Hey there!
Soooo.. If you don't know me - I’m Izzy, a Personal Trainer and nutritionist based in Surrey, and a strength training superfan. I've worked with women for over a decade, and I can tell you this: strength training is one of the most empowering things you can do for your body — and your brain.
Still think it’s not for you? Let’s change that.
💪 Muscle Isn’t Just About Aesthetics — It’s About PowerStrong, not skinny, Personal Trainer based in cobham
Of course, muscle helps you look leaner and more toned — but the real magic? It's what muscle does behind the scenes. Think:
Boosted metabolism
Higher energy levels
Better posture and joint support
Fewer injuries and aches
When women train for strength, they stop chasing the scale and start chasing progress — and that’s where the motivation sticks. Strong, not skinny, Personal Trainer based in cobham
🔥 Muscle = Fat Loss Machine
Here’s a secret: if your goal is fat loss, building muscle should be your top priority. Muscle increases your basal metabolic rate (BMR), which means you burn more calories doing nothing.
Cardio is great, but lifting weights is how you change your shape, not just your weight.
🧠 Hormones, Aging & Confidence — Let’s Talk Long Term
Strength training isn't just for now — it’s for your future. As we age, muscle mass naturally decreases, affecting everything from bone density to hormonal balance to mental health.
Lifting helps:
Combat hormonal changes (hello, menopause!)
Support bone health
Boost mood and reduce anxiety
Improve sleep and confidence
🧍♀️“But I Don’t Want to Get Bulky…”
I hear this a lot, but here’s the truth: building serious muscle takes time, a specific diet, and heavy training. What we do? It’ll help you tighten, tone, and feel amazing — not look bulky.
What you will get:
✅ Curves in all the right places
✅ Strength you can feel
✅ A new level of confidence
