Fantastic experience: Training with Vanessa over the past two months has been a game-changer for me. She’s not only knowledgeable and professional but also very supportive and motivating. I started as a complete beginner in weight training and over the past two months, she’s helped me build strength and confidence at a pace that felt challenging but never overwhelming. She has also given me practical and personalised advice on my diet and eating habits outside of the gym which helps to achieve my goals realistically. I highly recommend Vanessa to anyone especially for beginners like I was.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Vanessa for a few months now, and it’s been a proper game-changer! After struggling with motivation working from home, she’s helped me rediscover my love for the gym and smash my goals. I’ve dropped body fat, gained muscle, and toned up - all thanks to her spot-on guidance. Vanessa knows how to push you, but always makes sure you’re supported. She always checks in to keep me on track, sorts out full training plans, and even helps with all things nutrition. If you’re after a trainer who genuinely cares about your progress, I can’t recommend her enough!

Fantastic experience: I've had a lovely time training with Vanessa. I've made great progress and built up my confidence in the gym. 100% recommend her to anyone looking to make sustainable lifestyle changes and improve their overall fitness.

Jen Cockerill 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Vanessa since October 2023. I know that from our initial consultation, it was the right decision to work with her on my fitness journey. In the past, I had tried online only coaching, sporadically ordered food prep meals etc, never had consistency, which showed up in how I saw and valued myself. Vanessa, not only guides you through the gym equipment in sessions, she enables confidence in you with regular check ins and ad-hoc messages, and is a huge support for a healthy and realistic lifestyle and eating habits, but she also values mental health. I find that this can be overlooked. During this journey, I’ve dealt with grief and she’s been there as a support and to help still champion me. I no longer fear equipment in my local gym, or if there are a bunch of muscly men around. I know what the exercises are and more importantly my technique, which is instilled in our training sessions every single time. I now train with two amazing women, who I wouldn’t have met otherwise, and we know every morning we are supported and are going to train hard! I have come so far in my journey and I’m so happy to say that I am able to appreciate my body and love myself along this process… all thanks to Vanessa.

Fantastic experience: Vanessa is super encouraging and organised and pushes me to complete my set or use heavier weights. She helped me set realistic goals which balanced my hobby for running and my strength goals and I'm very happy with my progress on reducing my body fat and increasing my strength so far. Also she's great at holding me accountable for my nutrition and cardio/solo workouts. If you're nervous about going to a public gym and don't know where to start I'd definitely recommend Vannessa group PT sessions, I don't think i would have had the confidence to go to a public gym without them.

Vee Howarth 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: Vanessa is a wonderful personal trainer. I’d never done anything like this before and was very apprehensive. But Vanessa meets you where you’re at, and I soon started to feel more comfortable. Vanessa is so kind, supportive and positive. A ray of sunshine. Vanessa tailors support, adapting workouts to take into account any aches and pains, so you can continue to make progress. She really knows her stuff and wants you to succeed. I was feeling pretty bad about myself when I reached out to Vanessa, I am grateful to her not only for improvements to my physical appearance but improved mood and outlook. Even my cholesterol has improved. Thanks Vanessa.

Yasmin 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working with Vanessa for 2 months so far and the change I’ve noticed in myself already is beyond anything I thought I could achieve! I’ve tried getting into fitness/dieting before but it’s never clicked like it has with Vanessa’s help! She’s taught me to add things to my diet and eat whole foods rather than restricting /thinking only about calories. This has massively helped me with my eating habits and my energy levels have been getting better, I’ve got less cravings, my diet is balanced with lots of veggies and I’m cooking meals that I look forward to!! I hadn’t been in a gym for about 5 years when I started with Vanessa and my confidence was at an all time low. I can honestly say training with Vanessa has brought my confidence on a HUGE amount! She always pushes me to do things I never thought I could but equally knows when to support/reduce the load to make sure I can get my form perfect and improve week on week. I actually look forward to workouts now and I love feeling stronger and pushing myself to see what I can do! Vanessa has given me the tools to get into a healthier lifestyle, improve my relationship with food and stop doubting my own abilities as I can do so much more than I thought!!

I’m Looking forward to continuing to work together

Walaa Aburayan 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: I started training with Vanessa in December 2024, and from the very first session, I knew I had made the right decision. Before joining her, I had been training with another personal trainer for nearly a year and a half. While that experience helped build my foundation, the progress I have made in just a few months with Vanessa has been truly extraordinary—far beyond anything I had achieved before. One of my biggest challenges when I started with Vanessa was a noticeable weakness on my left side compared to my right. I struggled with imbalances that affected my strength, mobility, and overall performance. Vanessa immediately identified the issue and tailored my training plan with incredible precision. Her deep understanding of biomechanics, corrective exercises, and progressive overload made an instant impact, and in just a short time, I started noticing a huge difference in my strength, stability, and confidence. What makes Vanessa stand out from the rest is her unique approach to personal training. She doesn’t just put you through a workout—she educates, empowers, and challenges you in ways that bring out your absolute best. Her ability to personalize every session based on my specific needs, while still pushing me beyond my limits, is something I truly admire. She knows exactly when to encourage, when to correct form, and when to push harder, all while making every session engaging and enjoyable. Beyond her technical expertise, Vanessa is an incredible motivator and an absolute joy to train with. She brings positive energy, unwavering support, and a genuine passion for helping her clients succeed. She listens, adapts, and ensures that every workout is not only effective but also fun and rewarding. Her commitment to my progress has been nothing short of inspiring, and I find myself looking forward to every session, knowing that I am improving with each one. Under Vanessa’s guidance, I have already gained incredible strength, improved my form, and built confidence in ways I never thought possible. She has transformed not just my training but also my mindset, proving that with the right coach, you can achieve results beyond your expectations. If you’re looking for a highly skilled, deeply knowledgeable, and genuinely caring personal trainer who will push you towards your best self, Vanessa at Paiigefitness is the one! I highly, highly recommend her to anyone who is serious about making real, lasting progress. Thank you, Vanessa, for your dedication, encouragement, and for helping me unlock my true potential! I am beyond grateful to be training with you.

Oh Walaa this review has just absolutely blown me away Thank you so much for your kind words. It’s been absolute pleasure working with you. You come to every session with the best attitude, you always give me 100% and I’m so proud of the progress that you’ve made already! Looking forward to seeing what else we can achieve in the future xx

Fantastic experience: I’ve worked with Vanessa for just over a year. My life has turned around a lot since then and a lot of that I can attribute to Vanessa’s patience, tenaciousness and genuine passion for what she does. I found her inspiring when I needed it most and above all I really enjoyed working with her and rediscovering my love of excercise again. My relationship with my body has positively changed as has my whole outlook on health and fitness. I would 100% recommend working with her.

Ange 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Vanessa for almost 4 months now and my journey has been amazing. I am so happy to have a structure now for my lifestyle and to have that confidence back with my fitness. I came to her when i was on the skinnier side and now she has helped get so much stronger, I am so happy with my progress!!

Jess Bosanquet 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: Vanessa is a babe! She’s really turned my life around and made fitness fun again. She’s helped with my form on gym equipment and built my confidence in weight training. I couldn’t be happier with my weight loss and body transformation over such a short time period. I’ve learned so much about myself and broken some bad habits with food too. If you’re ready to take the leap, Vanessa is the best support you could ask for.

hanan2804 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working with Vanessa for 2 months now, and have already lost a stone! After years of struggling with my food and exercise, she simplified my diet and provided me with a great balance, without having to restrict my food. This has allowed me to stay consistent and makes it feel like a real lifestyle change, which was my ultimate goal. Our workouts are always fun and challenging, and she’ll always adapt it depending on how I’m feeling during the month. She is great at correcting form; making sure I don’t feel any strain on my sensitive back. Her tips have made me a lot more confident for my solo workouts too. She holds me accountable without feeling pressure and works really well around my inconsistent work schedule. Overall I’m so happy with my results so far. Signing up with Vanessa was the best decision I could’ve made for myself

Charlotte Tinsley 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: Vanessa has made me fall in love all over again with getting back into my fitness journey. I would recommend anyone who has lost their confidence in the gym to go straight to Vanessa. I’ve hit PB’s I’ve never hit before!

Stephanie Taylor 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Vanessa has been an absolute star! She’s worked with me online for the past 3 months and I’ve got results I’ve never thought were possible. Would definitely recommend. She’s been approachable and easy to talk to with any questions!

samantha seth 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love working out with Paiigefitness. She’s honestly changed my life and how I feel about myself. I’m currently at a 3 stone weight loss, 3 dress sizes down, feel stronger, do things in the gym I’d have NEVER attempted and generally speak more highly of myself to myself and others. It’s been the ultimate confidence boost, helped my mental health and reframed how I feel about fitness and food in general. With her encouragement I’ve taken part in a 1/2 marathon this year, I’d have never even considered it had I not met her. If you have ever struggled, felt embarrassed or hopeless when it comes to weight loss, I fully encourage you to reach out to her, she is empathetic, approachable, understanding and has the perfect balance of friendly but firm. I almost gave up a while ago as I was in a bad place but she didn’t let me, she pulled me back, held me accountable and reminded me of my goals, I’ve never been more grateful and thankful! Sign up and prepare to be inspired!

Fantastic experience: I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support and guidance my personal trainer, Vanessa, has provided me. Thanks to her expertise and continuous encouragement, I was able to lose weight, get fit, and feel confident on one of the most important days of my life—my wedding. Vanessa consistently pushes me to follow through with the process (my diary, steps etc) ensuring I stay on track and motivated. Her personalized approach to fitness and her genuine care for my progress have been instrumental in my transformation. She goes above and beyond, tailoring workouts to my needs and always being there with a positive attitude and a motivational word. If you are looking for a personal trainer who is not only knowledgeable but also truly invested in your success, I highly recommend Vanessa. She has made a significant difference in my life, and I am forever grateful for her support. Thank you, Vanessa for helping me become the best version of myself!

Fantastic experience: Vanessa has helped me massively with my health and fitness. Nearly a year in, and a close to a 3 stone weight loss!

Anoushka Cerys 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Vanessa is a great PT! She is very fun, chatty and a great person to be around who always pushed me to my best limits. She has made me feel so confident about myself and working out going forward, making it fun once again. She has made going to the gym for me straight forward and easy to understand what I need to do in order to reach my specific goals. Her structured PT sessions fit for me personally were amazing and she answered any question I had about anything no matter how silly. I would recommend her to anyone and I had a great experience. I wouldn’t be surprised if I found myself working with Vannessa again some time in the future. She has made me feel like I can confidently go forward eating healthy yummy meals whilst working out happily 4/5 times a week which I didn’t think I’d be saying! Thankyou so so so much :)))

Julia Tennant 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Vanessa was honestly incredible! I came with very little experience at the gym, she always made sure to explain things clearly and never got annoyed having to tell me the same thing 100 times!! Although we only trained together for 3 months, Vanessa has had a lasting impact on my confidence not only in myself but also my ability at the gym. Not only did I have really good results, but working with Vanessa has helped me implement healthier lifestyle changes which have contributed to my overall wellbeing! I couldn’t recommend her enough, always easy to contact and eager to answer any questions or concerns i had! Xx

Rebecca John 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Been working with Vanessa for 6 months now and can honestly say that she has helped me change my life completely. Not only does she take the time to understand what it is you want to change physically but also helps with mindset challenges. The work we’ve done inside and outside of the gym has helped me feel confident in all areas of my life

Fantastic experience: As someone who hasn't been to the gym for about a decade and has social anxiety, I'm so thankful to have trained with Vanessa. She provided me crystal clear guidance on how to train, how to build healthy nutrition habits and how to just live a healthier and more active lifestyle overall based around my existing work/life commitments. I appreciated her encouragement but more importantly, she gave me tough love that I needed (and sometimes dreaded) to ultimately meet the goals that we set for me at the start. Since training with her, I achieved my goals of lowering my body weight, my body fat and increasing my muscle mass. The clothes that I used to fit into 5 years ago could fit me again and my confidence in general is now better. This is because we focused on 2 specific goals weekly depending on what I needed to improve nutrition- or training-wise. Most importantly, for my first gym session on my own, I was wracked with anxiety and even asked a friend to come with me because I was so afraid that I'll embarrass myself in the gym. But with Vanessa's clear training plan and her availability to answer any questions remotely, I started looking forward to gym sessions and later on found the gym as a safe space. I never would have thought this a year ago! Overall, I would recommend training with Vanessa for women of all levels!

fern 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Worked with Vanessa for 6 months and was the best decision I’ve ever made. I don’t think I could’ve made this change without Vanessa’s support and guidance. She really focuses on what you want to get out of it. I never felt pressured to meet a certain goal or target but instead motivated and determined to prove I could do it! What made my experience so great is that she really cares about you as a person. She creates a really honest and open environment where I’ve always felt comfortable and not too shy to ask questions. The sessions were always fun and for the first time ever working out never felt like a chore but an enjoyable experience. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing in a gym when I first started with Vanessa, she takes the time to explain everything to the point where I feel so much more knowledgeable about myself and what works best for me. The effect she has had on not only physical health but mental too is something I didn’t expect. I’ve come out these past 6 months a stronger, confident person and I can’t thank her enough! The sessions are the perfect length for me, and timings were always flexible and easy to fit around shift patterns and life in general. She was easily the best choice for me and I recommend her so highly to anyone wanting to take that step!

georgia konstantinou 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have worked with Vanessa for a long time and I can't praise her enough! Vanessa is very professional and offers personalised training plans and meal plans. She is very supportive in her PT sessions but also offers support throughout the week. I appreciated the fact that she helped me improve and be confident in and out of the gym in a supportive and collaborative way but also focuses at empowering the person. She helped me reach my goals , helped me change my mindset around weight and my body. I feel stronger and more confident and i actually strarted to enjoy exercising!!!! I would thoroughly recommend Vanessa!!!!

Nikuare Bisson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Working with Vanessa for 4 months is one of the best things I have chosen to do. I had a weight loss goal that I just couldn't reach alone and needed her help. She cared about more than just the weight loss but the why and how'd I'd feel at the end. She pushed me and was patient with me at times when I wasn't quite hitting the weekly goals. I reached my goal, had fun while doing it, and my confidence in using gym equipment increased. She's a friendly person who effortlessly gets to know you, and no session is ever boring!

chloe white 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Vanessa has absolutely changed my life. I am more confident, healthier and stronger now, both physically and mentally and I feel like I’m getting ‘me’ back again. She has helped me completely restructure my lifestyle, I went from under-eating and doing 0 exercise to lifting 4 times a week, daily walks and smashing through my calorie and protein goals. I am so grateful for her wisdom, kindness and support especially during any wobbles throughout this journey. I cannot recommend her enough.

Jayde Tuite 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Vanessa has been incredible to work with. I came to her as I’d lost my confidence in the gym. I’ve got that back and so much more. Vanessa pushed me to train harder and become stronger. I now lift like never before, my body has totally changed and the way I see myself is so much better. I can’t thank Vanessa for being in my corner and being such a big support on my journey. I’d have no hesitation recommending her to anyone.

Buthaynah Alothman 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I started working with Vanessa a month ago and have had a really positive experience. I am a personal trainer myself but needed to get back more focus and accountability towards my goals. I went in with lower back concerns due to previous injury problems of which she helped address immediately. She is extremely supportive while pushing you to be your best! I previously trained at a public gym with another trainer, before joining Vanessa in a boutique private gym. My training and results have both elevated since the move, and the space makes me feel so comfortable. Thank you Vanessa for all your support.

Vishnupriya Gupta 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Before starting with Vanessa, I had tried all sorts of fad dieting and heavily relied on cardio to loose weight - and of course that never worked out. This year, I really wanted to change my lifestyle and find a more sustainable way of loosing weight, and that's when I found Vanessa. After my first face to face consultation with her, I knew I had to work with her!! I've worked with Vanessa for 7 months now, and looking back, I cannot imagine how far I've come! I had never lifted weights before, and this week I did a 60kgs hip thrust!! I also feel more confident in the gym when I'm by myself as I can navigate through weights and machines and understand their purpose. Having said that, the biggest challenge with my weight loss journey was the food. I've always been a vegetarian so my food is naturally carb heavy. With Vanessa, I didn't have to change my taste - just learn how to make my Indian food more healthy. During these 7 months, I didn't have to restrict myself or skip a meal even once (in fact, I might have had to eat more to get the right nutrition). The third biggest shift has been my shift in the mindset. I've become more gentle with my body, and if I have a big meal, or life gets in the way, I'm more gentle to myself. My mindset has also enabled me to choose healthier life habits in general, which has directly affected my mental health. Now I'm off on a month long break to travel, but once I'm back, I cannot wait to restart with Vanessa. I've already lost 10% body fat, but I'm not stopping there

Maryam Khan 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Working with Vanessa was life changing for me. She not only helped me regarding my physical health, but the sessions I had with her helped me so much mentally which is why I decided to start training in the first place. I was apprehensive in finding a trainer that suited me and that I would feel comfortable with but Vanessa was so lovely from the initial consultation that we had, I knew it was the right fit. I loved going to the sessions and she took into account everything - time of the month, when I was fasting, feeling anxious. She made small changes to the sessions so they were tailored to me whilst still pushing me so I could see the results I wanted. Vanessa helps you understand food and create a lifestyle change so that you’re not cutting out all the foods you love or feel like you’re doing a short term diet. This was one of the biggest changes for me as I began to intuitively pick food that was good for me and that I enjoyed. I began to see the physical changes and benefits and genuinely felt the best I had in a long time. I can’t recommend Vanessa enough; she’s a genuine person and an amazing personal trainer ♥️♥️♥️

mon 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: When I initially made the choice to find myself a personal trainer, I did so after years of on-and-off dieting, of only ever using the treadmill at the gym and definitely always the one in the corner, and of feeling uncomfortable with my level of fitness, my weight, my body and really my overall lifestyle. The gym and anything related to it felt super intimidating, and there was an overwhelming amount of contradicting information online that I had no idea what to do with. And while weight loss and getting stronger were of course the main goals, when looking for a PT I mostly just desperately wanted someone who would make me feel comfortable. After the first consultation I had with Vanessa I knew I’d found that - she has encouraged and pushed me every step of the way, and got me to a point of feeling confident and comfortable at the gym in only three month of working with her. I’ve lost weight, gotten so much stronger, my diet is healthier and better than ever, I feel overall so much fitter, and through all of that she managed to make me feel comfortable and helped with anything I needed. Working with Vanessa is a complete judgement free zone, she listens and helps you achieve exactly what you’re after, she’ll adjust the plan to fit around you 100% and will help you implement lasting lifestyle changes - one of the best decisions I ever made! Can’t recommend her enough & I’m truly grateful for all her support over these last three months.

Martyna Petlak 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Working with Vanessa has been amazing. She’ll motivate & push you, but she also doesn’t make you feel guilty for life getting in a way and will help you adjust the plan to fit around you. If youre looking for something that is not a quick fix but a long-lasting lifestyle change (though first changes will come sooner than you think) - I would 100% recommend working with her.

Adanna Onu 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: When I got started, I wanted to find someone who could help me not only gain confidence in going to the gym and knowing what to do there but also help me improve my overall health and well-being. Vanessa has been amazing in helping me gain confidence in working out but also in keeping myself accountable. Her workouts have been tailored to me and she’s always willing to change things if I’m not enjoying them. Honestly working with her has been the best decision I’ve made for my health and I’ve enjoyed the last 8 months.

Sarah Taplin 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Vanessa helped me hugely with integrating exercise into my life, proving to me that I can build up my strength and how to find balance with my diet. I suffer with endometriosis and she was amazingly conscious of this and would alter my plans around my pain/weakness. Would recommend 100%!

Donny Jackson (DonnyJ) 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love working with Vanessa! Starting my fitness journey I really wanted to focus on putting in place good but sustainable habits. I’m feeling stronger healthier and so proud, to be able to go to the gym alone and feel confident navigating the weights section. Vanessa’s approach has really allowed me to love exercise again and learn to love my body. It’s great to be pushed whilst still enjoying life and food! Would recommend her for any woman who wants to take back ownership of her body!❤️

Abi Chohan 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Worked with Vanessa for around 6 months and she is, without a doubt, an amazing and patient PT who has adapted to me and my circumstances while also pushing me to be stronger in the gym and more mindful around food. My whole relationship with food and health has changed for the better and it’s because Vanessa has slowly added goals that encourages a lifestyle change rather than a ‘quick diet fix’. I honestly don’t recognise some of the though-processes I had 6 months ago, crazy how much of a different person I feel right now compared to back then and the sustainable habits I’ve picked up along the way.

Orla 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Vanessa for 4 months now and can say it was one of the best decisions I have made, I have changed so much physically and mentally. I started out with the online coaching for 4 weeks and transitioned to face to face training - my experience with both were great as Vanessa really takes the time to get to know you and your needs/goals! I felt lost and really nervous to take the the first step on my fitness journey, and would encourage anyone who feels the same to reach out to Vanessa!

Sowsan Samater 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Vanessa now for 9 months and I’ve seen a massive difference in my confidence and fitness. The training is tailored to you as an individual and your goals, which has been a massive help and made sure that I was able to hit my goals and see changes in my habits, which has helped me achieve my goals so far. Vanessa is very knowledgeable and an absolute joy to works with.

Razan Aljanabi 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: My journey with Vanessa has just begun and it’s been a fantastic start. Vanessa completely understood my personal circumstances and designed my plan to cater for it. My body shape has changed and developed . My plans were a good mixture of working different body parts which really kept me interested. Vanessa is always there to listen to me and change things on my plan where it seemed fit. She is always at hand when needed , responds to messages quickly and is really good in making you feel motivated. Don't delay, get Vanessa booked today!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Vanessa for 3 months and in that short time I’ve achieved so much. I’m stronger, healthier and have a completely new mindset. My lifestyle now compared to a few months ago has improved tenfold. Vanessa really cares about each of her clients and does everything she can to help you reach goals realistically. Recommend her highly!!

Jess Mcmillan 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Vanessa is amazing! thank you so much for everything because you have been amazing. You really showed me how to have a healthy relationship with food and fitness and didn’t push me to a place of eating too little like every other pt I have had. You really listened to me even when work was getting too much and I couldn’t cope. I will literally reccomend you to anyone that will listen because you are truly the best pt. Plus I’ve lost 11lbs from my heaviest but in a healthy way and on my terms ❤️

Rebecca Taylor 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Vanessa is the best trainer I've ever had (and I've had a lot). She knows how to help you form habits for life instead of quick fixes and is understanding and patient when it comes to people like me who have food and exercise issues. The support she provides is unrivalled and tailors the plan to you individually. I have never stuck with a trainer or any type of lifestyle change for this long and it's all down to Vanessa and her expertise.

Charlotte Cowley 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started training with Vanessa because I had tried dieting on and off for years and wanted a sustainable lifestyle change for my physical and mental health. As soon as we met during my consultation I knew we were on the same page and the last 2 months have completely changed my mindset and lifestyle. I am tracking progress in a way that works for me and keeps me motivated without just using numbers. I’ve lost fat and gained muscle (one of my goals) without feeling like I’m restricting myself or hungry all the time. I have learned how to weight train and am confident training in the gym by myself for the first time in ages. Importantly the focus has been just as much on my mental well-being and self esteem. I feel so much more confident now and I’m excited to keep going! Vanessa’s support, guidance and motivation have played a big part in getting me to where I am now.

Joy Kuverua 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have really enjoyed working with Vanessa over the last 12 weeks. She’s very supportive and motivates me at every step, ensuring I achieve my goals with workouts and nutrition. I’ve grown in confidence, seen a huge difference in my body rather than focusing on the number on the scale. I now have a new mindset and love working out, definitely ready to take everything I’ve learnt from her and continue my journey. Highly recommend ☺️

Fantastic experience: When I first messaged Vanessa to enquire PT sessions I was invited to a face to face consultation. I was unsure before arriving whether I would end up going through with it because it was completely new to me so I had a lot of self doubt and the idea of weight lifting was quite intimidating. But as soon as I met Vanessa and spoke to her these doubts immediately left! She asked me questions and listened to me & I could tell it was a complete no judgement zone and she genuinely wanted to help me. I knew straight away I could trust her. Since joining in January I have progressed so much! I could never have lifted the weights I’m lifting now 7 weeks ago!! & I could not have done this without the guidance, encouragement & confidence Vanessa has given me. I have learnt so much from Vanessa already in and outside the gym from form to nutrition & being kinder to myself & not focusing on the number on the scale which has been a tough habit to break from all the fad diets I have done in the past. Vanessa has genuinely helped me to change my relationship with exercise and food, I look forward to every session we have and I am looking forward to the remainder of our time together but also to continue this in the future as my new life style. I cannot recommend enough

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Vanessa for 7 weeks now and I can honestly say it has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. In such a short space of time she has offered so much support and I am already noticing a huge difference in my fitness, abilities and confidence. I can't wait to see what further progress I make! Vanessa has tailored all of my training specifically to meet my needs; she is so knowledgeable and puts this into all of her practice. I am so grateful to be working with her and would highly recommend.

Positive experience: Came into Join gym to join personal 1-2-1 classes fully booked for next few months which is fair enough. but was willing to let me join online classes without a fitness induction hmm

Hey Kristine. I sent you the information about the online package I offer, off the back of your request. I had no intention to take you on as a client, without a consultation & a movement screening first. You never responded to my message regarding online coaching information, therefore a consultation & movement screening was never booked. Apologies that I have no availability to take you on as a face to first to face client right now. Not sure this experience warrants a 3 star review, as we have never worked together or met.

Fantastic experience: Its been a pleasure to train with Vanessa. She tailored exercises which has helped me to strengthen my core after childbirth. She also helped me to increase my protein intake which has helped in improving my stamina and recovery . There is a change in my mindset where I am mindful of my diet, steps and workouts, thanks to Vanessa .You can always have a laugh with her which is one of the reasons I used to look forward to our sessions in the gym .

Fantastic experience: Been working with Vanessa since August. I’ve noticed as the months went I got more confident, felt more secure and stronger physically but also mentally. It’s important to train with someone who makes you feel safe, pushes you but also understands your bodies needs and Vanessa was able to do just that. I’ve had the most amazing time with her, learning so much about my body, what exercises target what muscles, and what food to eat to make sure I see results. I’ve noticed a massive difference within myself and I’m so grateful and thankful that Vanessa has supported me throughout this journey. I’d leave our sessions and just feel so so good. I couldn’t have done it if she wasn’t pushing me along the way. Very professional, genuine, but you also make a friend in this journey. The sessions have been filled with nothing but hard work and laughs . And it’s all rewarded in the end with the results that you see.

Fantastic experience: Working with Vanessa has been a pure joy!! She is so knowledgeable and helpful at every step. Her training is not just fitness, it is improving your whole lifestyle. Pushing you but also understanding having a balanced life. I’m just 12 weeks I have gained so much strength and confidence in the gym, lost nearly a stone and improved my mindset and relationship around food and fitness. I can’t recommend Vanessa enough, a sweet soul and brilliant PT ☺️

Sally Holdsworth 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Before working with Vanessa I'd never stepped in a gym before never mind worked out. I started with Vanessa just over 3 months ago and she made me feel so comfortable from the first day. She supported me in my progress to become healthier and fitter. I definitely have learnt so much about the workouts I'm doing but also around food, I now know what is in my food and how to fuel my body properly. I definitely can not recommended Vanessa enough! If you are nervous about the gym or don't know where to start Vanessa is the gal you need

Fantastic experience: The best PT for postpartum!!! Helped me to gain my strength and confidence back after having 2 babies. Vanessa is very knowledgeable in pre and post natal fitness so I know I am in safe hands which was very important to me when finding a PT to work with.

George Arkley 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: After just one month of training with Vanessa, I've already noticed a huge change in my mental and physical health. She focuses on how I feel in my body, instead of the number on the scales. It's all about body confidence and feeling good on the inside and out. She supports my goals and tailors my training to my individual needs. Vanessa goes the extra mile to make sure I stay on track and feel comfortable with my training plan. 10/10 Highly recommend!

Emma Paterson 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Been with Vanessa since the end of the last lockdown, and she’s been nothing but brilliant. It just only helping me lose weight, but have a better relationship with my food and mentality of how to approach food, and pushing me to go further in my training. I’m super thankful for all the guidance she has given me and I would 100% recommend training with her!!

Natalie Vand 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have had an amazing experience working with Vanessa both face to face and more recently via online coaching. Before my journey started I was scared to go into a gym I couldn’t do a squat and knew nothing about nutrition. Vanessa has taught me so much not just about nutrition and fitness related stuff but how to look after my well-being which has been an important part of my journey. Vanessa is incredibly knowledgeable and so so so supportive I couldn’t ask for a better coach.

Holly Clarke 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have absolutely loved working with Vanessa over the past 12 weeks. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a supportive PT who will help you achieve your goals whilst enjoying the journey. I have completely changed my relationship with food and exercise over the past 3 months, and now have such a positive mindset around eating and working out. Vanessa is so supportive and brilliant at communicating throughout, with loads of helpful resources online and great sessions in person. I never felt under pressure when I did go off plan, and my journey was completely tailored to my dietary needs and work schedule. Loved every moment, couldn’t recommend her enough!

Jenny McCourt 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Vanessa has not only helped me lose weight but gain strength and improve on exercises. Before training with Vanessa I was doing gym classes without ever really getting better or feeling stronger but now I can squat deeper than I thought I ever could and am on my way to doing full press ups! In addition, Vanessa always has her clients wellbeing at the forefront of her mind.

Fantastic experience: Vanessa is amazing. She really understands your goals and tailors her plans to suit your individual needs. Her focus is not just about achieving results in the gym but also ensuring that mentally you feel strong, driven and empowered. I don’t think I would have made it through lockdown without her inspiration.

Laura Rooney 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have worked with Vanessa on and off for around 18 months now, first with private sessions, then when I moved house and gym as an online client and since lockdown I have been doing her zoom LBT classes twice a week and more recently her outdoor group PT sessions. Vanessa is the most encouraging, knowledgeable and friendly trainer you could hope to meet, not only has she helped me lose inches and gain strength and confidence in the gym, she has transformed my relationship with food and my body and the way I think about exercise in general. Before I was constantly "on a diet" and just trying to get thin, I hated the way I looked and would punish myself with food, then the cycle would start all over again! Now I train to be healthy, eat moderately (most of the time!) and don't feel guilty if I do overindulge. Vanessa is a fantastic role model and has helped me accept and work with my body rather than trying to change it - I even love my big bum! My physical transformation hasn't been as dramatic as some, but Vanessa has helped me so much (more than I think she realises!) and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone! Thank you Vanessa!

Chloe Greaves 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: If you're contemplating working with on your fitness and nutrition, the only advice I can give you is that you need to work with Vanessa! She truly takes the time to understand your goals, lifestyle and struggles, and is there every step of the way through your journey. Not only has she helped me to implement good habits, but she's made me see the difference these make and gave some great advice whenever I struggled. She's an absolute gem and I've loved working with her, even at 6am PY sessions when I'm barely awake!

Evie Kilford 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Vanessa has been amazing the past few months in lockdown! The live workout classes of LBT in the morning have motivated me to get up and get moving and it sets you off in a great place for the rest of the day. She has taught me so much about nutrition which I will carry on doing for the rest of my life. Her plan isn’t just a quick here do this, she really works with you to make sure it is the best plan that is specifically tailored to your needs. She has been a life saver!

Lauren Okell 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been with Vanessa nearly a year and I’ve loved every minute! I’ve done all forms of exercise over the years but it wasn’t until Vanessa made me focus more on diet and strength training that I saw serious improvements. She works with you using feedback on a weekly basis so it helps you to keep on track with your goals as well as improving week on week. I’ve also struggled with calf and hamstring injuries over the years due to running - she adapted the programme to help these areas and I’ve seen significant improvements to my PBs. Even though she’s helped me be confident enough to do it myself in the gym, I’d still stay with her as I love how she continuously pushes me to try new things that I’d never think I could even do!

Chloe Gilmour 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Vanessa is such a kind and lovely person to work with! She has such a nice holistic approach to fitness, nutrition and mindset. I’m healthier and happier now than before I started. She never makes you feel judged or guilty for things that diet culture has taught us to be guilty for ie having a meal at a restaurant or eating a candy bar. For example the first couple of weeks I would send my check in form saying things like “improve on nutrition” because I’d eaten a chocolate bar but Vanessa would always respond saying that all my meals were good and she didn’t see a problem with my weekly food intake and it made me realise that actually, as part of a balanced lifestyle these ‘bad foods’ were actually fine, as long as you’re not binging on em. I feel in the last 3 months this shift in mindset has been the biggest thing for me and it’s made me happier. In addition, the workouts are super fun and allows you to try loads of exercises you may have never done or even thought of. She pushes you but not to the point where you’re gonna be K.O for 3 days before doing anything again. Highly recommend Vanessa as a PT for anyone :)

Cait Stowell 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Working with Vanessa is amazing. She is so supportive and non judgemental. As someone who has struggled with having a positive attitude about food and not being the sportiest person anywhere, she has changed my attitude towards having to do grueling cardio on no calories to bodyweight exercise and a satisfying diet. I have also lost weight sustainably and seen results in pictures as well as the mental change!

Fantastic experience: Vanessa became my PT while in lockdown and doing these online sessions with her I have not only seen a huge difference in only 6 weeks, feeling stronger and my clothes are looser, but I feel confident enough to go into a gym now (once we are allowed)!! I've done one or two of the online group classes she runs aswell and its always such a comfortable environment!

Fantastic experience: Hands down, the best trainer I’ve worked with. Not only have I seen great results over the last few months and finally being happy with what I see in the mirror, the whole process has been so much fun with Vanessa. If you’re looking for a complete lifestyle change which is sustainable and brings you enjoyment in life, I would definitely recommend V as a PT.

Fantastic experience: I cannot describe what a pleasure it has been to train with Paiigefitness and the girls over the past six weeks!! She has pushed me to reach fitness goals I never thought I would in such a short space of time as well as providing amazing support through the process. I feel the most confident I’ve felt in a such long time and I couldn’t be more grateful for all the hard work she has put in to get me to this point!!
