Testimonials

"I have been training with Grace for just over a year now. When I started weekly personal training sessions with Grace, I had recently recovered from a back injury and was anxious about getting back into the gym. Grace put time and effort into ensuring she understood what motivates me, what my goals are and what pace works best for me. She has demonstrated a great knowledge of technique and continues to work with me to ensure I push myself whilst ensuring I avoid any injury. Over the last year, I have made noticeable progress, hit multiple milestones and continue to gain strength, stability and confidence every week - this is in no small part due to my regular sessions with Grace. I cannot recommend Grace enough - she is adaptable, attentive, creative and encouraging."

"I have been working out with Grace Burt as my personal trainer at Fitness First in Bath once a week since June 2019. When I first started I had been referred by my physiotherapist in order to continue and improve upon the work she had done to help me with my multiple sclerosis. Grace is a very gentle and empathetic person and since the outset has always been a very supportive and encouraging personal trainer, whilst always helping me to push myself further than I think I can go within safe limits. I have seen dramatic improvements in my range of mobility since starting with Grace and I really enjoy our sessions. She is a lovely person and always gives great personal attention. Grace is always very positive and I have never felt judged by her. I would highly recommend her to any prospective client."

"As I moved to Bath in September, I was looking for a personal trainer to help me get used to the new environment. Grace has been the perfect choice for me as her easy-going ways make everything seem achievable and I never felt discouraged to try something out of my comfort zone. I get easily bored and I love it how she's always challenging me with new exercises; it helps keep my motivation levels up which is very important these days. Training with Grace has been rewarding overall; I can now do push-up and pull-ups like I couldn't even imagine a few months back. If I ever have to move away I intend to keep training with her even if it'll be online only. She is great!"

"Working with Grace on my fitness has been fantastic! I started training with her to regain my mobility and balance after I lost all my fitness from a head injury. I was unable to achieve basic movements without injuring myself or lose balance altogether, and I no longer had the confidence that my body could move properly. When I started training with Grace, I learned to do many dynamic movements, and progressed so much within a very short period of time. With every session, she paid attention to my performance and clearly explained every step of the way, making me understand my body in a way I didn't before. She's very attentive and knowledgeable, but also really enthusiastic and a pleasure to be around. She makes every session challenging, though still extremely enjoyable, without fail! Thanks to Grace and her training, I can now move confidently and perform movements which I could never have after my accident, and feel stronger and better than ever. I have learned and progressed so much because of her, and I would recommend Grace in a heartbeat!"

"I was unable to do a Bodypump class for two years because of an injury, after eight one to one sessions with Grace she was able to coach me back to a point where I could rejoin. Her patience and carefully crafted sessions were just what I needed."

"I have been working with Grace for a year now, she has help me in my preparation for surgery and aided in my recovery. Grace is encouraging, professional, and is very knowledgable about training with injuries. Everything is tailored to my needs and she always has an alternative if there is something I cannot do. I feel very comfortable with Grace and trust her completely with my training, and thoroughly recommend her."

"It's safe to say that Grace is the main reason that my outlook on exercise is changing for the better! I am by no means someone who enjoys exercise and the thought of attending a gym gave me really bad anxiety. However, I find myself looking forward to our session and the gym has become significantly less scary/anxiety inducing. Grace's knowledge and experience enables her to come up with creative ways to make our sessions fun, fit to my ability level, and not exacerbate any health conditions. Her positivity and belief that you can do something is infectious and I come away from every session feeling a sense of empowerment and accomplishment. I am forever grateful for everything she has done and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a Personal Trainer!"

"I had seen Grace around the gym working with Personal Training clients. She always had a smile and more often than not, so did those she was working with. I wanted to work with someone who was relaxed and confident, so that our sessions would be full of learning as well as good fun. My hunch was that would be Grace! When we started training, I was stuck in a rut with my workouts. I now feel as if I have an amazing repertoire of exercises that allow me to make every session a new experience. Grace manages to hold it all lightly, and yet give very clear, precise instruction and correction. This means she is able to tell me what to do without it feeling as if I am being criticised - not an easy feat! Training with Grace has meant I work out regularly, which has enabled me to overcome my chronic knee injury and play competitive hockey each week. Most importantly, Grace has given me a way of constructing my own sessions, as well as a repertoire of exercise, that keeps it enjoyable, as well as impactful. I no longer see myself as novice, but as a fully fledged member - working out regularly is part of who I am. It has also reminded me of the joy of learning and mastering new things, and the value of an excellent coach. My original hunch turnout to be true - Grace's natural, easy style make every session enjoyable, even when we are working hard. She have a depth of knowledge, but always put what I am looking for first. Thank you for making working out part of who I am, and all the possibilities that a strong, healthy body brings."

"After having my first child, I lost my way with fitness and felt lost and scared to go back to the gym. Since working with Grace, I’ve regained my confidence and enjoyment of fitness. I’m much more confident and surprise myself in the challenges and exercises I now can and enjoy doing. I would never have expected to love box jumps when we first started! Grace approachable, open and fun. She’s great at judging my capabilities and pushing me just enough to do more than I would on my own whilst not making things overwhelming or unachievable."

"I have been training with Grace for nearly a year. Since having my daughter I found it hard to fit exercise into being a working mum and I have had flares up of inflammation in my back if I don’t train correctly. Grace taught me to learn quick routines for the gym and at home which have allowed to build on my fitness, reduce inflammation whilst balancing everything else I do. Grace has been fun, kind and tough all at the same time making her the ideal personal trainer. I could not recommend her more highly."
