Personal Training & Nutrition Coaching in Haslemere
What do you want to change?
Maybe you want to become stronger, improve your fitness, build muscle and change your body shape.
Perhaps you'd like to lose weight, improve your nutrition or simply feel healthier and more confident.
Whatever you're looking to achieve, the right approach depends on the goal.
I offer three ways to work with me, so you can choose the support that's right for you:
Option 1
1-to-1 Personal Training
Build strength. Build muscle. Improve your fitness.
Personal training is about what your body can do. Through progressive resistance training and tailored exercise, we'll work on strength, muscle development, mobility, fitness, bone health and overall physical capability.
Your programme is designed around your current ability, goals and preferences, with your training progressing as you do.
Option 2
Nutrition Coaching
Lose weight. Improve your nutrition. Build healthier habits.
If weight loss is your main goal, exercise helps a bit, but not as much as diet. I'll help you understand energy balance and create a sustainable calorie deficit designed to suit your dietary preferences and lifestyle, alongside other nutritional strategies to support your individual goals.
My nutrition coaching can also help you with:
muscle building
eating for optimal health
improved sports performance
developing a healthier relationship with food.
Nutrition coaching coming soon!
Option 3
Personal Training + Nutrition
Train your body and improve your nutrition together.
If you want to work on both your training and nutrition, we can combine the two for a more comprehensive approach.
Maybe you want PT sessions to build muscle tone and strength, with a tailored to you nutritional strategy to shed body fat and reveal the results of your hard work.
Or maybe you want to combine feeling fitter and stronger, with learning how to fuel and nourish your body, to feel energised and for good general health.
Your exercise and nutrition strategies can work together, rather than trying to tackle each in isolation.
Combined service coming soon!
how training with me can help you
Build strength
Your personalised resistance training programme will help you become stronger and more capable, both in the gym and out,
with progress measured weekly to keep you motivated and on track.
Build muscle
If you’re goal is to ‘get toned’ you need to build muscle! Building muscle can change your body shape and improve body composition,
while helping you maintain muscle that gets lost as you get older.
Support bone health
Resistance training, when performed consistently, can help maintain and increase bone mineral density.
This becomes particularly important as we age, when preserving bone health becomes increasingly important.
Improved fitness
We can work on your cardiovascular fitness and overall conditioning at a level that's appropriate for you,
making every day life and sporting activities feel easier.
Better mobility and movement
Combining mobility with strengthening weak spots can do wonders for flexibility and reducing aches and pains.
We can incorporate mobility work specific to your pain points to help you move more freely and confidently.
Build confidence
There's something incredibly empowering about discovering that you can lift, move and achieve more than you thought you could!
nutrition advice you can trust
There is an overwhelming amount of nutrition advice online and unfortunately, much of it isn't based on good evidence.
Conflicting opinions, fad diets, social media trends and confident-sounding claims can make it incredibly difficult to know what you should actually believe.
As an MNU Certified Nutritionist, my nutrition coaching is grounded in current scientific evidence and research.
Rather than following the latest diet trend or giving you a list of arbitrary food rules, I'll help you understand why a particular approach may be appropriate for you, and how to put it into practice in a realistic and sustainable way.
My nutrition coaching can support a range of goals, including:
Fat loss
Create a sustainable calorie deficit without resorting to unnecessarily restrictive diets.
Muscle building
Understand how your energy and protein intake can support muscle growth alongside your training.
Optimal health
Build a nutritious, balanced diet that supports your health and well-being.
Sports performance
Learn how to fuel your training and recovery effectively.
A healthier relationship with food
Move away from confusing rules and all-or-nothing thinking and develop an approach to food that is sustainable for you.
Evidence first. Practical second. Always tailored to you.

want to work on both?
For some people, the best approach is to combine the two.
Your training can help you build strength, muscle and fitness, while nutrition coaching can help you manage your calorie intake, support muscle growth, fuel your training and develop sustainable eating habits.
You can choose personal training, nutrition coaching, or both.
There is no requirement to sign up for services you don't need.
Personal training
should be personal
You shouldn't have to fit yourself around a generic workout programme.
During your initial consultation, we'll talk about what you want to achieve, your previous experience, what you enjoy, what you don't, your current ability and anything that may affect how you train.
I'll use that information to create a training approach that's appropriate for you.
There are no one-size-fits-all programmes here.
Your training will change as you do, with exercises, weights, repetitions and progression adapted as you become fitter and stronger.
Train with purpose, not just for the sake of exercising
It's possible to spend hours exercising every week without getting the results you're looking for.
The answer isn't necessarily to do more. It's to make sure you're doing the right things, in the right way, consistently enough to make a difference.
I'll help you understand how to train effectively, whether that's learning how to lift weights correctly, knowing when to increase the challenge, improving your cardiovascular fitness or simply making the most of the time you have available.
And because I'm coaching you throughout your sessions, you're never left wondering whether you're doing it right or what you should be doing next.
A private studio. Your own dedicated session.
Your personal training takes place in my private home studio in Haslemere, providing a focused and supportive environment for your training.
There's no busy gym floor, no waiting around for equipment and no wondering what you're supposed to do next.
When you arrive, your session is about you.
I'll coach you through your workout, pay close attention to your technique and make sure you're working at an appropriate level for your ability and goals.
It's personal training in the truest sense of the word.

What does your
personal training
journey look like?
1. Your free consultation
We'll have a chat about where you are now, what you'd like to achieve, your previous experience and what you're looking for from personal training. It's also an opportunity for us to get to know each other.
2. Your movement assessment
Before starting your programme, I'll assess how you move, your mobility, any restrictions or areas of discomfort, and your overall fitness and ability.
3. Your personalised programme
I'll use everything we've discussed and learned to create your first 8-week training programme, tailored specifically to you.
4. Your introduction week
Your first week is about learning. We'll go through the exercises, establish good technique, find appropriate starting weights and work out how you respond to different levels of challenge.
5. Your progression
From there, we'll build progressively. I'll record your reps and weights so we can monitor your progress, and your training will evolve as you become fitter and stronger.
Every session has a purpose.
Why work with me?
I've been working as a personal trainer for almost seven years and have delivered more than 6,000 hours of personal training and coaching.
During that time I've worked with people with very different goals, fitness levels, abilities and starting points.
And that's one of the things I love about personal training.
There isn't a typical client.
Some people come to me because they want to lose weight. Others want to get stronger, improve their fitness, build muscle, gain confidence, return to exercise after time away, or simply have someone knowledgeable to keep them accountable.
My role is to meet you where you are and help you move towards where you want to be.
What my clients say:
“I not only feel back to normal, but even stronger than before pregnancy.”
“Genuinely the best decision I’ve made for my fitness.”
“To say Karen changed my life might sound over the top, but quite honestly, it’s the only way to sum it up!”
”She’s knowledgeable, supportive and genuinely invested in helping you make progress.”
