Tracy is a pretty amazing and supportive PT, and as a human in general, quite wonderful. Her knowledge of health and well-being, alongside anatomy and physiology are excellent and uses this technical knowledge in a meaningful and applied way. I saw Tracy as a start to reinvesting in my physical fitness alongside building confidence in doing this myself going forward, as I make my way to 50. I can say with utter sincerity that I have been given the best head start I couldve wanted, alongside rediscovering a love of skipping (who knew!). And the added bonus? Coco cuddles. If youre looking for

I had an online session with Tracy weekly for about 10 weeks. I found her help in devising an exercise regime excellent and I learnt a lot about form and how to maximise each movement. She is very clear and patient and expects a high standard. I look forward to coming into her studio soon.

Absolutely love how simple, quick and effective the sessions with Tracy are! I had started sessions with her before lockdown and found her approach very refreshing. Her instructions are simple and easy to follow. I love the PDFs, which have pictures and pointers of all the exercises, so its really easy to repeat the workouts at home. Really pleased to discover that Tracy was doing online sessions, which are proving very helpful indeed. Especially when Im feeling lethargic, with working from home. If Im feeling a bit fed up shell always make me laugh and more importantly feel a whole

I went to Tracy because of lockdown but secondly because I did not want to exercise IN a gym but outside and not part of a Military Fitness gung-ho set-up. So, the initial motives were negative but the experience has been far from that. I've enjoyed sessions out in local parks going to some that I never knew existed, had a breakneck speed bike ride with exercises at the end (no allowances for age, wind or unfitness given - ie. good!) and when necessary exercises with my minimal equipment in my study. They are entertaining and positive and repeatable. I will continue with Tracy after all this

I have been working with Tracy for 7 months, following early retirement with MS. Tracy's 1-1 sessions are great fun and upbeat. Even on a really bad MS day, I can contact Tracy and she will adapt the session to what I can do that day. Tracy does the exercises with you, which is really beneficial if I'm having a "brain fog" day.
Tracy gives lots of feedback, so you know how you are doing and what you need to do or change. The Skype sessions, during the lockdown have been so beneficial for me, being in the vulnerable group. I really look forward and really enjoy the Thursday session. I have a
