Women's fitness redefined

Building strength & confidence without guilt, pressure, or perfection.

Does staying consistent feel harder than it "should"?

Maybe you’ve been:

Stopping and starting because life keeps getting in the way.

Stuck between wanting to move and not knowing where to begin.

Worrying that you’ll “never be able to stick to anything.”

Feeling guilty for deviating from the plan.

Exhausted by programmes that seem to expect perfection.

But the truth is, you’re not failing  and you were never the problem.


The fitness industry is built on unrealistic expectations: It's not designed to set you up for long-term success.

You deserve support that meets you where you are — with kindness, clarity, and a pace that fits your life. Support that helps you feel amazing and creates progress you can sustain.

Because short-term wins aren’t enough.


You deserve results that last.

A better way to build strength, confidence & consistency

I don’t believe in punishment, extremes, or “all-or-nothing” plans. My approach is different. Instead, I combine strength training, mindset work, and education to create a path that’s:

Compassionate 

Supporting you every step of the way, without guilt, shame or pressure.

Evidence-based

Guidance grounded in science, so you can trust your body is getting a safe, effective path to strength and wellbeing.

Sustainable

Teaching habits that work with real life, not just for the short term.

Empowering

Understanding the “why” behind every choice, so you can make confident decisions long after our work together ends.

This isn’t about chasing a number on the scale or punishing your body to fit a trend. It’s about creating fitness and wellbeing that lasts — and hopefully feels good while you do it!

Long-term health doesn’t come from a short-term fix.

Here's how I can help​:

What My Clients Are Saying

"For too long, I was stuck in a rut with my diet and exercise. But Rachel took the time to understand my needs and lifestyle. The transformation in my confidence has been immeasurable—I even went swimming for the first time in 10 years!"
 

Pippa G

"I’ve spent a lifetime battling with myself, but Rachel helped me take a different approach to my health. Slowly, sensitively, and steadily, I am making changes that will last. I’m now fitter, more confident, and equipped to manage my diet, activity, and mindset."
 

Karen F

"I’ve gone from never exercising in front of others to having the confidence to attend classes and work out around other people. Rachel has made a dramatic difference, not only to my physical health, but to my overall confidence and attitude to exercise."

Claire R

"In the past I couldn’t stand working out and felt disconnected from my body. Rachel tailors sessions to my abilities and her support, patience, kindness, and humour has led me to feel comfortable and in tune with my body. I now actually look forward to exercise!"

Emily R

"As I reached my menopausal years, I needed guidance to stay healthy. Rachel has been a catalyst for building body confidence, strength, and flexibility. I now feel in better shape physically and mentally, and I love the calm, measured approach she takes."

Daney W

"Rachel has been an inspiration. When I started working with her, I was very overweight and lacking confidence. Her advice on nutrition and exercise has helped me become more flexible, begin to lose weight, and feel encouraged every step of the way."

Bridget M

"RESET has helped me put an end to the all-or-nothing cycle I was stuck in. The down-to-earth, steady approach makes it easier to stay consistent and kinder to myself along the way. For the first time, I’m developing a routine that feels realistic for life, not just for a few weeks."

Sarah B

"RESET has helped me rethink my relationship with exercise and food in a way that finally feels sustainable. The focus on self-compassion has been a game changer and I no longer push myself out of guilt or pressure. I feel stronger, calmer, and more at ease in my own body."

About

Rachel Amies personal training for women

Hi, I’m Rachel, and I help women feel strong, confident and at home in their own skin.

 

I know how it feels to strive for perfection, be at war with yourself, and not know how to break the cycle – which is why my coaching centres on learning to trust your body, instead of punish it.

Since 2013, I’ve supported over 150 women with my evidence-based, compassionate, and sustainable approach to health and fitness.

Life Outside Coaching

I believe that fitness should give you the energy and confidence to enjoy the things you love — for me, that’s hiking, trail running, and spending time with my dog; exploring new countries, practicing piano, and singing at the top of my lungs when no one's watching.
