Kind words from my clients

Having never been sporty and having spent my entire 45-year professional career in sedentary academic jobs hunched over a computer or laptop, I have benefited enormously from my one-on-one twice-weekly personal training sessions with Ann-Louise over the past five years.

Over the past 6 years Ann-Louise has encouraged me that you are never too old to exercise. I have increased confidence, strength of body and flexibility and as I approach the age of 78 I cannot envisage what my quality of life would be without my weekly work out.

At 77 years old, I have a few specific aches and pains, like most people of my age. One of Ann-Louise’s strengths is her ability to skirt skilfully and sympathetically around these weak spots. With such bespoke treatment the end of every session brings a sense of improvement and is bracing and positive.

Ann-Louise’s sessions are a great kick start to my week! I want to continue to improve my fitness but with a focus on building strength and maintaining muscle mass. Since starting the sessions I feel physically stronger and can see progression in my exercises. Good fun (generally!) too!

I have absolutely loved doing Ann-Louise’s classes. I feel stronger, healthier and happier. Can’t wait to see what more classes can do!

I’m already feeling stronger with improved flexibility, strength and I can run around in my new job without getting breathless.

I do run and walk regularly but still felt out of shape. I enjoy the structure and challenge of these sessions and my posture has improved.

My hour sessions with Ann-Louise once a week help maintain a general level of fitness that I find really helps with other activities. Despite a serious knee injury 10 years ago, I’m still able to run a decent distance at a fair pace and I have noticed the positive impact of the general strength training we do.

I started weekly PT sessions with Ann-Louise in January this year. I was a complete beginner with fitness and very nervous about where I should begin. With her support, knowledge and excellent sessions I managed to shed 6kg in the first 4 weeks and adapt my day to day routine to include 4 exercise sessions a week that I feel confident and enjoy doing. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a friendly and supportive introduction to fitness.

I have been training with Ann-Louise since she started her business. At that time I was 72 years of age, putting on weight at an alarming rate and completely unfit. I really enjoy our 1-2-1 sessions once a week and backed up with her Kettlebell Class and a routine of a couple of really good walks she has changed my complete outlook on life in my seventies, proving that it is never too late to start a routine of exercise and live life to the full whatever age you are. I am so grateful for her motivation and the way she plans sessions to suit my individual ability, whilst increasing my level of fitness and strength.

I’ve been training with Ann-Louise for over two years now, having started with her 3 months after having my baby. I’ve really enjoyed having her support as I’ve come from very little fitness to now feeling strong and fit. Her home studio is amazingly well equipped and she keeps it interesting with a great range of exercises each week. Ann-Louise isn’t a shouty motivator but her support and encouragement has been really lovely and her commitment to her clients’ wholescale fitness and well-being is much appreciated – thank you Ann-Louise!

I have been training with Ann-Louise for 2 years now. I thoroughly enjoy both her one to one sessions and group classes. Ann-Louise puts a lot of effort in each session to make them varied. There is always a lot of content to give a full body workout. I have definitely seen an improvement in my core strength and stamina since working out with Ann-Louise.

Ann-Louise’s classes are a lot of fun and have definitely helped to improve my strength and fitness. The classes are different each week, they’re never boring! She is very knowledgeable and fully committed to what she does. Highly recommend.

Since training with SALT for over 12 months now and getting into a brilliant routine with my classes and PT sessions, I was worried about losing my rhythm and motivation when lockdown hit. But SALT has been more than amazing. SALT PT has turned my training around and given me confidence, strength and continual challenge. I wouldn’t be without it! Thank you team SALT!

Since lockdown Ann-Louise has inspired me to continue to keep fit. I join the weekly kettlebell class and just love it. She is so encouraging and keeps it fresh each week. I feel great! Thanks for the motivation Ann-Louise.

I’ve progressed from a 2kg kettlebell, to a 4kg and now 6kgs! It’s a great combination of cardio, strength and toning and doesn’t get boring as each move is 60 seconds! I have done SALT’s circuit training in the past too which was hardcore but fun!
