Personal training in Tottenham, North London
Build strength, confidence and a healthier relationship with movement, without the pressure or judgement of a traditional gym.
Can't stick to a routine, or never sure what you're doing?
Do you find yourself walking around the gym from one cardio machine to the next? Always doing the same thing? Never knowing if it's working or if you're doing it right?
Or maybe you're not going to the gym at all. You're intimidated by the weights area and you don't know how to lift with safe form.
If this sounds like you, our 1-1 PT sessions will give you the foundation and confidence you need to start seeing results from your training.
Strength training is what we do. Helping women feel safe, supported and confident while doing it is what makes us different.
Women-only
Our studio is designed exclusively for women.
No crowded gym floor, no feeling watched and no pressure to fit into a space that doesn't feel right for you.
Trauma-informed
We recognise that past experiences can influence how you feel about exercise, your body and being in gym environments. Our coaching prioritises choice, autonomy, clear communication and meeting you where you are.
Truly personalised
No generic programmes. Your training is built around your goals, your body, your lifestyle and your starting point, then adapted as you progress.
Consistent support
You'll work with the same coach, on the same day and at the same time each week. Between sessions, you'll have access to your coach through our app for guidance, accountability and support.
More than a workout
Strength training is at the heart of what we do, but we also look at the bigger picture: the habits, mindset, routines and obstacles that influence your progress.
How we make results happen
Knowing what to do is rarely the problem. Doing it consistently is. Regular check-ins with your coach every 6β8 weeks, and a review with our founder, Alma, every 3 months, keep you on track long after the motivation wears off.
What does trauma-informed coaching mean?
Life leaves its mark on our bodies. Past experiences, big life changes, how we've been spoken to and how we speak about ourselves and our bodies all show up in the gym.
How it can show up
- How safe you feel
- What you're motivated by
- Stopping and starting routines
- Doubting what you can lift
- Holding back from a challenge
- Talking yourself down
- Your relationship with food and body
It isn't your fault
None of that is a lack of discipline or willpower. Often these patterns started long before you walked into a gym, shaped by years of messages about how women's bodies should look. Gym spaces just weren't built with this in mind.
How we coach you
With compassion, always. No shame and no punishment; women have experienced enough of that. We help you break the cycle of negative self-talk, so your motivation comes from self-care, not from feeling you're not good enough.
Trauma-informed isn't a buzzword here. Alma and all our coaches hold a CPD in βTaking a Trauma Informed Approach to Exerciseβ, and every coach completes AW's own trauma-informed coaching course, developed by Alma.
Personal training that goes beyond the studio
Our 1:1 Strength-Based Coaching sessions last 55 minutes and follow a programme built around your goals, movement patterns, and current ability.
Between sessions, you'll receive homework to help you move forward. This might include physical exercises to target your goals or areas of weakness, or mental and emotional tools to address your blockers.
You'll have direct 1:1 access to your coach through our app for check-ins and questions, with your training plan, video demonstrations and progress tracking. You can even send videos for feedback on your form and technique.
Your coach will meet you where you are, identifying what changes will best support your goals. We understand food is deeply personal, so all our guidance is optional. Don't want to talk about food? No problem!
Four simple steps
Start with a relaxed, private chat with Alma, our founder, about your goals, your routine and what's made it hard to stay consistent.
You choose your day and time at your consultation. We book your sessions in advance, with the same coach at the same time each week.
Intentionally more relaxed. You'll discuss the process towards your goals with your coach and move through a movement screen.
Using everything from your consultation and movement screen, your coach creates your personalised strength programme.
What our PT members say
I came from a mindset of seeing exercise as a punishment, or something to use to βmake upβ for eating βbadβ food. After working out with my trainer and going to some of the group classes, I totally changed my mindset. Before this, I didn't think that personal training was worth the expense, but I'm so glad I did this for myself.
I am middle aged, overweight and havenβt exercised in years, not to mention the dodgy knee! The trainers are great, really engaging and I am enjoying the weight training. Iβve never done it before and the sessions have been flying by!
I have been with AW Wellness for a little over a year now and it has been the best investment I have ever made in myself. My PT Sadie, Alma and the whole team have made me feel incredibly welcome and supported. If you are considering signing up for PT or classes⦠just do it!
I attend regular classes and have personal training with Alma herself once a week. The transformation of my body and mind in the last few months has been incredible, I feel strong inside and out. She inspires me to show up for myself and I genuinely look forward to our sessions.
Since working with Alma at AW Wellness I feel taller, stronger and more radiant than ever. Her nurture, expertise and discipline are exceptional. I canβt recommend this gym highly enough!
It was just what I needed postpartum to get a bit of myself back and rebuild strength. Alma and the team aren't just about fitness, but the full 360 of wellness. Whether you have experience weight training or are brand new and a little apprehensive, just do it!
Your questions, answered
What happens during the free consultation?
You'll speak directly with Alma, our founder. This is a proper deep dive into you, not just your fitness goals. We'll look at your history with exercise, what's got in the way before, how stressed or stretched you're feeling, what your day-to-day responsibilities look like, any past injuries or health conditions, and what your goals are and why they're important to you. That way, the support we offer fits your real life. We'll finish by explaining how PT works, pricing and availability. There's no obligation to join.
I'm a beginner, do I have to be fit to start PT?
Absolutely not. Many of our members start with little or no experience of strength training, and some haven't exercised regularly since school. We meet you where you're at and build from there. PT is often the best starting point for beginners, because everything is tailored to your body, your ability and how you're feeling that day. You'll have your coach's full attention while you build strength and confidence. We recommend starting with PT and adding classes as your confidence grows.
What if I've never felt comfortable in a gym before?
Many of our members felt exactly the same before they joined. You're exactly the kind of woman we created AW for. The studio is small and women-only, so there's no crowded gym floor and no one watching you. Wear whatever you feel comfortable in, go at your own pace, and ask as many questions as you like. Your coach will explain everything before you do it, and you can always say no. If something doesn't feel right, just tell us and we'll adapt it. You don't need to change who you are to fit into AW. We'll meet you where you are and help you build from there.
Do I have to commit to a year?
No. We ask for a minimum commitment of 3 months for personal training, but we recommend thinking about your goals over a longer period of time. Habits take time to integrate if you want them to be sustainable and longlasting. After your first 3 months, if personal training is not an option, you can continue training with our group classes.
You don't need the perfect workout.
You need support.
