a lot fitter

Since having children (some years ago now!) I have failed to find any exercise I have been able to stick to and it was getting harder and harder to stay fit.
I have now been training with Olivia for 8 months and really enjoying it. Olivia changes it each session so it’s never boring and always challenging!
With a great temperament, Olivia is very encouraging and keeps the sessions fun.
I’m certainly a lot fitter than I was before I started and somewhat leaner too!
I can highly recommend.

I'm the fittest I've ever been!

Olivia is an amazing PT! I've had several personal trainers in London over the last few years and have had by far and away the best results with her training. In just six months thanks to her sessions and nutritional advice I have been able to reduce my body fat percentage significantly and increase my muscle mass too. I never thought I would achieve these goals so quickly and I'm the fittest I've ever been!

Olivia also has a lovely style - always positive and motivating - and our sessions are super fun and varied. She consistently pushes me to go that little bit further each time with workouts tailored to my personal goals. She is also really flexible and accommodating which is a huge help when you have a busy and changeable work schedule.

If you are looking for a personal trainer in the area I can't recommend her highly enough!

Mental and physical self-improvement

Olivia created a personalised training programme to suit my goals, she was instantly aware of what I wanted to achieve, a top professional trainer who is well worth the investment. Olivia focuses on motivating and helping you set measurable goals, her fitness regime is reflected in her own physique and attitude.
So If you’re ready to challenge yourself and embark on both mental and physical self-improvement, I highly recommend Olivia Pettifer as your trainer to join you on your journey.
