  I joined Dottie’s fitness program for a four months last year with the goal of getting stronger and learn how to create discipline in my workouts. She was an absolute legend! Not only are the training plans personalised, she really makes sure they can be integrated to your daily life. The weekly catch-ups are always motivating and full of laughs (and dogs - big plus if you ask me). A few months on without her I can say that her training has real long lasting effects as I now am still motivated to move my body can craft my own workouts on the go. She is a great coach and I can highly recommend her for anyone who just needs that extra push of motivation and accountability to start seeing great results!

  When I first went to Dottie I was very lost and completely lacked any knowledge on how to change my diet and manage my workout routine. I felt very low and thought I wanted to 'loose weight' and constantly looked down on myself and compared myself to others. Since working with Dottie, I have had a complete change in mindset and she has given me the confidence I need to understand the meanings behind things and how to manage it. I can now comfortably plan my own workout routine and understand why I do certain things. I can also take control of what i'm putting in my body with out going on a 'diet' or cutting things out, which works really well for me. I could not recommend Dottie enough, she is compassionate and really cares about you and uses her extensive knowledge to work around your lifestyle - even when life throws everything at you Dottie helps navigate around it. If you are looking for some guidance in life, fitness, food, etc Dottie is your gal!!

  I contacted Dottie to talk about my eating habits and understand triggers of binging more. I’ve always gone to the gym lots and I understand food and macros but have never been able to intuitively eat and be more consistent. I would have a few months of binging and then going on an aggressive calorie deficit to cancel it out which wasn’t sustainable. The way Dottie has worked with me has not made it feel like I’m on a ‘diet’ and nothing has felt like it’s taken loads of will power to achieve. She implements small changes and helps you understand the reason behind why you may snack etc and clever ways to undo the habits. I’ve now finished my time with Dottie and for the first time ever it’s not felt like I’m doing something until I hit a goal and then I completely stop. This is more a lifestyle change and I’m not worried that I’ll go off the rails without her because I have confidence in what she has taught me. It makes me think ‘why is everyone not told this it’s so much easier than you think!’ She’s always a joy to chat to and is very understanding and sympathetic to the fact that life goes on and not every day will be ideal in terms of nutrition but that’s fine and we keep going. It’s changed my attitude towards ‘bad’ foods, I don’t feel guilty when I eat them anymore. Dottie helped me navigate a busy summer with 6 wedding weekends and a couple of holidays and still make progress in the right direction. She’s a legend and I love her!

  Dottie has helped me for 7 weeks this summer to work on my strength & conditioning. As a triathlete and runner this is something I have, guilty, not made enough time for. I also had my wedding at the end of the 7 weeks, so there wasn’t a better time to motivate myself and work on this aspect of my training. The workouts she set me focused on building my upper body and core. I ended up enjoying my workouts so much, that I have decided I want to continue with Dottie on a regular basis. She is such a joy to work with; knowledgeable, caring, motivating and so generous with her time. Even as a virtual client, she was always at the end of the phone answering all my silly questions! The workouts were tough (which is want I needed, to challenge myself) but super rewarding. I have felt stronger running, been told I look more toned (whoop!) and I have also felt better for tweaking my diet, realising that there are more alternatives out there that are more nutritional. Learning about food swapping, protein intake and the value of loading your plate with fruit & veg, might seem obvious to a triathlete like myself but I have enjoyed leaning new things about what this means & how to get into better habits over time. A huge thank you to you Dottie, you are one of a kind in your field of work and I couldn’t recommend Dottie enough. I am excited to see what and where our journey goes over the next few months! A huge hug and thanks again :)

  I came to Dottie at the start of the year as I had just started a new touring job with a completely different schedule and felt completely out of whack with my fitness and nutrition. She has been nothing short of a miracle worker. Not only giving me personally tailored workouts to fit around my hectic lifestyle, but helping me with specific meal plans for whatever my situation happened to be that week (some weeks I barely had a microwave!) Dottie has made me feel in control again and I could not recommend her enough. Total hero! X

  When I say Dottie has changed my life and I’ll never not have her as my coach, I am not exaggerating. I started with her 9 weeks ago and the difference I have seen in my training is actually life changing. I’ve trained consistently 5 x a week, EVEN on my period - not because she makes me, because I want to. I started with her to get consistency but the benefits are so much more than that. I was having anxiety attacks every other week before meeting Dottie, I haven’t had one since. I booked a spontaneous Beach holiday and didn’t panic about wearing a bikini because I love the way my body looks now and I can eat what I want with no guilt. I’m totally obsessed with you Dottie, never stop doing this job!!

  Dottie is a fantastic personal trainer. I’m someone who hated the idea of working out but I now look forward to my sessions with Dottie & am much more motivated to exercise in between. Having the exercise tailored to me & being pushed just the right amount also means I’ve seen huge improvements.

  I've been training with Dottie for 5 months now, and have loved every session. Dottie's approach is so well-rounded; fitness, strength, and accountability all covered. And she manages to lead with kindness, empathy, and fun every time. I leave every session feeling better about where I'm at, and am always grinning ear to ear. Thank you, Dottie! Highly recommend!

  I started working with Dottie after trying to get back into exercise and routine for a few months by myself and struggling. She was a breath of fresh air, such a positive energy and clearly brilliant at what she does. I managed to get into a solid routine, signed up for my first half marathon in 5 years, felt emotionally and mentally a lot better and got a better bum out of it as a bonus. I recommend Dottie to friends and anyone else for a good coach.
