Abbie – “Ten years ago, I was at the very beginning of my fitness journey. I’d tried countless fads and trends, but I always found myself starting again on Monday. I lacked confidence, hid at the back of fitness classes, and avoided the ” men’s section” of the gym because I didn’t feel I belonged there. However, I knew I needed to make a change—not just for my physical health but also for my mental well-being. So, I decided to work with a Personal Trainer, which completely changed my life. Because of this experience, I was inspired to help others transform their lives too.

Since I’ve been on my own journey, I understand how hard it can feel to take the first step. That’s why I promise to support you every step of the way. For example, I help break down your goals into smaller, manageable steps. In addition, I use my knowledge to choose the right exercises to help you get results”.

Not only do I support you in the studio, but I also take a holistic approach. I look at factors like sleep, nutrition, stress, and hydration to help you feel your best. This way, we work on improving your overall well-being—inside and out.

In my early 30s, I was much more active. I played squash once or twice a week, football once a week, and ultimate frisbee another time each week. However, I often felt sore and experienced pulled muscles. Over time, I just accepted the pain and thought it was normal. By my late 30s and early 40s, I became less active. Instead, I focused on swimming and walking, but my muscles started to weaken. As a result, I developed increased knee problems, and arthritis began to set in. In 2021 and 2022, I sometimes had to wear a leg brace because my legs, especially my right one, would painfully buckle when I walked. By this point, I was fairly convinced I’d need knee replacement surgery. Last year, I started physiotherapy to rebuild my leg muscles. Then, I joined Abbie Dillon’s small group training sessions. Although progress didn’t happen overnight, I’ve now experienced more muscle growth than I have in years. Most importantly, I can now walk pain-free most of the time, which hasn’t been possible for years. That’s not to say I never feel knee pain—I still have to be careful not to overdo it. However, instead of taking lifts, I now take the stairs, often two at a time. Instead of painfully running 100 yards to catch a train, I recently ran 4km straight. I’ve also signed up for a 5km run to support Cancer Research. This is something I never would have imagined doing a year ago. Without Abbie’s excellent guidance, none of this would have been possible.

I have been training with Abbie virtually once a week since the beginning of lockdown. Abbie changes the format and work out constantly, so it never feels stale. Even online, Abbie understands individuals strengths and is able to get the best out of everyone and easily adapts each exercise to cater for every fitness level, but I always feel pushed. Her classes are so enjoyable and beneficial. I have felt my fitness levels go from strength to strength and can not wait to train with her in real life. She is a great trainer, always positive and always supportive and very funny, which is a bonus!

I have been training with Abbie as part of her postnatal ‘ab rehab’ class. Abbie really understands postnatal fitness and her classes have been a great way for me to rebuild my fitness confidence and core post baby. The classes were well designed to gradually build up core strength with lots of options in terms of challenge so you could really tailor your sessions to your needs. With babies also welcomed and considered in the sessions, this was a great course for busy mums!
