Here, you'll find real stories and experiences from people I've had the pleasure of working with. Their journeys inspire me every day and I'm grateful to have been a part of their fitness transformations. I hope their words give you a glimpse into what we can accomplish together and motivate you to take the next steps to wellness.
I’ve been supported by Alena for around six months now and have been doing online sessions at home.
I find the app easy to use and Alena updates the programme so it meets my goals. I like the fact that I have control over when I do the workouts but I’m still accountable by recording my sessions on the app.
I’ve struggled with a shoulder injury for years and normally when any pain reappears I have to stop all exercise and go back to square one. Even though I’ve had a recent flare up, I’ve managed to adapt, pull back but more importantly not give up.
Alena is super supportive and understanding and gives me ideas to adjust my workout for me.
I’m feeling the strongest and fittest I’ve felt in years. I’ve even managed to get through the winter without a cough or a cold. Amazing.

I underwent major brain surgery 10 years ago which left me partially sighted and with other issues, such as poor balance and a general lack of confidence when walking.
After attending several sessions with Alena I can honestly say that it has made a huge difference to my fitness levels. Alena is mindful of my sight limitations and has thoughtfully designed a programme of exercise to meet my specific needs. My weekly sessions have been very successful in improving my strength and balance and I feel very happy with my progress. Alena is very knowledgeable and always demonstrates and explains the purpose and benefits of each exercise. I have regained confidence and now enjoy walking rather than worrying that I might trip and fall.
I would certainly recommend Alena based on the benefits I feel from her training. She is also a very nice person with a great sense of humour!

As a larger lady I have wanted to get fit for awhile however the thought of bouncing round a gym in lycra has always put me off. After seeing an advert on Facebook for Alena I took the plunge and contacted her. We had a great chat where we discussed my concerns and goals, I was made to feel very comfortable and not silly or stupid. My sessions with Alena have been hard work but fun at the same time. I am seeing improvements in posture, energy and physical appearance. Whilst the changes won’t come overnight the encouragement and understanding shown by Alena have really helped me to feel better about myself inside and out…

After undergoing major surgery, my wife was advised to take regular exercise to help with her recovery. The aim was to help improve her general health, mobility and balance.
We saw an ad in our local village magazine and followed this up with a conversation and meeting with Alena to see how she could help.
Straight away my wife was very comfortable and enthusiastic with the approach taken by Alena. She tailored a one to one programme to meet my wife's needs and carefully explained what she was recommending and why.
We are now into month three of a one session a week programme and the results are already clear to see. My wife's fitness, mobility and balance are already improving and this has led to improved confidence and higher energy levels.
Every week my wife looks forward to her session, and to say she is enthusiastic is a bit of an understatement - she absolutely loves it! The programme has been really helpful whilst being fun at the same time.
