As a PT I like to keep my weekly workouts fresh and varied for my clients as well as for myself.

I follow quite a few pages on instagram for inspiration. Here are my top five, in no particular order:

Bradley Simmonds, he is PT in West London. He posts some great workout videos @bradleysimmonds
Faisal, he is a Barrys Bootcamp teacher as well as many other things looking at his page, he posts some nice workout videos @faisalpmafitness
TRX Training – TRX is a great piece of kit and always to great to get inspiration from the companies page with their videos @trxtraining
Brian Keane, he is a PT over in Ireland and posts some good content @brian_keane_fitness
Hyperwear, I love sandbells! Check out their videos of ideas to use them @hyperwear

Hope you enjoy checking these out. We have bi weekly workout videos on our social media @kbpt and also on youtube.

After a year of knee and shoulder issues, I knew I needed to get stronger and found KB Personal Training. Kate was fantastic on our video call, gathering all the right details from me and touching base with my physio afterwards to create a tailored rehab and strength program. I was matched with Sasha, an incredible trainer and person, and have been training with her for over five months now. The progress has boosted my confidence, and training is easy as Sasha comes to my Hackney flat, with the option to meet in Victoria Park on nice days. I'm so grateful to both Kate and Sasha and would highly recommend them!

So happy with my personal trainer! Helen really considers what I need and provides sessions to suit. Kate always checks that I'm satisfied. A lucky find!

I had PT training with Sammie during my second pregnancy and it really helped me to stay fit in the run up to the birth as well as helping me to mentally feel prepared. Sammie is really great and friendly, she makes you feel confident and not at all insecure about your fitness! And Kate is very responsive. I’d highly recommend.

I worked with Terri for 5 months ahead of my wedding. She taught me so much about my form & has genuinely changed the way in which I exercise. And she is so lovely & always put me at ease!

After an initial assessment, Kate got me started with Lauren and my rehabilitation journey couldn’t have been better! Getting fitter and stronger every day, the team sure know what and how to do it!

KBPT is awesome! I've been working with Lauren for a few months now and love how encouraging she is, and how much she believes in me to push myself beyond what I thought was possible. I can carry that attitude beyond fitness too! You're the best, Lauren :)

I've been training with Kasia in Stratford for four months now. As a complete beginner to the gym, I braced myself to have a miserable, injury-ridden time. Instead, I've been met with unique, diverse and creative workouts carefully planned by Kasia around my abilities and schedule. Her vibrant energy, encouragement and guidance have made working out a safe and - dare I say - genuinely fun experience for me. Already, my mental health is improved, I feel stronger than ever, and more consistent with healthy habits even outside our weekly sessions.Kate seems to have gathered a team of really excellent trainers. KBPT/Kasia have completely transformed my fitness/wellbeing journey!

Laura Norman

18:48 01 Jul 24

I’ve been working with Lauren weekly for around 6 months now and I feel so much fitter and stronger. Lauren is empathetic, deeply knowledgable and supportive. I feel totally safe, and it’s a judgement free zone. Totally recommend it!

Kate Bucukoglu

My personal trainer Elena is amazing !!! So supportive, always adjusting my plan to fit my needs and helping me stay on top of my goals. I’ve been training in the Gympods and they’re great for privacy!

I had PT sessions with Sammie in Hackney since last September, and could not recommend working with her and Kate more. Kate is responsive and easy to work with. Sammie is a wonderful PT - she was clear on what my objectives were, and pushed/ challenged me to achieve these while also being very supportive. She also brings lots of fun and energy to any session which is a great bonus!

Alicene Alcindor

18:21 09 May 24

Since training with KBPT my fitness, strength levels and overall wellbeing- have greatly improved. My PT Sammie has been fantastic in tailoring the workouts to suit my abilities while pushing me in ways where I have even surprised myself. I was able to more than double my rep counts within 1 minute after 10 weeks. I am in better shape now than I have been in years. I highly recommend!! (I am located in Hackney E5)Thank you KBPT!!!!!!

Katie Green

09:02 01 May 24

The (all women 🙌) team at KBPT put me at ease immediately with a really positive and thorough assessment of my needs and goals. Since then, both trainers I have seen in the Shoreditch area have been motivating, engaging and got me working! Dietary advice has been a huge bonus too. Would recommend to anyone who is sick of the gym or needs some help achieving fitness goals.

Tali St

08:45 01 May 24

I've been training with KBPT for about 18months now and the trainers I've worked with are all fantastic! The workouts I get are fun and engaging while increasing my overall fitness. Each workout clearly takes my various physical issues into consideration, and has flexibility to be adjusted to my fluctuating energy levels (damn long Covid/perimenopause!). It is clear that the trainers know their stuff! I choose to take my training outdoors, and love the motivation to get out of the home office in the middle of the week. It's great for my mental and physical health, highly recommend!

Can't recommend this team enough! It's been really a pleasure working out twice a week since I started with Hannah a couple of months ago, and I can see the progress day by day.

Jana Archs

22:21 04 Dec 23

I've been training with KBPT in Well Street Common (or at home sometimes) during my pregnancy and now after having my son. It was very important for me to get stronger to prepare for labour, and it definitely paid off. I've trained with 3 different PTs and they've all been great and very accommodating, specially now that schedules are tricky with my little one.

Lauren Martin

I’ve been training with KBPT for 6 months now and I absolutely love it.My PT Helen makes me feel so comfortable and she makes working out enjoyable.I really love it and can’t imagine not having this time for myself anymore.

I began my postpartum fitness and weight loss journey with KBPT a few months ago and am extremely happy with them. I've come such a long way from where I began thanks to the care and attention to detail paid by the trainers. This is my first experience with personal trainers and I am grateful I chose KBPT to begin my fitness journey.

We approached KB Personal Training earlier this year to arrange for a PT to come to us. We were quickly matched to Hannah who is a really great PT. I have a number of injuries from a road accident and Hannah manages to work well and sensitively with them.KB, in my experience are a very professional company to work with. I would recommend

Sophie Vickers

13:10 25 Sep 23

Helen is a fantastic trainer, she pushes to just the right degree, and motivates me to work in a way that I could never do under my own steam. I love working with her outside in Clissold Park and she brings all the equipment we need for a challenging but fun workout. The hour goes by in a flash and never feels like a chore. She has an amazing energy and is a lovely person to distract / chat to!

I contacted Kate 2 years ago in the depths of despair following a gruelling couple of years of cancer treatment. I was weak, and afraid to even pick up a bin bag for fear of hurting myself. Kate hooked me up with the lovely Helen on her team, herself a cancer survivor. She’s been training me once a week since, mostly outdoors and I can happily report I’m now able to put the bins out, and so much more. Stronger, fitter, healthier, and mentally better too. Thanks KBPT!

I've been training with Hannah from KBPT for a year now - primarily in Victoria Park. I initially signed up for help with recovery from surgery for a slipped disk. Hannah is lovely and helped me rebuild strength and return to an active lifestyle. I've since run the London Marathon and, with Hannah's help, hit my target of under 4 hours.

Sondhya Gupta

09:23 03 Jul 23

I've been amazed at the impact of my sessions with Helen. She's been working with me for 18months now as I recover from cancer treatment. I used to hate exercise (school PE has a lot to answer for) and would never have thought I'd get a personal trainer, let alone enjoy it as much as I do!

My partner and I have been having sessions with Donna in Leytonstone for three months. We were total beginners, and have always felt a bit intimidated by working out and not really known where to begin.We're so glad we found Donna at KBPT - she introduced us to strength training, and created a personal plan for us including supporting us with healthy eating. Week on week we've noticed an improvement in our general fitness, and Donna has been hugely supportive in helping us push further each time.We never thought that we'd enjoy working out, but training with Donna has transformed our approach to our health and general wellbeing. We would highly recommend KBPT!

I've been training with Ilka every week for about a year now. We train in Haggerston park, and sometimes the gym in winter. Really enjoy the sessions. Lots of variety, challenging but fun and I feel so much stronger. Definitely recommend.

Gisele Toledo

13:18 16 Jun 23

I’ve been training twice a week with Ilka since Feb at my place in Shoreditch and love it. I feel happier, stronger and for the 1st time in my life I can perform proper push ups! After away from exercising for 2y I needed help to feel motivate again. Ilka has a positive attitude, is alive, fun, knowledgeable. Highly recommend KB Personal Training

Yanran Yao

11:08 15 Jun 23

The PT Ilka is super effective, supportive and professional. We usually trained at home but also can do it outside at London fields. After three months, I am much stronger and healthier. Super job !

I have been training with Donna at KBPT since December 2021. The sessions take place in my home, in the London borough of Waltham Forest.Donna is amazing. She is encouraging, fair, firm and has a good sense of humour. She knows my fitness ability and she’ll challenge me if needed. We have had sessions in the park during the summer. Donna has offered healthy eating advice. She has provided me with homework when requested.Initially it felt quite indulgent having a trainer. It been worth it! I’m grateful that Donna’s my trainer. My stamina and confidence has massively improved since training with her.

I have the honor and the privilege to be trained by Sammie from KBPT. Not only that she's a true professional, working with her is always such an uplifting and motivating experience. A real treat to look forward to during the week. Sammie, with her positive approach, attention to details and great sense of humor, just cares about her clients, and it is no less important than doing sit-ups. Needless to say, that the results can be seen and felt in a very short time. Therefore I highly recommend KBPT in general and Sammie specifically.

Valerie Delforge

08:48 02 May 22

The best investment I did for myself, from the thorough consultation to the weekly zoom PT session, I love it! Thank you KB team, you are all wonderful!

Bronwyn Fieldgate

03:16 20 Apr 22

Been working with Sammie from KBPT for about 6 months and it's been brilliant. I feel like I really lucked out finding a PT that is challenging, knowledgeable, motivating and hilarious. Love our sessions and look forward to them, which is a huge change from how I used to think about fitness. Cannot recommend enough!!

Selina Parmar

15:07 18 Mar 22

Have been working with Lauren over the past year, who has been helping me to work on my strength and meet my fitness goals. I always look forward to our sessions, can't recommend enough!

I've been working with KBPT since September 2021. 7 months on, it's the fittest I've ever felt - i absolutely love it esp my PT Sammy!

Louise Greenwell

08:56 29 Oct 21

I've been training with Sammie at KBPT for 6 months now and can't recommend her highly enough. She works me really hard each session but we always have a laugh too :) I've seen a massive improvement in my fitness + muscle tone and now can't imagine life without my twice-weekly workouts. Thanks Sammie!

I've been training with Eva at KB for a year and I love it. Eva is so high energy and fun to work out with, I feel great after every session and find it motivating to keep it up for the rest of the week. All the sessions are tailored to my goals and I'm seeing real results. It's also amazing to be outside in the park too, good for the mind as well as the body.

Kirsty Henderson

11:07 16 Jul 21

I’ve been training with Eva at KBPT for about a year now. It’s the most fun I’ve ever had working out - she tailors all her sessions to me and has just the right mix of pushing and praise to keep me going. I used to dread exercise, but now I look forward to our sessions every Thursday. Best investment I ever made :)

Viviana Spaghetti

08:26 11 Jul 21

Best decision I have made! Smooth communication with Kate who carried out the initial consultation and I’m now into my 12 months training with Helen, she is truly amazing and helped me stay motivated (and sane!) during lockdown. Highly recommended!

Sarah Bowen

12:19 23 Jun 21

Kate and her team are a incredible motivators, passionate about what they do and it shows! I'm hopeless at sticking to health and fitness regimes, and they make me accountable, help me make healthier choices and make the whole experience fun. I actually look forward to training now! Can't recommend highly enough, especially now you can workout with them online, they come with you anywhere!

Gillian Mathias

10:04 21 Jun 21

I have been doing remote session with KBPT for over a year and have thoroughly enjoyed the variation and being pushed in my sessions. Sessions are tailored to how much I want to get out of them, which has been great over a very stressful year.

Rachel Grunbaum

13:49 24 Dec 20

Kate and her team are wonderful! They are friendly and skilled. I enjoy my training sessions and am seeing results sooner than I expected. Thank you for making me feel healthier and stronger!

Sinead

I've been training with KBPT for 6 months now and I'm loving it. My trainer Lauren is great. I have moved house recently which means I can't train outdoors with Lauren so we do it online and it's still great. The transition to online was seamless. It also gives me flexibility - when I'm on holiday I don't miss a session as I can do it online. Likewise when Lauren is on holiday the team always finds a trainer to cover my session and they're just as fab as Lauren. All in all I'd really recommend and I feel so much stronger and fitter since starting with them.

Lady Mazurus

19:58 17 Dec 20

I’ve been having sessions with Helen from KB Personal Training for about four months now and very much recommend it. I am very much a beginner who needed to get her fitness levels up. The sessions are well-planned and Helen is positive and supportive, pushing me just enough to get the most out of each one. The difference I’ve managed to achieve is really startling, not just in how much more toned my body is but how much stronger and fitter I feel. I have tried other trainers in the past but this is by far the most positive and professional experience I have had.

Helen Weaver

13:00 16 Sep 20

I highly recommend the KBPT Team! They totally get what you want and the results are always bang on!

Holly Dwyer

Absolutely love training with KTPT! Would definitely recommend !

Kate Maconie

10:53 14 Sep 20

So glad I found KBPT, I really struggled during lockdown with low motivation and stress. Starting training has really helped me both mentally and physically. Highly recommended to anyone thinking of this.

Katie Barrett

10:11 14 Sep 20

KBPT has given me back my confidence! During lockdown I found it hard to motivate myself to get out and about and I had put on quite a bit of weight which knocked my confidence a lot. I was able to meet my trainer, Sarah, in the park each week and she really pushed me to my limits! The workouts she created are tough and challenging, but they are so much fun and I made a friend in the process. I've definitely got my mojo back and feel motivated to get fitter! Highly recommend KBPT to anyone who wants to get fit whilst having fun.

Amy Morris-Furman

09:18 30 Jun 20

I love training with KBPT. I had a regular trainer before lockdown who was reliable and there was always cover when she was unavailable. During lockdown Kate ensured I continued to have (online) sessions. Just about to go back to face to face and the whole process has been so smooth.Sessions are very varied, I am never bored. My mental and physical fitness has never been better. So happy with my progress with KBPT!

Helen Foot

16:05 15 Jun 20

Amazing training. I feel fitter, stronger and happier since starting my programme. It’s been a life-saver during lockdown.

Rachel Nunn

15:57 15 Jun 20

I had been training with Lauren at KBPT for a few months before the pandemic. Lauren is knowledgeable, enthusiastic and very attuned to my sports injuries without allowing me to take it easy! When the pandemic hit, Kate took over my PT online, at first I was very reluctant but Kate very quickly put me at ease and I was able to seamlessly continue my training. In fact, due, in part to Kate and Lauren's inspiration, I have got fitter and stronger during lockdown and enjoy my sessions more than ever. I recently ran a half marathon for the first time in a decade. Both my trainers have excellent knowledge and training and are able to adapt those to my personal training needs. I have loved my time training with both Kate and Lauren and cannot recommend KBPT enough!

Eldrid Herrington

12:25 10 Jun 20

Fantastic, supportive, tailored training - I needed physical therapy and KBPT has done a superb job. Huge thanks to Kate and Lauren for their specialist help and especially for their amazing encouragement.

Leah Shimabukuro

00:53 10 Jun 20

I’ve loved training with KBPT. I worked with Sarah and Kate and both have been amazing. I started while I was pregnant and started back up again after having my fist child and it’s been great to have such support during and after my pregnancy. I switched to online courses during Covid and that was great because I didn’t have to worry about getting out of the house and my little one could play with all her toys while I got my work out in and my trainer kept me on track. Absolutely could not recommend them more!

Michelle Pereira

20:41 09 Jun 20

I’ve been training with KBPT for the past year and loved it. I’ve become fitter, stronger and definitely have more stamina.

Kate Simon

14:18 09 Jun 20

Kate and her team are just superb. I’ve been training with Kate and others for a year and a half and the change I’ve seen in my fitness and strength is very very noticeable. I started off training ‘face to face’ but since COVID all of my sessions have been entirely using FaceTime. I’ve been training ‘virtually’ for around 4months now and honestly I’m not sure I’ll go back to ‘in person’. I get all of the focus, effort and impact from the training as usual - but without the travel time! Feels an even more efficient use of time but still with all the benefits! Can’t recommend KBPT enough - especially training virtually!

Kate Parlett

12:15 19 Mar 20

I’ve trained with KBPT for over two years and for the past year, have been training with Kate (and others from time to time) via skype or facetime. It's been invaluable to train with them via skype when I've been travelling for work or working from home - it means I can stay on top of my fitness without leaving the house! They are terrific at devising challenging workouts - either using equipment that I have at home, or simply using body weight. They are very open to listening to your goals and helping you achieve them. They take a holistic approach to fitness, lifestyle and health - both physical and mental. I enthusiastically recommend them!

Working with the KBPT team, especially Helen has been an absolute dream. I had lost so much confidence in my fitness and ability after a horrible ex personal trainer experience. I looked up KBPT online and from the moment I made contact, felt such a warm and open line of communication. Helen assured me on all my anxieties from start, and since has helped me to lose inches off my body in a sustainable and healthy method. The sessions are always fun, and different, the team are flexible to wherever I need to work out with my hectic lifestyle (home or park). And the expertise is very clear in each session, I have gone from strength to strength and this is all why I have just rebooked more sessions with Helen. Thank you KBPT for your expertise, inspiration and empowerment to women.

I have been training with Sophie at KBPT for the last 2 months. It’s been a great experience, not only in terms of increasing my fitness, but also helping my confidence grow in a non judgmental environment. Cannot recommend it enough!!! x

Kirstie Lannon

15:41 08 Apr 19

I have been very happy with my personal training sessions with Sophie at KBPT. I appreciate her keen eye to proper technique, her ability to push my training abilities, and the overall atmosphere at the studio.I would not hesitate in recommending anyone who wants to get their health and fitness back on track to give KBPT a try! Definitely worth it.

Saba Danish

21:40 04 Feb 19

Training with Lotta, one of Kate’s team, has been utterly transformative. Her approach is thoughtful, pragmatic and highly bespoke. As a mum of two with a demanding career, time is a complete premium; Lotta’s sessions are rigorous and efficient and she pushes me to achieve my absolute best. She helped get me back into shape after my second c-section through a training programme designed to enhance my overall fitness, but with a focus on the areas I felt needed most attention after childbirth. She is inspiring and encouraging, tough when she needs to be, but with such warmth of personality and spirit that she makes training a real pleasure. The studio space at Netil House is pleasantly compact, excellently equipped and never crowded. I can’t recommend Kate and team highly enough.

Helen Carter

18:51 27 Jan 19

I've been training with KBPT for about 6 months now and love the personal touch. It's hard work and Helen keeps me on track, but i feel she knows me and what my body can handle. I'm going to keep going to reach my goals this year!

Kristina Scott

16:48 25 Jan 19

Amazing personal trainers. Been training with Lauren since 2015. My sessions are tailored to my goals and are challenging but not to the point of injury. Sessions are varied and there's lots of equipment in the studio to keep things fresh. They even do Skype training! Highly recommended!

Helen New

"We train with the brilliant Hayley at KBPT. She's excellent. No session is ever the same, she's always mixing things up and keeping things interesting, so time flies by. We’re not natural fitnesss fanatics, but we're having a lot of fun getting healthier and stronger without being shouted at.

Dani Vincent

11:47 06 Nov 18

I've been training with Wiki at KBPT since the summer and I can't believe how much stronger and fitter I've become. In the first couple of months I saw dramatic changes to my body and am now fitting in to clothes that have been at the back of my wardrobe for years. I always look forward to my sessions; they follow a structure but are always challenging and different. Wiki is amazing and so supportive and I had the pleasure of training with Hayley when she was on holiday. I would recommend KBPT to anyone, it's been the best investment I've made in a long time!

Charlotte Bowyer

17:43 21 Oct 18

I've been training with KB PT for about six months now, and can honestly say it's been one of the best decisions I've made when it comes to my fitness. I was already exercising regularly, but had just become very bored and demotivated by what I was doing. I came to KB PT for help with taking my fitness to the next level, and just to do something different. Kate has been great from the beginning - she's so enthusiastic and supportive and really listens to what you want to get out of it. She helps to make the training fun, as well as motivating you to put in 100%. It's been great for my fitness to do different things every week, and I've never felt fitter. Would highly recommend!

Fantastigirl Fantastic

08:59 20 Oct 18

KBPT is great. They really listen to your needs and your objectives and work with you (without shouting at you) to help you achieve your goals. Strength training with them has changed my life - working with them made me fitter and stronger with more energy. I highly recommend them.

Liane Cleril-Fontaine

19:23 19 Oct 18

Best decision I made. I had been lazy about exercise but Helen has been supportive and even made it enjoyable. Worth every penny

Cornelia Givissi

18:57 19 Oct 18

What can I say about KBPT! The energy! The motivation! The body positive and friendly attitude! The results!!! I started training in January with a loose goal to get more in shape before my wedding, however I have gained so much more. Apart from gaining greatly in strength and stamina and losing some weight, I have found myself more invested in fitness and exercise than I've ever been in my life. My trainer saw me through a tricky surgery in May and helped in my recovery, I was really confident on my wedding day and continuing strong with further goals to start running and incorporate exercise into my life even further. I also really appreciated the approach to nutrition and a healthy balance in life and I am finding myself making consistent changes that are maintained. I cannot speak highly enough of the whole experience, it's truly worth it!

Natasha Carolan

12:51 19 Oct 18

Really love training with KBPT. We've been training with KBPT for around 6 months at this point and fully recommend them for injury-aware training, they have also been great at accommodating our travel. We train in a pair when we are both in town and have Skype sessions while travelling which has been really good for our fitness. We are both at different levels of fitness (and motivation) and the KBPT team have been able to accommodate that and keep us both on track. I personally wasn't into PT at the beginning and got dragged along by my partner, KBPT somehow managed to get me to the point of liking personal training. Fully recommend.

Hannah Brodrick

11:20 19 Oct 18

I have been training for 3 months with KBPT now and have had a wonderful time. Wiki, my trainer is lots of fun and super good at motivating me and keeping the workouts interesting and varied so I look forward to every session!

10:36 19 Oct 18

KBPT is great if you want to kick-start a fitness programme - my trainer is awesome, so positive and encouraging as I heave and whinge my way through the exercises. The hour seems to fly by and I always feel great after! Highly recommended.

Roisin O'Brolchain

14:23 06 Jul 18

Joining KB personal training was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! Wiki is such a fantastic and supportive trainer. I never dread going to my sessions which was always a concern before for me. I cannot believe the difference in my shape. I also had a back injury and Wiki is able to advise me on the right exercises to not only protect my back but strengthen it. People have started commenting on how different I look, which is really encouraging. I’m seeing this is a lifestyle change rather than a quick fix. Couldn’t recommend KB personal training more.

Been training with Abbie at KBPT since January. I was pretty much a starting out with fitness and wanted to go somewhere that wasn't intimidating to try and get a routine going and improve strength and fitness. Love our sessions despite the early start! Abbie is lovely and really manages to make it fun by varying what we do in each session. She always ensures I'm doing the exercises with proper form too which I'd have no clue about without her - it's harder than it looks!The studio is great - non-intimidating for beginners- but really well equipped with everything you could need and comfortable soft floors to train on. I've definitely become fitter this past few months and stronger. There is also the option of a lovely relaxing yoga session with Sarah on a Sunday afternoon. Definitely recommend KBPT.

Amanda Berrisford

I've been training with KBPT since Summer last year with the amazing Helen and its been worth every penny! Especially training in the studio over the Winter as my friends were giving up on exercise and giving in to the festive Season, Helen always kept me exercising and motivating. She is sympathetic to my woes but doesn't allow me to slack off which is exactly what I needed.I've also overcome my fear of working out in a public place and now really enjoy our sessions in the Park and don't feel self conscious as I once did. I started as a size 22 and now down to a Size 18 well on my way to my goal weight, my fitness has improved enormously! Thanks to these excellent women.

I came across KBPT when searching for a personal trainer to help me get fit again after pregnancy, and I am so glad that I did!I really look forward to my weekly sessions with Kate - no two are ever the same which keeps things interesting, and she is great fun to chat to as well. It's an hour every week which is just for me, and I always feel fantastic afterwards.I've seen real results - losing inches and improving my fitness level - but most importantly Kate has helped me do this in a gradual, safe and sustainable way alongside nutritional advice which has created good healthy habits for the future.

I've been training with KBPT for over a year now and absolutely love it. My sessions with Wiktoria are structured yet varied, so I don't get bored, and we make the most of so many different types of equipment (TRX, dumbbells, kettle bells, Swiss ball, BOSU, you name it). Wiktoria knows exactly how to get the most out of me, ensuring I don't give up, even during the most gruelling of routines. I'm always pushed to the limit and the results are obvious - I've lost weight, I feel in great shape and I am frequently told how much more toned I look.

came across KBPT when I was searching for a trainer who could help me get fitter and lose weight despite some complex injuries. Helen, my trainer for the last 6months, has been absolutely fantastic. She works me hard (I am so much fitter and slimmer now) but with kindness and good humour, as well as flexibility. Plus having my trainer come to me at home means there's no excuse for me to skip my sessions. This is the best investment I've made in my health and wellbeing in a long time, and I heartily recommend Kate's team to anyone looking for intelligent, rigorous but above all fun personal training

Helen has helped me enormously getting my fitness back. She always has new routines so it is never boring and has an infectiously positive attitude. Very glad I found you!

When I first signed up, I told myself that I'd just train for 6 months at most as a way to kick start my exercise routine. In April I will be celebrating my THREE YEAR anniversary training with Kate and team!! They are absolutely the personal best trainers in East London, and are also just really lovely people. I love training each week with Kate, she works me hard but always whilst having a great chat (well, only when I can breath properly. You can't chat whilst doing burpees!). I couldn't recommend them enough!

I've been training at KB PT for the last 6 months. My main trainers have been Kate and Hayley (who are both so fantastic) but I have been trained by the other girls too. All of the trainers are very good at what they do - each session is structured, well thought out and most of all - really good fun. I wanted to get back into running again and build exercise back into my life and I feel that Kate and Hayley have been really proactive in encouraging me to do this, giving me the push that I really needed. I could not recommend KB PT highly enough.

A consultative approach to fitness, whatever your goals KB PT will get you there. A team of passionate, knowledgeable, fun and down to earth instructors. They keep things Fresh by varying the program so that you don’t get bored and just get stronger and learn more.They listen and understand your needs whatever level you are at so whether you are a tip top athlete, beginner or coming back from injury they will make it work for you. I highly recommend them.

I started training with Kate about 10 months ago to gain upper body strength and get fit. I rarely exercised and never found it enjoyable until NOW!! My body has changed in such a short period of time and I feel the best I've ever felt. Kate has taught me that exercise can be fun when you find what you like doing and its so different for everyone. I now rely on my weekly sessions especially after a holiday! Kate is so encouraging and upbeat each session and not only a great PT but has become a friend. I Couldn't recommend KB Personal Training enough!

I started training with Kate to help build and maintain my strength and fitness when I became self-employed and in the lead up to getting married. I couldn't recommend Kate and her team more highly. I have never felt so strong and so fit and we have never focused on "losing weight" or "calories". Really flexible training service - I love working out at the studio and also at home when I need to, to suit my diary. Kate is a joy to train with - fun, positive, upbeat and practical. She pushes me but also sets realistic and achievable goals. Can't rate highly enough!

I started training with Kate after having surgery and chemotherapy and wanting to 'get my body back'. She got me back running, cycling and I did my first duathlon in September 2016. She is super friendly and the studio always has a positive atmosphere, whatever your shape and fitness levels. Kate is great at setting goals and keeping you motivated, and has more energy than anyone I have ever met!

Love KBPT! I've been training with Kate throughout my pregnancy and I'm feeling stronger than ever. There is always a friendly atmosphere in the studio and all the trainers I met are fun and professional.

I’ve been training with Rowena for over a year. I love the relaxed, friendly and non pretentious vibe of the studio at Netil House. I love that there are no machines but loads of really interesting bits of kit to keep the training sessions varied. It’s really important for me to have a regular monitored session around any other fitness I may or may not be doing. Rowena is aware of my injury issues and is always keeping on top of ways to improve them. Rowena is an absolute joy to train with – always encouraging, good fun and full of energy, even when I’m not (a lot of the time). I would recommend KBPT to anyone wanting to get back on track with their fitness in a relaxed and supportive environment, whilst having a bit of a laugh. Thanks loads to Rowena, Kate and the whole crew.

I've had the pleasure (and good type of pain!) to be able to train with Kate, Caroline, Nicki and Rowena at various stages of the last few years. These wonderful women are not only great at what they do but they are passionate and fantastic examples of finding your own way to enjoying a fit, fun and balanced lifestyle!

I have been training with the lovely Nicky since before Christmas in readiness for my wedding. She has been fantastic. She makes burpees and sprint drills fun (almost!) and has been a breath of fresh air every time I go to the studio. I have lost cms and have been getting PBs in my races so it's definitely working. It's clear that all of the girls care about their clients and they really do make it lots of fun. And get results. Thank you!

I started training with Nicki towards the beginning on my pregnancy and on my due date, I can honestly say that she has kept me fighting fit! Nicki's programme has kept me strong and trim, and I'm convinced I haven't experienced the dreaded pregnancy symptoms because of the weight training, load bearing and cardio workouts. She is such a positive person and I always look forward to seeing her (even when she makes me do burpees!) I'll be starting up training again as soon as possible post birth.Also worth mentioning that Kate has created a really positive environment for training at Netil House - most of my sessions have been during the colder months so we've been training indoors. Everyone is super friendly and inspiring!

Pure Energy and professionalism, this is Lauren!I have started training twice a week with her in November 2014. She is the most energetic and encouraging personal trainer you could wish. It took me a while to decide that I wanted to train with a PT: I have never been a gym person but she made me feel at ease since the very beginning.Always smiley and full of energy, punctual, reliable, and trustworthy. Each session is different and never boring: she always introduces new challenging routines and different props.Don't get me wrong: she is lovely and kind but she will be very tough on you and will make you work hard but still you will end up with a ( sweaty) smile on your face. I finish each session very satisfied and surprised with what I have been able to achive.The great thing about Kate Burrow's studio is that when your PT is not available ( which rarely happens ) you have the possibility to train with another of the fantastic girls that work at the studio so you never miss a training( and you have no excuses for not training !!) .If I were you, I would certainly give it a try!

I first started training with the lovely Rowena from KBPT about a year ago - I'd not done any exercise for quite a while because of an injury I had to my leg. We talked about my goals (to get fit and if I happened to lose some weight in the process then that would be an added bonus) and organised session twice a week (I've now gone up to three a week since the new year). Rowena is such a great PT - knowledgeable, light hearted and most of all fun! I hate the 'shout at you/army' style PT and Rowena is the complete opposite. She encourages you through her positive words and happy disposition rather than shouting or making you feel guilty which is just what I want from a PT :o) I've had various additional injuries and niggles over the last year and Rowena has always found a way round them, adapting our exercises to take them in to account and keeping me positive!

I have been training with Harriet for about 3 months now... She is an absolute power-house!Slowly but surely, she has not only improved my overall level of fitness, but has also radically overhauled my diet, increased my motivation levels and restored my sense of wellbeing - this is no mean feat!Harriet's approach is firm, but fair - she know just how far to push you, in order to get the best!She is extremely professional, whilst also being immensely personable - her enthusiasm is unwavering and infectious, which really makes a difference. She is conscientious and exceedingly committed - each session is meticulously planned, and I know that she will always answer any questions or emails, even outside of training sessions.In general, KB training offer a brilliant and highly bespoke service - I would recommend them to everyone!

Ive been training with Nicola for some time now and I am so happy that I am. My goal is to lose weight and get fit/healthy. I started from a very sedentary position and I can feel my fitness improving immensely. Nicola is amazing, no words can express how much she has helped me. Not only does she keep the sessions interesting and keeps me motivated by setting achievable goals but she also supports with nutrition advice. I feel like Ive constant support (not just during our sessions) especially when I had issues with my health, her kind caring manner and emotional support means so much to me. Overall, Nicola is not just your average personal trainer but she honestly makes working out fun and honestly does care. I was scared about booking initially starting with KB PT but I can really say from the bottom of my heart, you wont regret it! Life changing!

I've been training with Caroline for over a year now and absolutely love it. I'm healthier than ever, can run for a bus without being out of breath and look better than I did ten years ago! I really look forward to our weekly sessions together, Caroline is a lovely person to be around as well as a great trainer. I'm pregnant at the moment and she's really adapted my workout to suit my growing bump (and promises to whip me back into shape when I'm ready!).Thanks ladies!

I have been training with Caroline weekly for the last 6 months and am loving every session. Her enthusiasm and passion for her job is infectious and has completely changed my attitude towards exercising. Caroline changes the sessions every week to keep things interesting and is excellent at motivating me to push myself harder- mainly by singing the Rocky theme tune when I am struggling! I am well on my way to reaching my goal and never thought I would say it, but look forward to training with her every week. KB personal training is a great team and I would highly recommend them to anyone.
