Heyย 

We run small group training groups on Kellaway Avenue and have just opened up a couple of new lunchtime groupsโ€ฆ

Let me introduce ourselves for those that donโ€™t know who we are or what we doโ€ฆ

โฃ๐—ช๐ก๐จ ๐€re We?โฃ

Polly

ย I trained as a 1-1 Personal Trainer in 2020 after I’d gotten back into fitness myself and wanted to help others on their health and fitness journey.

ย I started out online, and then in local parks and also in peoples own homes. I then worked from the Bank Fitness in Henleaze for 2 years before getting my own place on Kellaway Avenue at the end of 2024

ย Iโ€™m originally from Cumbria – yes that’s even more north than Birmingham !

ย In a previous life Iโ€™ve been a Christian Missionary, an NCT Breastfeeding Counsellor, a Home Educator and a Bartender. (Though not in that order!)

Olivia

Olivia (or Liv) joined us almost a year ago now!

Sheโ€™s been through quite an incredible health journey herself and has a particular focus and interest in helping those with post viral fatigue and who are neurodivergent

She doesnโ€™t own a TV

She spent 10 years in South America as a film and documentary producer for trade unions and women workerโ€™s rights; which included flying in a UN helicopter and meeting heads of state!

She hates bananas and loves marmite !

Naomi

Naomi joined the team at the end of last year.

Sheโ€™s had a long career in Wildlife conservation (including some time in Botswana and Namibia catching Leopards!) then mainly for charities in wildlife and environmental sector since thenย 

Sheโ€™s always been into fitness and sport – even forced her way onto the football team when girls werenโ€™t allowed!

Sheโ€™s experienced the transformational effect of exercise and feeling strong has had on her various stages of life; pregnancy, post natal, busy mum and now menopause.

Although sheโ€™s been living in Bristol for 25 years now – sheโ€™s originally a Brummy

We work in small groups of no more than 6 people

We work with those who:

Have never done any structured exercise before (or itโ€™s been a while!)

Know they need to do something more than walking and Pilates if they want to keep hold of their muscles

Want to be shown how to use weights properly

Know they need to go somewhere to make sure they actually do it!

Find commercial gyms unfriendly, overwhelming and generally not very inspiring!

โ€œPolly encourages us all to work hard and progress, no matter what our level of fitness. Iโ€™d definitely recommend herโ€ Nikki, 54 yrs

โ€œWorking in a small group, each at our own level, we get plenty of feedback and individual attention without the intensity of a 1-1โ€ฆas someone who has never been in a gym or able to stick to any exercise before, this experience has totally changed my attitude to exerciseโ€ฆ!โ€ Jane, 62 yrs

โ€œLiv is a fabulous coach. She teaches us all the techniques expertly and safely while making us work hard and have funโ€ฆ!โ€ Ollie, 42 yrs
