Hi, my name is Sophie, and I am a Level 3 qualified personal trainer.

I am currently finishing my final year studying Sport & exercise science at Cardiff Metropolitan University. Throughout my degree I have particularly enjoyed my psychology modules and learnt the importance of psychology in both sport and exercise.

I believe that it all starts with your mind, and I want to show you that by stepping out of your comfort zone you can achieve great things. Whether you are looking to improve your confidence, lose weight or gain muscle I will create a plan that is tailored to your goals and hold you accountable along the way. Exercise should never feel like a chore, therefore, to get the most out of your sessions I aim to make them as enjoyable as possible while still challenging you to push yourself.

When it comes to my own training, I enjoy both weight training and endurance running. I have always been very active and played football competitively for many years. I was previously awarded first female junior in the Castle Combe 10k and hope to take part in many more races in the future. As well as weight training I also enjoy incorporating core stability exercises into my workouts which are important in increasing overall strength and reducing risk of injury. If you see me around the gym, don’t hesitate to come and say hi!

I have also worked with people that have a variety of sport specific goals and spent a lot of my time researching and learning about the broad science behind gaining muscle and strength in the most efficient ways possible.

Training Methods

My specialties lie in training that tries to improve health and general quality of life. Whether that is feeling more body confident, becoming more able in day to day or working toward something sport specific. My workouts are built around those core principals.

Hi, I’m Chloe and I am a Level 3 qualified Personal Trainer. I have a strong passion for weightlifting and calisthenics, and enjoy teaching core and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) as well. (Calisthenics is a form of exercise, which uses your own bodyweight against the force of gravity. Exercises are performed with differing levels of intensity and rhythm, to help build and enhance strength and muscularity).

I have been lifting weights for over 4-years, and introduced calisthenics training to my workouts a year and a half ago. Body weighted training has brought me so far; I am a stronger person both physically and mentally. It has transformed my physique, and has unlocked skills, which I never dreamt of achieving! I can help you if you are a beginner, unsure where to start with strength training and muscle building, or if you’re more advanced but have plateaued and want to progress further.

Not only will you be training with me to achieve your goals, but you’ll also unlock other skills along the way as your strength grows! I offer 24/7 support whether it’s during our sessions or via email, I will be there to provide my best service to you!
