Support for older adults who want to regain strength, fitness and confidence.
As we age our bodies change, we begin to lose muscle strength, bone strength and cardio fitness; this can restrict our day to day activities if we don’t take action to manage this change. It’s easy to become more sedentary, sitting more and walking less – particularly if you are reducing work hours and use the car regularly. We put on weight and lose core muscle strength so it’s harder to move around, get out of chairs or climb stairs.
When you come to me, we start with a conversation about what you are wanting to change and what you need. I undertake some assessments and then design a program specifically focused on you and your needs. We can look at your nutrition, work on muscle strength at your level or even just develop a walking program.
I have helped clients lose weight, walk without a frame, regain balance and walking fitness or simply regain the ability to stand up out of a chair independently.
Many individuals feel nervous and uncertain about using a gym– I did too when I was getting started. My aim is to introduce people to how to access a gym, show you how to lift safely and develop your own exercise habit leading you to feel physically and mentally strong deep into later life.
I work out of a small gym in Colwick called Real World Fitness. It is very quiet, and friendly, many of the clients are older and about half of the clientele are women. One of my clients calls it his sanctuary. We want you to feel healthier, happier, more independent and more confident.

Customer Reviews
In 2023, I decided, that it was time for me to reassess my general health and fitness. Since then, I have lost nearly a stone in weight and my overall fitness has improved, she has inspired me to train, but has allowed me to do it at my own pace. Chris has pushed me when necessary and has kept in touch making sure I’m ok. She has continued to support me by providing new routines every month or so, ensuring my improvement. We talked about my goals at the beginning of this journey, and I have reached them all and gone further, I firmly believe that without her help and encouragement I would not have achieved the level of success that I have. I highly recommend Chris as a trainer.
