What my clients say

I was surprised how much i enjoy weightlifting with Martha. Her relaxed and professional style make me feel at ease . Her expertise is clear and she encourages that little extra effort – an extra push which makes me feel like i am making progress.

This was my first PT session ever and I loved it. Martha was great and she exceeded my expectations in how attentive, encouraging and welcoming she was. Because I’m already a runner and have good fitness, my goals and existing strength is probably quite different to a lot of Martha’s other customers and it became obvious straight away how much she is able to tailor and focus sessions around the individual; I can see how she would be a
perfect PT for someone completely new to fitness whilst also great for someone like me who already has a lot of experience with different types of exercise. The studio was also well equipped and really nice to work out in.

Can’t wait for the next session! Would highly recommend Martha to anyone who wants to try personal training.

I have been training with Martha since August 2024. Martha pushes me harder than any PT I’ve had previously. She sees strength in me that I don’t see in myself and, because of this, is helping me to achieve real results. I feel stronger and healthier since I started seeing Martha, and I feel safe increasing the weights I’m using week on week because I know she is there to support me.

Martha is a great PT! She tailors sessions to where I’m at that day which is important for me as I have a disability. She has already improved my confidence with weight training and she is cleary very knowledgeable. She gives good feedback and encouragement throughout. Would definitely recommend her!

Martha is an excellent personal trainer and I would not hesitate to
recommend her. I needed a trainer that understands women’s bodies and how to work with the changes that menopause brings, and Martha is perfect. Her support, encouragement and expert knowledge is exactly what I need, having never tried weight training before. She is genuinely curious and really listens, and has tailored a programme that is exactly right for me. She offers a fully holistic approach which really makes me feel looked after, and shares her own experiences as well, like her recent awe inspiring cycling trip
from Geneva to Nice.

Our sessions are just the right level of challenging, because Martha really knows her stuff, but they’re also great fun, because Martha is a really nice and easy person to hang out with. I look forward to my sessions with Martha and thanks to her I’m already starting to see a difference, not only in my fitness but in how I feel about my menopausal body, after only a few weeks.

Training with Martha has been wonderful! Being a dancer I’m constantly looking for new ways to push myself physically and train in a way that helps with my performance. Martha integrated animal flow into my program to develop my strength and mobility and it has been transformative for my training. Her experience, knowledge and passion for health and fitness shines through when training with her and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!

I’d never been to a gym and hated all exercise, so imagine, here i am at 80, starting out with a personal trainer, and even lifting weights – and I’m enjoying it – even looking forward to next week. Oh dear, Martha is on holiday, that means I’ll have to wait. Imagine me saying that!

Martha is a great PT which I’ve only recently started with in 2024. She always makes me feel comfortable in the session and offers firm and encouraging support to keep up my nutrition changed to meet my goals and enforced a level of accountability that I need to hit my targets. Sessions are always varied and measured working towards specific goals in a measurable way with a shared Google sheet to track progress.

I have a tenancy to get carried away chatting as if it’s a social occasion which other PTs have fallen
into the trap of with me but Martha cottons on fast and keeps me on track with good session momentum and pace to ensure we cover everything planned with good attention to detail on form and excellent challenge to push myself harder (often tricking me into more reps but it’s worth it for the results haha). The value of this cannot be understated in a good PT 🙂

Highly recommended. Looking forward to comparing my fitness levels at the end of the year with now!

Martha was charged with the very serious task of making sure my gluteus maximus stopped sliding down the backs of my legs which is what started to happen as soon as I turned 50 (which was a while ago now.) Martha was extremely motivational but mixed our sessions with a great sense of fun. She knew what I wanted to achieve and she tailored our workouts accordingly. We worked on weight training and plenty of squats which I thoroughly enjoyed and she was always extremely encouraging during our PT sessions, which seemed to fly by. I will be sad to see her leave my gym but I wish her well in her new position. Thankfully my gluteus maximus has also adjusted its position and that’s all down to Martha.

I was fortunate to have Martha as my personal trainer at the Natural Fit gym in Hove, and I had a series of hour long sessions with her over a period of several months. Martha took me through various routines that I could use on my own, and in the following session she would add to this and monitor my progress. The sessions were always enjoyable and Martha was very supportive and encouraging. Her personable manner made it a pleasure to be with her, she is very patient and extremely knowledgable. She always made the sessions interesting and not repetitive, adding a mix of exercises and routines, including weights, with expert instruction. She was always available for advice and took a lively interest in my training.
I have had previous trainers that I have worked with and without a doubt Martha was the best, always popular at the gym, and definitely my first choice.

ITraining with Martha has been great! Her studio is very nice — clean, private, and has everything you need. I’ve had a few issues and she’s been so careful about adapting exercises to keep me safe while still making progress.

Martha is knowledgeable, encouraging, and also has good tips for healthy nutrition. I’ve been seeing real results.

I’ve really enjoyed training with Martha! She has such a great vibe and energy — calm, positive, and encouraging. I’m already feeling stronger and can really see the progress toward my goals.

What I appreciate most is that she truly understands what I’m aiming for and tailors each session to help me get there. The workouts are always interesting and varied, and she brings a holistic approach that goes beyond just fitness — it’s about overall wellbeing. She keeps every session engaging and motivating.

She always makes me feel good after each session. Thank you Martha!

I’ve been training with Martha for two and a half years. She always makes an effort to change goals and keep my program fresh and we decided to put more focus on my nutrition.

I thought I was eating a fairly healthy diet, but Martha encouraged me to log all my calories using My Fitness Pal and by adding her as a friend in the app, she gets to see what I eat too.

The downside to this is the occasional stern look when from Martha when I scoff a Cadbury Creme Egg or give in to that late night McNugget craving. I’m only human after all…

The upside to tracking is the ability to see exactly where your excess calories come from and make adjustments.

I was shocked to learn that a few less cashews on breakfast porridge can reduce my daily calorie intake by 10%! One of my regular meals was a rack of pork ribs, that I didn’t realise was a whopping 1300 calories. Now I eat 2/3rds of the rack and use the leftovers for a protein rich lunch the next day.

None of the changes I’ve made have involved suffering or deprivation. But by targeting the worst elements of my diet and making small tweaks, I’ve managed to consistently lose 1kg per month.
