“Beth uses her very own holistic approach to personal training. She delivers a varied, safe and fun program of strength training which has been amazing for me as a beginner and I see myself now building the next layer with her on this brilliant foundation. What makes Beth special is her amazing observational skill - both in movement ‘form’ and also picking up on different things which would specifically benefit my health.
I have noticed my healthy habits have increased seemingly effortlessly with her intelligent suggestions so that I feel that I get extra benefit from personal training even between sessions.
She has been a very powerful motivator and I have realised that she has been responsible for a shift in my attitude about how to take better care of myself” - Julia, 2023
I started working with Bethan about four months after having my first baby and it has been a really vital, positive journey for me. When we started we focused on post-partum recovery and she was brilliantly understanding, tailoring everything to the healing and strengthening needed at that time. But now, a year and a half later, we have stepped it up; I’m stronger than I’ve ever been; lifting big weights, and even doing (whisper it) burpees. She’s not only transformed my body but also been a source of confidence and reassurance along the way. I couldn’t recommend her more. Rachel, 2023
“I began working with Beth 7 months ago and she has completely transformed the way I feel about my body and exercise in general. I have a busy and often highly pressured job in the NHS and have three year old twins. The thought of exercise on top of this made me shudder, but after the first covid wave I realised I had to do something about my fitness levels and overall physical health. Beth is not only very skilled at identifying how to physically work with where you are at, she meets you emotionally too- I have felt so held and supported by her gentle and encouraging approach to fitness - she puts the ‘personal’ in personal training! The visual results have kind of been inconsequential for me (I am back to my pre-twin jeans which I NEVER thought would happen) it’s the way I feel about myself that has been the biggest change- making time for me and my body and enjoying it! Also being able to keep up with three year old twins and not have creaking knees and aching joints is a bonus. I cannot recommend Beth highly enough. ps I have never ever set foot in a gym- truth! So I was coming at this from a zero level of fitness and strength!.” — Alex, 2021
“I could not recommend Beth more highly; she has been vital in getting me back to fitness after the birth of my first child. I started training with Beth when my son was about three months old. I have always enjoyed running but stopped when I was pregnant. I was excited about starting again but my first attempt post pregnancy was eye opening – my body just didn’t work the way that it used to. My confidence was knocked and I just couldn’t see how I could possibly get fit again when every attempt at exercise made me feel so awful. I honestly think I would have given up if I hadn’t found Beth. Her extensive knowledge and encouragement has helped me get back to running safely and I no longer feel like my whole body is going to fall apart the minute I put my trainers on! Training with Beth has had so many benefits. I have seen physical results as the baby weight shifted and I can fit into pre-pregnancy clothes again. I have become much stronger and able to contend with the heavy lifting demands that having a child brings. Our sessions have also been vital for my wellbeing. Beth has been able to find a path to fitness for me at exactly the right pace. Finding out that I wouldn’t immediately be able to exercise like I used to was hard but Beth has made sure that I have always progressed forward. Beth is very perceptive and adaptable to how you may be feeling knowing exactly the right level of challenge to help you get results whilst also ensuring that you are having a good time. My attitude to exercise has changed as I have enjoyed our strength training sessions so much (something I was never interested in before). Training with Beth really is lots of fun, the name ‘Happy PT’ fits as this really is how you feel after every single session. Thank you Beth!” - Angie 2021
“I've seen massive changes in my physical strength, mental strength and fitness in the year since I've been with Beth. The classes are challenging but achievable with scope to go further or parr things back. Her enthusiasm for her clients is a massive part of why she is so amazing, giving you the confidence to go beyond what you ever thought you were capable of. If you are in need of a PT who is there for YOU to make YOU stronger, fitter and more, then Beth @ the Happy PT is the one. I feel lucky to have found her in my 40's when physical and mental strength is so important to my well being.” — Charlotte, 2021
“As a football referee I always thought my fitness levels were pretty good, but when I did a trial run for a national FA fitness test to get to the next level in my career, I barely made it quarter of the way through before I had to drop out. Feeling deflated and despondent, I approached Beth for some advice. What I got in return was way more than I bargained for, and genuinely life-changing. Not only did Beth draw me up a training plan that felt ambitious yet achievable, she provided dietary advice, gave me confidence, encouraged me, and commiserated with me about injuries over the next five months leading up to the real-life test. Beth was then one of the first people I shouted down the phone at when I passed at the first time of asking. I then went into the new football season in my late 30’s feeling fitter than I had for years! Across one spring and summer period, Beth’s approach completely changed my outlook. I began enjoying running and fitness training for the first time in my life. Her diligent programme, which she designed specifically for the kind of test I was due to take, was the single most important factor in helping me achieve something I thought I couldn’t do. I’ve seen first hand how Beth goes above and beyond in order to help the people she works with and I’ve happily recommended her to many others who are looking to hit specific goals or improve their overall fitness. I couldn’t have achieved my ambitions without her.” — Ali, London FA Referee, 2020.
“Beth is brilliant; her workouts are fun, challenging, responsive and realistic. We’ve worked out together for over a year and I always look forward to our sessions. She knows how far to challenge me, but also when to pull back when I’m at risk of over doing it. I have a tendency to push myself unwisely, which has lead to injury. Since I’ve been working out with Beth, I haven’t been to my physio once. She’s taught me how to tweak my exercise so I’m always safe. As if Beth wasn’t a fantastic enough trainer already, her expertise has really shone during my pregnancy. It’s been a difficult 9 months and Beth has been unwavering helpful, supportive, knowledgable and insightful. Our workouts are still appropriately challenging, keeping me fit and well. I’m confident that I’ll recover quickly and I’ll be back to my previous level of fitness when after I’ve had the baby. I’m excited to return to working out together when I’ve recovered from my c-section. I can not recommend Beth enough, regardless of whether you want to stay fit while pregnant, return to exercise post baby, or you just looking for a PT. She is wonderful, worth every penny and deserving of all the praise.” - Rosa 2021
“Signing up to Beth’s weekly class is one of the best things I’ve done! She makes the class fun and gives alternative moves depending on your fitness level or ability. After having two children, I was diagnosed with Diastasis Recti (DR) which is very common after pregnancy. Beth always includes DR exercises in the class which I follow. It has really helped me to feel more confident about my body and I can finally fit back in some of my pre-pregnancy clothes!
I would really recommend Beth to anyone looking to improve their fitness and have fun too!” - Claire, 2021
“In the last year, I’ve gone from someone who rarely / occasionally exercised, to someone who exercises 5 times a week!! I’ve lost a total of 12 inches from my body. My cardio fitness has improved from 35 to 40 (not sure what that means, but that’s what my Fitbit says!) My resting heart rate has gone from 71 to 59! And I’ve gone from running 5km in 42 minutes to 37 minutes! Huge personal achievements. Thank Beth for being so patient and encouraging”. Cath, 2022
“Beth has a remarkable talent for keeping exercise interesting. She seems to know an almost infinite number of variations so working out with her is always challenging (in a good way) and fun. I have total trust in her expertise and I’ve really seen the results.” — Izzy, 2021
“I started to work with Beth last summer in the midst of Lockdown 1. I was restless and lethargic all at once, and daily exercise was fast becoming a way to still and calm my body and mind. But daily yoga and a half hearted join in with Joe and my less than enthusiastic kids, was no longer cutting it. I decided to take advantage of this new schedule I found myself in, and commit to weekly sessions with Beth. Truthfully, I probably wouldn't have done this, had we not been under forced house arrest. I have always been active, but I am no gym bunny. I have never lifted anything, except the weight of my children and I had serious doubts that I could hold in the plank for longer than 3 seconds. I have been plagued with back issues since the tender age of 18, and I was VERY cautious about what I felt my body could and couldn't do. So with some trepidation I entered my first session with my 1kgs and a tatty yoga mat. I also made the rookie error of telling Beth, I couldn't do a press up. Her eyes lit with challenge and I knew I was doomed! What I wasn't expecting after that first session, was the rush of endorphins and giddy power I felt, about finally taking proactive steps to make my body strong and powerful. I do not say this lightly, Beth has changed my life and attitude to my body. Almost a year later, I commit to her sessions twice a week, once on a Wednesday zoom class (which is excellent), and once on a Friday solo session. My 1kgs now sit in the corner as I powerfully swing 10kg and lift double that in a deadlift! I still sweat and curse her the whole way through, but I NEVER EVER regret a session. She goes above and beyond too curate a program for the individual and she is a constant support, knowing instinctively what my body can do and what it needs, she also sets my routines around my menstrual cycle, which has been a revelation. I still hate press ups, but at least I hate them whilst actually being able to do them, and I can plank for 2mins! I cannot recommend Beth enough, she’s patient, dedicated, supportive and so kind. Thanks for making me a Superhero Beth, you are a true Wonder Woman.” — Imogen, 2021
“I’ve been working out with Happy PT regularly for 3 months. Her classes are my absolute favourite with lots of variety and options that keep me motivated. Beth is hugely knowledgeable and goes out of her way to tailor workouts to meet what we’re after. Most importantly, she’s so much fun to work out with, and that keeps me at it and helps me see the results I want.” — Kate, 2021
“I always found the idea of personal training a little intimidating so was interested when a friend recommended Beth's sessions to me. I have been delighted to find them both enjoyable and life changing.
Beth brings to sessions a lovely balance of being friendly and approachable while also being hugely knowledgeable and skilled in tailoring sessions to my specific needs. She offers a perfect balance of nudging me encouragingly outside of my comfort zone but at a pace that feels manageable and sustainable. Having worked with her for a number of months I am delighted to see a huge difference in my strength, stamina and general level of fitness. Thank you so much Beth!” - Anna 2021
“I find exercise so boring and have 40yrs worth of excuses for avoiding it. But Beth’s kind, patient nature mixed with her knowledge and skill has toned even this stubborn body.
My love for exercise is still work in progress but seeing the benefits develop in front of my eyes has made me accept it into my weekly routine!
Beth also takes the time to listen to how your body reacts to a session. She has pinpointed some posture and structural issues that I would never have investigated without her dedicated research.” - Karla, 2021
