I always come out of my sessions with Rachel feeling a 100% better than I did before. She always motivates me and loves finding new exercises and ‘tweaking’ my technique to help me get it 100%. I love my fitness journey and wouldn’t be where I am today without Rachel. Considering when I started with Rachel I was in pain walking up my drive, and now I’m in the gym 4 times a week and play rugby weekly and just got through into the North Wales final is all thanks to Rachel 😊 and all the work she has helped me with and making me stronger everyday 💪🏼.

I have known Rach for over 30 years, working together in the fitness industry for many of those years. I always admired her energy and enthusiasm to teach and get results for all of her clients.

In lockdown I joined Rach’s online classes and PT sessions and have never looked back. I stopped my gym membership and now see Rach via video every week. Her experience, knowledge and understanding is outstanding. My lessons are fun, my body shape has changed, my fitness levels increased and any problems I have physically or emotionally, are dealt with.

Rach is so caring, compassionate and so committed to make a difference to everyone she teaches. I thoroughly recommend her sessions.

I started sessions with Rachel in June 2018 with bad posture and back ache. My body has been transformed by this dedicated and professional PT, who’s a 100% committed at all times. Whatever life throws at me Rachel is there to put me back together again. I leave every session feeling physically and mentally stronger. My fitness sessions with Rachel are now part of my routine and I can’t imagine life without them.

Buzzing, glowing, rejuvenated, energised and re-set! Just some of many benefits following a one to one personal training session with Rachel. Have had sessions with other trainers over the years but I have come to realise that ending a session a deep shade of purple and feeling anything other than ‘good’ is not the way things should be done. Rachel really does look after the only body we have.

She listens attentively to my needs and goals with care compassion and understanding. Her knowledge and coaching methods are extensive and excellent, whether for toning, strengthening, nutrition, or, as has been necessary for me on occasion, as a result of my job, to re-set me and realign my body.

Sessions are varied, challenging as needed and tremendous fun (yes fun!) The very many benefits of sessions with a professional coach/trainer are very worthwhile and I cannot recommend Rachel highly enough.

During the Autumn of 2017, while gardening I tore my Supraspinatus muscle, my right shoulder and arm movement became intensely painful and very restricted.

I was advised to visit the Anglesey Sports Injury Clinic and was treated there several times and this gave me great relief and the pain was minimised, but it was suggested that I needed to make my body stronger and build the muscles to support this injury and reduce the future damage to any muscles when working in the garden.

I went to see Rachel Armstrong in Rhosneigr, who is a personal trainer in exercise and a nutrition programme. Rachel is a very enthusiastic, fun person and she helped me through a gentle approach to exercise and a change to my diet which has proved to be very beneficial. I have a condition called Fibromyalgia which can be very debilitating, especially with painful muscles, but with Rachel’s care even this has been made more tolerable. I now run upstairs and can lift 5kg weights, quite easily.

I feel better, sleep more soundly and I am getting fitter as I get older, also Rachel makes it all seem fun.

Thank you Rachel, I look forward to my sessions with you and my homework.

As a keen club fell runner I contacted Rachel initially for a running assessment and exercises to improve my core strength and stability to enable me to run faster in the mountains. The work we have done together has been fantastic. Rachel has made huge changes to my stability and posture, making me stronger and helping to prevent injury. Every session we do is great; Rachel is full of enthusiasm and has outstanding knowledge. This knowledge allows her to tailor every session to my specific needs and helps me progress. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

After having given up running eighteen months previously due to bad knees I was very unfit and feeling really low. I cycled through the Summer, long distances sometimes but it never gave me the same ‘buzz’ as running did. I hate the gym and anything indoorsy really. I have never been slim but had become fat and miserable. I saw a couple of Rachels posts on fb. In one of the photos a lady was deadlifting weights. I fancied having a go at it and made a comment along those lines. Rachel encouraged me to visit her for a 1:1 session. No way was I ready for that mentally. Homelife was not great and I was already under a lot of stress. The last thing I needed was to be put on a weighing scales. Over the space of a few weeks Rachel and I chatted online. She reassured me that I wouldn’t have to be weighed or measured and that we could work around that. So I booked my first session. What I was really looking for was to find something that my old body could do to keep me physically and mentally fit that I could also enjoy. I never wanted exercise to feel like a chore.

Turning up for my first session was tough but Rachel put me at my ease. She gave me workouts to do at home and told me that she believed that I would run again. That was more than I had gone to see her hoping for. I kept up weekly 1:1 sessions and did my homework. I then also joined a running group run by Rachel. I had already started run/walking on my own prior to the 6 weeks course under Rachels instruction. Anyway, to cut a long story short 5 months after my first visit to Rachel I ran 5k relatively problem free. Rachel had taught me how to warm up properly and to stretch after exercise too.

I am still carrying too much weight but I have my confidence back. I can’t run as often as I used to but I now walk 12k steps daily. I am really looking forward to my next step of the journey with Rachel which starts next week. Next week we shall be looking at nutrition and sleep.

I have recommended Rachel to friends. They are now enjoying the benefits of her tuition too and are now recommending her to their friends.

I started going to Rachel almost a year and a half ago, first and still do, go to her HIIT classes which I thoroughly enjoy and then to see her 1:1. As a 56 year old I was full on menopausal and can’t describe the help I’ve had off Rachel, fitness wise, nutritionally and emotional support to re ignite my love of hill walking and cycling. I have a history of 52 years as a horse rider and competitor and had stopped competitive riding in 2014 and felt myself slide downhill. Now I have a renewed enthusiasm and best of all virtually no menopause symptoms. So Grateful.

I started with Rachel 4 months ago. After multiple injuries, trying to get fit by myself resulted in a lot of pain, so I gave up so many times. Feeling disheartened, I finally made the decision to seek out some help and I am so glad I did. Rachel’s comprehensive understanding of the underlying reasons for the pain I was in has been brilliant. We have worked through my injuries to improve strength and stability, working on form rather than speed so that I can understand how my body should be moving. It means that exercise is now pain free and importantly I have started to enjoy it! Rachel has been wonderfully supportive and encouraging: not just in our 1:1 sessions but also with support between sessions. I can’t recommend One Body Personal Training enough.

Quite simply joining this class was the best decision I have ever made!

After a really traumatic time in my life & some post traumatic stress taking its toll on my body, I overcame my innate fear of gyms and exercise groups and went along to a HIIT class……I’m someone who walks my dog but did not exercise in any other way. A whole new world has opened up to me…I now do HIIT class and am part of a running group. I have met the most amazing women ever and have made great friends and found a sense of belonging in a very special community. My week is now structured with time for self care & self compassion for the first time in my adult life. I now understand the intrinsic link between my body, my mind and my emotions. My wellbeing has improved so quickly and so completely that in less than a year I am in a completely different place in my life. My strength is returning, my self esteem has returned, my joy has returned, mostly as a consequence of belly laughing with women in the group but also by rediscovering fresh & nutritious food, fresh air, nature, belonging to a group, having a structure & routine of self care.

Rach is the most amazing teacher and coach, she genuinely has a passion to get alongside each of us and walk through our journey with us, always encouraging, supporting, showing great care & compassion for each individual woman.

This isn’t just a fitness class, this is so much more. I am so grateful for the true gift that this has been to me and for the new world of exercise and fun that this has opened up to me. I have tried things I thought I would never try, me running is a miracle…… But it turns out I absolutely love it!

Whatever your situation, whatever your reason for considering working with Rach…I promise it will be the best decision you make and the greatest kindness you could ever show yourself.

Thank you Rach!

I started working with Rachel around 6 months ago, but since January weekly. I was a bit of a cronk going to her! I have always run, I run for mental health and to keep chronic migraine in check and so wouldn’t listen to the rest of my body! I just kept running! Looking back I probably had plantar fasciitis for about 3 years but just ignored it…..until I couldn’t actually walk in the morning or even when I sat for a bit my foot was just so painful.

I went to see a physio who released my calves and massaged my feet, this helped but still I wasn’t able to walk for any length of time and running was out of the question! By now I was migraining pretty much constantly.

Seeing Rachel every week for the past 3 months, she’s helped me look at inflammation causing food in my diet, suggested supplements, helped me increase my hydration, supported me to build muscle, help me understand how I hold myself, my shoulders, what glutes and inner thighs are supposed to do AND I’m back running!!!

Rachel’s approach is careful and holistic… I cannot thank her enough, 12 months ago I thought I’d never run again now I feel strong, migraines are back under control and I’m excited about what else I can achieve with her help!
