    I did Kerry’s antenatal exercise classes during both my pregnancies and absolutely loved them. Great way to exercise and stay fit during pregnancy but also to meet other women and make some friends.

    Kerry was absolutely amazing and just the right PT for what i wanted. It’s difficult finding female trainers who can tailor your sessions around menopause - Kerry knew exactly what I needed. Highly recommend

    Having tried various PT’s and trainers, Kerry is the first and only to make me feel heard and comfortable. I have always struggled with my relationship with food and Kerry really helped me to understand why I was doing this and how to take regular small steps to make big changes. She always listened and really guided me. I never felt pushed to do anything but always felt motivated to with her support. When it comes to working out, she not only taught me new ways of working my body but reminded me of the enjoyment that comes from it and how to get the most from a workout. I honestly can’t recommend Kerry enough. My whole outlook on food and exercise has changed in the time we’ve been working together and aside from being incredibly knowledgeable, she is just a lovely person to work with!

    I had a new mom massage with Kerry and it was exactly what I needed. The massage was brilliant and relaxing, Kerry accommodated for every need coming to my house with all the equipment needed. Kerry is very professional but also a caring and kind person. I’ll definitely be booking another massage soon.

    I've really enjoyed coming to Kerry's pregnancy exercise classes over the past few months! The classes are fun and dynamic, and very inclusive as everyone is encouraged to work to their own ability. The atmosphere is always laid back and friendly and it is a great opportunity to connect with other mums-to-be. It gives me great peace of mind to know that the exercises are safe for both me and my baby.

    I started 1-1 Holistic Core Restore sessions with Kerry in Jan 23. I can not recommend her enough, she’s incredibly supportive and creates such a safe and comfortable space for your sessions. She is so knowledgeable and passionate about women’s health and the post natal journey. She takes the time to understand what you want and need from the sessions and tailors them to suit. She also explains the exercises so clearly that you have confidence when doing your homework. I can feel such a difference in my core and understand my body in a way I didn’t before. It’s great to work with someone who clearly understands what’s it’s like as a new mom, I only wish I’d started the classes earlier!

    When I first decided to get a PT, I never expected it to last as long as it did. In my mind I just wanted to keep my energy levels up whilst pregnant. However, because of how great Kerry is, I ended up having sessions for nearly a year and a half! Over this time Kerry made multiple programs that were suited to me and my goals at different stages of my pregnancy journey; recovering from a c section; my diastasis recti and getting back to full fitness and playing sport again. The sessions had the right amount of challenge and loved how they could also fit in around the home using every day things like my sofa! Any equipment I didn’t have she posted to me so I wouldn’t be without. Kerry never made me feel pressurised to do my workouts or “homework” (which was a fear of mine when considering having a PT!). Kerry always gauged our sessions on how I was feeling on the day - be it full of energy or severely sleep deprived! Sometimes we just spent time talking through the trials of motherhood and Kerry always advocated the importance of mum time. She gave me so many great ideas not just for my fitness but for my nutrition, structuring family life and my mental health. Kerry really gave me a holistic experience and I am so grateful for all the time and effort she put in with me.

    I joined Kerry's postnatal fitness classes after being recommended by a friend. They are tailored specifically for post partum mum's and suitably low impact to help build strength. I've really enjoyed the classes, built my fitness and strength, made friends within the classes and everyone can go at their own pace. I am able to attend with my baby which is a huge advantage as it's my only real time I can work out! Kerry really knows her stuff about women's fitness. I had a knee op pre pregnancy which physio hadn't really got up to speed. Kerry's low impact classes have really helped heal that too. Thoroughly recommend to anyone!

  • 5/5 Toni H. 4 years ago on Google
    I have recently joined Kerry's pregnancy exercise class and it has been so much more than I was expecting. The support and guidance has been amazing and the opportunity to meet and connect with other pregnant women going through the same experiences and sharing advice and guidance in such a supportive setting has been invaluable in taking away any first time mum anxiety! I have also received the most amazing massage from Kerry to help with horrible hip pain, where she explained everything she was doing clearly to me and made me feel so at ease. I will be sticking with Kerry for the duration of my pregnancy and afterwards too if she'll have me! And I would recommend her without any hesitation to any expectant mums out there!

  • 5/5 Hannah F. 5 years ago on Google
    I have found Kerry' postnatal fitness classes are a fantastic way to get back into shape after giving birth (mentally and physically!) It's not all about losing weight, although energetic classes will help with that, Kerry focuses specifically on strengthening muscles weakened by pregnancy/labour - something you won't find in regular exercise classes. It is also great socially too...I have met lots of other lovely mums through the classes and my baby seems to enjoy his hour in the activity corner too!

  • 5/5 Emily T. 2 years ago on Google
    Kerry has in-depth knowledge of female postnatal recovery which has helped me rebuild my strength and fitness. The online options makes working out easy to fit into my busy lifestyle as a new Mum. Kerry is approachable and always happy to help with any questions or queries. There are adaptations to every exercise which I have utilised throughout my recovery. Thanks Kerry

    I got in touch with Kerry to help me get back into exercise after a C section in December. Before pregnancy I was a keen runner, and although I was desperate to get back out there I was unsure what I should and shouldn't be doing. Kerry was totally brilliant, and thanks to her carefully tailored weekly sessions I am now feeling so much stronger physically, and (perhaps as important!) I have also gained the confidence to get back out there doing the sports I love. She has been so supportive and encouraging, and is always happy to talk openly and honestly about how you're *really* feeling. I honestly can't recommend her highly enough; I wish this level of support was available to all postnatal women!

    I started Kerry's in-person class at Moor Pool Hall in January when my little one was about 3 months old. It was just what I needed to feel better about my post natal recovery and fitness. Kerry is super supportive, and because she's been there too, she just gets it! She provides a very thorough questionnaire before you start so she knows exactly where you're at and whether you have any injuries or post natal recovery that she needs to be aware of. It's lovely to meet like-minded women who are on their own baby journey and no matter your fitness level Kerry makes it completely accessible. As well as the in-person class Kerry runs, she also includes online classes, as well as nutrition and joint/muscle pain advice as part of her monthly subscription. Kerry is amazing and I would definitely recommend using Female Fitness Matters for all your fitness needs! ☺️

    Kerry is a very confident and experienced fitness instructor. Having trialed her postnatal exercise class in person, I am now excited to see the benefits of having regular classes with Kerry. Kerry provided varied workouts that suit all fitness levels.

  • 5/5 Megan P. 2 years ago on Google
    Kerry has been the most fantastic support for the 4 years since my son was born. I first met her when I was pregnant - my work schedule didn't really allow for me to join classes regularly - in fact I think I only joined one! - but she made me feel welcome and part of the group from the beginning. I attended postnatal classes for a while, and particularly enjoyed the social element of these as a new mum, but returned to work quite quickly, which disrupted this routine. I then started 1-2-1 personal training, which I continued on a weekly basis for about 3 years (I only stopped because I moved 200 miles away). Kerry has an in-depth understanding of postnatal recovery and her tailored sessions have built my strength and confidence and (as almost the only hour I have for myself each week) have kept me sane. Through multiple lockdowns, we took our sessions online and she came up with all sorts of creative ways to vary the sessions - including filling a handbag with my son's wooden bricks to use as a kettlebell! - I couldn't recommend her more highly and am hugely grateful for her support, encouragement and friendship.

    I've been doing Kelly's classes via zoom while we're in lockdown and it's great to have the live classes to give me focus and motivation to get at least one good workout in a week, but also having the recorded classes available to do when I can at other times throughout the week is great! I've had a lot of backache lately as my core is weak since being pregnant and Kelly's exercises being specifically tailored for postnatal mums have really helped, and I actually look forward to her classes every week 😊

  • 5/5 Liesal A. 3 years ago on Google
    I found Kerry through Facebook shorty after having my first child and she was also recommended by friends. I initially had 3 one to one sessions with her where she gave a tailored pan for my c section recovery that saw me in a few weeks have the confidence and energy to join her postnatal fitness classes which are so fun, friendly and convenient with a babysitter provided (or exercises adapted to hold clingy baby!). I also joined several nutrition jumpstarts and have more recently gone back to one to one sessions as I am pregnant again - Kerry has been so helpful in finding quick wins to lead a more healthy lifestyle and keep myself fit and strong through pregnancy and postnatally and has an incredible way of doing it without acting like a drill sergeant but still holding me to account. She keeps in contact between meetings and is happy to provide additional guidance, videos or links as “homework” too - but again not pushy about it so you can go at your own pace. I cannot recommend Kerry enough as a supportive, knowledgeable and friendly advocate for your total wellbeing as a mum.

  • 5/5 Holly T. 3 years ago on Google
    Kerry’s post natal classes have been an absolute god send. Having them available online to join live or catch up on has been brilliant throughout lockdown. I’ve loved this flexibility with having two children at home with me. Kerry goes above and beyond with the personal support she offers. Having had 2 c-sections, this has felt really important to me as at times I’ve felt nervous about what exercise I could and couldn’t do. I would also highly recommend Kerry’s nutrition jumpstart. I lost inches without feeling like I was on a restrictive diet. Instead I feel like it’s taught me how to look after my nutrition while still enjoying food! Thanks Kerry!

  • 5/5 Sarah L. 3 years ago on Google
    I am really enjoying the exercise classes with Kerry. All activities have many different difficulty levels allowing you to chose exactly the right level of challenge. The classes have been a great introduction to my first exercise after childbirth, especially after a fairly sedentary pregnancy. I can really see the difference in my fitness between classes, and after just a few classes I was able to try some of the more challenging activities. In addition, if life is busy you can watch back the exercise videos in your own time. Kerry really cares for all of her customers, taking the time to get to know everyone. I especially like the daily tips, challenges and ideas that we are sent. Thank you Kerry.

    Lovely community of friendly people. And a great workout!

  • 5/5 Anna M. 3 years ago on Google
    I followed Kerry’s classes through lockdown 1 and 2. They are diverse enough to take me from postpartum and recovering from a c section onto a higher level of fitness. There are always alternatives given for different fitness levels and to accommodate changing bodies. The social media groups that run along side are friendly and inclusive and really help you stay motivated. Kerry is always quick to respond to questions and offer encouragement. I’ve really enjoyed all of it!

  • 5/5 EdAndKaren E. 3 years ago on Google
    Kerry's nutrition jumpstart is the single most effective thing I've tried in my life in terms of making sustainable and healthy changes to my diet! A great format - easy to keep up with the daily videos, really informative, a supportive atmosphere, and I felt totally in control of the changes I was making. I'd recommend it!

🫤 Decent gym with fair amount of equipment. Gets very cramped. There have been times I’ve had to leave due to not being able to get on any machines. I just wish that it was open later, it’s not practical if you work late or have a busy lifestyle. I finished work at 7 yesterday, packed my gym bag then...

😠 I booked a bliss spa package for me and my wife for our anniversary. To say I was disappointed will be an understatement. This place clearly should not be advertised as a Spa and should be a stand alone health club which it is. The health club amenities such as pool, jacuzzi were appalling. The swim...
