SRS Fitness - Personal Training

SRS Fitness - Personal Training Experienced PT with my own private studio and a passion for health, fitness and nutrition. I love helping people improve their lives and gain confidence.

SRS Fitness - Based from my private, fully equipped studio in Welwyn I provide one to one or "partner" training sessions for busy people who are looking for someone who understands the ever-changing demands of work, family commitments and life. A little bit about me... ​ I am a member of the Register of Exercise Professionals (REPs) and gained my NVQ Level 2 “Fitness Instructor” and NVQ Level 3 “Personal Trainer & Business Planning” qualifications through Lifetime Training – the largest training provider within the health and fitness sector delivering the greatest number of apprenticeships and NVQ programmes as well as being the first in the leisure sector to achieve the Training Quality Standard. I also hold a Level 5 Diploma in Advanced Sports & Exercise Nutrition which I completed this year. To further my studies and broaden the services I can offer I have just begun a diploma in cognitive behavioural therapy alongside a second diploma in shiatsu massage. ​ I set up SRS Fitness in 2013 to enable me to provide a truly "personal" service, not affiliated with any commercial gym, allowing me to run my business in line with my own vision and values. I firmly believe health and fitness should be available to all and I am also a huge advocate of exercise and its benefits when living with depression and anxiety. I have an established, long term client base and gain more than 50% of my clients through word of mouth and recommendations. This is because client satisfaction is paramount to me and, I believe, critical to the long term success of my business. I strive to provide an outstanding service and have measures in place to ensure I can regularly gather feedback regarding the quality of service I provide. I have significant and current experience of working with children and young people as well as those with sports specific goals, older clients and of course, both male and female clients from a variety of backgrounds. ​ I employ a number of strategies in order to improve your fitness, overhaul your diet (as necessary) and help you achieve the physique you are striving for whilst also taking into account your whole wellbeing. My approach is firm but encouraging. I will be available to support you all the way - not just during our sessions. In return I expect absolute commitment from each client. ​

🧡Fat Loss Fails for the Same Reasons Every Time

After 13 Years as a PT, I’ve seen and heard it all. I’ve coached hundreds of people young and old, male and female from all walks of life and these are the most common fat loss mistakes ….

🥩 NUTRITION MISTAKES
1️⃣ Overeating
2️⃣Guesstimating your calorie intake (Overeating)
3️⃣ Treating your fitness tracker like gospel and eating every “burned” calorie back (Overeating)
4️⃣Mistaking dehydration for hunger (Overeating)
5️⃣Nibbling all day then gorging at night
(Overeating)
6️⃣Thinking salad is a suitable meal *
(Under-eating which leads to overeating)

🏃‍♀️ TRAINING MISTAKES
1️⃣Blaming everything but your own behaviours (hormones/finances/energy/time etc)
2️⃣Not training with any plan/structure, proper focus and intensity
3️⃣Worrying weight training will make you “bulky” so doing endless cardio to “burn calories” *

🧠 🪴 MINDSET/ENVIRONMENTAL MISTAKES
1️⃣Giving little to no consideration to your environment and surroundings (set them up for maximum success)
2️⃣Relying on “willpower” rather than habits
3️⃣Waiting for the “right time”

*Lettuce, cucumber and tomatoes in a bowl is NOT a meal

**Cardio burns calories at the time, strength training burns calories during and after

If fat loss feels “hard”, it’s usually not effort; it’s strategy.

🧡THE GYM IS FINISHED!

It was the gift that kept on giving.

I stripped everything out of the gym in the few days I had off before Christmas.

I cleaned, sanded, filled, painted and put in the work to get everything just how I wanted.

In went the new ski erg - love it!

Last job of all was the wall of mirrors (you’ve gotta be able to watch yourself flex!).

Here’s just a few pictures I thought I’d share with you all along with my sincere gratitude that the job is now finished 😂

🧡I DON’T KNOW WHY I’M NOT LOSING WEIGHT
(And that’s completely understandable)

Weight loss isn’t about being lazy or lacking willpower. It’s usually about a few small, overlapping factors that add up over time:

👉🏻Evening snacking can happen when you’re under-fuelled, stressed, or overtired not because you’re “undisciplined.”
👉🏻Portion sizes are easy to underestimate (even with healthy foods).
👉🏻Highly processed foods are designed to override hunger cues.
👉🏻Exercise isn’t just about burning calories; strength training helps protect muscle and metabolism.
👉🏻Carbs and fats aren’t the enemy; total intake, food quality, and consistency matter more than cutting entire food groups.
👉🏻Daily movement (like walking) plays a big role in energy balance and health.
👉🏻Protein helps with fullness, muscle retention, and blood sugar regulation.
👉🏻Sugar cravings are often a signal (poor sleep, restriction, stress), not a personal failure.
👉🏻Liquid calories are easy to consume without feeling full.
👉🏻Fat loss requires a calorie deficit but:
Too small = no progress
Too long = fatigue, stalled results, hormonal stress

🔑 Bottom line:
Fat loss works best when it’s supported, not forced.
Enough food. Enough protein. Enough recovery.

A plan you can actually stick to without burning out.
