I had never exercised consistently throughout my 20s and early 30s. I’d join a gym and then never go. In 2014 this happened again but this time I also booked in a session with a PT at my local Fitness First in Streatham, London. Lucky for me that PT turned out to be Carrie. The sessions were amazing and when she left the gym, I went right with her. We trained in my living room or the park or her flat once or twice a week. Carrie made sure to find out what I was after, to change up each session and push me when I thought I couldn’t do it. Even in my tiny living room we did cardio and weights and a ridiculous number of burpees and star jumps. Each session was hard but so much fun. I felt mega strong, fit and healthy.

The physical benefits were great and so were the mental health benefits. Carrie is a great motivator. And advised loads on my eating habits and nutrition. When she decided to move to Southampton I was devastated. Not just to lose an amazing PT but also a fab friend. My loss is Southampton’s gain though!

If you want to get fit and healthy and stay that way, then Carrie’s your PT!
