Who Is Helen Isaac PT?

“I started my fitness journey 9 years ago, I suffered from low motivation and my mental well-being was at an all-time low. I did not have the confidence to step onto the gym floor, but I found the support I needed in a personal trainer. She taught me that the gym environment could be welcoming and supportive but best of all fun!  I was overweight and after having my beautiful daughter I suffered from postnatal depression but was in complete denial of it! I managed to keep up that facade for a good two years leaning on heavily sugary treats to make me happy but it just made me feel worse! It wasn’t until we were on a summer holiday with my wonderful family and I struggled with a short walk that I realised I needed to make a change… I have never looked back! When you find the perfect personal trainer who completely understands your fears, needs, goals and what inspires you to enhance your life you’ll find enjoyment in life again! I have used this philosophy in my own personal journey and have gained the experience and knowledge to now support others in their journey.  I am fully trained to Levels 2 and 3 in Personal training as well as an experienced life coach. I offer weight loss, muscle gain and nutritional advice. I can support you in confidence towards exercise and within your life. I have Chronic illness experience and support clients with joint pain or low mobility. I will support you no matter what your fitness level, I truly believe everyone should be able to feel the benefits from exercise! In June 2023 I was awarded Best Fitness Instructor for the Muddy Stilettos awards.
