I began regularly Personal Training with Rita from August last year. My initial requirement was for weight loss prior to a holiday in October and I asked Rita to help me lose 7-8 pounds. By the beginning of October I had lost 14lbs through a combination of exercise programmes and dietary recommendations, far exceeding my expectations.
Last weekend I completed a Half Marathon, achieving a personal ambition I have held for many years (but never seriously contemplated actually doing until last December). Following one of our regular progress reviews, Rita suggested that I could use my training sessions to realise this ambition and set the race as a focal point of our sessions.
I was very impressed by the comprehensive and coordinated approach that she took in preparing me for the race. I hadn’t appreciated the planning that would go into getting ready for such an event. For some reason, I had assumed I would just be told to incrementally increase treadmill mileage. She tailored an individual programme specifically for me, incorporating both variable distance road running as well as gym based resistance and muscle developing work to compliment the running. In addition to this she also provided essential advice about correct running shoes (what I should look for when buying etc.) explaining leg and foot muscle physiology in layman’s terms and how they were impacted when running. She also provided dietary advice for both long-term and build-up to the race.
Whilst this in itself is credit to her abilities as a Personal Trainer, what really impressed and what I appreciated most was her efforts and commitment on the day of the race itself above and beyond the regular duties of a Personal Trainer. I would thoroughly recommend Rita as an outstanding Personal Trainer to anybody - Abby Turley
