Fitness Success Stories

 

“We would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone, whatever their needs or challenges….”

Bethan has been working with my son David over the past 3 months. David is 27 and has physical and learning disabilities. Bethan is amazing with him. He loves his sessions and has made so much progress. She is adaptable and innovative, helping David to work hard while always keeping him laughing.

Not everyone is able to adapt to our unique circumstances, but Bethan has risen to the challenge every time with great understanding. We would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone, whatever their needs or challenges.

“She was really instrumental with helping me bounce back…

I’ve trained with Bethan for some years now- I recently had my first child and Bethan was great at helping me train throughout, modifying and continuing to push where appropriate.

She was really instrumental with helping me bounce back after as well with the dedication to rehabbing my core and pelvic floor. So necessary! Couldn’t have done it without her.

“Bethan gave me the confidence to achieve things I didn’t always believe I could”

Nearly a year ago now I did my first Metafit session and it was hard, really hard. I hadn’t done any exercise in a while, it had always been something I’d avoided my whole life if I’m being honest. P.E. was a dreaded lesson and my confidence when exercising was non-existent. If you had told me then that I would be running 5 miles while tackling a lot of muddy obstacles I don’t think I would have believed you.

That is what is so amazing about Bethan. She helps you to achieve things that you don’t always believe you can. I am a lot fitter than I was, I’m eating healthier and my body shape is changing. I’ve gone from one Metafit session a week to a combination of Metafit and Group PT. Most importantly I don’t dread exercising anymore, especially not with the lovely Berkhamsted Fitness community.

Over the past year Bethan has helped me to change my lifestyle and that’s why I know it will stick. I am much more confident in my fitness ability and while there is still a way to go I know I will keep improving with Bethan’s help.

“Bethan has improved my pain, fitness and wellbeing…”

When I first met Bethan, I literally felt like I was falling apart. I have a serious lower back problem, had had major knee surgery in the past and my confidence in my own body was very low. I was in pain and was very apprehensive but I knew I needed to strengthen my body to enable me to prevent further damage and pain.

Bethan listened and understood all my medical needs and all my anxiety. She gives you a long consultation which is so important. She is able to treat your body and mind set in a way that is personally effective for you without any judgement and without any pressure.

I have built up from weekly Pilates which dramatically reduced my back pain, to adding in Small Group PT sessions that I would never have thought I was capable of.

I remember texting her that I’d walked my dog free from pain for the first time in years. I was so happy and she shared my excitement which was lovely!

I can now lift small weights and do much more exercise than ever before. I still have the odd wobble but she always reassures me, we talk things through and she always finds a way for me, whether that’s adapting an exercise or taking me through it gradually.

I also find her a really positive person which is really infectious and although very professional I’ve begun to think of her as a friend. The other clients in her small classes are always really friendly and good company too.

After my success my husband goes to her too. Bethan has improved my pain, fitness and well being, I highly recommend her.
