Client Experiences

Everyone’s starting point is different, but the common theme you’ll see in these reviews is increased confidence, consistency, and feeling supported throughout the process. These are real experiences from people who have trained with me in person, online, or through youth coaching.

One of the best decisions I've made was reaching out and joining Fit and Fuel. From first chatting with Libby everything just felt easy and fell into place. I was going to the gym, stuck in a mundane routine, switching to training at Fit and Fuel has challenged me both physically and mentally which is exactly what i needed. I've never had one session that has been the same. Whether its strengthening or plyometrics, Libby keeps you on your toes, educates during sessions and genuinely cares about your goals and the progress you want to make. At 39 years old I'm currently the fittest I've felt in years

Finlay is absolutely loving his S&C sessions with Libby! He's already very active and really enjoys being able to do something completely different each week. He's just competed in his school athletics and cross country competitions and is already so much faster!

Libby is amazing at what she does, she is very knowledgeable and friendly. A great motivator to keep you going through hard sessions and enjoys a laugh while doing so! Couldn’t recommend her enough for beginners or advanced gym goers!

I've just gone back to classes after several years of doing nothing and was so nervous. I am absolutely loving it! Libby is amazing and adjusts the exercises to fit in around injuries etc. She is so supportive and encouraging. I can't recommend her more highly. If I can do it anyone can. Give her a go, you won't regret it!

I've been training with Libby for over six weeks now, and the experience has been fantastic. As a runner it's crucial for me to have a trainer who understands my specific needs, and Libby definitely delivers. She tailors the exercises perfectly to support my running goals. One of the most significant achievements has been the reduction in my body fat, which is a testament to her expertise and the effectiveness of her training programs. What sets Libby apart is her ability to create a safe and supportive environment. I've struggled with other gyms in the past, but Libby's approach makes working out enjoyable and stress free. Her positive attitude and encouragement have made a huge difference to my motivation and overall fitness journey. I highly recommend Libby to anyone looking for a personal trainer who is knowledgeable, supportive and genuinely cares about their clients.

Loved every second of being trained by Libby, very knowledgeable and personalises everything from training to nutrition plan down to what suited me and my ability. Never had better results than what I do now even from other trainers. Kind and friendly girl, couldn’t recommend enough.

I came in nervous as I didn't know what to expect. Libby made me feel at ease and comfortable. She advised me how to make the most out of exercises to get the best results. It was fun and I didn't feel intimidated or out of depth. I love the energy that Libby has and the alternative exercises that adapt to all levels. She's an amazing instructor.

I cannot thank Libby enough for what she does! As a disabled person with sight issues it was hard to find someone who would take me on but Libby took up the challenge and tailors every exercise to what I need and what I am limited to...the peak example of a personal trainer!!!

Chloe Hills
PT Client
I’m working with Libby twice a week for personal training. She has listened to my goal and tailored the sessions to focus on what I want to achieve, sending me a session plan before each session to make sure I’m happy with it or whether I’d like to change anything. She’s knowledgable and explains to me the purpose of each exercise and the physiology of it, and is a great motivator when I’m flagging. Would definitely recommend for PT sessions!
Amy Parker
PT Client
Libby’s amazing at what she does, she made me feel at ease the second I walked in the door and I have been loving every minute of it. She has personalised our plan around not just my goals but my ability and I couldn’t recommend her enough!
Jessica Lake
PT Client
After not doing any classes or fitness training for several years, I decided to attend Libby's classes at Fit and Fuel. She is so friendly, very informative and made me feel so welcome. The classes are great and tailored to your strengths and weaknesses. She is so supportive and very encouraging. I would suggest to anyone, like me, who has been out of fitness for so long, to go and try one of the classes. You won't be disappointed and I'm sure you will surprise yourself.
Karen Handson
PT Client
I was really nervous as I haven't exercised for a while, Libby was incredibly supportive and encouraging. The strength training was great and Libby adapted and demonstrated the exercise to accommodate my ability. The boxing exercises were really fun and the circuit training was well organised and varied with appropriate recovery time between each circuit. When I finished the entire session, I really felt energised, I knew that I'd worked hard within my limitations and felt safe under the guidance of such a knowledgeable and approachable fitness instructor, thank you Libby.
Tracey Hunter

After 4 years of no excercise, i can't believe how much I'm enjoying these fitness classes with Fit & Fuel in Hebburn. I m on to my 3rd week now and starting to see my body shape changing.
