If you’ve never worked with a coach before it’s hard to know exactly what is going to happen.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the beginner sessions-
1- Quick Check-in + Mobility Prep (get ready and warm for the session).
2- The Main Bit- Focusing on 3/4 simple strength exercises focusing on form and control.
3- Cool down (answer any questions and run through pros of the session).
It’s nothing scary, honest!
All we are aiming to do is to build structure and confidence, not throwing you in the deep end.
The beginner kickstart is closing Monday 03/08, if you wanna join in drop me a message.
Laura here,
I grew up playing team sports, but when I first started going to a gym, I really struggled to get to grips with it. I often stuck to the cardio section but dreamt of lifting weights.
In a team, you have structure, direction and people around you. Walking onto the gym floor alone is completely different, it’s easy to feel lost, out of place and like everyone is watching you.
I know how overwhelming that feeling is, it’s the reason I coach the way I do.
I run 1-1 coaching in a quiet, private studio in Stanford in the Vale. No crowds, no waiting around for equipment and no pressure. My focus is helping women build strength, learn the right form and feel confidence in their training (and yes, cardio still has its place too!).
I still have a few spaces left for my 6-week beginner kickstart program.
If you’ve been wanting to get into or get back into strength training without the pressure of busy, chaotic gyms, drop me a DM any time.

“Everyone is watching, I don’t want to look stupid”
If that thought has ever crossed your mind when thinking about trying something new like joining the gym, I guarantee you are not the only one.
When you walk into the weights section for the first time, it feels like all eyes are on you.
You’re thinking about -
- Adjusting the machine wrong and getting stuck.
- Picking up weights that are too heavy (or too light).
- Not knowing where to stand or if there are any unwritten rules you aren’t aware of.
Here’s the truth from someone who spends most of their time in a gym- most people aren’t looking at you!
Most of the time they are figuring out their own form, wondering which exercise is next and what they are having for dinner later. But knowing this doesn’t make the fear go away.
I’ve created The 6-Week Gym Confidence Accelerator for this reason.
This isn’t throwing you into a packed commercial gym and telling you to “get on with it”.
Training in a quiet, private studio where there are never more than 5 other people in the room at once. You will get a safe, private 1-1 environment where you can ask the “stupid” questions, practice set-ups at your own pace and build the confidence you need from the ground up.
Reminder of the details-
The package - 6 weeks of step-by-step 1-1 coaching, custom app roadmap, 24/7 support, and an optional studio pass bolt on with the gym so you can practice.
The investment - £249
Officially opening spaces Thursday.

Do you live in Stanford in the Vale or the surrounding areas and secretly want to start using the weights gym, but stick to the treadmill because the weights section feels too intimidating? 🙈
Almost every beginner I speak to defaults to the cardio machines because they feel "safe." The weights section often feels like going into the deep end without knowing how to swim.
I am launching something next week specifically to change that for 3 total beginners in our local community.
Nothing overcomplicated and no judgment. We will be training at Buffalo Fitness Studio - a quiet, private studio where there are never more than 5 other people in the gym at any one time. Giving you a safe, step-by-step 1-1 environment to build your confidence from the ground up.
Here is the exact phased roadmap we will use:
Phase 1: The Foundation (Weeks 1-2) - We start when the studio is at its quietest. No heavy lifting yet. We will do an Empty Floor Walkthrough to learn exactly how to adjust the machines, select weights safely and master the basic movement patterns so you feel at ease.
Phase 2: The 1-Spot Method (Weeks 3-4) - This is where we eliminate anxiety. I will teach you how to get an effective full-body workout using just one bench and a pair of dumbbells. No wandering around the gym floor looking for equipment every exercise. Just your space, your pace.
Phase 3: Autonomy & Ownership (Weeks 5-6)- We layer on advanced machine setups and free-weight movements. By Week 6, you will be walking into the studio, setting up your own station and running through your workout with total confidence.
The 24/7 Safety Net: Outside of our 1-1 sessions, you get your custom roadmap logged clearly on my coaching app, weekly habit tracking and direct message support from me so you are never left guessing.
The Investment:
- 6-Week Private 1-1 Coaching: £249 upfront.
- The Studio Pass Bolt-On: Add an optional 6-week studio membership (paid directly to the gym's front desk on Day 1) so you can access the facility to practice your solo sessions.
Because this is an intensive, high-touch 1-1 experience, I only have room for 3 people.
Official registration opens this Thursday morning.
