    maybe you want to get your first pull up, learn how to squat or how to handstand. I got chu.

  • Working with Mae has changed my perspective of exercise and empowered me inside and outside the gym. Mae built a program suited to me and the goals I wanted to achieve and encouraged me consistantly. In the gym, she always brings a laugh as well as a fountain of knowledge. At home, she always offers virtual support to any doubts or queries. She has always gone out of her way to make things work for me, even accomodating for my childcare needs and finding a space that supported that! More importantly than my push up personal bests, Mae has helped me learn how to show up for myself, be gentle with myself and hold myself accountable. I feel more educated around the exercise I need and the benefit of it, and more inspired to do it! Thank you Mae for such a warm, individual approach to personal training. Work with mae!!!! You wont regret it!!!!!

    ~ Bonnie Bolt

  • Mae is an incredible trainer who helped me build my strength and confidence in the gym. I now feel so much fitter, and more importantly I enjoy the gym more than ever! You'll have fun training whilst also becoming stronger - what's not to love!?

    ~ Tillie Clarke

  • Mae is an absolute game-changer of a PT! I’ve struggled with hypermobility for so long and couldn’t find anyone who could help—until Mae came along and truly saved the day. The changes in my body have been incredible; I feel stronger and more confident in what I can do. On top of that, Mae is a wonderful person—kind, patient, and we always have a laugh! I highly recommend her to everyone!

    ~Ellen Gringal

  • My aches and pains stopped within a week! I think people (Physios especially, who take things - rightly - very gradually) underestimate women's strength! I was strong, I just wasn't using my strength. It needed activating and Mae helped me to do that.… I would absolutely recommend Mae! She is wonderfully encouraging and positive. She keeps targets realistic so that you improve slowly without even realising it. I had felt as though I couldn't exercise any more, but Mae changed quickly and with seemingly minimal effort from me! ~ Rachel

    ~ Rachel Seaton

  • I always look forward to my weekly sessions with Mae! Her expertise as a PT, especially in working with hypermobility, has been invaluable. Mae's deep understanding of how to strengthen and mobilize the body while addressing hypermobility has completely transformed how I approach my own body—teaching me to work with it rather than against it. Her passion and knowledge shine through in every session. Mae has an incredible ability to push me just the right amount when she knows I can go further, while also offering comfort and reassurance when I need it. She explains what’s happening in my body so clearly that even challenging exercises feel manageable and safe. These sessions have been paramount. They’ve not only become essential to my daily routine but have also left me feeling more embodied and empowered!

    ~ Francesca Howard

  • I initially thought I'd trial seeing my first ever PT for 6 weeks, but here I am one year on and still going once a week. Mae has been terrific. She prepared a programme to cater exactly to my needs - to strengthen my back and increase my flexibility, but modifies this to ensure my safety and well being at all times. Mae has a great personality, sense of humour, and smile, and this means going to the gym is always a pleasure (even when it hurts!).

Gym anxiety holding you back? Trust me, i've been there. There is nothing worse than feeling out of place and awkward when you've done the hardest bit which is showing up. 1. Wear something you genuinely feel comfortable in, whether that's a big old baggy T or a cute gym fit you've wanted to wear. Whatever you chose, do it for yourself and not because it's what you THINK is the right thing to wear. 2. Things will go wrong, that's okay. Life isn't always sunshine n roses. And, it's those times that make us stronger. In the words of Aaliyah (abso leg) Pick yoself up and try again gyal- you got this. 3. I encourage you to do things that scare you. Growth comes in the uncomfortable. Now I'm not saying go base jumping (although full power to you if you wanna sista). But start small, challenge that pesky brain of yours. That strength will transfer to all areas of your life. That's me, over n out ✌️❤️ . . . . . #confidenceinthegym #gymbeginner #womensupportingwomen #bodypositivefitness #bristolpersonaltrainer #trainwithmae #confidencecoach #femalefitnessjourney #trainwithmae
