to plan sessions for numerous sports, including football, rugby, swimming and wheelchair basketball and tailor it to the sport, as well as the individual's goals. I believe this has helped me become the coach today and be the reason I now specialise in sports specific training.

TESTIMONIALS

Hear What Others Have to Say

Alison

"Just like many people over the covid period my exercise levels dropped and snacking and eating increased a couple of months ago I decided enough was enough. I was not very comfortable with heading in to a gym and with a tight and busy schedule going online was an easier option for me plus being more comfortable in my own home, this reduced my anxiety it was just me and Sophie. Sophie has put together a comprehensive plan to help me get fit and one which meets my needs. Her programs have targeted areas like working to make my knees and joints stronger and I've seen a marked improvement. Within two months I've been able to see changes an increase in the amount of reps I can do, increase in the weights I can lift and just all around feeling better. Sophie can also help with nutrition and can help you to make sure you are eating the correct food for your needs, online training has really helped me and I look forward to our training session an added bonus is her comparable prices too"
