Abby has helped us endlessly throughout our training, I couldn’t recommend her enough. Not only has she guided us through our nutrition and helped us get into shape, she is a pleasure to have as our personal trainer :)

Abby always has something new up her sleeve to push you that little bit further, not one session is the same either which keeps me going - going to the gym is a chore to me but going to Abby is something I look forward to. Abby does measurements and before/after photos, these really are the confirmation of how good Abby is. I've definitely gained confidence, strength and lost some inches in the time I've trained with Abby and leave my sessions feeling better for it! Thanks Abby!!

I've never wanted to go to the gym. I'm not motivated enough and I'm certainly not inclined to be amongst those who are 'beach body ready' in an intimidating gym environment. So when it comes to 'that' sort of exercise I've always thought it was for someone else. That said, over the past few years I have struggled with a few issues to the point the doctor has 'prescribed' exercise for both my physical and mental wellbeing. Luckily my partner was seeing Abby and so (at the time) I reluctantly joined her for a fitness session. I must admit, it has been an absolute revelation and something I wish I'd done earlier!
A year later I am still going and enjoying our sessions! Abby is an excellent trainer, with a patient nature and incredibly knowledgeable in her profession. She motivates in a way which makes you want to carry on.
My blood pressure is lower, I certainly feel better in myself and my stamina has improved!
Never been to a gym? Please don't be put off like I was, because there are people who are willing to help like Abby!
Thank you Abby!!

I'm now into my second year of fitness sessions with Abby and am still making good, steady progress. I found a few dresses at the back of my wardrobe recently that I thought I'd never wear again, just didn't feel confident in them. Anyway, I put them on and was astonished to see a trimmer waist and generally much more toned on my upper half! Also, I wore a sports bra for my last set of measurements, something I would never have considered doing before, as a lady in her fifties! Abby continues to encourage and inspire me. She is always positive and my sessions are always different and tailor-made to suit me and my goals.

I've been going to the ladies Kick Boxing sessions and trained by Abby for the past 8 weeks now. I initially signed up for the first 6 week classes that started back in Jan through to Feb and have continued with the second block of 6 having become a full member at Niko's Martial Arts Academy. Abby is an amazing Coach and I have loved each and every one of her sessions. She's kind, patient, positive and motivational in every way, and is an inspiration. The way she breaks down and demonstrates each sequence is so good. She comes round to each one of us to see how we do and help us to improve and encourages us throughout, adding and showing modifications if we need them. The ladies kickboxing class has very quickly become the high light of my week, falling in love with the sport but also getting to know and train with amazing women, increasing our fitness together but also benefitting mentally.
Honestly cannot recommend these classes enough.

I joined the ladies kickboxing classes over 8 weeks ago at Niko’s martial arts academy and I have never regretted it once.
Abby’s classes are empowering and also fun at the same time. Abby will break down all the combinations and demonstrate them beforehand, then come round encouraging each and everyone of us and providing constructive feedback where needed to help us to become better and better. No two classes are the same so they are never boring. Abby gives everything to the class and is an amazing informative instructor pushing us to be the best versions of ourselves always with a great smile to go with it.
Long may these classes continue, if you are thinking of joining please do. I have not looked back since I joined, feeling fitter every week.
Keep doing what you do best Abby, thank you for making exercise and martial arts great fun whilst getting shredded. So glad I get to punch and kick as hard as I want. Great stress reliever after a tough day in the office.

I first started training with Abby in January 2023 when I signed up for a 6 week ladies kickboxing course. Due to a year out from any kind of exercise after major surgery on my spine I was very nervous about starting any form of exercise but it was also causing anxiety and very low mood and I knew I needed to change my mindset. Wow did it make such a difference. Everything changed after the first week I became hooked I’d forgotten how it felt when you get that feel good rush after training hard. Instead of finding excuses to avoid exercise I was excited to be going to class. My mood changed completely and I began to feel more positive and motivated.
Abby is a fantastic trainer, she takes time to ensure classes are designed for all levels of fitness and all ages making them fun and challenging for everyone. The atmosphere is friendly and energetic and gives a real feel good vibe and I absolutely love the class!. I’d highly recommend training with Abby she is a lovely person and very professional. She is passionate about her work with you and extremely knowledgeable about nutrition, exercise to recovery from injury, and developing tailored training plans to suit what you want and need.
In short I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Abby has a great understanding when it comes to striking, and does a fantastic job coaching our ladies only kickboxing. She gives a great explanation on everything she’s teaching, Abby is very encouraging always smiling. Ladies love her session.

I have just finished a 4-week stretching class online with Abby. The difference in my flexibility is amazing, and I am looking forward to the next 4 weeks. Her knowledge in her field is outstanding, and I would highly recommend her.
Thank you, Abby.

I look forward to my Saturday morning stretch class with Abby. It’s a great way to start the weekend & is something we all should do but always find an excuse not to. Abby is a great motivator & delivers her class with confidence. I’ve struggled with hip discomfort for some time now & since joining the stretch class weekly I’ve noticed a difference. Let’s keep stretching!!!
- Jo
01.11.2023
I can’t think of a better way to start the weekend… 2 cups of coffee whilst catching up on the week's events followed by 30minutes of relaxed stretching! Abby always greets us with her positive smiling attitude then calmly takes us through another unique routine, leaving us feeling great and ready to face the day! I can highly recommend the session which is definitely helping me with my mobility… I might even touch my toes come Christmas!!

Abby, My goodness! I’m so proud to be a member of your gym. You have been training me for while now . We have grown together. I had a few issues with my knees and neck , but with stretching and exercises you have eliminated the pain. I’m not your youngest gym buddy, but you make me work out, and I thank you for that. I cannot thank you enough for the encouragement you give me.. You are a star and a fabulous trainer. I would recommend that anyone who wants to get fit, or change their lifestyle, then Abby will sort you out.

As someone who has struggled with chronic lower back pain, Abby’s suggested targeted stretches have helped treat the symptoms immediately and consistently.
The stretches get me mobile again in no time and stop me hobbling around.

I’ve been with Abspire for some time now and recently I have had to change the way I train due to some up coming surgery. Abby has adjusted my sessions and together we have adapted from strength/toning training to gentle stretching exercises that still strengthen my core muscles. Abby has been fantastic with her understanding and knowledge and I feel very safe in her hands that I’m getting the best out of my body and preparing it for surgery. Looking forward to post operative training and I’m sure Abby will have just the plan to build me back up at my own pace.

After years of struggling being overweight and unfit, I started doing kickboxing classes back in April. It's been a massive boost to my overall health and mental wellbeing and I now do 5-6 classes a week, but I've still struggled with my diet so weight loss has been really slow (far too much contradictory dietary advice on the internet is not helpful!). Abby very kindly put together a 2-week food plan to help me out, and I've really started to see the weight coming off again! Where I lost only half a stone in two months just exercising, I've lost an additional half stone in just one month from following Abby's plan! I still have some flexibility of exactly what I eat, but I can now tailor my meals more each time - eating more protein and varying the amount of carbs. I would have never thought to add in fasting periods to keep my body's metabolism going, but it seems to be working really well for me! Even with a few 'cheat' meals out, I'm still losing weight because I can adjust the rest of the day/week to accommodate them.
Abby is always so positive and supportive in everything she does - a real cheerleader who genuinely wants to see you to succeed. Thank you for all your help and advice, it's invaluable! x

I have been seeing Abby for over a year now and I cannot recommend her enough, I feel more confident, stronger & healthy and that's down to Abby. Abby is a great listener & has great knowledge in all areas and is helping me achieve my goals in a sensible realistic time frame which I will be able to maintain. Thank you Abby.

I've been going to Abby for some time now she is amazing, i'm feeling so much stronger and my whole body shape has change which feels amazing. Abby has also been trialing a nutrition plan out on me and I have lost an amazing 6.5lb in 4 weeks and feel less bloated and a lot healthier. Abby is also a very kind and helpfully person and always believes I can get to where I want to be with my health and fitness.

I have said it once, and I will say it again, Abby is Amazing! Since my last review, I have continued having weekly sessions with Abby, as well as investing in a nutrition plan. Wow, what a difference! I didn't struggle with the plan (well maybe just the first few days of adjusting to it), but after 4 weeks, the difference for me was amazing. My tummy was flat and no longer bloated at all, my resting heart beat dropped to 57bpm. It has NEVER been this low, 62 was the best I had achieved. On top of all that, I had no premenstrual symptoms. ZERO! No cramps, no bloating, no sore boobs and no debilitating tiredness. It was just amazing, and proved how transformative nutrition can be in our lives. It has reshaped my eating habits for sure. I have since reused the nutrition plan but also find I can bend it to fit my needs when I like. Ten months ago, I began my journey with Abby at about 10st 7lb and a dress size 12. Today, I stand at least a stone lighter, a dress size smaller, and feeling much fitter and healthier. She has quite literally changed my life.

I heard of Abspire fitness through a friend on Facebook.
And seeing her changes and what Abby had done i had a look at her page! and I was over the moon with results that I was seeing.
I wasn’t feeling 100% with myself as my weight has been up and down since having a baby.
I started in the may 2024. My first session I felt welcome. Abby was so smiley and talked me through everything. Abby made me feel like I can do it. And I am worthy.
My results from 5 months ( October 2024) are amazing! Our sessions are hilarious. I smile walking in and smile walking out ( Even tho she’s worked me hard) - Thankyou so much for your hard work, and keeping me going. Keeping me motivated. And keeping me sane.. I feel so much more confident because of Abby. I look forward to coming everytime. I can’t wait to see my results through the rest of the months I keep coming. You are one PT Abby. Your hard work is paying off making everyone else feeling 100% in themselves.
Thank you Reanna xx

Following a recent knee replacement it was time to get fit! I’d seen Abby’s insta page and followed it while I was in recovery. Once given the green light from the consultant I reached out to Abby to start my journey to getting fitter and healthier.
Abby is a great PT who makes every session so enjoyable that I leave each one looking forward to the next. Over the last six weeks, I have lost Centimetres, weight, improved my strength and overall I’m feeling happier and healthier. This is all thanks to Abby and her coaching and training, she is amazing and has encouraged and supported me to love her fitness work outs. Before meeting Abby I’d tried classes, local gyms, fad diets and give up so easily..not this time! Smashing it with Abby. Cheers Abby xx

Honestly! I can’t begin to explain how much my sessions with Abby has changed my life. When I signed up for the first time I was positive I was gonna hate and stop after one week, After meeting Abby for the first time I knew it was going to be totally different than what I could have ever imagined. I started with Abby at a difficult time in my life and honestly I don’t think I would have coped as well without her constant help and support. She is the most understanding, patient and supportive person I’ve ever met. I am the first one to say I had absolutely no clue about health and fitness and thought it would be a chore as I am a bigger gyal! Abby makes it the most enjoyable relaxing and positive experience and has changed my opinion on exercise completely! Not only has Abby given me wonderful advice on fitness and nutrition but also on life! Aswell as finding a great PT I’ve also found a great friend and will never be able to express how grateful I am for her! xxx

For the past four years, I have struggled with a slipped disc in my neck and two in my lower back. I had also really damaged my knee, meaning I was immobile for the majority of this time and had gained about 6 stone. I was constantly in pain, was prescribed strong painkillers (which I was on pretty much all of the time) and was very frustrated with my inability to do the simplest things. I started kickboxing with Abby in January, which I very much enjoyed, however, I was unable to continue after a few weeks due to the pre-existing damage to my knee. After a couple of weeks off, I set up weekly PT sessions with Abby as well as weekly physio sessions to manage my pain / injuries. The first 8 weeks were really tough, I was still struggling to walk and pretty much crawled up and down the stairs! Abby quickly assessed what I was able to do and pushed me in the areas she could, and incorporated the exercises from my physio to help strengthen my core.
Abby has made me feel very secure in myself, and, working 1:1 in her gym has prevented me feeling self consciousness exercising in public.
After my first 16 weeks (bearing in mind I was struggling to walk for the first 8!) I lost 1.5-2 dress sizes (depending on the fit), which was 4 inches from my waist and 1-2 inches from everywhere else. Although my clothes felt a little baggier, I wasn’t expecting the results to be this good! I have also ditched all of my painkillers too! 😁
Now I have finished my physio, I see Abby twice per week and last week I managed to workout with her for 90 minutes straight!! This is the longest I have worked out in over 4 years! I’m exercising a lot at home in between sessions and am focusing on my nutrition too to feel happier and healthier in myself.
Abby has been instrumental in getting this far, and although I have a long road ahead, I’m excited to see my next results. I couldn’t recommend Abby enough to people who are recovering from injuries, looking to lose weight and / or get fit, or maintain the level of fitness you already have.
Thank you Abby xxxx

A year ago I would be lucky to last just half an hour weeding in the garden with lower back pain…but NOW I have just done two full days in the sunshine with little to no pain!! Abby has helped me strengthen my back and core so much and I am so grateful to be able to get my Monty Don on in the garden this year!
Abby is a FANTASTIC trainer! Very knowledgeable! And always welcomes you into her gym with a smile…and I always leave with a smile too! I enjoy my weekly sessions and it’s definitely part of my weekly routine which I look forward to! (I never thought I’d say that lol)
Thank you Abby for always pushing me and giving me a new lease of life in my garden.
Hugs, Sam xoxo

Abby deserves way more than just five stars for her incredible training skills. She is amazing and I am beyond grateful that I decided to embark on this journey with her. When I first started training one on one with her, I was uncertain how I would feel about it. Abby's warm and welcoming personality put me at ease instantly. She is friendly, and motivates and encourages me every step of the way.
Her creative and diverse workouts never fail to impress me, tailored perfectly to help me achieve my goals. Abby is a true expert in her field and her passion shines through in every session. I wholeheartedly recommend Abby to everyone looking to transform their health and fitness. Trust me, you won't regret it!

Working with Abby has been amazing for me. Her personalized approach to fitness has helped me achieve results and also feel so much fitter in myself. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable, but she also genuinely cares about her clients well-being. Each session is challenging yet enjoyable. I highly recommend Abby to anyone :)

I’ve been having 1-1 PT sessions with Abby for a few months now and I can’t believe the difference already. I started when I was 10/11 months postpartum as I wanted to feel stronger after having my son and get confident in my body again whatever that looked like. Things I couldn’t do before or used to struggle with I can do now with ease, physically I feel and am getting stronger. I’m starting to like what I see in the mirror again and it’s thanks to Abby’s 1-1 support and guidance. I really enjoy the sessions as it’s just like catching up with a friend, we natter about all sorts so the sessions fly and it distracts me from the pain of the workout! highly recommend Abby xx

I've been training with Abby for the last 4 months now and am loving every second of it! Abby makes workouts fun whilst also
challenging you to ensure you get the results you want. I train some sessions 1:1 and others 1:2 with a friend - Abby is happy to be flexible with this and will provide us session times that work for us both each week. After informing Abby that l'll be taking part in a
sponsored half marathon later on in the year, she was straight to it with providing tips/ exercises to ensure that my legs are strong and injuries are avoided as much as possible. Working in a gym which is private and feels comfortable, I would 100% recommend training with Abby!

Truly enjoying Abby's boxercise sessions on Wednesday evenings.
I've attended 3 so far and always walk out feeling refreshed and confident. Abby is really lovely and makes boxercise fun!

So glad I have started Boxercise with Abby. Abby's Boxercise class is great fun with a nice group of ladies in her lovely gym. Abby works us hard but in a nice way!
Varied every week and feels like I have had a good workout after 45 minutes. Thanks Abby loving my Fridays with you. X

Decided I needed some motivation to work on my core and target those areas that brisk walking just cannot reach. A colleague recommended Abby to me and I decided (at the age of 52) to be brave and take the plunge
From the start I felt encouraged, motivated and started seeing results fairly quickly. It's great to have a workout specially designed for you and no two sessions are ever the same. I always come out of my workout feeling much better than when I go in.
I also wore a dress at Christmas, which I hadn't worn for quite some time and felt I looked trimmer in it which gave my confidence a boost! I really felt I was the best version of me and an old shoulder injury has virtually disappeared.
I feel confident and motivated to keep going and look forward to achieving more fitness goals this year! Thank you Abby!

Abby is a excellent personal trainer, I have been working with Abby on and off for the past year. A have gained strength, flexibility, learnt new exercies and had fun whilst training.
Abby has tailored the exercises to accomodate my old injuries (my acl and disc buldge). My core strength is a lot stronger, less reliant on my lower back.
I feel so much better!

Abspire Inspires!
Being well into my fifties, unfit and going squidgy around the middle I decided that enough was enough! I started by reforming my diet but knew that this wouldn't make me feel fitter, so I went to visit Abby at Abspire Fitness in her private gym in Longwood. Abby took time quizzing me about what I wanted to achieve and took note of the numerous aches and pains that I 'd managed to acquire since turning 50. Abby also took measurements of my legs, arms, chest and waist to do a before and after comparison. I signed up for 16 sessions which has taken me about 9 weeks to complete. I was never sure what I'd be doing in the next session as Abby mixed things up a lot to keep the process fresh and she has worked me hard (well at least I think so)! The result is that I have lost inches off my waist and am well on the way to turning much of my excess fat to muscle. I feel more confident in myself and my clothes actually fit better!
I've just embarked on another 16 sessions at Abspire as I feel motivated by Abby and my own improvement to keep making progress towards a fitter, stronger and healthier me!
Thank you Abby!!

I started training with Abby at the end of July. I had just covered from Covid, was piling on the weight and doing very little exercise. I definitely wasn't feeling my best. I had Googled and Googled various local gyms but they all looked quite intimidating and I knew that I would probably give up quite easily. My sister had started with Abby a short time before and was really enjoying her fitness sessions. She encouraged me to get in touch with Abby which I did and to be honest it's one of the best things I have done. I had done diet after diet and knew that at aged 55 I needed to change things up if I wanted to try and get a bit more healthy. I go twice a week now and always feel better for it, even on a cold and wet night.
My partner has even joined me now and we spur each other on and when my sister's hours allow, she joins us too! Our blood pressure is a lot lower, our measurements are getting smaller in the right places, our flexibility and suppleness is improving and our stamina is much improved. In addition to all of this, it has definitely enhanced our wellbeing. I am really looking forward to Christmas in the knowledge that once the holiday is over I know that will get back to my fitness sessions and healthy eating.
Thank you, Abby.

I started working with Abby the first week of January 21 having no previous exercise experience at all. I have done two online sessions a week for the last three months and I can honestly say that I’m hooked. Abby makes the sessions so enjoyable, it’s amazing what she comes up with to do with just home equipment. The changes in my body, my health and my mind set are insane, Abby pushes me, motivates me and most importantly supports me and is helping me achieve my goals. I have further asked Abby to create a workout plan for me so that I can also train on my own on the days that I don’t have online sessions, Abby didn’t hesitate in helping me and has created now two 4 week plans for me to follow at home which I have thoroughly enjoyed. Abby, thank you, you have changed my life. I can’t wait to get into the gym with you and see what happens over the next few month, you are an utter pleasure to work with.

26.03.2021
I’ve been training with Abby for a couple of years now. It’s a different routine every session and I’ve completed circuits, free weights, resistance bands, Pilates and core work. Abby will push you and keep you going, workouts are tailored to your ability and are never dull. It’s exactly what I’ve needed to break away from the usual running and machine work at the gym. I have mainly participated in a group session with Abby. It’s a great way to keep each other motivated and it’s so much fun. It’s been a great way to connect with my friends during the pandemic. Abby is flexible with times to meet up and will always do her best to accommodate. She can help with diets, aches and pains, everything is covered. Once you start, you will never want to miss a session. Thanks Abby!

Abby is an amazing trainer and is always supportive and flexible with her sessions. She takes the time to carefully coordinate a workout plan that is tailored to me and my goals. She spends time not only on helping me through the exercises, but educating me on the importance of core strength and how it can help with my overall performance. I have many old injuries caused from sports and old reckless behaviour, but with two sessions a week from Abby, it is rare I feel them in my day to day life anymore. I have also been part of group sessions with Abby and her style of engagement is fantastic. We have had grouos of upto 6 and she still pushes all perfectly and evenly. She has introduced us all to new exercises and stretches that has given us the ability to push further.
I am really glad that I chose Abby to work with. So much so that I quite my gym membership to focus on more sessions both on person and remotely during COVID restrictions.

Excellent trainer. Extremely motivating and tailors the sessions to fitness levels of clients. Encourages you to push on when it would be easy to give up.

I have really enjoyed doing online workouts with Abby over the last few weeks. I expected them to be a little bit easier not having any real equipment at home but Abby really mixed it up for me and I found the workouts both challenging and enjoyable. Every workout was different and focused on different areas using mainly body weight, a band and some small hand weights. I found it really beneficial being able to continue with my training whilst we were in lockdown and It helped both my physical and mental health.

I can’t recommend Abby and Abspire Fitness highly enough! I started online training during lockdown to give me something to do to keep me busy and active. The sessions are very well planned to target different muscle groups and the exercises are varied to keep them interesting. Abby is excellent at motivation so, even though you are not in the gym, you still push yourself to the limit (and know you’ve worked hard the next day!) If you’re looking for an online personal trainer, then look no further! Thanks Abby.
- Paul
13.12.2020
Abby is an accomplished, motivational trainer who from the first evaluation meeting put me in the right mindset to achieve my goals. The sessions with Abby are specifically tailored to my needs and her encouragement, knowledge and positivity make me push myself harder than I knew I could! When we had to change to Zoom sessions I was reluctant but even without the equipment I was still left feeling like I’d had the same great workout. The aches the next day proved that! I would and have highly recommended Abby to anyone who wants to try a personal trainer.
- Carolyn
13.12.2020
The online sessions with Abby were well thought out and challenged me. The sessions progressed as my fitness did.
Abby was also able to make alternations to the session to accommodate a foot injury at the last minute, which helped keep on track ,when I would have otherwise slipped behind.
- Dan
13.12.2020
Thanks so much Abby for all the workouts during lockdown. They made me feel so much more energised every morning we did them. It got me feeling more awake for the rest of the day. Abby would make us work different parts of our body making us enjoy it even more. If anyone wants to start working out I would fully recommend Abspire. Thank you so much for the training
- Harry

Having spent a life playing sport, running and lifting weights I felt I was reasonably fit but Abby was able to highlight my weaker areas and get me working muscles I didn't even know I had. And all done in a very professional, encouraging and friendly manner. I would highly recommend Abspire to anyone looking to get themselves in better shape. Thank you Abby.
- Paul
03.07.2020
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our Lockdown personal training sessions . Abby was prompt for planned sessions and made using the online Zoom App seem very easy. The sessions were pitched at exactly the right level , finding the perfect balance between pushing us on that little bit further each time without making it too difficult. Abby was happy to help out with any difficulties or aches and pains we were experiencing, and kept the sessions fun and engaging throughout. I would not hesitate to recommend Abspire to anyone; young or old, novice or experienced. Thank you Abby for helping us get through this otherwise stressful time.
- Allison
02.07.2020
Thank you very much Abby for the PT sessions. I really enjoyed doing these as Abby knew what she was going to do with us each session. We would alternate each time and work on a different part so we didn’t feel too tired. It got me feeling fitter, stronger and energised for the day and I never felt like I was being pushed to do something that I felt was too difficult. Abby would always make sure we felt okay and not too achey before and during the workouts, and if we did, she would give us a different exercise to do that wasn’t as challenging. I would highly recommend Abspire to anyone who wants to start working out, or to anyone who already does. Thank you again Abby, I really enjoyed training with you!

02.07.2020
I been training with abby in an online group session and individual sessions as I couldn’t make it to the running track during isolation. Despite us being in a group she always made it feel like you were being trained individually by checking on each client personally. Her classes are fun and enjoyable whilst pushing you to the limit at the same time. Even though she’s my sister, I would definitely recommend her to others!

Another great online session with Abby this morning...! Been doing sessions with Abby since lockdown 2-3 times per week... don't be fooled if you think you won't get as good a workout from home ... always feel great afterwards, keeps me motivated with healthy eating ... and helps both my physical and mental wellbeing during these crazy times...! Abby is always a pleasure.

Since starting my workouts in November I have really enjoyed my classes and I was worrying I wouldn't be able to keep my progress going especially when lockdown began but Abby makes sure we stay positive and i enjoy my workouts twice a week. It feels like she's stood right there with me - she keeps me going - praises me when I feel like giving up and tells me I can do it - Even when I feel like I can't - I love the group workout sessions too and enjoyed seining my friends and my sister on face time for the same workout session - Its been so much fun doing those together - Thank you Abby

I am so enjoying still being able to train during lockdown. If I can't go to see Abby at the GYM then Abby can come to me online. Loving being fit at 50. Thank you Abby from Abspire. xxx

5 days into lockdown and I was already enjoying my online PT sessions with Abby. I was so worried I wound take 10 steps back with my fitness especially after working so hard since last September to gain my strength & confidence, but honestly the online sessions are amazing. It feels like she's right there with you willing those last 5 press ups out of you. And I was foolish to think workouts would be easier at home, this girl is on fire and makes sure you always get a good workout. its amazing how many exercises can be done without equipment, I only have a 2 x 3kg weights and the variety each session is great. I've done something new each time. Thanks to Abby and her creative thinking, my fitness isn't suffering during lockdown, and is helping to keep me sane during the crazy time. Thank you xxx

Online sessions with Abspire are helping to keep me fit & sane during lockdown! It feels like we're in the same room as we chat away during workouts. The workouts are always challenging and varied, we use some of my own equipment or items found in the garden. Working online with Abby motivates me to keep going & push that little bit harder. It really is a great service & I'd recommend Abby to anyone x

I came to Abby when I was feeling low in confidence about myself. I felt I needed to get fit and and feel strong physically and mentally. I have tried going to GYMs before but always felt lost with no idea what to do and so I never stuck at it. My sister recommended Abby and since I have started training with I have gained knowledge, inproved my fitness and I come away feeling better after every session. Abby is so friendly and keeps me motivated throughout my journey. I have stuck with it because she welcoming and make every session enjoyable. I'm starting to get compliments from everyone who can see my results and that motivated me more to keep at it. Thank you Abby.

I have been training with Abbyfor about 9 months now and the progress I've seen is unbelievable regarding my strength and motivation, (despite my poor dieting efforts which is all down to me) she is so kind and friendly and is not scared of pushing me to my limits and has brilliant facilities in her home GYM. Due to social distancing concerns at this time, I have tired and an online session with Abby this morning and it worked amazing and would recommend to anyone, it is easy and still feel motivated from the comfort of my home, which is hard to do normally when you are exercising alone. I'm loving my sessions at Abspire and would recommend to anyone who doesn't feel comfortable with visiting a public gym or want a more personal experience working out. I am excited to carry on with my online sessions with Abby and can't wait get back in her GYM when all is well!

Abby is fantastic, she motivates and encourages you. Having back problems I was a bit sceptical about training, but she tailored my sessions to strengthen my core and gave me exercises to help my back, it has improved a lot and I am starting to feel fitter and more toned now. I would definitely recommend Abspire she is young, friendly, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. I really enjoy my training sessions with Abby.

Abby is so great at getting the best out of me, she is professional, encouraging and keeps every session fresh by tailoring to the individual client. She has worked with my strenghs and improved my weaknesses by making me believe in myself. I have started to notice my body changing shape and as I approach 50 I will bw marching forward with a new found body confidence and that I am the best version of me. I can't recommend Abspire Enough.
Thank you Abby xxx

Before I contacted Abby I was in an exercise rut, I tried every fitness going, Zumba, swimming, running, tennis, spinning with each activity there was something missing - I needed someone to push & encourage me to try that bit harder!
My sessions with Abby are at a time convenient to me, in a well presented and equipped personal gym!
The workouts are varied and constantly challenging, Abby really knows her stuff and makes sure I get the most out of each session.
Abby is extremely easy to train with, she always sees the positive in everything & her motivation keeps me going.
I really enjoy our sessions and I know I'm getting stronger with every visit! Weather you're contemplating a change of exercise, increasing your fitness or struggling with an injury Abby with tailor a programme for you, I Wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

Well where do I start!!
Abby has helped change my life around. I have been going to Abspire now for the last 3 months, before I started my PT sessions I was lazy, eating rubbish and I had lost all healthy lifestyle motivation (I hated exercise!!!) I'm now the opposite and I love exercise. I can honestly say hands down she's the best PT I've ever been to. Every session I have is different and always so thoroughly thought out. The professionalism, class and personal nature of each session is Phenomenal. Abby always has the biggest smile on her face no matter if its 7am in the morning or 7pm at night. She is always so motivating and kind. Her gym is second to non with the best equipment that is cleaned between clients.i have recommended Abby to a few of my friends which have all come back and thanked me for recommending her which speaks volumes. Abby what you do and your service you provide is something you should be very proud of! I'm afraid you are stuck with me now!!

"I have a bad back so Abby covered the session specifically for me and my needs. Abby not only told me how to do an exercise, she also demonstrated and told me what the exercise was workingand how it would help me, which developed my understanding and knowledge. I will definitely be using Abby again and would recommend her to anyone."

"It is difficult not to repeat the the same words of praise given by some of Abby's other clients but, at the risk of being repetitive, Abby has been a genuine inspiration to me. Not only is she a lovely person, but her passion to help others achieve better fitness and health through a mindful, personalised programme is very clear. Yes, she pushes you, yes she makes you ache in places that you didn't know existed and yes you have to put some concerted effort in but the rewards are ABSolutely worth it! So much so, that I am signing up to another 8 week programme starting on January 7th 2019. Thank you soooo much, Abby: I am coming back for more!:-) x"

"Abby listened to what I wanted to get out of my training sessions and then tailored a program that I both enjoyed and more importantly was actually achievable. I was so pleased with the results after the 8 weeks that I went to Abspire that I have booked another block of sessions. I never thought I’d enjoy exercising quite so much!"

"Abby was friendly and gave clear instructions and kept me motivated throughout, she was able to give me tips on how to improve - specific to me. I really enjoyed the boxing element which was broken down by lunges and squats to mix it up. I found the resistant part good and when I struggled Abby kept me going! Lastly the shoulder exercise was fab for myself & loved the strength part!!"

"I have recently completed an eight week , sixteen session course with Abby and I cannot recommend Abspire fitness enough. I am quickly approaching my fifties and thought I was fairly fit, running two or three times weekly, however I was starting to believe that nothing was going to stop the inevitable stubborn middle age spread....how wrong I was! In just eight weeks I have lost over 35cm from my arms, legs , waist, hip and chest measurements!
During our initial session Abby discussed my goals and then tailored a specific eight week plan to enable me to progress towards my desired outcomes. The workouts were tough, but through lots of encouragement and motivation ( and a fair bit of giggling) Abby got me through each and every session. This was made easier by the fact that Abby is such a fantastic person to work with... she is both professional and friendly, and it is clear to see from her own physique that she knows exactly how to get super fit!
Abby has created a fabulous gym , perfect for one to one or small group sessions. I sure that Abspire will go from strength to strength and I can thoroughly recommend it to anyone, wherever you are on your fitness journey. If you are thinking about it, just give it a go!
Thank you Abby you are totally inspiring!"

"Wow what an amazing 8 weeks I've had with Abby.
Abby has given me the motivation and brought back my love of excersize, over the years I have had a few injuries (old and new) these have stopped me doing excersize as it became to painful and unenjoyable which made me loose confidence in everyway, Abby has been fantastic, with the knowledge Abby has behind her she has shown me a completely different way to excersize with and around my injuries and the difference is amazing. Abby supports, encourages, pushes you to become who you want to be. I really couldn't recommend Abby any higher as she is an amazing PT and one that will help me change my life. Thanks Abby for all you have done and all that we still have to do, looking forward to many more sessions with you xx"

"Abby is without doubt a confident tutor who is passionate about PT. Her method is considerate to all & easy to understand. She clearly explains which part of our bodies the exercises are targeting, how we should be feeling & what the benefits will be for us in the future. Everyone is totally at ease under Abbys instruction, her judgment is trusted & demonstrates a genuine understanding towards the different levels of her students. those who wish to remain at the same level, they feel most comfortable with support & those who wish to progress are inspired by her commitment. Abby is a delightful young lady who is exceptionally knowledgeable. Questions are answered with confidence & she obviously enjoys sharing her expertise with other. For these reasons I would truly recommend to all."
