Testimonials
"Davinia isn't just a personal trainer but a little ray of sunshine. Although she pushes you, whether you like it or not, she also understands that life can sometimes run away with you and is always there with support and encouragement to help ground you again. It's not as simple as helping you lose a dress size or three which definately dies, she works with you and helps you to battle the root cause. It's not just an exercise session, it's about making you feel happy, confident and the best you can be! It's not a job, it's a passion for her...I can't quantify how important my sessions with Davinia are and how much I have learnt from her...the one thing I can definetely vouch for is that once you start, you can't stop!"

"Starting personal training with Davinia 6 months ago – was the best thing I did. I am going on holiday at the end of August to Spain with my fiancé and I really want to look good in my bikini on the beach. The last couple of years I have felt bulgy and lumpy! Having worked with Davinia for 6 weeks now I am looking far better in my bikini and hopefully by the time I go in August I will look miles better. I am back in to my size 10 jeans again – so I have lost a dress size in 6 weeks. Now we are focusing on toning me up. Davinia has been so encouraging and motivating. She has helped me with my healthy eating plan and has made me exercise like I have never done before. I thought I was going to hate it but actually I really enjoy it."
"Davinia is the most inspiring, motivated and dedicated person I have ever met. She combines real passion for what she does, with an energy that can only be admired, guided by a realistic approach that makes you want to achieve.
This isn't just about Davinia telling you what to do, she delivers the whole package, training and supporting your mind, body and soul. In 18 months, Davinia has helped me gain a level of fitness I've never had and a body shape that most women of my age would die for. It's been hard work but fun and I've loved every minute of it."

"Since starting with Davinia nearly a year ago i am now motivated enough to actually get up at 6 am to swim each morning and even go for a run/walk after work. My family wonder who i am now as I was not usually so keen to exercise. The exercise is affective and you see results straight away, which is what you want. The hour sessions are actually fun and time runs away with you and your sweat!!! The activities change as needed and i now run oh my god i run!! The mind (coaching) sessions are very valuable and really help you focus on yourself and the 'why's' and the 'how's' about yourself. The option of a mini boot camp is also great with very good results and its that affective at getting you inch loss, motivation and fit that i am about to embark on a second week of boot camp."

"Starting personal training with Davinia has been the best investment I have ever made in my health and general well being. In four months I have reached my goals and am substantially fitter and slimmer than I was. Her advice not to weigh myself was completely liberating: freeing me of my dependency on the scales enabled me to focus much more positively on what I needed to achieve. Best of all, Davinia makes it all seem easy and, if you follow her advice, it is!"

"If you want to shape up and feel great in yourself then I definitely recommend using Davinia. She is bubbly, fun, motivating, understanding and supportive –all the things you would expect in a personal trainer. For years I have been trying to lose weight, and have done every diet under the sun… my last hope was to get a personal trainer… and what can I say. I have been working with Davinia now since Christmas and I have gone from a size 14 to a size 10 and I am over the moon. More importantly I am not dieting any more. Davinia has helped me with my eating and exercise regime. I never thought I would be able to stop eating chocolate and sweets every day, but I have. Davinia has helped me to realize how this was affecting my life and I will never go back to my old habits. I now eat far more healthily and just have the occasional chocolate bar – probably once a week! I am so happy with myself and if you have a problem like I did with losing weight – then Davinia will be able to help you too."

"Being with Davinia has really motivated me to enjoy exercise and stick to a programme.

Thank you xx. "

"I started training with Davinia a few years ago.Davinia was an inspiration to me from the outset, and helped me change my views on exercise and eating habits. During my time with Davinia i lost a lot of weight and completely changed my body shape through my determination and her support throughout my training process. I would constantly update Davinia with my progress during the week and she would inspire me in an extremely positive way. I highly recommend Davinia, she a personal trainer who really cares for her clients!"
"My Personal Training sessions that my husband bought me for Christmas last year, was the best present ever. Davinia helped me so much and I cannot thank you enough. Never in a million years, did I think I would be a size 12 and now here I am. I had been a size 18 ever since I could remember. I have always felt embarrassed about my size but too ashamed to go to the gym. So personal training seemed like a good option. You were so sweet when you first met me and really helped me to realise that I could lose the inches and I did. You installed confidence in me and I started to get results quickly because of your healthy eating and exercise plan. I have enjoyed every minute with you and I would recommend you to anyone that wants to lose weight in a healthy way."
"Thank you so much for helping me gets into a size 10 again. I have been battling with my weight for years and finally I am in control and have never looked and felt better. I never thought exercise would be so much fun. Personal training with you has been brilliant and you are so much fun to work with. I will miss our sessions terribly whilst I am away. I will definitely come back for some more boxing fun when I am back from the States in 6 months time."
"Davinia is not only my personal trainer but such a lovely friend too. I am writing her this testimonial as I want to share with every one else how much she has done for me and no doubt her other clients too. I started off having personal training with Davinia over a year ago. I initially was only going to have a few sessions to get me motivated to exercise again. I started to see a difference in my energy levels and body shape within weeks and I also started to really enjoy exercising again. Personal training sessions with Davinia are so much fun. She is always happy, always makes you feel like a million dollars and always works you hard. I look forward to our sessions every week. I am so happy with my body shape now. I am toned and a size 8. Outside of our sessions, I stick to my exercise and eating plan that Davinia has drawn up for me and this definitely keeps me in great shape. If you want a personal trainer, then you will love Davinia - she is a gem."
"I felt very comfortable with Davinia, as soon as she began to Coach me. She was warm, supportive, and understood me, which was just what I needed, as I had never voiced the extent of my lack of confidence to anyone before. I had no idea what to expect from the transformation package, but it was excellent. Davinia asked me to describe what confidence meant to me, what it looked like, felt like and how would I know when I got there. For the first time someone was asking me to be specific about what I wanted, rather than what I didn’t, and was really interested. Then I looked at how I perceived myself. - That was a real reality check. Davinia showed me some NLP techniques that I could use so that I believed in myself more. She also coached me to work out how I could improve my confidence... it really has been an eye opening experience on how to increase your confidence and I definitely feel more confident in tons of situations. I am now having coaching with Davinia to ensure that I use my confidence and make some goals in my life."
"I have always had a real problem with my weight. I have been a compulsive eater for all my life and have been on numerous diets, which never worked. But Davinia’s Health package was a revelation. It worked a treat and now I have finally gone from a size 16 to a size 10 and I am delighted. Davinia helped me to refocus my mind on how I look at food and my health. She is so supportive. After that day, I seriously viewed food in a different way. I actually think about what I eat and become fuller easily. I feel a lot better from losing weight and I am also more in tune with my body. I have started to become active and feel great. Thank you."
"I have been pretty unhappy for a long time and through the happy package and some additional coaching, I have found my zest for life again. I cannot tell you how amazing it feels to wake up in the morning and feel happy and very much alive. This has definitely opened up my eyes to how important it is to talk to yourself positively. Before coaching I used to look in the mirror and criticize myself – no wonder I was miserable. I am now treating myself with respect and have learnt to love myself. "
"I had the most restful night's sleep I've had for ages. When I woke up my first conscious thought was: "Am I still feeling the same?" And the answer was YES, YES, YES.
The ball is now well and truly rolling, taking me forever onwards and upwards. What you've done for me is absolutely priceless, and one of the things I will be using my grateful stone for is to remind me every day how grateful I am to you for changing my life in one explosive session yesterday. It certainly has made a world of difference to me."
"I love personal training with Davinia. She has made exercise enjoyable and fun and I never thought I would have said that a few months ago. I am finally getting the body shape that I want and my fitness and energy levels have increased massively. I feel so much more confident and happier with the way that I look. "
"I have gone down two dress sizes since having personal training with Davinia. I use to be a compulsive eater but I have now got that under control. Coaching and NLP has really helped me to stop my bad eating habits. "
"I have never really felt very happy in my own skin. I have always put myself down and have never felt good about myself. BUT not anymore. Through coaching and NLP therapy I have learnt to love myself and I really do feel fabulous now. "
"I have completely transformed my life with coaching and training from Davinia. I never used to put myself first and was completely stressed and unhappy with whom I was. I had no confidence when I went out and really despised myself. Not anymore. Coaching has helped me find myself and I really love myself now. It is lovely. I am becoming fitter ever week and my health has improved massively. I am hardly ever ill now because I look after myself properly. I have realised that looking after your health and wellbeing is vital to feel good. Every day I wake up and feel happy because I have control over my emotions and over my wellbeing."
"Personal training and coaching have completely changed my life. I now have control over what I eat and don’t use food as an emotional crutch. I have a healthy relationship with food now, which I never used to have. I have lost 8% body fat over the last few months and I look and feel fabulous. "
