I understand it can be really nerve wracking approaching and working with a new trainer - below are some of the reviews I've had from my lovely clients...

Beth
I had tried powerlifting and loved it, but found traditional gyms draining for sensory and social reasons. Previous trainers seemed to take a ‘military’ approach and focus on size and weight. So I was overjoyed when I found Lauren and her private gym, and our sessions have positively changed my relationship with exercise and my body.
I find Lauren to be inclusive in her approach and celebrate diversity and she removes a lot of barriers to exercising for neurodivergent people. Lauren is mindful of adapting the environment to your preferences (noise level/music/lighting) and is very attuned to energy levels-being happy to chat and laugh together (she can be *quite* funny😉) or having a more quiet and relaxed session if I’m talked-out from work. Lauren is sensitive to what I feel able to do on a given day, which is important with chronic health conditions, and I appreciated her high level knowledge of women’s health issues.
I would highly recommend training with Lauren!

“I’ve been training with Lauren for over two years and my self-confidence and strength has grown immensely. Lauren provides an accepting, challenging and celebratory space for people of all abilities, sizes, genders, sexualities, and levels of fitness and is a coach who provides those of us with zero gym or sport experience with a path into fitness. As a queer, neurodiverse, plus-size woman, I never considered setting foot into a gym before I began chatting with Lauren and my time training has been as fun as it has been empowering”.
Katie
"I have been training with Lauren for just over a year now. I wanted to start powerlifting as a hobby but Lauren helped me get strong enough to start competing just after 6 months of training.
Now a little over a year later Lauren has helped me win the A/WPC world championships!
Lauren is so encouraging and reassuring and believes in you when you don't believe in yourself, I couldn't recommend her enough!
Bold body squad is the way forward!"

“Lauren is such a good coach - because of her I have come on leaps and bounds with powerlifting, and now have a real love for the sport. She has really helped me become more confident in the gym and really listens to my thoughts and any issues I'm having when creating my plans. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to get into fitness."

"Lauren is one of the best PT’s I have worked with. Her equipment is brilliant, environment super clean, is extremely knowledgeable and therefore has been able to custom-fit my workout regime based on my needs and body type. I enjoy every single session and walk out feeling accomplished, wanting to better myself at the next session.."
Caroline
“Since working with Lauren I have become much stronger, fitter and more flexible. I have never stuck at gym membership or exercising on my own so Lauren's one to one sessions are perfect for me. My golf game has benefitted from the work we've done and I'm enjoying each session. Lauren has excellent knowledge of the human body and creates bespoke workouts. She keeps it interesting by introducing new exercises and records my progress which is great for motivation. The encouragement Lauren provides keeps me wanting to work harder. I can thoroughly recommend Lauren.”
Chris
"I learnt so much from Lauren who was my PT for just over a year at Taylors Strength. I cannot thank her enough for the patience and encouragement I received from her each session as I overcame my mobility issues. As a bigger lad who was very self conscious at the beginning of my powerlifting journey I have been able to break through those insecurities and that is through the help of Lauren. Thank you."
Laura
"Lauren! I recommend Lauren, I can’t believe how much stronger and happy I feel after a few months of training every session is different and I always feel so much better after going, thank you so much Lauren for helping me with my lifting, strength and confidence xxx."
Alex
"I started training with Lauren in December and my powerlifting has improved so so much in such a short period of time. I really enjoy my sessions and think that Lauren is an excellent coach! I look forward to improving further and have gained a lot of confidence as well as improving my technique and strength since starting training with her! She is very knowledgeable and I would highly recommend her to anyone!"
