Seek. Empower. Do.
Dream of a healthier lifestyle?
Want to reach your ideal weight?
Knowing where and how to start is a difficult task made harder by the sheer volume of conflicting ‘how to’ advice we receive daily.
This information overload, combined with our modern-day busy lifestyles, is a nationwide problem that’s causing gym memberships to go unused, diet books to collect dust and clothes, no matter how much we breathe in, to get tighter.
It doesn’t have to be this way – and the answer isn’t just moving more and eating less. It’s emotional.

It’s time to combat self-sabotage and self-doubt for good. By embracing a loving mind-body relationship, you’ll no longer feel overwhelmed or unable to achieve.

My own experiences motivates me to help others. In life we all have lessons to learn, and after 8 years of personal training, I understand how powerful a positive (lasting) change can be.

MEET YOUR COACH – Lisa Barlow
I am a firm advocate of taking care of the mind, body and spirit to encourage balance in all areas. I believe my role in life is to empower others to take responsibility for their own health and, if presented with conditions that are debilitating in some way, to take control of how they respond to that condition. We may not always be responsible for what happens to us in life but we are responsible for how we choose to respond.

What our clients say
“Brilliant all round trainer, with expert knowledge in PT, nutrition, massage, yoga and ‘know how’ in sorting your head out. You got me pain free in about 3 months, made me cry because it was so great and when my days were tough a walk and a talk did the trick. A year of training with you was a real journey to mend my body. You know how to push your clients and work hard to reach goals but understood pain and how to manage it. Your new clients will be in safe capable hands.”
“I contacted Nicola at my gym as I needed help to get fitter an I had lost interest in going to the gym. We met and she assessed my fitness and we decided on a plan. From the first moment we met I knew we were going to get along… she really encouraged me back to it and regular sessions 3 times weekly soon got me back in shape. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone. Sign up with Nicola and you are guaranteed results!”
“Happy new year. Despite dreading most of our sessions and wondering why the hell I am putting myself through them I am genuinely looking forward to our sessions this year. Maybe I am just caught up in the New Year excitement but I am feeling really positive and confident that I can make myself feel fitter and healthier. You’re very good a your job and luckily for you you’re very hard to dislike!”
“Nicola was my PT for nearly two years, she is fantastic at her job. I had major back surgery on my back that made running and other exercises difficult. Working with Nic has enabled me to run and I can do most things that I enjoy pain free. I feel more confident and better about myself and my posture has greatly improved. Our sessions were hard and challenging but also great fun, apart from the ball!”
“Nicola not only changed my body, she also changed my mind. She helped me prioritise my goals and make sure I put myself first. This not only helped me personally get through a very stressful period in my life, it also resulted in amazing results in our PT sessions. I saw great results and Nicola knew exactly the type of exercise I would enjoy and also gave the best results for what I wanted to achieve. I never left a session feeling disheartened – I was a hero every day. Thank you for giving me the confidence in my abilities to continue my fitness and personal journey.”
