- Alice AKA Coach Brawn

Katherine

I’ve been having PT with Alice now for just under a year. She actually kept my original enquiry in her inbox for 6 months as when I first contacted her she didn’t have space.

From the first consultation, Alice has been amazing giving me step goals, nutrition advice and suggested workouts from the portal to compliment what we are doing in our sessions.

Over the last 12 months I have had some ups and downs, mentally and emotionally, Alice always knows when to push me and when to just ‘see what we can do’ encouraging me to just move when and how I can!

Alice isn’t the type of stereotypical personal trainer you would expect. Alice is super supportive and understanding who will be your biggest supporter and will always push you when she knows you can do it, but also understands that life happens.

Basically she is just an all round awesome human and I am so glad I found her!!! Physically I feel the best I have ever felt and genuinely with her support I can do anything! The weight loss just seems like an added bonus now.

I have been part of the Brawny's bootcamp community for several years. Before joining, although generally quite an active person, I'd never consistently done any regular exercise. I'd tried different exercise classes and gyms but, quite frankly, hated them!

I was extremely nervous attending my first bootcamp but was made to feel really welcome and not judged. Actually found I enjoyed it and the exercise was scaled by Alice to suit my level of fitness. I now attend bootcamp and regular group PT sessions with Alice. I've made amazing friends in the Brawny's community and, with their and Alice's support have got really into running. I now regularly run 10Km and am planning to do a half marathon soon.

Since finding my new love for fitness I have completed challenges I previously would never have dreamed off, 10km obstacle races, Hyrox simulation event, The Battle Cancer fitness competition & various in house competitions within the Brawny’s community.

I have fully embraced the balance lifestyle approach, Alice has guided me through this every step of the way building the knowledge to help me lose over three stone & more importantly keep it off. I love to socialise and do not feel restricted but knowledgeable on my life choices. Not only have I lost body fat I am the fittest & strongest I’ve been in 20 years!

It may sound cliché but Alice and the Brawny's Bootcamp family has genuinely changed my life. It's been amazing for my physical health, mental wellbeing and confidence.

I've been training with Alice for over 4 years now, and she has literally transformed my life!
In the past I tried every fad diet going... anything for a 'quick fix' to drop a couple of stone before a holiday or event and then always returning to my old ways...

Before I met Alice, it was always about how I looked, how much I weighed or the size jeans I was wearing... I now realise it's about so much more than that.. how I feel, my wellbeing, my confidence, the list goes on!

I turned 40 last year and I'm in the best shape of my life thanks to Alice!

I am now the Mum I always hoped I could be. I have 2 active boys, and I am now fit enough and strong enough to keep up! We spend weekends, out walking, on bike rides, playing football, Sunday morning parkruns and are always on the go!

I no longer exercise for the calories burned but for the way it makes me feel. I love my shack sessions every week and have met some great friends. I always come home after a session with my brain feeling a little 'lighter'. Balancing work and a busy home life is always challenging but I feel so much more able to deal with whatever life throws after a workout with Alice. The benefits are mental as well as physical.

Brawny's is now a family affair in our household! We join family fit sessions as a family of 4. My boys understand the importance of daily movement and eating well and I'm so glad I now have the knowledge to teach them what's important.

As someone that used to be overweight and unfit having not exercised for years, I know how daunting it can be to join a new group. You will never meet a more welcoming and encouraging group of strong women and I'm so grateful to be a part of it!

If you are thinking of starting out, you're in the right place - Alice is an amazing coach and will encourage, educate, and allow you to believe you can achieve anything! Alice is such a positive influence and I'll be forever grateful.

Michelle

I started Bootcamp in Buckingham with Alice about three and a half years ago. I was overweight, unfit and miserable to be perfectly honest!

It was absolutely terrifying turning up not knowing what to expect, not wanting to hold people up because I was so unfit and slow. I needn’t have worried though as I was made to feel very welcome and Alice tailored each exercise to my (lack) of ability. Within two months of starting I noticed a massive difference in my fitness and my confidence too. I also had much more energy and felt so much happier. It was very noticeable to my husband too, who said I was like a different wife!

Alice eventually decided to open her ‘shack’ over in Northampton and asked if I would like to give it a go. I jumped at the chance to learn new things and was soon learning how to do things with weights that previously I wouldn’t have thought I could lift with help, let alone by myself. The atmosphere in the shack is fantastic, not only is it more personal as there are only a few in each session but everyone is so encouraging and can also have a good laugh with each other! I absolutely love my shack sessions.

Since starting with Alice I have taken part in many running events, including two half marathons please note before before I couldn’t even run 10 metres let alone 13 miles!!!! I have done a muddy obstacle course with other the other Bootcampers, in which I faced my biggest fear of open water. The sense of achievement after that was amazing!

I honestly cannot thank Alice enough for improving my life in all areas and making exercise so enjoyable. She has genuinely transformed my life.

Zoe

I started training with Alice around 9 weeks after giving birth. Her knowledge around post-natal care is brilliant and she is really educated me on what my body had been through and the process to get it back to its best.

We started slow with simple but highly effective exercises and within a matter of weeks I was starting to feel stronger.
It was amazing how quickly my core strength started to build back up.
She gave me great home workouts to do and was on hand if I need any advice or guidance.

I cannot recommend Alice enough.

Stu

I have now been going to Bootcamp for 6 months. What can I say fun, fun and more fun just love it Alice is the best and everyone who goes there are so friendly. I started training with Alice at outdoor Bootcamp and soon realised I needed that little extra push so I booked some 1-2-1 training. Alice helped me with nutrition and has an eye for detail when it comes to lifting weights. My photos speak for themselves.
Thank you, Alice

I started with Alice around 12 weeks after I had my second baby. I can honestly say she has helped me so much!
She has not only helped me with losing weight, but she’s shown me how working out, can be such a positive addition to my life. Alice pays attention to detail and always makes sure you are comfortable and doing the movements correctly.

I first started sessions with Alice during the daytime, and I have taken both my 4-year-old and my baby along with me. Alice is brilliant with the kids, helping when needed if they are upset, so that I can carry on with the workout. A lot of the things we did, I had never done before, and they are all things tailored for new mums. I started noticing how much stronger I was quickly with only one session per week, along the visible changes. The improvement in my core and pelvic floor were impressive.

I was enjoying it so much that I decided to join the group PT sessions Alice offers in the evening. Alice has lots of equipment available as it’s her own mini gym in her garden. I found the small groups good for motivation and also still very personable. Eventually I was lifting weights that I did not realise I’d ever have the strength for. Alice is so good at keeping you on track and pushing you, but in the best possible way!

My improved fitness levels have helped me to get my 5k run PB from over 32 minutes down to 27 minutes!
Alice also helps guide with meal ideas which I find very helpful, she is also very good with keeping it real at the same time too!
I really do feel like a new person, with a new type of lifestyle since training with Brawny’s bootcamp. I wouldn’t ever return to not exercising! Even during lockdown Alice has been offering amazing Zoom sessions, which I do 3 a week, they have lots of variety and I never get bored of the workouts. Alice has also just broken the news I need to move up to an even heavier weight! Help, haha!

If you need a trainer to motivate you, make working out something you look forward to and help you reach your personal goals, then Alice is the person for you! I could not recommend her more!

Samantha Neal

Well... I'm 52 years old and recently diagnosed Asthmatic. My son was concerned about my health and (lack of) fitness, so he bought some vouchers for personal training sessions with Alice.
The idea was she could assess my fitness and help me become healthier. I was very nervous as had never done anything like this in my life before. Alice was very kind and friendly and made me instantly feel at ease. Now six months on, my eating habits have been totally transformed, I have lost 1 stone in weight (have wanted to do that for years).
I am now as fit as I could ever have believed I could be and have recently just ran 2 miles effortlessly.
I cannot recommend Alice enough, she is always there for you with support and advice, her prices are very reasonable and well worth every penny.
I shall finish with Alice is a lovely person to know, and I feel she is a friend as well as a trainer and an asset to have in my life.

Jane

I have been doing “Virtual” training sessions with Alice since October 2019. Doing these sessions, I have dropped a dress size from 16 to 14 and lost over a stone in weight.Originally we did 1-2 times a week and now 4 times a week since lockdown began.
PT with Alice is never boring and easy to follow on my iPad. The sessions are varied and have gradually increased in their intensity and level of weights. Alice tailors sessions for any ailments and is super accommodating in fitting around any work commitments. Alice not only pushes me in the sessions, but has helped me with my eating plan whilst still allowing me to have my weekly wine.
Onto losing the next stone in the rest of 2020! By the way I am 65 years old!

Can't recommend Alice as a personal trainer enough, I have been on a positive journey since I started doing virtual workouts in March 2020 I started again at the Gym towards the end of 2019 after a few lazy years, then stopped in Feb 2020 due to the global situation.

In March 2020 I weighed 15st 6, the heaviest I had been.
That's when I was introduced to Alice by my better half, who had been training with her for a while with great success.
By the end of November 2020 I was down to 12stone, Loosing 3.5 stone in 8 months.
I'm now around 12st 3 but the slight gain is in muscle and not fat.
I'm 32 and haven't felt or looked like this since I was in my late teens playing football 3 times a week and then I didn't have the definition I now have.

Currently due to restrictions I am unable to go to and visit Alice at her own studio, but I am pleased I am still getting the results virtually working out in my front room or garage with Alice over zoom in the virtual sessions.
Alice offers personal advice based on everyone's individual goals and abilities and offers a truly tailor made service which includes training plans, diet and nutrition all of which she is qualified to give.
I have also gained great inspiration from others posting their results in members area of Alice's social media.
Whether that's a recipe or seeing that someone has achieved a personal best.
All these things help you stay on track and make you feel like part of a community, everyone is all on the same journey. I have learned the correct techniques on Deadlifts, Burpees, Squats and kettlebell swings to name a few.
I have also received training on correct from using my newly purchased squat rack and bench.
Could I have done this myself. No.
So in conclusion I am truly glad I met Alice. I fully recommend Brawny’s Bootcamp to anyone who wants to improve their fitness and loose a dadbod.
