Build strength. Build muscle. Feel confident in your body.
Ready to get more from your training?
Whether you're new to weight training or simply not seeing the changes you want, I'll help you train with purpose, build strength and make progress you can measure.
One-to-one personal training in a private Haslemere studio, with a programme designed around you.
Exercising regularly but not seeing the results you want?
Running, HIIT classes and Pilates all have unique benefits. But if your goal is to build muscle and develop a stronger, more defined physique, resistance training needs to be part of the picture.
Perhaps you know you should be lifting weights but don't know where to start. Or you're lifting weights but aren't sure how much you should be challenging yourself or how to progress.
You don't need to work harder. You need a training approach that matches your goal.
Every exercise has a purpose.
No random workouts. No one-size-fits-all programmes. Just effective training built around your goals, ability and experience.
Depending on what you want to achieve, we'll work towards:
Building strength and muscle to develop a stronger, more defined physique.
Improving fitness so you feel fitter and more capable.
Supporting bone health through appropriate resistance training.
Improving mobility and movement to help you move with greater confidence.
I'll teach you how to lift with good technique, choose appropriate weights and progressively challenge yourself as you get stronger. You'll understand what you're doing, why you're doing it and how you're progressing.
Here's how we'll get started:
1. Talk about your goals
We'll discuss what you want to achieve, your exercise experience, likes and dislikes, and anything that might affect how you train.
2. Get a plan that's right for you
I'll assess your movement, mobility and current ability, taking any restrictions or pain into account. Your programme will be tailored to your starting point and goals.
3. Train, learn and progress
We'll start by learning your exercises, developing your technique and finding the right weights. I'll then progress your programme as your strength and ability improve.
The right approach for your goal
Personal training is excellent for building muscle, increasing strength, improving fitness and developing a stronger physique.
But if your main goal is fat loss, nutrition plays the bigger role. Losing body fat requires a sustained calorie deficit, and one or two personal training session a week is unlikely to achieve that on its own.
If you want to lose fat while building or maintaining muscle, combining nutrition coaching with personal training may be a good fit.
I'll help you understand your options so you can choose the right service for your goals — without being sold something you don't need.

Don't just take my word for it.
I've spent over 6,000 hours coaching clients one-to-one, helping them build strength, improve their fitness and work towards their individual goals.
Many of my clients have trained with me for years, with programmes that evolve as they get stronger and their goals change.
“Karen is a fantastic PT. She has a real talent for motivating you without ever making it feel forced or intimidating. She knows how to push, but always does it in a really positive and encouraging way.
Training with her made me rediscover how much i love lifting weights, which is probably the biggest compliment I can give. The sessions are challenging but enjoyable, and you always come away feeling like you’ve achieved something.
She’s knowledgeable, supportive and genuinely invested in helping you make progress. I’d happily recommend her to anyone looking for a PT who can get the best out of you while still making training something you look forward to.”
Mirko, chiddingfold
“Karen is everything you want in a PT - she listens to your needs and creates varied plans, and is always happy to change or adapt exercises if something doesn’t click.
She’s gently encouraging and makes you feel at ease, and you definitely get results! Since Karen has been my PT I’ve lost 8lbs of fat and gained 5lbs of muscle, and my arms and legs have toned up.
I can’t wait to see more changes in the coming months!”
Laura, haslemere
“Karen has been training me for a few years now, purely working on upper body strength.
The results have been very pleasing!
She has a wealth of knowledge, the ultimate professional, without making sessions a chore, and pushes you to achieve your goals and objectives. I’d highly recommend Karen as your PT!”
