Either I attract the best clients, who happen to become the best of friends, or I’m in the right business (I think it’s a combination of the two!), because I feel grateful every day for the people who make up my humble Fit Brit Collective family. Some of my private and class clients have been with me since I started FBC as my full-time gig in 2016. Others have granted me the privilege of training them through their pregnancies and throughout early motherhood until they are ready to return to work or move on – nearly always stronger than they were before they began training for two.
Here are a few of the kind words clients have shared over the years…
Pre- and post-natal training
I’ve really enjoyed my training with Brit, taking part in her group mum and baby classes and private one-on-one sessions. I wanted to find someone who really knew their stuff on my tentative return to exercise earlier this year following a Caesarean birth and Brit certainly does! Brit was able to adapt exercises to suit my ability and push me to train harder where I could. I also need my exercise to be fun, so thanks Brit for keeping it enjoyable and being so upbeat all the time! I’m looking forward to our next session!

I started a personal training course with Brit when I was about 10 weeks postpartum. I had put on extra weight with my second son, and had quite a difficult birth. I was nervous about how my body would react to training and if I would ever be able to feel like myself again. I met Brit first for a chat about how she could help me and instantly felt as ease and excited about getting back to it. She listened to my desires and anxieties and I was so relieved to hear how her work ethic was about focusing on my physical strength, as well as the emotional gains I would get from incorporating fitness in my life. She wasn’t going to sell me a quick fix bikini body programme that my body couldn’t handle and that was unsafe or unrealistic.
Our sessions were great fun. She came to us at home, the workouts were tough but measured and she kept a close eye on how my body was responding and changing. She bounced my son around if he was ever unsettled, so I could focus on myself for an hour. She was encouraging and enthusiastic. The workouts were different every week and she understood if home pressures meant I didn’t always complete my homework! We moved away from the area and I was so sad I wasn’t able to continue my training with Brit. I would recommend her to anyone.

Brit is an amazing trainer! I started personal training sessions with her after having a baby, and she helped me get back into shape more smoothly than I could have imagined. Brit challenged me safely at every session, always remaining positive and a great motivator. She knew all the right exercises to help me rehabilitate my core and improve my fitness without just jumping around. I definitely recommend her to new mums and anyone else who wants to incorporate fitness as a long-term lifestyle.

I feel incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to train with Brit for the past two years. Brit trained me right the way through my pregnancy and continues to train me post-natally. It’s so overwhelming for first time mums to know what is safe and there is a lot of conflicting information out there! I was relieved to have Brit’s expert advice and guidance, and trusted her completely to lead me in trimester appropriate exercises. Safety aside the training was always really enjoyable and her upbeat attitude pulls you through! I also highly recommend her mum and baby classes, where I found a little community of new mums coming together to make a little time for ourselves in the whirlwind of those early months. The babies loved it too of course!

Brit encouraged me to return to fitness training after a long postnatal break. Our sessions are always fun and varied and carefully and thoughtfully tailored to me – achievable but continually challenging me to get better and stronger! I’m continuing to see my form and fitness improve after two years as a client. Brit has a holistic and supportive approach and her advice on nutrition, lifestyle and wellbeing has also helped enormously with my energy levels and post-workout recovery. Thank you Brit!

I came to Brit to help me with my posture and my core strength through personal training sessions. I had never done any form of strength training before, so it was all new to me. Brit made me feel at ease straight away, I have learnt so much (and continue to do so) and she is always pushing me that little bit further than I think I can go.
Brit puts a lot of thought into our sessions, tailoring to my needs. I come away feeling so positive and “alive”, plus I always look forward to seeing her, she’s one of those people who are good to be around! My core is stronger than it’s ever been, I can do things I never thought I’d be able to do plus it’s had a positive effect on my running and strengthened a weak knee (torn ACL). I feel very lucky to have Brit as a personal trainer.

Brit is my hero! From the moment we started training together I really felt like she was in my corner. She completely understood my desire to feel stronger mentally as well as physically, and put as much effort into the emotional side of our training as she did the weightlifting and sweating part! She encourages me to push harder and smile more, and never seems to run out of enthusiasm, laughter, or ways to make our training more fun (and more challenging!). She recently helped me train for my second ultramarathon, and my performance this time round was so much stronger and more confident than my first – that is absolutely down to the work Brit and I have done together. I cannot shout her praise loud enough. It’s like training with a great friend, who doesn’t let you quit!

Brit’s patience is quite remarkable. She was able to transform a complete gym novice into someone who can confidently walk into a gym and not straight to the treadmill! She made our PT sessions engaging, encouraging and collaborative.
My goodness! Always bring a full bottle of water, towel and energy to Brit’s classes. You know you’re going to work hard. She will challenge you and you will come away with a fantastic, euphoric focus to your day.

Personal training with Brit gave me the confidence and information I needed to train more beneficially for my body. Instead of pounding the treadmill for km after km, Brit showed me how to mix it up and incorporate variety and intervals in a much more enjoyable way. Brit listened to my goals and our sessions were focused on actually enjoying exercise. I’d definitely recommend anyone to ‘Get Fit with Brit!’! Love it, love her!

The Stronger Together classes (where you work out with your baby in a sling) are amazing. They are a proper workouts, tailored to new mums so you know they are safe. Brit’s energy (and patience with the babies) is amazing. Classes are different each week too. Personally, she is really approachable, positive and knowledgeable! I totally recommend this class and can’t wait for the next term!

Getting back to feeling strong after a baby is really hard, more emotionally than physically in my opinion. Which is why I think group classes are the way forward, if you can find the right one. Brit’s knowledge of the body is incredible, particularly the changes it goes through during and after childbirth. And she attracts the most supportive, non-competitive, non-judgmental mums. She manages to push everyone just enough, within their postnatal limits, without making anyone feel like they’re doing less well than anyone else. I’ve already recommended her to every mum I know, and will keep recommending her. Get yourself booked in!

Brit is one of the toughest yet friendliest trainers in London. I always leave her sessions aching and sweating but smiling ear to ear. She pushes you to the limits in every session, creating serious results and ensuring you are never bored. Since training with Brit I have learned to plank properly, developed abs and tried more variations of burpees than I can count.

Brit is a truly fun and inspirational trainer! Her workouts are always varied and dynamic – making it a real treat to train with her every time. Her positive energy can motivate a crowd of any ability and you always come out of the workout with a real sense of accomplishment. A genuinely nice person and fantastic trainer, I would recommend her to anyone looking for both group and personal training sessions.

Brit bypassed my fears straight away as a newcomer to her Weightlifting Circuits classes. She took me to one side and asked about my experience with weights and what exercise I normally do. I felt comfortable and confident instantly, and the fact that classes are limited to 8 people means you get plenty of one-to-one time so Brit can make sure you’re doing everything correctly. Would highly recommend!

Brit has been absolutely instrumental in our success as a sustainable fashion brand by writing beautiful copy for our website and marketing material. We have had lots of positive feedback on the copy from both customers and retailers, with one retailer even saying it was the best brand copy they had seen. Through her eloquent writing, she is able to create moods and describe a lifestyle in a way that draws you and the customer in. Oh, and she is lovely to work with too!
