Testimonials
From B James - May 2011
From: Alison Sellers
“Sarah has been incredibly inspirational to work with – not only because she totally empathises with you as she too has been overweight, but also because she gives you real solutions to long term weight maintenance. I took her 10 week walking program and really enjoyed the personal one to one sessions with Sarah. She is a mine of information on food too, giving you not only exercise plans but suggested shopping lists, recipes and an easy to follow eating plan.
Her help and support has made our whole family eating healthier and over a year later I am still regularly walking and enjoying the benefits of feeling much healthier and less stressed! I would not hesitate to recommend Sarah’s services to anyone who wants to get fit and also lose weight too!”

I walked with Sarah when I wanted to lose weight and get myself fit.
Sarah possesses a calm, self-assured quality that has an amazing effect on you. She stands beside you every step of the way. Her quiet confidence and valuable tips not only motivate you to success but stay with you for a long time after.
Sarah doesn’t sit around talking about what shes going to do , she just gets up and does it. She leads by example and achievement and is a true inspiration to those around her. She definitely ‘Walks the walk !’
Add to this her refreshing sense of humour and positive attitude, I am delighted to recommend Sarah to my professional contacts, colleagues, and friends without hesitation.
From EW of Chalfont St Giles: February 2011
What can I say about you Sarah? I am so pleased we met for coffee to have a chat 6 weeks ago - you have really helped me get a focus and encouraged me all the way! Losing weight and getting fitter is one thing (or2) but feeling better about myself is already making a difference to me! Having your help and experience is great because you have a true understanding of how I feel and you have made me realise it is achievable if I want it to happen! I am enjoying your company and the walks! Thank you Sarah! You are an inspiration and such a positive role model.
From Elizabeth age 75: Weight Loss 1 stone When I started seeing Sarah I was carrying an extra stone, my food portions were too big and I had got into some bad habits. The only exercise I was getting was walking round the golf course at a leisurely pace. I got into the discipline of walking with Sarah once a week on the flat and at a more active pace and I have kept it up since finishing with her which has really helped me to keep off the stone that I lost. Sarah gave me excellent hints and tips on my eating habits which have really helped me. She was so supportive and enthusiastic about my success and it's been a great incentive not to put it on again. I am delighted to supply this testimonial because you have certainly encouraged me to walk more and watch my weight and I feel so much better for it.
From AH of Gerrards Cross: March 2011
When I was younger, I was always petite and slim and I could eat almost anything I wanted and I wouldn't gain an ounce. At the age of 15 at the same height I am now, I weighed just over 7 and a half stone. I never really had weight problems or self-esteem issues but as I got older, I slowly started putting on weight and when I moved to University, the weight started going up and up. The thing that never changed was my eating habits and obviously being at University, I started to drink more alcohol than when I was at school. I was getting more and more depressed about the way I looked but was always finding excuses not to start eating better or do some more exercise. Looking back, the thing I was scared of was that it would be too difficult and I would give up and go back to the same old habits.
For my 21st birthday, my mum bought me two sessions with Sarah for a weight loss consultation. Sarah was really empathetic and understood what I was feeling because she had been in the same position as me not too long ago. Sarah is a family friend and I remember the transformation that she went through losing her weight so seeing the amazing results she had makes me more motivated to achieve the same thing. The one thing that surprised me the most about my experience with Sarah is that it isn't as difficult as I thought it would be, it is just about making a balance and understanding more about what you put in to your body and how it affects your weight.
I have also found myself enjoying exercise again and I now actually want to get up and do some walking because I feel so satisfied when I do – more than I would if I had snacked away on crisps and junk food. In the first two weeks, I lost over half a stone and even after such a short time my friends and family started to notice the difference.
I'm not yet at the weight that I want to be but I feel so much more positive about losing weight and keeping it off. Even my relationship with food has changed, I don't find myself having junk food cravings as much any more. I would definitely recommend Sarah to someone who wants to lose weight and start living a healthier and more active life. The first steps are the most daunting but once you get started you realise that there was nothing to be scared of in the first place. Sarah – you are amazing!!
From VW of High Wycombe: March 2011
Sarah has helped my daughter to lose weight. My daughter has found it hard to motivate herself and Sarah has really helped to motivate and keep her in the frame of mind of losing weight. Even when my daughter has had a bad day or few days, she has continued to carry on in the right direction with a phone call from Sarah or a weigh in! Not only have you helped my daughter to trim up you have also taken a 'weight' off her mind as well!
From S of Gerrards Cross: April 2010 to July 2010
I've really enjoyed my time with Sarah. In the past I've done running and absolutely hated it but this has been the perfect way to get fit and I've had fun doing it. I do other fitness sessions with another trainer as well but this is the only one I don't dread. I would recommend Sarah to anyone and have done so already. I will definitely be coming back for more.
From Pauline, Beaconsfield - March 2010 - Has lost almost 3 stone.
"Sarah makes losing weight as simple as it's possible to be. She treats each person as an individual, finding what it is that prevents them from maintaining an ideal weight. Together with walking she works with you so you lose weight painlessly. Failure is not in Sarah's vocabulary and so her clients feel accepted, empowered and motivated at all times.
Anyone can lose weight with her and maintain a sensible weight afterwards. Pauline"
From Liz le Poidevin - Lost 1 1/2 stone from May to October 2007
"Without Sarah I would still be thinking about how to get fit and lost weight. She has given me the kick start I needed. I enjoy walking and it is easy to fit into my daily life. I lost my weight using Sarah's regime and it really worked for me. It was easy to follow and I could apply it when I went to restaurants. It has become a way of life for me and I have managed to keep my weight off too."
From: Kay Steadman-Trenear - Lost nearly 2 stone from January 2006 to June 2006. In June 2008 having kept her weight off, Kay returned to me to progress to running.
"I joined Sarah and I started power walking in January 2006. I had just under 2 stone to lose and I reached my goal by June 2006. With Sarah's guidance and help walking has become a way of life for me and now if I do put on a few pounds I know that all I need to do is cut back a bit on my eating and get out walking. I always have Sarah's voice in my head when I get to a particularly steep hill or when I'm feeling tired. I can hear her telling me to pump my arms to give me my momentum and it really works.
I would strongly recommend Sarah to anyone needing to lose weight or simply to get fit."
From: Angela - Has lost 2 1/2 stone so far since January 2007
"Coming to Sarah has been quite life-changing for me. Not only have I shed the weight but I have moved on as a person thanks to Sarah's listening skills and patience. It's a bit like having a counsellor and personal trainer rolled into one and I now look at my weight loss in a positive way and my approach to food has changed."
From: Karen - Has lost 1 stone and 2 lbs since January 2008
"Dear Sarah,
Just a quick note to say I didn’t realise how far I had come with your fitness programme until last Friday when I walked home from work and forgot it was a steep hill. In the past I would certainly huff and puff! As someone who loves their food, it hasn’t always been easy to stick to the diet plan but even if I’ve had a ‘bad’ week you have never been judgemental and I am delighted to say the pounds are coming off even if not as quickly as I would like. Having recently received several compliments and realising my improved fitness I feel excited about the progress I have made and look forward to getting together with you each week.
Best wishes
