There is nothing more pleasurable than being able to move easily and get into the flow of exercising. For many of us, just the thought of exercising can be daunting, and I'm here to help you. My name is Tracy and I've been running Griffen Fitness for over 16 years. Ever since I was wee, it was my dream to open a fitness studio.
I've always been active, enjoying adventures on my bike all through my childhood, and also on foot. I love sharing adventures, and I see getting fit as a journey for my clients. Back in 2002 I qualified as a fitness instructor, and then further as a Personal Trainer with aerobics and aqua aerobics qualifications.

This probably sounds dramatic and a bit over the top, but with Tracy's help I feel I now have an opportunity to change my life and potentially live longer, enjoying life. And the good part, in six weeks I've lost three inches off my waist, lost half a stone in weight, improved my blood pressure level (and) reduced my body fat.

Tracy is a pretty amazing and supportive PT, and as a human in general, quite wonderful. Her knowledge of health and well-being, alongside anatomy and physiology are excellent and uses this technical knowledge in a meaningful and applied way. I saw Tracy as a start to reinvesting in my physical fitness alongside building confidence in doing this myself going forward, as I make my way to 50. I can say with utter sincerity that I have been given the best head start I could’ve wanted, alongside rediscovering a love of skipping (who knew!). And the added bonus? Coco cuddles.

I had an online session with Tracy weekly for about 10 weeks. I found her help in devising an exercise regime excellent and I learnt a lot about form and how to maximise each movement. She is very clear and patient and expects a high standard. I look forward to coming into her studio soon.

Absolutely love how simple, quick and effective the sessions with Tracy are! I had started sessions with her before lockdown and found her approach very refreshing. Her instructions are simple and easy to follow. I love the PDFs, which have pictures and pointers of all the exercises, so it’s really easy to repeat the workouts at home.
Really pleased to discover that Tracy was doing online sessions, which are proving very helpful indeed. Especially when I’m feeling lethargic, with working from home. If I’m feeling a bit fed up she’ll always make me laugh and more importantly feel a whole

I went to Tracy because of lockdown but secondly because I did not want to exercise IN a gym but outside and not part of a Military Fitness gung-ho set-up. So, the initial motives were negative but the experience has been far from that.
I've enjoyed sessions out in local parks going to some that I never knew existed, had a breakneck speed bike ride with exercises at the end (no allowances for age, wind or unfitness given - ie. good!) and when necessary exercises with my minimal equipment in my study. They are entertaining and positive and repeatable.
I will continue with Tracy after all this

I have been working with Tracy for 7 months, following early retirement with MS. Tracy's 1-1 sessions are great fun and upbeat. Even on a really bad MS day, I can contact Tracy and she will adapt the session to what I can do that day. Tracy does the exercises with you, which is really beneficial if I'm having a "brain fog" day.
Tracy gives lots of feedback, so you know how you are doing and what you need to do or change.
The Skype sessions, during the lockdown have been so beneficial for me, being in the vulnerable group. I really look forward and really enjoy the Thursday session.

Tracy showed me lots of ways to incorporate exercise in to my daily routine. She is very considered in her approach, reassuring and responsive. But also expects you to do the work! (After all, no-one else can do it for you...) Great to have a private, 1 to 1 space, and her book is packed full of interesting and useful things.

My partner and I signed up for a block of 5 sessions. We weren't sure what to expect but Tracy was incredibly supportive, down to earth and informative. She listened to what we were hoping for, as well as what we already enjoyed, and built her advice closely around that. We have had a much needed boost since the sessions and have continued with our own workouts. We do plan to review how we are doing with the likely possibility of returning to Tracy and Coco for some "top up" sessions in the future.

Tracy is amazing! She is professional but very approachable. I needed a tailored strength program to help my running. Within three sessions we had several short programs which I could incorporate daily into my routine and also a wonderful outdoors program which I could do whilst out on a run. The programs are short but challenging and if I'm consistent and keep up with them, I know my running will improve. I will be back for more soon Tracy. Thank you once again for all your help and support.

It took me years to add on a pound here and one there (easily done after pregnancy and with still breastfeeding a toddler), and it'll probably take a while to get all of 'em extra pounds back off - but after 5 sessions with Tracy (and following the tailor-made exercise program in-between sessions), I actually managed to get myself into a pair of trousers that I'd been trying to sell as they'd gotten too small! Am pleased and glad to get back into exercising, all thanks to the support and encouragement of Tracy. Would definitely recommend her!

Tracy is inspiring and motivational! I'm a reluctant exerciser, but she personalised a training programme for me, and I now feel great! Highly recommend Tracy if you want to get healthier and add variety and fun to your workouts. She also helps with nutrition and the food side of things, which is helpful, and is very attentive in responding to any questions and advice outside of scheduled sessions. Contact her - she's awesome :)
