Shaw To Succeed - Chard

Ian Tapsell

I have been training with Nic for over 2 years now and I find the classes are great fun, well structured and make me want to return! Initially I started with the Boot Camp sessions that are run 3 times a weel. I also attend the 'Fighting Fit' class on a Tuesday morning which is a great way to start the day. I am very pleased with the improvement in my health and strength as a result of attending the classes. I had been trying for about 2 years to train myself at a local gym but found motivating myself to go got increasingly difficult to the point I was barely going once a week and the membership was a waste of money. The classes Nic offers give a great variety and challenge too and I find myself looking forward to the next one rather than giving it a miss!

I am getting married in August this year and started to train with Nic back in October 2015. Nic has the right balance of encouragement and discipline to get the best out of you and always manages to sneak out the one extra squat or press you didn't think you had left in the tank.

I train twice a week and I saw pretty instant results, so far I have gone down three belt holes, received lots of compliments from friends and colleagues and my other sports have benefited from my increased levels of strength and fitness.

I first met Nic around 2 years ago, she came to me for a sports massage treatment. We hit it off and I don't started using her services as a personal trainer to help me get back into shape as I suffer from type 1 diabetes.
Two years on and I'm a fit 52 year old, I've lost 2 stone in weight almost 3" off my waist and I feel fit and strong with my diabetes under control.
Nic is a really lovely genuine person who truly cares about her clients, she puts a lot of effort into tailoring workout to client needs, she is professional but easy to get on with, she's not a bully like other trainers I've had in the past and works around my busy schedule.
I cannot speak more highly of Nic, her approach is refreshing, workouts are always fun and are the highlight of my week.

As I type this recommendation my abs are reminding me of yesterday’s PT session with Nicola which I refer to as good pain. As an Open Water Swimmer targeting a solo attempt across the English Channel I need a trainer to build strength and conditioning to compliment my OW training. Nicola has a great command of what I need to do and provides variety in the training sessions that make them interesting rather than same repetitive routine that becomes boring. I’m confident that whatever your goals are Nicola will design a program that fits.

Nic who is Shaw to Succeed is a first rate personal trainer and brings that perfect combination of toughness and understanding. Toughness that she drives you to do the extra set of squats (she does like those), to hold the plank for longer and/or to hold the position for longer whilst also listening and being mindful of your individual needs and abilities. Every session I have had has been different so its never felt the same or boring, challenging, but not boring. Nic is also a throughly nice person and engages throughout and is also very flexible with booking times, in my instance she was hay to start at 05:45 or earlier. I highly recommend.

A great bootcamp session. Offered three times a week and very flexible. Really enjoyable and a challenge that has increased my fitness significantly alongside weight loss. Highly recommended.

Starting training with Nic @ Shaw to succeed a few months ago as I lost weight and wanted to tone up I met Nic at her home gym and talked about my individual needs Nic made me feel at ease from the first session to this week's session there always different and enjoyable Nic gets the best out of you if it's extra few seconds on holding the plank or extra push up Nic is not like a Sargent major but you know she's the boss Nic is genuinely nice person and flexible with times if your looking for a personal trainer look no further this lady is awesome
