Hello — I’m Carly

Level 3 personal trainer, yoga instructor, nutrition and lifestyle coach. For over ten years I’ve been helping women become the best version of themselves.

Wherever you are on your journey, I have been there

With over ten years’ experience in fitness, believe me when I say that. I struggled with my weight for years, had a terrible relationship with food, and after having my two children I was at my heaviest — and thoroughly fed up of feeling unhealthy and unhappy.

I tried the lot. Every diet, every shake, every pill, every workout going. None of it lasted, because none of it was built to. What I actually needed was a change to how I lived, not another fortnight of doing something I hated.

That change is what has kept working, for years since — physically and mentally. It is also the reason I coach the way I do. I am not going to hand you a diet sheet and wish you luck. We’ll take it one step at a time, make it something you can actually keep doing, and let the small changes add up.

“It’s not a diet. It’s a lifestyle.”

Three things I believe

Fitness isn’t a punishment

Exercise should leave you feeling better, not broken. No punishing workouts and no extreme diets — just training that fits your life and makes you stronger.

The whole woman

PT, yoga, hormones and menopause, nutrition, lifestyle and wellbeing. I look at all of it, because it’s all connected.

Personalised, always

Wellbeing is not “one size fits all”. Your plan is built around you — your body, your week, your goals.

What I’m qualified in

Level 3 Personal Trainer

The qualification that lets me programme and coach one to one, safely, for whatever you’re working towards.

Yoga instructor

Which is why every class is taught properly, not just followed along to.

Nutrition & lifestyle coach

The half of it most people find harder — and where most of the results actually come from.

Opening soon · Balderton

A new studio, designed from scratch

A calm, private space for women, with room for yoga and small-group classes.

Only the best for my girls.

Fitness, yoga, lifestyle

The three sit together on purpose. Strength work without recovery breaks you; recovery without strength doesn’t change much; and neither one survives a life you can’t sustain. So we do all three.

There’s kit too — vests and sweatshirts in white, rust and sage, done in small batches. Ask me if you’d like one.

Coached by Carly clothing: a white vest, a rust sweatshirt and a sage sweatshirt, each printed with the dumbbell and lotus logo.

Let’s talk about what you need

No pressure and no contract. Tell me where you’re at and what you’d like to change, and we’ll work out the right way for you to start.
