Lucy Birss, Personal Trainer

I decided that I need some help in the fitness-fatness department. A country-change, a new job and a small kitchen have all contributed to a little pudginess. And all the wining and "trying" wasn't cutting it. My hubby was sick of listening to it, so I hired Lucy. I have worked with two trainers in the past (each for 1-year) and Lucy is the best trainer that I have had. Goes above and beyond. She literally runs to get you a water, or to bring over a bench for the next exercise. Runs! She knows her onions, and is careful about building a platform of fitness and strength before loading you beyond your capabilities. She uses Crossfit moves and today, kicked my ass on the rowing machine followed up by kettlebells. Not your traditional (and largely ineffective) "chest and triceps, back & biceps" routine. She is very positive and supportive, and follows up training sessions with emails and helpful hints. She even looked up a food product for me that I was having trouble finding in Sydney. If you want a trainer that listens and adds a TON of value beyond your sessions, Lucy is your gal. And it is all working, which is the bottom line in the end. Top notch.
