I attended a live Rockathon event in the centre of Manchester in April 2023 having tried it online during Covid. I found out Lisa had qualified that day and would be setting up in Cheadle which was the only in-person class I could make in Greater Manchester. It was the start of a new love for movement. I’ve never had the confidence to dance, and it’s helped me feel more confident in myself in general. I’ve made new friendships and a whole community of amazing people 🥹🫶. Everyone is so welcoming and supportive. I look forward to my Thursday ‘after work stress buster’ moving to awesome rock music. You can work at your own level and I’ve also discovered new bands that I wouldn’t have probably heard of without RockFit. It’s a highlight of my week and start of the weekend. I can’t recommend highly enough….is it Thursday yet?

“I love Lisa’s RockFit class. It’s a fun way of keeping fit and Lisa is a very patient teacher! She explains the moves before each track as well as during the routine and doesn’t judge when I go wrong! It’s also broadened my knowledge of music!”

Gil

“I have been going to Lisa’s RockFit session since she started them, and I love them. I have no coordination, but she makes them fun, and I don’t feel self-conscious which I have at other classes. I really look forward to Thursdays now and already feel much fitter.”

Julie

“I first went to Lisa’s Rockfit class just under 2 years ago, I was incredibly nervous as exercise classes for me meant perfect women in designer gear silently judging, how wrong I was! Lisa made me feel so welcome as did the rest of the group, I love the classes, there’s plenty of punching, kicking (not each other) and my type of music but more than anything there’s friendship, support, zero judgement and a feeling of being part of a family.”

Library and Knowledge Service Manager, The Christie Institute for Cancer Education / LIHNN Training Officer

We worked with Lisa to develop a training series for our network members on building confidence, imposter syndrome, and influence and impact. She created a detailed lesson plan built around the objectives we’d discussed and tailored content to the intended audience. She was open to discussions, listened to our training needs, and developed a session that met our requirements whilst maintaining her high training standards with measurable outcomes for attendees. Course feedback was really positive, and attendees told us how informative and enjoyable the training was.

Hazel

I have been working with Lisa to increase my mobility as I was struggling with joint pain, weight gain and a host of other peri-menopause symptoms. It has been completely transformational to work with someone who understands what it feels like to be a hot mess, and the daily fluctuations in ability and enthusiasm. We do 2 training sessions a week and a coaching session, safe at home with a couple of basic weights and exercise bands. I’ve gone from struggling with stairs to bounding up them. I can clearly see and feel the difference, and look forward to my first successful full sit-up! The coaching, training and accountability that Lisa brings, has supported me in losing over 5.5 stone. More importantly it has also brought the joy in movement, and seen the will and ability to live life fully returned to me, when I feared it had been lost.

Lorraine Bramwell

Lisa is a fantastic PT, with a wealth of practical experience and knowledge. She is more than happy to research any specific issues or needs you may have, set personalized objectives, and help you get where you want to go with your fitness and strength. I started training with her 6 years ago, as I was heading towards 50 and wanted to build and maintain muscle strength and bone density. Having never used a gym before, I was nervous to start, but Lisa’s professionalism, plus her warmth and humorous demeanour put me at ease straight away. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone!

Gil Young

Lisa has been my personal trainer since she qualified. I regularly do cardio work at the gym, attend RockFit classes (also run by Lisa and the fun highlight of my week) and go to Pilates classes but as I have got older, I am 57, I wanted to maintain my strength. I wasn’t sure where to start with this and felt very nervous about using weights. I am not very co-ordinated and it can take me a while to master particular exercises. Lisa has been brilliant. She is very patient and explains things very clearly. She has challenged me to do things outside my comfort zone but in a way that is supportive and considerate. She gives you homework which is good for maintaining motivation between sessions and building on the work we do when we are together. I do feel stronger and healthier which is extremely important to me. Lisa is the perfect trainer for those of us who feel apprehensive about undertaking exercise as she understands those feelings and works with them as opposed to against them.

Sarah Curran

I’m a 62 year old woman who decided last year I needed to do some exercise to get the heart pumping and tone up some flabby bits. When I approached Lisa with what I wanted to achieve she listened, asked questions and we started on a programme she developed and which she adapts as necessary. Fast forward a year and I’m still going and feeling much better for it. It’s much more fun than I thought it would be and never a session goes by without some laughter. Do I like all the exercises Lisa gets me to do? No, but I always feel better for doing them! Lisa is a great coach, pushing me when I need it and encouraging me to do things I never thought possible. I would absolutely recommend Lisa to anyone who wants to get fitter and actually enjoy the process at the same time!
