I’ve always felt like I’m in very capable hands

From our initial consultation I knew Eliza was a different breed, we didn’t jump into cardio, instead she took the time to look at my posture and think carefully about what I needed to work on. Eliza brings in thinking from lots of different disciplines and so there’s a lot of variety in what we do. It’s challenging and fun in equal measure. I’ve always felt like I’m in very capable hands, and she’s adapted our work-outs as things have progressed and we use a range of at-home equipment to keep it interesting. As an aside she’s also got great chat and is a fount of knowledge for everything baby and birth related which has been a real bonus…

The babies seem to have a great time

The babies seem to have a great time, with the older ones happily playing on a mat with lots of toys in the middle – and Eliza will happily hold / rock / bounce your baby if needed! I look forward to trying out her outdoor sessions.

It’s a really enjoyable, up-beat session

I started going to Eliza’s Restore, Repair etc class on Tuesday afternoon when I was 6-weeks pp. It’s a really enjoyable, up-beat session with lots of variations depending on injury’s / fitness, focusing on getting moving again and strengthening glutes / back.

They’re exactly what I need to build back my energy and strength

I’ve now attended a range of Eliza’s classes, and they’re all terrific! They’re exactly what I need to build back my energy and strength postpartum. Eliza creates such welcoming spaces, including by making it very easy to bring one’s baby along. She designs every session thoughtfully, offers lots of variations for exercises, and overall makes every class challenging yet fun. Thanks, Eliza!

Thanks to Eliza, I consistently do exercise now

My primary motivation for seeking out a personal trainer was to find someone that could help this reluctant exerciser want to come back for more. Eliza has not only done that for me but so much more. Thanks to Eliza, I consistently do exercise now – not just with her in our fantastic sessions – but in my own time too. I feel she has equipped me with the skills that I need to know in order to exercise with the correct techniques to make the mot out of what I’m doing – whether it’s a brief HIIT session, boxing or a full weights routine. She has given me the tools to actually get on and incorporate a healthier lifestyle in my day to day, and I’m grateful.

Your body is being challenged and getting stronger with each session

I really love Eliza’s classes. Eliza gives incredible thought to the exercises she gets us to do, ensuring they are appropriate for post-natal women and yet challenging enough to feel like your body is being challenged and getting stronger with each session. She guides us through the exercises to make sure we are doing them correctly.

I gained mobility

I think for me the most interesting bit was experiencing the difference when the muscles have been loosened and I gained the mobility. I found this really motivating to do something about this. Much more than someone telling me that my shoulders are forward and my back slightly curved, you were able to show me. That’s really powerful!

An unsung hero in her personalised and caring approach

As a new mom navigating the challenging waters of post-natal fitness (and motherhood), I had the immense fortune of discovering Eliza and The Warrior Method. Eliza is an incredible post-natal personal trainer and wonderful human being! Eliza is true professional who understood the unique needs and challenges that come with postpartum recovery and the pressures we put on ourselves as new mums. I cannot recommend or rate Eliza enough! Her blend of humour, empathy and fun allow a safe space to not get it right the first time but to build the resilience and strength to keep working in pursuit of your goals. She truly is an unsung hero in her personalised and caring approach. She really cares for her clients, radiates a positive and no BS attitude (even with 3 young children of her own). By emphasising exercise and strength to support positive mental health, physical strength and endurance over aesthetic, Eliza really empowers new mums and others on their individual fitness journeys.

Eliza is a fantastic trainer

Eliza is a fantastic trainer and motivator! I’ve really enjoyed working with her.

I leave every class feeling great

It feels like a group PT session rather than a cringey post-natal exercise class. Plus you get the collegiality and fun of being around other women all going through the same experiences (including Eliza herself who has three young boys). I leave every class feeling great about myself and my body!

The classes also provide an excellent way to meet other mums

Eliza’s classes are fantastic. They’re a fun way to get back into exercising after childbirth. Eliza is very supportive and the classes also provide an excellent way to meet other mums, share experiences and get support!

I’ve been such an evangelist that my husband now trains with Eliza too

I’ve felt energetic and happy throughout my pregnancy and I think these sessions are hugely responsible for that. I’ve slept well, and haven’t had the usual aches and pains, nor have my hands and feet swollen. If you’re sick of people telling you to ‘put your feet up’ but don’t know what to do, then Eliza would be a great place to start. I’ve been such an evangelist that my husband now trains with Eliza too.

Linking the emotional with the physical made total sense

I was really relaxed at the end of it. Apart from the actual massage, which felt incredibly nice and not at all painful (my worry previously when anyone suggested a sports massage), I particularly liked the starting diagnosis/questioning, where I felt heard and got some good insight into why this problem might have happened in the first place. Linking the emotional with the physical made total sense to me.

She really cares about your recovery

I have recently started attending Eliza’s Repair, Restore & Retrain classes after the birth of my second child. Eliza is passionate about women’s health and has undertaken training specific to postpartum recovery so I feel in very safe hands. She really cares about your recovery and takes any postpartum issues you may have into account during the class. As such, she pitches the classes at just the right level as well as making them fun 🙂 On top of that, she is absolutely lovely and holds my velcro baby as needed to allow me to focus on the class. 10/10! Thank you Eliza!

I was able to access much greater shoulder mobility

After the massage I was able to access much greater shoulder mobility. I noticed this in my yoga (both in down dog and warrior poses – I was able to get my arms much closer in to my ears and more vertical above my head). I have also been more aware of shoulder position when carrying rucksack, sitting, walking etc, trying to hold the shoulders low and further back. This makes some other muscles (particularly side of neck) tight and prompts me to stretch them (and receive LOOKS from Nuria). I also notice tingling sometimes when this happens, which tells me that the position of the shoulders is different but also that there is more work to do here…

I always leave feeling so much better

Love these mum and baby fitness classes with Eliza. They are a fun way to start to rebuild your fitness after having a baby. I always leave feeling so much better, and have made some new mum friends along the way too.

The workouts are perfectly designed for your post pregnancy body

I have been seeing Eliza as a PT post birth, also for group workout sessions and now am using her online sessions for nearly three years. Eliza is really down to earth with such a sunny personality it’s a pleasure to be taught by her! The workouts are perfectly designed for your post pregnancy body, are easy to follow and get you sweaty and feeling stronger in a safe way! Thank you Eliza.

The repair class is a perfect way to restart exercise after giving birth

Eliza is an amazing trainer. I find her advice very helpful especially the posture corrections. The repair class is a perfect way to restart exercise after giving birth. It’s very fun and relaxed which makes exercising with a baby so much more enjoyable.

I really liked how you listened

I really liked how you listened to my situation and were able to interpret how you could help me. I also enjoyed how you explained everything to me (I guess talking during a massage is personal preference) and that’s made me feel more positive towards how I can make an impact on my body myself.

I am feeling far stronger and more confident getting back into exercise

Eliza has been giving me postnatal PT sessions for the last couple of months and I can’t emphasise enough how fantastic she has been. Eliza takes a very warm and understanding approach, and I am feeling far stronger and more confident getting back into exercise because of her considered workouts. Importantly, she also has a cracking sense of humour. The Warrior Method is invaluable.

Would recommend to anyone who’s bored of the gym or regular fitness classes

There’s a focus on setting intentions before the sessions start and I particularly like the balance exercises which look easy, but are actually quite a struggle. Would recommend to anyone who’s bored of the gym or regular fitness classes – I guarantee you’ll learn something new and get sweaty in the process. I’m seeing progress in my strength already and look forward to getting better each week.

One of the most effective massages I’ve ever had!

You spent time understanding what my problem areas are at the start and focused on those. You made sure I was comfortable throughout in terms of the level of pressure you used, which I really appreciated. It was one of the most effective massages I’ve ever had – I felt great afterwards! Also really appreciated you showing me the two stretches after to help me loosen up those tight muscles.
