“I signed up to the 8 week fat loss programme to get out the vicious circle I was in. I wanted to change my body, i was so down about how I looked always covering up and dreading the thought of summer! I had in my head how I wanted to look and feel.

I needed a plan someone telling me exactly what to do. And after seeing all the Km Fitness results I knew that Kev & Kelly were the right people to help me sort it out. I had bad eating habits. Doing crash diets as a quick fix, the typical 4 on 3 off was just a standard week and completely binging at the weekend.

Kev & Kellys support since day 1 has been constant! They are so friendly and easy to talk to, If there was anything I was unsure of I just sent a quick text to Kev and his response was there ,nothing was ever to big or small to ask. There positivity and little pep talks and saying “keep pushing guys” will always stay in my head.

From doing 0 exercise to seeing the plan that was set I thought at first that’s going to be impossible but every day I did it and every day I got stronger. You just have to make a change if it’s what you really want.

The live workouts were amazing..always different and giving me the push I needed. There was always some form of exercise I could do, Kev & Kelly modified it if I was struggling.

The nutrition has been delicious! I never realised I was such a good cook 😂 So many meal choices and once your in the swing with prepping and planning it was so easy and satisfying. Enjoying the meals available helped to stay away from the treats I would prefer a full healthy meal over a bag of crisps and was going to gain more from it.

In the run up before the programme start when I had my pack I was so anxious and worried thinking how Would I have the time to prep my meals it involved a lot of cooking.. when would I have time to do a workout?

Being in lockdown with a baby and homeschooling my little girl whilst doing all the other general life jobs. But that was me again finding excuses, I now know 8 weeks down the line that there’s always time and no excuses. It’s a choice.

And i wasn’t going to give up to be stuck in a rut with myself again. Signing up was the hardest but most rewarding thing Iv ever done and Iv done it just for me.

I would 100% recommend Km fitness, If you want to look better feel better while having the constant support then these guys are the people you need in your life.

Thank you for helping me sort myself out and helping me feel like me again.”

“I saw Kev’s transformation album on Facebook and was intrigued for a while but I was to in my comfort zone to have the get up and go to make a change to my life style.

It was only until I met one of the guys there had recently completed one of Kev’s boot camps. After seeing his results and asking about how he went about it I contacted Kev and signed straight up to his boot camp.

Kev was really friendly and welcoming, he asked about my personal goals and targets, answered all of my questions and gave me an instant relief that I had made the right decision.

To anybody that is making that scary first step into the gym. Trust me, you’re worrying about nothing. From the first second of chatting with Kev all those demons disappear!

I started on Kev’s Bootcamp in October 2016, I was a newbie to the gym and exercise in general, I Had spent my adult life eating poorly and drinking to the point of a beer belly. My goal was to get fit and loose the belly!

The first session felt like a killer! Having not being used to exercise, but week by week the fitter I was getting.

After 4 weeks I was addicted to the results I was seeing so I arranged some PT’s with Kev alongside of the boot camp. My confidence levels had been given a jump start, suddenly the gym was no longer a scary place full of giant men lifting Olympic weights.

After the 8-week boot camp, I had managed to shift my belly, felt healthier physically and mentally, Prior to all this I had been taking anti-depressant medication for the past few years, just after 8 weeks of Kev’s programme I managed to come of those tablets.

After the boot camp, I instantly asked Kev if I could join his next one. He explained to me that I had already lost my excess weight and my body fat was down to a minimum and that I should concentrate on building muscle as this was the next step for my body. So, I signed up to do a 10-week hypertrophy with Kev, this consisted of 4 x 1 hour sessions in the gym per week in the weight section of true grit and eating a lot of meals using his ‘clean bulking’ tailored diet for my own tastes. Half way through my hypertrophy I suffered a back injury during a session, Kev was really sincere about this problem and assured me to take a week off to rest whilst being off Kev would daily check up on me and offer messages of inspiration. We made up for the lost time at the end of my hypertrophy, Kev donated his time in order for me to complete the whole 10 week programme.

Doing the hypertrophy was probably the hardest thing I have ever challenged myself with, those 1 hour sessions full of sweat and pain felt like 10 hours at the time (usually ending up with me vomiting on leg day!) and the eating part took up a lot of time prepping and eating.

But I feel a huge self-satisfaction that I can say “I did it!” and the results I saw back in the mirror was a completely different body than I saw 18 weeks earlier.
The exercise element was challenging as being new and was a massive learning curve knowing what to call certain exercises/ weights.

Every week was a step forward though, being able to do more cardio and lifting heavier each week was rewarding that I have learnt new skills and was doing it properly.

The nutrition element was really interesting to learn about high fat/high protein diet in order to get your body to burn fat. I learnt a lot of Kev’s recipes in order to cook from scratch, I still cook a his favourites now.

During hypertrophy Kev basically designed every meal for me after asking about personal preferences regarding tastes and dislikes etc.
Every week he would adjust my meal plan gram by gram depending on my weekly measurements and progress. It was hard work fitting in so many meals per day but rewarding that the results speak for themselves

Kev’s knowledge was spot on, he took time to show me every exercise and weight lifting techniques, he explained about tempo of lifting a weight was more important than the size of the weight. Getting everything possible out of every single rep.

His knowledge on nutrition was bang on too, he would give the best advice on the supplements needed and answer all questions about what to eat and what not to eat. On a daily basis Kev would be asked questions and reply instantly in the ‘boot camp group message’ about nutrition.

I have already referred several friends and colleagues to Kev’s boot camp which have come out with fantastic results.

My confidence levels now are through the roof and it all started on Kev’s Bootcamp.”

“I decided to sign up as I’ve known Kev and Kel for a long time, I know how professional and dedicated each of them are to their clients and have seen their amazing results. I was feeling sluggish and had gained bad eating habits through covid that I couldn’t break and needed support in breaking them in order to lean up.

Kelly has been amazing from the first time we spoke. Very open and honest and provided constant support. Even when my head fell off… and it did on more than one occasion. Kel instantly recognised what was causing it and eliminated it out of my programme (the scales… a girls worst enemy).

Kel knows her stuff and talked me through my emotions, my training and my goal! And her light hearted banter picked me up on those harder days. (each check in made me laugh).

I’m not going to lie… when I saw my carb macros I nearly died… but I went with it and gave it a go. We talked about what I could and couldn’t eat (based on what i liked, didn’t like n would try) and Kel helped me to select the carb choices (the bagel was my queen of carbs 🤣).

As the weeks went on…. the carbs got to me mentally as I wasn’t used to them, i felt sluggish and bloated and we talked. Kel encouraged me through until they dropped and I just had to trust the process (it was hard!).

The exercise was brilliant… a totally different way of training and something I will definitely carry into my usual programme. Cutting back training was also a big achievement for me mentally, especially the cardio … I was like a kid at Christmas when this was increased.

The scales were admittedly my biggest down fall. Not seeing them drop for the whole programme really got to me and Kel could see it, so took them away.

The pictures say it all… I know I didn’t need to loose weight sitting at 51- 52 kg and Kel explained i would look too skinny if I dropped weight and I knew that but it was so hard knowing how hard I was training.

Kelly put a lot of work in to change my mindset and to regain my focus… and I honestly don’t think anyone else could have done it. So thank you Kel ❤️.

I feel leaner, fitter and more focused on making healthier choices. And so bloody guilty for my head wobbles. 🤣 I don’t know how Kelly coped with me!

I would 100% recommend KM Fitness to anyone regardless of their starting level. I always recommend Kev and Kel and will carry on doing so. They have such a professional but friendly attitude to their work and are 100% dedicated. No question is a silly question and nothing is too much trouble.”

“I booked to do the Physique course as even though I was exercising I was not seeing any results. With an existing knee injury I felt like I was making excuses for myself.

Having spoken to Kev and seen his work on his clients and himself I felt that it would give me accountability and that he could guide me to the results I wanted where I could be happy with my body. And boy I was right!

Kev has been brilliant. When first speaking to him I explained my situation, goals and concerns. Kev is calm and explains things so well so you know what you are doing.

He takes time to ease your concerns and how to overcome them. During the programme when things were difficult for me Kev took the time to speak with me and gave me focus.

On top of that his check ins aren’t just about your physical wellbeing but how you are doing in yourself, you can’t put a price on that. The personal touch he shows is so important and really helped to keep me on track and focus on the end goal.

It has been such a great experience. My goal at the start was to be in the best shape and being happy with myself. Throughout the programme Kev has shown that everyone is different and that the best shape for everyone is different.

I had an ongoing knee injury which I thought might hamper me, but Kev made sure that I wasn’t putting myself at risk.

During the programme I had issues outside of the programme which threatened to derail my progress and I just felt like I wasn’t good enough.

Kev was on hand to help focus my mind on what my goals were at the start and why I was doing this programme. Kev helped me to focus on the little things and helped me to be happy with my progress.

I am now a lot happier with myself and feel a lot more confident in myself and how I am. The difference in my mindset is night and day

I thought I was eating fairly well but I struggled with the Macros counting. Kev helped me to realise that I could eat more without putting weight on. After a week or so I felt like I was eating more than ever before. The prep has been good and I can’t believe how much I can eat and stay within the calories and Macros.

Thanks to knowing I can eat more and with the prepping, I no longer snack on crap because of hunger. My relationship with food has improved dramatically from the programme. I am no longer scared of carbs and realise that I can still eat lots of food and be happy.

The exercises have been great fun. I used to do lots of classes, Kev has helped me to focus more on the weights side in the gym and what’s best for the muscle development.

Kev really helps you to go a little further than you think you can. The faith Kev has in you helps to drive you on. I now can’t wait to get in the gym and do my weight sessions.

I would recommend Kev and KM Fitness to everyone no matter what your goal. Kev is so knowledgeable and talks through things with you to understand what you want and how to get there.

The one thing I will say is “Trust Kev and Trust The Process”. If you give your all to Kev and are honest with him, he will get you to where you want to be. He has been brilliant as a coach and a person.

That personal touch puts him on a different level and I can not thank him enough!! Get in touch with him guys, you will not be sorry.”

“I started with Kelly about 2 years ago. I had always dipped in and out of gyms or done home workouts and silly fad diets but never ever stuck to anything. After having my daughter and with 12 months of no sleep, I’d begun to eat so much rubbish to try and get through the sleepless nights…the idea of dragging myself to the gym was terrifying.

Kell was recommended to me through a friend. To be honest, the idea of making small talk with a stranger or having someone stand over me while I was exercising filled me with dread..not my cup of tea at all but I decided to take the plunge and give it a go!

I remember my first meeting with Kelly, (where you have the initial chat and take those hideous photos), I was awkward and apprehensive and as I walked into the gym I wanted to turn straight back around and get out. How stupid I was! Kell put me totally at ease from the first second and I felt like she was really listening to me and totally got what it felt like to be a mum and barely recognise yourself in the mirror. We discussed my goals thoroughly and we started doing PT for an hour a week.

It sounds a bit OTT to say… but being brave and not walking back to my car was literally the best decision I made.

Following that first meeting, Kell made every session brilliant. It was great and having a PT to show you what you can do on the equipment is such a bonus. Every session was varied and I learnt new things each time. Some days she could tell that I’d had no sleep or was in a bad mood and she’d let me rant a little at her before whipping me into shape for an hour. It definitely never felt like anything I had worried it would be…no small talk at all…just chatting, laughing and encouragement (whilst dying a little bit on the gym floor)!

Outside of the gym she guided me through a new nutrition plan and was always at the end of the phone to spur me on or give me encouragement/ guidance when I needed it. I think this bit is really important because whilst that hour a week is great, I needed someone to keep tabs on me all week…to make sure I was reaching for healthy snacks and not a chocolate bar to try and get a boost of energy and to make sure I was getting enough sessions in at the gym.

I have done several rounds of PT with Kell and each of her bootcamps and I simply cannot recommend her enough. It sounds really gushy (and anyone that knows me will know that’s not really how I am!) But I genuinely can’t think of enough superlatives to explain what Kell has done for me over the last couple of years. She’s introduced me to a routine of fitness that for the first time in my life I really enjoy, she’s given me the confidence to go to the gym on my own and use equipment that looked terrifying at the beginning, and she’s now a really great friend!! What more could I have asked for when I walked into that gym, not making eye contact with anyone and just hoping to lose a few pounds?!

Thank you Kelly.”

“I had friends who had taken PT and bootcamp with Kevin and I asked them because I wanted to lose weight and get fit but I had lost my confidence and didn’t know where to start.

When I first met Kevin he was Very kind and put me at ease right away. He was very respectful and didn’t make me feel silly, as I have already said my confidence was rock bottom so it was a huge step for me to take, he completely understood this and didn’t judge me at all.

Initially i wanted to lose weight but I also knew I needed a lifestyle change. I had previously been fit and a keen runner but couldn’t maintain this since putting on weight. I needed to change my lifestyle as I was eating all the wrong food, smoking and drinking too much.

There is heart disease and diabetes in my family so I needed to change my lifestyle as I felt I was heading towards falling foul of this!!

I did my initial bootcamp with Kevin in January this year and did another with him in April. I then followed this with 2 blocks of personal training which took me to December.

I achieved my goals and then some!! I’m fitter and healthier than ever. I’ve not smoked since January 2016, I am now a member at True Grit Training and I train 6 days a week, including 2 runs. And I’m STRONG. I took part in the Potters ‘Arf Marathon as part of a relay and did X-RUNNER 10K obstacle course race. My confidence is back and I love life.

I Really enjoyed bootcamp and I made lots of new friends. I really enjoyed the class but for me the best session was the outside training sessions at Forest Park. I have a love/hate relationship with those hill sprints but the team work and atmosphere was fantastic.

The personal training sessions have been awesome – I wish I could do this every day. Kev always knows you have a bit more to give and pushes you to achieve because he knows you can – he had faith in me when I never did.

I struggled with the nutrition element at first because it wasn’t what I was used to but I put my faith in Kev as the expert. I read the bootcamp back and it made sense.

I went from eating 6 slices of white bread every day to none and now I don’t eat bread at all. I know now why my body craved those sugary foods and by eating the right food at the right time I was able to keep the cravings at bay.

Kev’s knowledge is Fantasic – I can’t fault him. I struggled initially with the change in diet as I can’t eat eggs but when I explained this to Kev he gave me alternatives.

He would always give advice and articles to read up on but was never “you must do this”. He gave us information and backed it up with the facts.

On the exercise he was always giving modifications depending on the level of fitness you were at but would push you when he knew you had more to give.

I have since referred friends have taken up places with Kev for bootcamp and PT sessions from my recommendations.

The single best thing I have taken away from my experience of training with Kev is he has helped me get my confidence back and he believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself.”

“I got to know Kev through classes that I attended at True Grit Training and after seeing his transformation pictures I decided to sign up for his next bootcamp that was starting in October 2017.

Christmas was fast approaching and I wanted to get in better shape. I was training regularly but not seeing the results that I wanted.

Kev has always been extremely approachable and friendly but most importantly he takes the time to listen and understand your own personal goals as this is different for every person.

His passion for his job is second to none and wants you to best that you can be.

After completing my first Bootcamp with Kev my confidence grew but so did my strength, I met some lovely people that supported me throughout the 8 weeks and I now train with them at the gym.

I totally exceeded my own personal goals in the 8 weeks and that gave me the passion to want to push myself further to see what I could achieve so I joined up to Kev’s 10 week personal training physique programme at the start of this year.

I have always struggled with yo-yoing weight and with my 40th birthday approaching I wanted to look good and feel confident.

I put my trust in Kev and was over the moon with my results.

The 1-1 PT’s were extremely tough but it gave me the confidence to learn to push myself outside my comfort zone. I could not believe that I had achieved the results that I did – I’d lost over a stone in weight but more importantly I’d shed body fat and lots of inches:)

I have joined many gyms but never stuck at it but with Kev’s guidance and expertise I now love the gym especially seeing for myself what you can achieve with the correct training and nutrition.

The exercise element of bootcamp is great as you have the support of the group and can motivate each other along the way.

PT sessions are extremely tough, always different, enjoyable (I still hate the leg press) and very challenging. Kev never lets you stay in your comfort zone.

I always thought that being healthy was eating boring food , same old salads everyday but with all the recipes that are available in the bootcamp pack and all the advice I soon realised that was definitely not the case.

I have always struggled with eating the wrong foods (I have a very sweet tooth) but I now have the knowledge to know what I need by eating at the right times. Being healthy is no longer boring!

Kev’s knowledge on nutrition and exercise is excellent and he is always on hand for advice when needed.

Throughout both my bootcamp and physique programme Kev has monitored my progress and made changes to my food and and exercise regime whenever needed.

Anyone looking to make that change should put their trust in Kev.

Many have commented on the results that I have achieved, which I could not have done without kev’s advice & support. I have already spoke to friends who have gone on to sign up to Kev’s bootcamp.

I have learnt so much from Kev about nutrition and exercise that I will continue with knowing that I can fit this into my everyday life. But most importantly he has given me back my self confidence and of course I now have a whole new wardrobe of smaller clothes.

Thanks Kev!” 😊

”I’d gotten into a rut of eating and drinking to excess so wasn’t seeing any benefits other than an expanding waistline.

I chose KM Fitness because of location, the fact I’d seen them around the gym. They came across as nice pleasant people and both looked good…the best kind of advertisement.

Looking back I felt frumpy, sluggish and unhealthy and my initial goals were to lose some weight and hopefully tone up a bit.

Both Kelly and Kev are really pleasant and likeable people, I was pleased they were nice and not full of themselves.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the process of having Kelly as my mentor. I like the fact she’s upbeat & positive but not in an insincere way. I’ve loved my weekly updates from her on a Monday as they are always thoughtful and informative as well as motivating and I also love the fact the relationship between us works so well…She’s not overbearing or in my face.

I take onboard what she says then go and put it into practise because she explains it so well. I can just get on with it…no faffing around and that suits me well!

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the physique transformation so much so that I’ve surprised myself.

I realised early on that accountability is what works for me and keeps me on the straight and narrow. Having that along with the more specific nutrition and fundamental workouts has been really good for me and the results I’ve had so far have surpassed what I thought I could do.

Nutrition wise I enjoy food and tracking what I eat has become second nature now so a really useful tool going forward but one of the best results has been with alcohol. I now have the occasional drink in moderation rather than wine because it’s a weeknight, weekend, party, etc.

The exercise side has been most time consuming for me as I’ve had to juggle things to try and fit it in at times but the results have been so worth it and the fact that I’ve still been able to fit in a couple of classes has helped mix it up a bit and keep me motivated.

I feel great, I enjoy buying clothes again as everything fits so much better and I feel more like the old me.

I get a natural high from seeing my body change and new muscles forming and I love my shoulders now they are sculpting. I can’t wait to see what else I can do and where Kelly can take me next physique wise.

I’d recommend KM Fitness to everybody…I always have done previously and always will. The results speak volumes and are a testament to them and what they do.”

Mark P

“I decided on signing up to KM Fitness because I’ve been following their social media pages for a while and I was really impressed with the results I was seeing.

I was physically and mentally embarrassed in my own appearance. I found myself looking at other people’s progress pictures in jealously but more so in envy as to what they managed to achieve with dedication and hard work.

I had been thinking about it for a while so I filled the online application form out thinking I would never get selected anyway. But something as little as filling the form in felt like my first step in the right direction. So when I actually received the email to say I was selected and Kev will call me do discuss the process its safe to say i shit myself thinking I’m actually going have to do something about it.

From my very first call with Kev I was at ease within seconds knowing that I’m not doing it alone. Yes, i was physically the one who had to do all the work but knowing I’m doing the right work is more than half the battle for me, there was no second guessing what I was doing.

My mindset was in Kev’s words “trust the process” so that’s what I did for the whole 12 weeks. There was not a single question I asked that didn’t get a simple and quick response with a perfect explanation as to why.

The most enjoyable part “once I got my head around it” was the macro diet and fully understanding what I can and can’t eat. Before when I tried to diet, I would just eat my 3 meals and be hungry all the time which in turn would lead to me crashing and burning.

On macros I found I was eating a lot more often and bigger meals even before bed some nights just so I could hit my targets. This was a hard process to trust because it went against everything that you’ve heard before.

Yet every week the weight kept dropping nicely, It was only ever 1lb/2lb a week which at first was a bit disheartening as I was expecting to lose more, but again Kev assured me this was the right way so I “trusted the process” and I’m 2 stone down. I can honestly say I have not once been hungry in once in 12 weeks.

At the start I was embarrassed and uncomfortable in pretty much everything I did or wore. Now there is no discomfort when walking around “unless its muscle soreness” and I just generally feel healthy and fit no matter what the task. As for the embarrassment that has completely gone along with a wardrobe full of clothes that no longer fit me.

Would I recommend KM Fitness??? Yes 100!”

“I first signed up to a KM fitness fatloss bootcamp in October 2020 and the reason for that was ‘Well I better do something because I want to be in better shape for my wedding’. Did I want to attend that first class when my alarm went off on that cold dark Sunday morning – nope! I did not. The only reason I got my arse out of bed was because I’d signed up with a friend who was relying on me for a lift – I highly recommend starting your fitness journey with a friend it honestly helps get you motivated and keep you motivated 100%, her support has been invaluable, she’s my biggest cheerleader (Skye Walker). A few classes in and even through 2 lockdowns I caught a buzz for exercise and how it made me look and feel and from there on I signed up with my bootcamp buddy to pt sessions with Kelly because I didn’t want my fitness journey to stop!

I could write a novel about Kelly ‘Put the kettle on’ – as she would say 😂. She is so approachable and so down to earth, no two ways about it, without her I would not have achieved my results. She has invested so much of her time, energy and knowledge into me and my challenge. She is so passionate about what she does, and she just got me! That made me passionate, I wanted to match her excitement and passion for what I could achieve, I wanted to make her proud and it really worked for me that I was accountable to her every week. I’m a nervous person, I’m self conscious, I panic and a physique challenge has it’s ups and downs but she has been on that phone every step of the way, and I’m not just talking once a week handover, which by the way are so thorough and well explained – I’m talking me messaging her at 9pm on a Friday night during a heat wave asking her if my knees swelling during exercise is normal. And her replying straight away. Me messaging her during my bulk, upset because my leggings didn’t feel right – and Kelly messaging me with support and encouragement. And also Kelly stopping me from burying my partner in the garden when he was eating a full pizza in front of me and I was on low carbs 😂. Coming back to weekly handover Kelly explains my week for me, what my exercise is going to be and what my nutrition is but also she tells me the science behind it all, what all that will do to my body and why it’s necessary for my goal. I need to hear all that because without it I’m just someone wandering round the gym, spending £30 a month on a membership, having a few goes on the machines without a bloody clue. Believe me when I say if she told me during handover that it would be a good idea for me to back flip off a bridge – I’d do it 😂 that’s the amount of trust I have in her (she assures me though that won’t be necessary)

After bootcamp I didn’t really know where to go from there, I was having fun but felt like another fat loss programme wouldn’t be the right fit for me, I wanted more! I wanted the next step! I spoke to Kelly and she asked me what my goal was – I said I wanted to feel and look stronger. She explained to me a physique challenge over 20 weeks would be a good idea for me and I agreed. Honestly when I started I was nervous to lift weights. The word ‘massive’ and ‘arnie’ kept popping into my head. I didn’t want to be ‘big’, that wasn’t my goal – Kel was always there to bring me back to reality and calm me down explaining that wasn’t possible for me because of a b and c! I have had a very unhealthy relationship with my body for over 20 years, constant comparisons to other women, wanting smaller this and bigger that. This journey has had its challenges but I can honestly say I am so proud of just being me and what I’ve achieved, beyond my physique – the challenge has made me learn things about myself – like I am a dedicated person, I am passionate, I am strong in body and mind, I have a fierce will power, I am someone who can make sacrifices, I can push myself harder even when I feel like there’s nothing left in the tank. My mental health has also benefited hugely from regular exercise, structure and routine. There is nothing like that boost of endorphins when you’ve completed your work out. Some days you might have to drag yourself there to get it done, but you’ll never, ever regret a workout!

I have had a really unhealthy approach to food for many years. Ive restricted, I’ve gone hungry I’ve seen foods as good and bad – it’s always felt like food has been problematic. A structured nutrition plan really works for me. I like to feel organised and like to have a goal to achieve. It makes it easier. I now see food for what it is, it’s fuel for my body, what I put into my body will show in my results. And Kelly’s words always stick in my head ‘You know that chocolate bar that you want…it’s still going to be there you know when this is over’ – and she’s dead right! I can honestly say I have eaten more food daily in 20 weeks than I’ve probably eaten in about 15 years, but it’s been clean food, lean food. A good mix of carbs, protein and fats. My energy levels have been through the roof! No exaggeration. I could not live without breakfast now, or my 8pm bowl of carbs! I want to feel energised and give my body what it needs to push forward and lift heavier. The exercise has been great, I’ve done half of the challenge at home and half of the challenge in a gym setting, I could not be without the gym now. I’m still nervous and anxious in there, but I’m building on that. I don’t like to miss a session, I like my routine, and when I’m not at the gym I actually would like to be there, those endorphins are addictive! – but like Kelly tells me ‘Your body needs rest, it’s as important as your exercise.’ It’s a great position to be in where exercise is a thrill and not a chore.

Without KM fitness I wouldn’t have achieved my results. I’d be doing a little bit here, a little bit there. I’d be skipping breakfast and excessively eating chocolate on the sofa at night. I’d feel tired and lethargic, and at 33 years old I wouldn’t understand my own body – so yes I would absolutely recommend KM fitness to anyone who will listen. They want the best possible outcome for you, they 100% want to put in as much as you want to get out of your fitness goal. They are hard working on that gym floor and behind the scenes. They are fiercely passionate about their craft and they get so excited for people when they reach their goals! It’s just been faultless from start to finish being under their guidance!”

“I’d done an initial 12 weeks with Kelly to kick start my journey at the gym after doing home workouts since lockdown and seeing no change. After losing the initial body fat I was unhappy with, I enjoyed it so much I decided I wanted to carry on after Christmas.

Kelly sat me down and we discussed in depth what I wanted for my physique, and she suggested a build programme with a cut towards the end to finish before I went on holiday. I was nervous af😂, I thought it would be so complicated and it was really taking me outside of my comfort zone of gym classes and cardio to lifting heavier weights.

I took her advice and off we went, and it’s been the BEST thing I could have done for myself and my training.

Kelly was there every step of the way, any question I had no matter how small or pointless I thought it might be, she always gave me the best advice. You really do need to trust the process and your PT.

The scales never have moved very much for me, I didn’t increase that much during the build phase (building muscle is HARD😂) and I was really worried I wasn’t making much progress, however Kelly kept me feeling motivated and took regular photos of me just to prove that my body was changing, it really doesn’t all matter on the scales.

This was so important for me during the cutting stage as well, as the scales took a while to catch up and start coming down. I could quite easily have quit then, however we took some more photos, Kelly gave me a pep talk and we were back on track!

I’ve loved training, PT, weights and cardio have just become a way of life, I’ve loved having a structured programme to follow. Kelly has been on hand to help me showing me all the different equipment in the gym and has always helped with logging food in MFP.

I’ve always had quite a good knowledge of food but I just needed to know how to manipulate calories and macros for each specific part of my journey which Kelly told me every week in my check in!

I feel incredible, and also feel so happy that I’m not going to go on holiday and ruin all my progress in one week, I can quite easily enjoy myself, be mindful and be back on track after. This is a way of life for me now.

I would 100% recommended Kelly. Her knowledge and guidance has been imperative for my journey, no question is too small or too big and she’s always been on hand to help. I cannot fault her enough, I will miss our weekly gossips and gym wear discussions 😂 thank you so much.”
