I have been training with Heike for 5 years, I did loads of research and Heike’s qualifications and experience stood out from the crowd. I have never looked back and we train twice a week, she has not only helped me stay fit and healthy but the regular PT courses have certainly kept me sane throughout lock down. After 9 hours on conference calls a session completely resets me! We have managed to do the training via WhatsApp and its worked perfectly. Her shouting is less intense this way too! That’s a joke, she is patient and kind, but there is equally no messing! Heike is very in tune to the female body, energy levels at different times of the month and any injuries. She takes her role very seriously, but is motivation and gets results. Over the years we have learnt what I prefer doing ( moan less about) and what works for my body, I feel she has got the perfect balance and time fly’s, plus I get the results. In summary, Heike is a super trainer, very professional, effective and fun too!

I’ve been training with Heike for almost 4 years and, without doubt, she has helped me to positively transform my lifestyle.  I am fitter and healthier now than I have ever been and have really learned to love exercise!  She encourages me to push the boundaries in a way that works for me and brings great knowledge and helpful techniques.  On top of this, she is a great person - always bringing a sense of fun and energy to the sessions and most importantly has taught me to ‘feel the burn, and embrace the burn’ :-)

A few years ago, after much research, I bought a Power Plate to improve my core strength and found a professional Power Plate trainer as I continually had back problems.  But she retired so I needed to find someone else.  Enter Heike.  It is now 3 years she has been training me, and more recently my wife after a back operation.  Although, for me, the Power Plate plays an important role in my training, Heike has widened the scope to cover all key muscle groups. Heike is a knowledgable and professional trainer who understands your capabilities but works to your limits.  Now I have hardly ever have any back issues and my stamina has improved considerably, and my wife is fitter and more confident than she has been for many years.

I was looking for a personal trainer who would help me to achieve my goals of building my upper body and core strength. Heike was a perfect support and mentor who gently encouraged me to develop at a pace that suited me. Within a relatively short time I had substantially improved my stamina and strength.

From the very first time I met Heike she understood exactly what I wanted to achieve. We have worked together for the last six months and I have loved every session. Heike mixed things up to make sure it was not the same thing every time which I thoroughly enjoyed. I have now achieved my goal weight and feel more confident and focused to carry on going to the gym on my own. I have also gained a friend in Heike and I know if I need a quick spurt of motivation she will be right there ready to push me. If I could see her forever I would. Thank you so much Heike.

I have been working with Heike for 6 months and have thoroughly enjoyed every session. On first meeting she listened carefully to my requirements and put together an interesting programme that we work on together, but is also clear and easy enough for me to carry out alone between sessions. Being a 40+ mother of two I was anxious to find someone to work with who would understand my needs, Heike is lovely and does exactly that! I am so pleased with  the progress I have made in just 6 months, Heike carries out regular assessments so progress can be measured, and constantly adjusts routines; adding new exercises and modifying others to make them harder. I am looking forward to seeing what another 6 months will bring! Thank you Heike :-)

We needed to improve our fitness levels to counter medical problems we both were both experiencing. Like everyone else we had tried and failed a number of exercise programmes over the years. Having had poor experiences of gyms and the support delivered by their staff, we felt we needed something which was tailored towards us and which we could fit into our busy lives. Heike was really friendly and immediately made us feel relaxed. She assessed our fitness levels, and started us on a gentle programme of walking and core stability exercises as well as helping us address our diets with sensible nutritional information. As our fitness levels improved we looked for a goal which we could work towards and decided on the completion of a five mile run. Having never run before we started a short programme which quickly had us running for around 30 minutes within only 8 weeks. We completed the Alsager 5 road race in around 1 hour, a huge achievement for us both. Heike was a fantastic support, motivating us to keep training with regular phone calls and emails when we couldn't meet up. She has worked hard to find a programme which we can fit into our lives and which is enjoyable. It has been amazing to see how quickly our fitness levels have developed, as well as seeing increases to our energy levels and general health.

Having a personal trainer was not something I'd given much thought prior to having a baby. In the months that followed giving birth, I was anxious to get back into my old gym and exercise routine but found that actually getting to the gym was not as easy as it once was since I had a young child. Heike was a God send! Being able to set up training times that were convenient and flexible was great. I didn't have to leave home to get the workout I wanted, she came to me and was always understanding when our training times had to be rearranged. Heike was very thorough, the first couple of visits she took time to explain what we would be doing, that I was eating the right things, getting enough fluids and so on. She also did routine fitness assessments which were brilliant ways to measure any progress I was making and to see what needed improvement. I have found the training very beneficial as it has helped me gain my fitness level and has been a wonderful stress alleviator. Many thanks to Heike who always made the workouts challenging, at the same time being encouraging and fun.

Re: Nutrition and Weight Management Course I had the privilege of doing the course with Mrs Heike Chapman, for a period of 12 weeks. I very much enjoyed the course as it had sensible and achievable goals. I am not much of a diet believer as they are difficult to maintain for a long time (I have dieted twice in my life and each time I only lasted less than 3 weeks!!!). With the course I have just done, I needed to lose some weight and keep it off as I wanted to look fabulous in my wedding dress, what was more important was to lose some weight while I get fit and firmer. As a doctor, the course helped me have a good healthy diet which fitted very well with a busy and on the go lifestyle, but also helped get more organised by encouraging me to fit in an exercise regime. As a result, not only was I able to lose some weight in a reasonable way and slowly but it helped me get motivated and have regular exercise which is now very much part of my lifestyle. It worked for me because it was a change of lifestyle rather than just starving me to lose weight. The most valuable feature was Mrs Chapman who was very encouraging especially in the first few weeks when it was difficult to convince to fit some regular routine in my heavy schedule. She remained very patient and persistent and yet not intrusive, she did not insist on any particular method but helped work around my schedule in many ways. The regime was tailored to my lifestyle and that's why I believed it worked. Mrs Chapman was very understanding and saw me through the whole course even if it ended up taking 12 weeks instead of 8 weeks. In the end, not only did I look great on my wedding, but I also feel great and the exercise and healthy eating keep me fit and a healthy weight is easy to maintain. I would definitely recommend the course, but I believe having a great and patient trainer helps mostly.
