Who i am
Hello, I’m Sam.
I’m a personal trainer who’s trying to do things a little differently.
After over a decade of lifting weights, I decided it was time to get qualified and start teaching people what I’ve learned.
My ethos is that fitness should be joyful, personalised, and inclusive - not based on other people’s bodies, not based on trends, and not one-size-fits-all.
So many of us enter the world of fitness through social media and are bombarded with messaging that makes us feel like we’re not good enough to begin. We’re shown images of these perfect people who all fit a certain mold, which we desperately try to squeeze ourselves into.
We’re given advice that sounds sensible but can be extremely dangerous, not to mention confusing.
We’re told there’s only one way to be fit.
And all of that can make us want to quit, or feel like we’re not good enough, and excludes so many people from the beautiful benefits of exercise.
My programmes are tailored to my clients’ individuality, schedules, needs, likes and dislikes.
I believe, and have seen, that the best results are yielded through programmes that are built for you rather than against you.
When you have a programme that you love, you want to keep doing it, and when you keep doing it, you unlock something amazing.
real people I have trained
Poppy
“Before working with Sam I actually hated going to the gym. I’d joined about four different gyms in three months because I never felt comfortable in those spaces. Sam completely changed that for me. She’s shown me how to focus on my own training, trust my technique, and take up space. Training with Sam has completely changed my relationship with the gym.
Thanks to her sessions I now actually don’t find the gyms so scary anymore!”

“I’ve had the joy of working with Sam over the last year and couldn’t recommend her more. Not only does she create truly personal training plans to support me in sustaining a physical career, she also has been incredibly patient, understanding and encouraging to help me overcome my fear of the gym.
Checking in regularly between sessions, her flexibility in supporting both at home & gym workouts, as well as her adaptability in responding to how my body works has been above and beyond. I always look forward to my in-person sessions with her - Sam is not only knowledgeable & supportive, she is so fun and warm and every time I feel so much more motivated and determined to keep progressing!”
