Testimonials
“I have always struggled with fitness and diet, but Autumn 2023 I knew I wanted to feel healthier and knew I needed to increase my own activity as part of that journey. However I have vertigo and dislike gyms and group activities, so a friend recommended a personal trainer, specifically her personal trainer.
I have been going to Tracey weekly for about a year now, and I have transitioned from someone who was nervous about exercise, to someone who looks forward to the session. I know she will push me outside of a comfort zone, but each session is tailored to how I feel and Tracey is agile throughout the session in true definition of “personal” training. I come out feeling more like I have had personal therapy, and when I started this journey I never believed I would enjoy exercise, but Tracey did and has made that happen.
100% recommended.”

“I have been seeing Tracey for PT for the last 9 months. I came to her as an unfit, overweight person with a number of mobility struggles. Tracey always puts specific training programmes together to work around my struggles and is very knowledgeable about adapting to each person’s abilities. She is always pushing me to get the best out of each session and I’m now seeing the rewards through increased fitness, strength, mobility and confidence.”

“Working with Tracey at LMHQ has shifted my whole bodily perspective! It started with the mindset benefits which came from feeling physically stronger (it felt so wonderful to feel more “able”, more confident). However, as time went by, it also became evident that many unhelpful habits had just naturally fallen by the wayside and the way I started viewing myself was so much more positive – with a greater willingness to take better care of myself and my body. I can’t imagine not visiting Tracey and all the lovely folk at LMHQ – I am very grateful!”

“Tracey has been such a positive influence in my life. I was looking for a PT that was tough experienced and professional. Tracey was highly recommended to me by my Yoga instructor. What I have found in Tracey was all of the above and more. Tracey is also very kind, caring and considerate, and will tailor your plan to your needs, whether that is a tough work out, focused Pilates, motivation, moral support, or even a shoulder to cry on. All of which has been invaluable in lock down. My fitness level was really low, with various muscle twinges and lower back pain. Tracey has guided me through a plan that has improved both my physical fitness and mental wellbeing with her unique personality and balance of fun with fitness. I highly recommend signing up.”

“Just thought I would send a few thoughts on yesterday, although I am unsure of how to describe it.
…Today I am aware of ‘deep’ muscle exercise, not in the usual muscle ache after exercise but more subtle. I think I have exercised muscles (core and glutes in particular) in a way that I haven’t before.
I think Reformer is the challenge I didn’t know I needed or wanted but I love it. And I am really pleased that you are offering this to your customers.”

“I started going to Tracey’s classes in early 2018 and I haven’t looked back. Tracey helped me to see exercise as a celebration of what my body can do and not a punishment for what I ate. I have seen a significant difference in my strength and stamina with a combination of personal training sessions and group exercise.
Tracey developed a 1-1 personalised training plan to help me achieve my fitness goals whilst continuing to push me that little bit further which I love! Not only does Tracey know her stuff, she is so motivating and inspiring which makes her that extra bit special!”

“Training with Tracey Murphy has totally transformed my attitude to exercise. I have always loved walking the dog and a little bit of yoga but didn’t invest in personal fitness until I went through an aggressive bout of cancer. Following treatment I committed myself to maintaining my own health as best I could, but of course it’s all about balance.I loath getting up in the mornings and heading to the gym, but after a few minutes with Tracey I can feel my serotonin levels rise. And, despite putting me through my paces in general fitness, I love chatting away to Tracey while working out – so much so that the 45 minutes flies past and I’ve not only worked my body but my mind as well. Because the cancer treatment has left me with osteoporosis, Tracey has organised a plan which works on maintaining healthy muscles and bones, as well as tackling the dreaded middle age spread (as I said, it’s all about balance and I refuse to give up cheese and red wine!). I would highly recommend Tracey to anyone who’d like to improve their health and fitness levels. She is a truly inspirational lady.”

“I have been doing the Pilates class once a week with Tracey for about 7 months . The sessions help me focus on core strength, stretching and balance and I think all of these have improved since I started the classes. The small class sizes enable friendly banter and for Tracey to ensure form is maintained throughout the session.
I feel encouraged and supported and really enjoy the sessions.!”
Sally, Pilates Client
“I’ve been a client of Tracey’s for a number of years for Pilates and Personal Training. Tracey is passionate about her role as a PT and committed to ensuring you get the best out of your sessions with her. She is highly experienced and adapts workouts to take account of any limitations or injuries you may have, making sure you work out in a safe manner. She’s very motivating in an encouraging way, and I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
Suzanne Cocker, Pilates and Personal Training Client
“So many good reasons why I choose Tracy for PT and Pilates. Probably I didn’t realise how much I needed to do Pilates and strength training until my coach suggested fitting in 2 sessions a week not swimming, biking or running. I had just got myself a place in the GB age group team for Triathlon and was heading out to Austria with team GB. I wasn’t sure I could go faster particularly on the run at my age but I was completely blown away at the results leading up to my race. At 54, then I PB on my 10k time to sub 40 mins which I struggled with in my 30’s.
My Swim became so much better and the bike section was faster than most in the field. I remain injury free🤞and although not by Tracy’s standards as flexible as I have ever been. She is a great motivator and is very precise in her instructions. She always gives alternative movements. If I had to rate her it would be a 10/10. Mind you she isn’t a soft touch. Nothing goes unnoticed. I have been to other instructors but they have usually been more interested in what you cannot do rather than what you can achieve.”
