Fantastic experience: I went to the Monday evening kettle bell class and found it perfect for my needs and level of fitness. I like how each move repeats for just 1 minute and the movements are varied. The instructor explained and demonstrated everything clearly and it felt fine being a beginner - I was made to feel welcome. The class was fun and the music was good too. 5 stars.

Fantastic experience: Lara is an excellent personal trainer. I have been attending her classes for over 3 years. Her classes are always fun, well organised, and expert. I especially like the way Lara gently corrects you if you are doing an exercise in the wrong way. At the end of her classes I always feel I have had a good workout but I am not exhausted. I recommend Lara to anyone seeking expert guidance about exercise and fitness. Jim

Fantastic experience: I go to Lara’s classes twice a week. I’ve made visible progress and gained confidence both in and outside of the gym since I started with her. She’s great at explaining things and her sessions are always fun but effective!

Fantastic experience: All my PT sessions and support from Lara has been amazing. She took the time to get to know me and my health needs before making a bespoke training and nutrition program that was effective and achievable. When I was pregnant she had the knowledge to adjust my program safely, this was so helpful in keeping me mobile throughout pregnancy and ultimately leading to a speedy recovery after. I would definitely recommend Lara to anyone looking to start PT.

Not only does she take great care during the paid session BUT she also keeps check on my progress in her own time. She drew up a personalised training and nutrition plan for me so that I can achieve my goals. She is mindful of my many injuries and tailored the training sessions accordingly. I saw significant changes after following her advice. Thanks Lara x

Fantastic experience: Tekk Fitt is a great set up, ideal if you’re not wanting to use commercial gyms, equipment always available when you are having your 1 on 1 PT sessions. Lara is very knowledgeable and offers great support through out the week. 1 on 1 PT sessions are enjoyable and good to challenge yourself under Lara’s guidance!

Fantastic experience: In the wrong half of my 60’s I decided I needed to improve my overall condition. I had tried intermittent fasting, combined training, with poor results. Enter Lara at Tekk:Fitt, a tailor made fitness program consisting of a weekly studio visit combined with a home exercise program and support with a designed nutrition package. Four months later I am stronger, leaner and feeling in great shape. I am confident this would not have been achieved without the training package received. This should be a strong recommendation to anyone seeking improvement.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working with Lara for around a year and a half and can see big improvements within my swimming and overall strength. She’s been very friendly and kind and makes doing S&C fun.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been doing S&C with Lara for 6 months and I feel there’s a change with my strength and speed in swimming. Lara is a great coach and has helped me improve my exercises in the gym.

Fantastic experience: I followed Lara for a while on Instagram and just loved her enthusiasm. It was very clear she knew her stuff and was passionate about getting results for her clients. When a space came available I jumped at the chance to work with her. Unfortunately due to personal circumstance my time was cut a bit short but I found Lara so approachable, warm and friendly, she immediately made me feel at ease in an unfamiliar situation and helped me gain an understanding of both nutrition and exercises that would work for me. The set up she has is great and working one on one really helped me feel less intimidated and get the most from our sessions. If I am in a position in the future to proceed with a PT (although Lara is definitely more than just a PT - think of her as an all round life coach / gym buddy / PT..!!!) then I wouldn’t hesitate to use Lara again. Thank you for all your help Lara, I really enjoyed my time with you! (Maybe not the some of the cardio bits lol!) ♥️

Fantastic experience: Lara has really helped me with becoming stronger - since working with her I have become a better runner and my confidence has greatly improved!

The training is not "pumping iron!"

Fantastic experience: Lara has helped to benefit my race performances as well as keep my body uninjured. She has also developed my own knowledge around nutrition and sport specific strength work.

Fantastic experience: I attended Lara’s outdoor fitness classes at the Lido in Cheltenham and absolutely loved them. She was great at making the class different each week and also would give me alternative exercises if I struggled because of a previous ankle injury. I hope to train with Lara again some day!

Fantastic experience: I couldn't recommend Lara at Tekk Fitt enough to anyone! I had never been in a gym before signing up to Tekk Fitt and Lara gave me such great knowledge, guidance and confidence. She always encourages you to work towards goals which sounds daunting but turned me from a couch potato into a regular gym goer into someone gaining muscles and a different physique. So I can confidently say she's a fantastic personal trainer to use whatever stage of your fitness journey. You get so much for your money: an hour's session in person (if that's the model you go for) plus workout plans plus nutrition goals. Could not recommend lara enough and excited to be moving to an online coaching model now I've relocated. I've been seeing Lara since Jan 2022 and have no intention of stopping anytime soon ❤️❤️

Fantastic experience: Tailored programs have significantly developed my skills for swimming. My strength has greatly improved as a result of the highly valuable land training sessions. Lara is a brilliant coach, who is very friendly and supportive of my development, improving my form and overall strength. I couldn’t recommend her enough.

Fantastic experience: Lara provided a good plan for me to improve my basic fitness. I've always been a runner but I hate gyms (!) and my core and upper body strength have suffered as a result. Lara has a sympathetic and intuitive manner which means that she provides a brilliant, tailored plan to improve fitness and strength. She is also great at encouraging, without any sense of success or failure in trying to achieve specific goals. I highly recommend Lara for her skills and empathetic personality. I've made massive improvements with her help. NEIL

Fantastic experience: Could not wish for a more supportive and knowledgeable personal trainer. Lara listens to your goals and supports you every step of the way to achieve them. From training plans, technique to nutrition and regular check-ins Lara provides holistic personal training. Initially I thought I would use a PT to get into shape and then go it alone. Can’t imagine not working with Lara now.

Fantastic experience: I loved working with Lara so much and would totally recommend her to anyone thinking about using a PT in Cheltenham or Gloucester. I wanted to learn how to lift weights safely and do all the things that I'd always been too scared to do in a normal gym. Lara helped me develop my strength and confidence in the most supportive way and I ended up gaining muscle and tone, whilst losing weight over the 9 weeks we worked together. With regular check-ins, tips to boost my food intake (yep - she told me to eat more!!) and really fun sessions, I really enjoyed my time with her and would still be going along if we hadn't moved abroad! Thanks Lara!

Fantastic experience: I am a competitive swimmer and Lara’s training has been very effective at targeting areas of swimming that can be improved on land, including strength and plyometric training. Her breadth of knowledge is flawless to help with form and training plans. There has been a noticeable difference in my Athletic ability. She is very friendly and a pleasure to be coached by. I would 100% recommend.

Friendly and professional I cannot recommend Tekk Fit enough, it is definitely for everyone.

Fantastic experience: I met Lara as a professional coach / instructor at my weekly HIIT classes - never to be missed and realized that she has a innovative and positive approach in training that really help me deal with my back pain and anxiety. Looking further to discover her new ideas in training exercises with every class... fully booked! Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I met Lara last year and signed up for my first course of PT sessions. Lara is friendly, knowledgeable and supportive and I really enjoyed the PT sessions and made good progress. Extremely professional, I would definitely recommend Lara’s classes and PT services to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I was afraid of gyms when I started working with Lara, with her patience and encorement I now feel confident enough to try classes too. Lara is very knowledgeable, tailoring exercises to suit my needs and motivates me beyond my comfort zone without being pushy. Would certainly reccommend Lara at Tekk:Fitt

Fantastic experience: I’ve been doing weekly strength and conditioning sessions with Lara for a while now and have seen incredible physical and mental improvements. Lara is extremely motivating, has a real eye for detail when ensuring you have the correct form and is helpful in providing different variations of exercises for a range of abilities. I cannot thank Lara enough for the effort she puts in for everyone.

Fantastic experience: Motivating music, top-notch instruction and bucket loads of encouragement. Those 3 things really make Lara’s classes stand out among the many fitness classes I’ve been to over the years. Lara is super knowledgeable and always ensures your form is correct, while making classes fun and varied. I can’t recommend her enough!

Fantastic experience: Over the course of the past few months I have been assisting Lara in her S&C sessions, with a view to gain more coaching experience. Lara has allowed me to lead S&C sessions for beginners to teach them fundamental movement patterns while doing some programming with her guidance. My confidence has not only improved but my knowledge, which will assist in future job prospects during and post university. I would highly recommend getting involved as it is a worthwhile learning experience.

Fantastic experience: I started working with Lara in Feb 2022. As someone who had rarely used a gym, had a lot of weight to lose and, apart from swimming, hadn't exercised properly for many years, I was anxious to say the least. Lara is supportive, informative, tenacious and encouraging. I have grown stronger and fitter and am now enjoying exercising regularly. My back and hips no longer ache and my posture has improved dramatically. I have enjoyed cardio, core exercises and have been working on weight training, which I love. An added bonus is I’ve lost 2 stone since I started!! I would recommend Lara to anyone, particularly those who’ve never exercised before and are nervous about starting. I am now confident to use the gym on my own and Lara has designed a programme for me to use independently. Thank you Lara

Fantastic experience: Thank you Lara for being there and working with me through the cold, wet months of lock down at the outdoor sessions and now with your great new studio. Lara listens and provides great varied sessions to help with strength and conditioning for the variety of sports I get involved with and then works with my physio/sports masseur to help fix me!! Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been doing Lara’s classes for quite some time now and they are totally a part of my weekly exercise routine. Lara is always encouraging and motivating, I can really tell when I’ve missed a class. I would 100% recommend giving them a go.

Fantastic experience: Lara is a brilliant PT - super knowledgeable, friendly and encouraging. Her sessions are fun and engaging and keeps you motivated throughout. Whilst working around an injury she was always helpful in providing alternative exercises and corrected any form if it was ever wrong. I would highly recommend Lara :)

Fantastic experience: I met Lara a couple of years ago and started PT with her to get back into exercise. I had torn my calf a few years prior so I was really nervous about getting back into exercise. Lara was brilliant and wrote me a great training plan. I then got engaged! And upped the training on the run up to my wedding day. What I have absolutely loved is the weight training - something I would never had done on my own. The sense of achievement each week when I can go heavier on the weights is amazing. I always thought it would be about running around and cardio but Lara has opened up a whole new type of exercise to me and I love it! She has great advice not just on the training plans but nutrition as well. I’m so glad I found her and continue my sessions after the wedding.

Fantastic experience: I began working with Lara as a Strength and Conditioning student at the beginning of may. Lara was very welcoming and was a great help for letting me work with her. I had a limited amount of coaching experience and Lara was really understanding of this and encouraged me to jump straight into it, but would always help me when I needed it. I worked with her athletics and swimming group, with different ages, making me learn how to coach and get my point across to different types of athletes. After just 2 months of coaching with her my confidence in my abilities have increased massively and I had an amazing time with it all.

Fantastic experience: I have known and trained with Lara for a number of years now. She listens to feedback and varies my training programme to meet my goals. Lara is patient and good fun, making the sessions innovative and enjoyable!! Keep up the great work : )

Fantastic experience: My name is Francesca (Fran) I started doing PT sessions with Lara before pandemic.I had had another couple of PT experience with males PT. I have had a scoliosis for most of my life and I have always being doing gymnastics,swimming and yoga. I have to keep active and flexible and continuously learn to use my body in different ways. Lara fully understand all this, she has been patient, teaching me new things, and making me feel stronger , resistant resilient and more flexible. All this has had a very positive impact on my anxiety and generated therefore positive moods. Lara is constant and hard working , and all her new innovations regarding the environment )I.e studio,new place now)create an interesting challenge for me, So if you’re planning to try Pt sessions I would strongly recommend Lara

Fantastic experience: Lara was willing to learn about my sport and set up specialist programmes for me to follow during her S&C sessions. By being personal with her clients and taking the time to learn exactly what their focus should be, sets her apart from many other PT coaches. I saw a lot of progression in my strength and mobility when working with her each week, and this motivated me to keep aiming to improve my competition performance.

Fantastic experience: My weekly personal training sessions with Lara are enjoyable and varied. My back problem has most certainly improved over the past twelve months and my strength and energy levels have increased considerably. Lara is motivational and encouraging and I would have no hesitation in recommending her.

Fantastic experience: I started with Lara late November last year just as I had retired. It has been absolutely brilliant, Lara is very positive, professional and encouraging. I am going to regret saying how good she is as she will get more booked up but she truly is terrific! I especially like the way she updates our training programme and I am aware I am making progress and getting stronger. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: My name is Ricky and I was very impressed with Lara when I was doing strength and conditioning training with her. Lara is very knowledgeable and always there to give you a hand with the exercises if needed. She is also patient and there is a good amount of chat and conversation as well which I think makes the session more fun and enjoyable. Lara always encourages you to push and challenge yourself and I think that’s great because it helps the client feel motivated to reach their goals and even exceed them. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lara to anyone looking for a personal trainer.

Fantastic experience: Lara is incredibly helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and professional as a trainer. At each PT session Lara was upbeat and motivational (even sometimes at the start if I wasn’t!) I asked lots of questions (how to set up a squat rack??) and Lara is great at answering and explaining why we are doing certain exercises or eating more of a certain food group. Lara is always realistic around lifestyles and understands that people have stressful jobs, kids etc and just need a bit of help keeping on track. Even during lockdown Lara went above and beyond, creating home workouts and keeping in contact with clients. It’s fantastic to have that accountability and on a human level to just be able to knock out a fun enjoyable session with your trainer. I would absolutely recommend Lara to potential clients!

Fantastic experience: I have trained with Lara for over two years and cannot recommend her highly enough. When I first started she took the time to discuss what I was trying to accomplish and helped me structure a training plan and diet around it. I hadn't spent much time in the gym previously, so having Lara to help me understand correct technique and weight progression was a massive help. She's very knowledgable and really supportive. If you are looking for a great PT around Cheltenham, give her a call!
