PT Powertrain - Personal Training

Fantastic experience: Great personalised training with support and encouragement all the way.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Lucy for over a month now and I am already feeling much stronger and more confident in my workouts. She has particularly helped me with my technique which was lacking as I had mainly trained alone up until this point. Plus she is lovely and encouraging! I would highly recommend Lucy wholeheartedly.

Fantastic experience: She is fantastic-knowledgeable, motivating, balances challenge perfectly, and keeps sessions varied and engaging. Would recommend for anyone at any stage of their fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: I started training with Lucy 5 months ago, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience and the results. Lucy is incredibly committed to tailoring each session to suit my individual goals, and her supportive approach makes every workout enjoyable. She is so friendly and personable that time flies during our sessions, and I always leave feeling positive and energized. Most importantly, I have seen real, tangible results in my fitness journey, and I couldn’t ask for a better trainer. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: After becoming a dad twice over I'd been thinking about PT for a while to help me stay honest with training and diet to make sure I was there for my girls as they grew up. In just 4 months, Lucy has changed my approach to food almost completely (amazing what accountability will do!), helped correct years of bad form in my major lifts and solved a persistent back/sciatic nerve issue of mine. Strong recommend, I'm still a client after all!

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t ask for a better PT, would recommend to anyone! Can’t wait to continue my fitness journey with Lucy.

Fantastic experience: I am so glad I found Lucy, I have improved my technique and flexibility within the sessions. I find Lucy encouraging and she challenges me to be better. Really love the sessions and variety. Would 100% recommend!

Fantastic experience: Having previously trained with Lucy before I got married, I asked for her help with prenatal training, and she’s been amazing. Lucy has given me a programme that feels safe but challenging and it’s kept me motivated and active throughout pregnancy. Our sessions together are always fun and informative - highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Lucy is amazing, knows her stuff and is a great motivator!

Fantastic experience: Went to Lucy after getting lots of injuries when training. She was great. Adapted her training for all my niggles and helped me build up my core strength. Also got the added bonus of some great company and lost a stone. Would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Lucy is brilliant! I came to PT with no fitness level what so ever, I'd never stepped foot in the weights area of the gym, I'd only ventured as far as the cardio area and didn't know what to expect from a PT. Lucy is so encouraging and clear that from just the first session I was confident enough from Lucy's guidance to frequent the weight area and go through my routines, I never would of been able to do that if not for her. My confidence and fitness level has already improved greatly after just a few sessions, and I'm loving finding out what I'm capable of. I'd recommend PT powertrain to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Since the pandemic has started I put on weight and was not happy with my weight/body. Being a not sporty person my whole life, I thought to give PT with Lucy a try. From my first interaction and no clue about PT, Lucy would explain to me very clearly what PT was and what would be done in the sessions. She asked me about my goal and created a plan based on my needs, body stamina and type. Throughout my journey Lucy was very kind to explain to me things I didn't know about exercising, nutrition etc. and was extremely patient with all my questions to her. Each session Lucy came up with new exercises making every session fun and interesting. Moreover, I would always look forward to my sessions with her (that even though it was early mornings). After just a few sessions I was extremely motivated to exercise more to a level where I now love exercising and it has become an integral part in my daily life. I was under the impression training is nothing for me, but with Lucy you start enjoying it. I can't recommend Lucy enough, if you are looking for a great PT, Lucy is your wo(man). I am looking forward to starting my next sessions with Lucy very soon.

Fantastic experience: Lucy is a fantastic PT who is a cut above the rest. I have been training with Lucy for over 6 months and in that time I’ve hit my target weight, lost fat and more importantly gained muscle. She focuses on technique and form and pushes me with different weight training exercises each week. She also provides me with a tailored training program for me to do at home or the gym to help me achieve my goals. Would 100% recommend Lucy!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Lucy for nearly four years and would not be without her. I never much liked exercise but always enjoy training with her. I always feel great after her training sessions and she is such a positive and lovely person to be around. She is extremely knowledgeable and has pushed me and my husband way beyond what we thought we could achieve.

Fantastic experience: Lucy @ Powertrain is amazing! She listens to my health goals and tailored a plan that fits in with my abilities (inc. peri menopause) and time commitments. Always professional, Lucy is encouraging and holds me to account, helping me to overcome any apprehension or anxiety I have in trying something new... Which happens a lot! If you're thinking about getting a PT, stop searching ☺️ Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Lucy is excellent! Guided me through injury and gave great advice and care. Couldn’t have recovered without her- definitely made me stronger and fitter.

Fantastic experience: Lucy is an excellent PT. She is very knowledgeable, creative in her sessions and will definitely help you get the results you need! She is also lovely which means not only is the strength training good but so is the chat!

Fantastic experience: I started with Lucy after dislocating my shoulder. Lucy designed me a rehab programme that slowly strengthen my back and shoulder muscles to the point where I was back to full strength. We are now pushing on with further strength training that is tailored to me. A positive and encouraging coach, Lucy has helped me regain my fitness and is setting me up for life in my 40’s.

Fantastic experience: I would 100% recommend Lucy as a PT. I've been seeing her for over 2 years now and my level of fitness and general health (she also offers dietary advice) has massively improved in this time. I would never have tried weight lifting without her!

Fantastic experience: Lucy is fantastic as a PT. You set out your goals and Lucy will make sure you smash them and push yourself further than you thought. I had limited lifting experience but Lucy put me at ease with everything and now I feel confident. Would recommend to anyone looking for a PT to go to Lucy first

Fantastic experience: Lucy is a fantastic personal trainer! I would highly recommend her! She completely understands the human anatomy, really clearly explains how to perform all the exercises and continually ensures that you are doing them correctly. I've had PT before but Lucy has been the best I've had. She takes you at your personal individual pace, with the right level of challenging you to get the most out of the sessions. Couldn't recommend PT Powertrain more!

Fantastic experience: Lucy is incredible! She has helped me tremendously with my post-covid fitness and weight loss journey!

Fantastic experience: I came to Lucy with basically zero fitness and no idea where to start. She has given me the knowledge and confidence to change my mindset on training. I’ve now been training for around 5 months and It’s incredible how much progress I have made and I couldn’t have done it without Lucy‘s sessions and the home workouts she has put together for me. So grateful that I found Lucy she is a fantastic PT.

Fantastic experience: Recovering from back surgery was super easy with Lucy. As a complete beginner to personal training and weight training she was exceptional. The sessions were well prepared and I genuinely found myself enjoying them. Lucy is a great teacher with a calm and nurturing spirit. I’ve seen such incredible results in my body, and I owe it all to my training and lifestyle change, guided by Lucy. No quick fixes, but rather sustainable and effective solutions! Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: I have recently started on a strength building journey with Lucy and I’m really happy to say she is an excellent PT. She quickly understands your current level and motivation and then supports you perfectly to achieve your goal. Supporting you, motivating you, inspiring you and pushing you when you need it and don’t believe you can achieve it! And on top of that she is a lovely person and a pleasure to spend time with!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Lucy for about 6 months now and I can only say she’s changed my life. I have been struggling for years to get into training. I tried multiple approaches, going to the gym, attending classes, but I saw almost no progress over the years or I would give up for months and then try to start again all over. I liked weight training, but I was always a bit skeptical to use weighs in my own because I was scared I would injure myself or not know how to use them properly, so I was never able to get into it before training with her. Lucy has been able to bring enjoyment in training for me, I’m training twice a week with her and I feel stronger and fitter than ever before. She is great at pushing me in every session without me feeling like it’s too much. When I first started, my wrists were so weak I couldn’t even hold myself into a plank and she’s been great at tailoring my exercises but also help me get rid of this issue.

Fantastic experience: This was my first time lifting weights and working with a PT so I was a bit nervous but Lucy put me at ease right away. I look forward to my sessions as they are always varied, good fun and I leave with a smile on my face. Plus the tailored workouts she puts together in the app mean I keep making progress between sessions. I’ve already achieved more than I ever imagined thanks to Lucy’s training and encouragement. If you’re thinking about training with Lucy, absolutely go for it. She’s a brilliant PT and I definitely recommend her!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience with fully, personalised, training approach. The sessions are further enhanced through the positive and motivating coaching. Strong recommendation to anyone who wants to reach a sports goal, fitness goal or just general fitness motivation.

Fantastic experience: WORLDS BEST PT! My fiancé and I started with Lucy a year ago. We were not bothered about sport or fitness but felt we should start to get a bit back into shape since COVID made us a little more round that we wanted!! Now, our mindset is completely different. We watch what we eat which Lucy has been instrumental in helping us with, we are SO much stronger than a year ago, and we both genuinely care about the state of our bodies. Lucy has devised personalised PT at home workout plans for us, as well as helped us with injuries and illnesses. Because of Lucy, I am going to get a second opinion on my hip through a dr she recommended. I am also coming off my anti depressants because of how I am feeling about myself now and that is all down to Lucy. I genuinely wouldn’t be where I am today or the person I am today without Lucy. Thank you Lucy. You’ve literally changed my life. Ps. She has the worlds cutest dog & fluffiest cat! Always a bonus!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Lucy for around 3 months now. It’s my first PT experience and I’m very happy with the service and results. The location is perfect as I can ride there. I also find the app helpful, especially the how to videos and ability to log progress. I would strongly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Lucy is a really professional and knowledgeable PT. She tailor made routines for me to suit my needs, including my aches and pains and always made sure that I was comfortable doing the workouts she proposed. I would really recommend her if you are looking for a good program to keep you motivated!

Fantastic experience: Lucy has provided me with exactly what I wanted from a personal trainer - a tailored programme focussed on what I want to achieve in my training. She has provided excellent guidance on improving not just my strength, but also my flexibility and overall fitness. Lucy’s knowledge and approach are excellent and I really enjoy training with her at her gym and following the workouts she has set me at home. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Lucy is by far the best PT I have had. I started with Lucy 6months before my first wedding date to slim down for the wedding. She listened to exactly what I wanted and needed rather than putting me on a generic program like I had experienced in the past. I have kept with Lucy through my wedding date changes and through the various lockdowns. Lucy provided me with programs to work from home, offered zoom training sessions to help keep me going, which was just what I needed. It has kept me sane through the lockdowns despite everything going on. I will be keeping my time with Lucy despite having finally had my wedding day, and achieving my goals set. Lucy has demonstrated her commitment as a PT by her facilities transformation. She has a range of new equipment for all abilities and goals, everything is kept neat and tidy and each sessions is well prepared for as not to waste time. Lucy has helped me ensure I have correct form and pushes me every sessions. She has excellent communication skills as she demonstrates and explains every move/activity so it is clear prior to lifting any weights. I have grown in confidence mentality and about my body image and thoroughly look forward to my sessions with her. She is so positive, knowledgeable and funny and would whole heartedly recommend her.

Fantastic experience: Lucy has been amazing. She’s very patient and supportive while making sure that the workouts are challenging enough to get results. Her accountability through food & following the training plans set out has been invaluable and it’s great to see progress. The considerable amount of knowledge she has is clear and it’s good to understand the rationale behind each exercise. I started as a complete beginner and her understanding of the results I want to achieve along with the support to get there has been excellent. I’d definitely recommend for anyone, even if (like me) personal training is new to you.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant personal trainer! Bespoke programmes, great to work with, highly motivating and delivers results! Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: When lockdown hit, I was determined to use the extra time I suddenly had to work on my fitness and keep myself active. Then when I saw Lucy was offering PT and group HIIT classes via Zoom, there were no excuses! I've loved training with Lucy every week since, no two weeks are the same, and what's REALLY impressive is how quickly she's adapted to training from a distance, using furniture and household items in place of gym equipment and really focusing on the huge range of things your body can do without pricey equipment. Being remote hasnt stopped Lucy's close focus on safety and proper technique and she takes times to really make sure you're moving safely, I've even had a go at handstands under her watchful eye! Lucy really does make sure her plans are closely tailored to your level of fitness, she pushes hard and keeps you working! What I love about training with Lucy though is how dedicated she is to her clients, I always feel supported, even beyond our sessions and she's always ready with a smile, keeping me motivated and active. I can't recommend highly enough, thank you Lucy!

Fantastic experience: I have trained with Lucy for over 5 years now and cannot recommend her enough. Extremely knowledgeable personal trainer who listens to what you're struggling with and trying to achieve. She is an expert not only in fitness but also nutrition and can make the toughest workout fun! I have tried her 1:1 classes in her studio and in Reading parks, online Zoom group classes and individual Zoom sessions and they've all been so worthwhile.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Lucy for many years and highly recommend her services. Whether you are experienced in the gym or just starting your journey, Lucy will develop the right training schedule for your specific needs and deliver great results.

Fantastic experience: Lucy is a fab personal trainer. I have been training with her for years now and the transformation I have achieved, both physically and mentally, has been fantastic. In addition, Lucy is great at personalising sessions to individual needs. I have had many issues with joint and muscle pain due to chronic health conditions and Lucy has been able to find ways to support me to train in a way that works for me; even if it means switching up a routine last minute.

Fantastic experience: I’m so glad I came to train with Lucy. She has taught me so much in just a few weeks and I really look forward to our sessions.

Fantastic experience: Lucy is excellent at tailoring training sessions to exactly what you need, making them both specific and varied enough to improve performance and keep you motivated. For the first six months I was training for a competition, and Lucy not only designed sessions for the specific movements I needed, but also to build up the supporting muscles I wasn’t aware were being a bit lazy. Lately I have been training online, and through injury, and Lucy still manages to work around the obstacles and keep sessions interesting and challenging. It’s amazing what you can do with just a resistance band for example :)

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Lucy for about 3 years now and I would 100% recommend her to anyone no matter what their current fitness level might be. My overall strength and fitness has improved and I am now so much more confidence with exercise and nutrition. Lucy is very supportive but also pushes you and I have found that I am able to do more than I ever realised. She is also great at making sure you have the correct form and breaks things down into easy steps. During COVID I have been training online with Lucy and it has been working really well and I am still able to learn new things. She has also been helping me with my nutrition and sending me plans to do at home by myself to keep me motivated.

Fantastic experience: Lucy is a highly professional trainer. She helped me get into the shape of my life, working as my strength and conditioning coach for an upcoming boxing bout. Her knowhow and movitation were second to none.

Fantastic experience: Training with Lucy for nearly a year now, mostly resistance with a bit of cardio / HIIT thrown in. She's much more detail-focused than other instructors I've worked with, ensuring you use the correct technique to achieve the best result and avoid injuring yourself in the process. She's also very flexible to book with, which is great as a shift worker, and keeps the sessions varied to avoid monotony. She evolved as the Covid-19 lockdowns began to bite, and provided outdoor sessions and online classes to keep the training going. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Lucy for about 7 years and cannot recommend her enough. Her encouragement and enthusiasm for helping people makes the sessions fun and enjoyable. Her attention to detail regarding form is amazing - she will not let you get away with bad technique and has all sorts of tips and tricks up her sleeve to improve technique, help you progress and reach your goals. She goes above and beyond what most PTs offer, providing plans for your own training, offering nutritional advice if you wish, and tailoring your training to your own needs. As well as ensuring you can nail the classics, Lucy always offers something new to try which keeps sessions exciting, and encourages her clients to exceed their own expectations and to believe in themselves - her positive "can do" attitude is infectious. She has helped me reach a number of personal goals through thoroughly enjoyable sessions - I wouldn't trust anyone else to train me!
