My Approach

I offer personal training designed to work around you — for women who want to feel strong, confident, and powerful without sacrificing privacy or time. Sessions typically combine progressive strength training, mobility work, and practices you can repeat between sessions.

What this looks like in practice

Training takes place in your home or online, removing the need for gyms, commuting, or distractions. We find one hour that fits into your day, with all sessions kept one-to-one and discreet. It’s a simple, considered approach — personal training that fits your life, in a space that feels right.

I work across North London, prices available on request.

Female Personal Trainer, north london, at home work outs training sessions

Hello,

I’m Tessa — a personal trainer working with women who lead full, demanding lives and want their health supported with the same intention they bring to everything else.

After years in a fast-paced career in advertising, alongside raising a young child, I understand how easily health can slip when time and energy are limited. That experience shapes my approach: training that is intelligent, purposeful, and designed to fit real life.

My background began with Pilates and Mindfulness practice which helped me recover from significant physical challenges following pregnancy and postnatal. As I moved into my late thirties, I shifted my focus towards strength training — particularly to support bone health, resilience, and long-term wellbeing. This now underpins my work.

I hold a Level 3 Personal Training qualification, with additional training in nutrition and pre-and postnatal coaching. My aim is simple: to help women build strength that supports them now and into the future, without adding another demand to their day.
