Testimonials
"Training with Sally made working out so much more fun and enjoyable. I’ve suffered from Asthma since a young age and on my initial consultation with Sally she knew I had to focus on my stamina and work on increasing my lung capacity. I always tended to shy away from cardio, but with Sally’s encouragement and direction over the past six years I found myself enjoying cardio workouts as she always made my exercise plan interesting and varied. Sally enjoys what she does, and her enthusiasm for fitness and nutrition has resulted in me being more aware of how I exercise and treat my body. I love Sally’s energy and approach, her extensive knowledge of the body and her ability to understand you makes her the best personal trainer I’ve had. I just wish I could have taken Super Sally with me to Australia when I moved ….."

"Training with Sally has been great fun and really effective. I not only feel stronger and more toned, but also have a better understanding of how my body works and what it is doing while I exercise and this is purely down to the knowledge and advice that Sally has given me. Sally has tailored my sessions based on what I enjoy and every one varies so training never gets boring. Whilst Sally pushes me during the sessions with her, they are always fun. Sally is the only person I know who makes me actually enjoy exercising."
