Gavin Lenk-Smith

By

I had the pleasure of being introduced to Allie in early January 2016 as part of the £’s for Lb’s Watford Peace Hospice Weight Loss Challenge Group. In the following 12 weeks, with Allie’s constant and brilliant guidance, advice, time, knowledge, encouragement and skill I went on to lose 3 stone and 2 1/2 lbs.

Her knowledge is outstanding and she helps make what can seem like a daunting subject very user friendly and produces superb results with people of all ages and levels of ability, focussing on and improving health, fitness and performance. Honestly, I cannot thank her enough. Gavin

What our clients say

  • After two babies and hitting a rut with my own attempts at getting fit and weight loss, I decided to look at PT options. Being a little reluctant at the thought of the cost and being bossed around by a stereotypical gym buff, I was hugely relieved when I met Allie. Her obvious knowledge of health and fitness, immediate enthusiasm (and reasonable rates) made me at ease and look forward to starting. Allie worked with me to set stretching but realistic goals and helped make sensible and achievable lifestyle changes (so no crazy fad diets and I can still eat chocolate) in order to understand not just my own but the whole family’s food and exercise habits. Through Allies enthusiasm, motivation and mixing up the exercise (from kick boxing to running to weights) I have amazingly started enjoying exercise, working out for fun rather than as a chore.
    So. The bottom line… In less than 5 months Allie has helped me lose 8kg(!) and two dress sizes(!) but more importantly I feel healthier and happier in myself. Awesome! Thanks Allie! Would I recommend her? YES!

  • I met Allie earlier in 2016 and she has single handedly changed my life. OK so a bit of an exaggeration but she is thorough and professional, funny when needed and exacting when it comes to training plans and execution. Allie got me from being able to suffer a 10km run to look forward to running and complete my first half marathon in 4 months. That's 4 months worth of training not 4 months to complete the 21.1km. And next year I'm looking forward to further improvements in my performance and more importantly to enjoy training. Thanks, you are fab.

  • I started buggy fit classes about 3 weeks ago and haven't looked back. It was very daunting getting back into fitness after having a baby but Allie is lovely and makes you feel relaxed and at ease straight away. The exercises are well tailored to meet your individual needs to ensure that you feel comfortable and able to do the exercises yet also challenged. It's been wonderful to have another activity that I can do with my little one and it's a great way to meet more mums. Would 100% recommend these classes!

  • I have never been one to be either promoting or writing reviews about aperson or a group of people but definitely everyone out there needs to know where you can go to achieve your goals as far as being healthy .Allie is brilliant

  • I asked for Allies help back in June 2015 as my fad diets were not working and I needed some nutritional advice alongside a fitness program as I considered myself to be very unfit and Allie offered this. (more…)
