Laura Blissett

After a couple of years of trying to kid myself breathing in more and more when I looked at myself in the mirror, I joined the gym to try and lose weight and increase my stamina. I was also getting married in 6 months and did not want to look like a big white snowball waddeling down the aisle! However, being someone who has struggled to lose weight in the past and not particularly enjoyed going to the gym, got bored very quickly.

I arranged to have a trial session with Sean after my Husband-to-be had a couple of sessions with him and raved about how good he was. I was nervous as had never been to a Personal Trainer before, but Sean made me feel instantly at ease. After enjoying the trial session, I booked more sessions with Sean.

Each session was never the same and there was a good mix of cardio and mats work/weights. We also ventured outside the gym on a couple of occasions making a nice change. Sean is always very encouraging throughout the sessions and tells you how well you are getting on. The nutritional advice was very good as well. Within about 2 weeks I could see I difference in the mirror and my fitness at netball, and after 4 months of seeing Sean, I had reached my target weight loss of just over 9lbs and a dress size. However, it was not just the weight loss I was impressed with, but how much more toned I was looking. On my wedding day, I had a lot of compliments about how much weight I had lost.
