WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER
“Jaymie helped me to refocus, gain confidence and most importantly slowly and carefully rebuild my muscles. I was a very unusual case for Jaymie as I was not lucky enough to have had a baby. I had an operation removing 9 fibroids in my womb. The largest of which was the size of a 6 month foetus. So it was open surgery, very similar to a C-section. I had tried to book into a local class for postnatal mums. But the instructor would not allow me to be part of the group because I had not had a baby. I was terrified, felt very alone, did not know anyone else who had been through this and just didn’t know where to turn.
Jaymie stepped in and with her kindness and patience helped to rebuild my muscles, helped me gain confidence in my movement and of course helped me to recognise that the body is a wonderful thing to be treasured, at any size and even with scars. She is just the most supportive and inspirational person. Always there with a smile and a cuddle.
When I returned to see my doctor he couldn’t believe how much I had improved and the strength we had rebuilt. I will forever be grateful to her for everything she has done and given me.”

Sarah Anne Care update:
“Jaymie had helped me through 2 previous fibroid operations and helping me get wedding ready.
Fibroids popped up again this year but with an added complication. This time I was pregnant with large fibroids. This was a massive shock as I had been struggling to fall pregnant. I felt lost, helpless and was suffering with massive hip, bum and shooting pain down my legs.
Who you gonna call?!?…. Jaymie.
She jumped to the challenge. We have been working together weekly and she is slowly developing a programme for me to work on in my own time.
She is so caring and goes above and beyond. Always making sure I feel safe and comfortable but always making sure she pushes me. And miraculously all my pain had disappeared. She is helping me feel stronger, feel more positive about my changing body and making sure I build the strength to welcome the little munchkin next year.
She is my guardian Angel, friend and coach. I am so grateful to her for everything she does for me.
Thank you Jaymie

“I cannot recommend Jaymie highly enough. I initially wanted her help to lose weight and get fit when I thought a knee injury had ended my hockey career (my first choice form of exercise). She has not only helped me to achieve my original goals but designed a program to strengthen my legs and help overcome my knee problems which has been so successful that I’m back playing hockey!
Jaymie is now working with my husband who has a long term back problem – Her program for him is helping him to remain fit and able to continue working as an electrician. Her ability to train people with chronic injuries and in some cases even help them overcome these problems makes Jaymie stand out from other personal trainers in my opinion.”

“I’ve had an amazing year training with Jaymie, she has helped me achieve my body goals and so much more! Every week is a new and exciting challenge tailored specifically to suit my body type and fitness level.”
“I absolutely love my training sessions with Jaymie. Though she works me very hard it always feels like a great catchup with a friend. Never before did I think I would 'giggle through the pain'.
I have been amazed at how we are achieving my weight goals. With Jaymie's help I am now lighter than I have been since I was a student. But more than that I feel stronger, happier and more energetic due to the training we have done. I have also stopped having back pains, which was something I had erroneously attributed to ageing.
Jaymie's eye for detail has been a key reason for our success. If I am not positioned correctly or moving in the right way Jaymie is quick to correct the mistake, making the work both efficient and preventing injuries - something I have never had when I've trained in isolation.
I cannot wait to see what we can achieve in the coming year as we continue to giggle through the pain!”
— Guy Hescott
“The reason I continue to train with Jaymie over other trainers is because of her detailed explanations as she guides us through each exercise. These explanations allow my body to get into the correct position with ease.”
— Heather Marriott
“Jaymie is one of the sweetest, kindest, most hard working people I have ever met. She has a gentle and kind nature but isn’t afraid to put you through your paces and put you to work! She is knowledgeable and is open about the links between fitness, nutrition, mental health and sleep. She has helped me massively with focusing on the bigger picture not just a weight loss goal and has helped me massively with my strength and mobility. She has a broad knowledge on fitness from running, yoga and pilates to strength training and the ever so important foam rolling and stretching! She is brilliant at mixing sessions up and adapting to your needs. The last year has been an absolute privilege working with her, her smile on a Monday and the feeling you’re left with after a session will be greatly missed!!”
— Harriet Twells
“Jaymie offers so much more than a weekly training session”
“Thank you Jaymie for giving me a horrible exercise that got me back to running so quickly. One week out and back to 10 miles already.
Anyone looking for a pt, I would highly recommend. Jaymie offers so much more than a weekly training session - She's become my guilt stealer, advisor and friend.”
— Susan Wheatcroft
“I went to see my nurse today to be weighed etc and she was delighted by my fall in 'body mass'. She put this down to my exercise regime and my sessions with my personal trainer -Jaymie Addicott. I too am delighted and am on Facebook to tell anyone out there who wants an exercise program designed for their age and capability to try Jaymie. If you want a trainer who encourages not by shouting at you but making you laugh try Jaymie. She's great and what she does works.”
— Alan Hescott
Alan hescott update:
“Dear Friends, yesterday was my annual visit to the doctor to have my gross national product weighed. Once again the nurse was delighted as I have lost over two stone since last year and my body mass has shrunk. She called in the doctor and they wanted to know my secret and I gave it to them in two words: JAYMIE ADDICOTT. She's the best personal trainer in this part of the galaxy. She has introduced me to 'nice pain' and always arrives with a smile astride her broomstick. She might be evil but she's brilliant at what she does. If you want to lose fat, gain muscle and have a laugh doing it, then give Jaymie a try.”
— Alan Hescott
Alan hescott update:
“Hi Jaymie, just thought I'd let you know that I had the results of my annual blood tests today. My glucose level is normal and I'm not diabetic. The doctor says l'm unusual because with my past history of excess weight and my age, I should be well into diabetes. Apparently my exercise regime is exemplary. All those sessions in Pimlico started the ball rolling. Thank you Jaymie! Xxx”
— Alan Hescott
“Jaymie is amazing. Her attention to correct body positions during my pilates sessions with her means I’ve seen a massive improvement in my core muscles. As a result, I’ve recently completed the couch to 5k running programme, something I couldn’t imagine 18 months ago when I could barely stand due to back pain.”
“Jaymie is a great personal trainer. Tailoring the training specifically for my needs she helped in my recovery from the dreaded shin splints, and then helped improve my running technique. She is very patient whilst also pushing you to be the best you possible!”
— John Harris
“Jaymie is an extremely professional personal trainer. With her infectious personality and considerable knowledge of health and fitness she will push you to achieve your goal and you will enjoy and look forward to every session. I can only give her my highest recommendation.”
— David Marshall
“Jaymie is a fantastic trainer. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to fitness and nutrition and is great at working with people of all abilities. She makes you feel at ease when working with her but also pushes you to reach your goals! She is super friendly and a joy to work with.”
— Lucy Atherlay
“Training with Jaymie is everything fitness should be: hard work, educational and fun. Jaymie really knows my body and helps me move forward, building on strength and ability. Each session is different, intricately detailed and adapted for my particular needs, so it’s never dull, and she makes me want to work between training sessions.
I’ve recommended her to all my friends, she’s the best trainer I’ve ever had.”
“Jaymie has helped me both physically and mentally to get back on track with my running. She has helped me strengthen and change physically to run injury free. and in addition she has supported and assisted me in learning when to push myself and when to listen to my body and to give myself a break. Having completed 2 half marathons in 2 weeks and survived to tell the tale, I look forward to further working on my strength and technique.”
— Chris Storer
“I love your class it's fun and keeps me fit. When I started I'd had a traumatic birth and was suffering with severe anxiety and post natal depression. Coming to class helped me with feeling better about myself and to talk to other mums and get their advice whilst having a fun workout too. Since starting the class I have lost 3 stone. Jaymie is a great instructor, she's always happy and full of energy which is infectious. She's also very knowledgeable. Jaymie you are a star thank you.”
— Laura MacTavish
“Jaymie is an amazing personal trainer who works with your body to personalise a plan that targets the areas you want to focus on, by prescribing challenging exercises while keeping things fun. There's no slacking and tonnes of laughter that burns more calories.”
— Linzi Horton
“I was born with scoliosis and suffered with back pain all my life. I eventually had surgery when I was 19 but I still suffer from occasional severe pain now, so I decided to try pilates to strengthen my core to minimise the pain with my back. thank goodness I found Jaymie just at the right time! We’ve been training together for several weeks now and I definitely don’t regret choosing to work with her!
Jaymie is caring, enthusiastic, extremely positive, always punctual and a great perfectionist. She tailors the routines just for me each session and always ensures that I’m doing the exercises exactly as they should be done to prevent any injury and she definitely makes our time together fun!
She never pushes me beyond what I’m capable of but ensures that as the weeks have progressed the routines include more challenging exercises to keep increasing my strength. I’m so happy and proud of how far I’ve come with her already. I’m already seeing results and feel a whole lot better about my body, a lot stronger and more confident about achieving my long term goals!
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jaymie as a personal trainer. She’s always willing to share her expert knowledge and advice and is a great source of support and encouragement. ”
