About

Who am I? What can I do for you? And what does ‘Intuitive Fitness’ mean?

Health

I’m a ‘health first’ personal trainer. I don’t believe that a smaller body size equates to health, I believe that you can be healthy at every size.

Fitness

I can improve your fitness and help you become faster, stronger, increase your flexibility and confidence and feel healthier and happier as a result.

Nutrition

Intuitive eating goes hand in hand with intuitive fitness. I use this framework to guide you towards gentle nutrition and also how to fuel appropriately for particular sports events/races.

Wellness

All of this comes together to improve your mental wellbeing, by sleeping and eating well, moving your body and feeling happy and confident in yourself.

I’m Aimee and I’m a Level 3 qualified personal trainer. I am also a qualified pre and post natal trainer.

I believe that there is more to life than counting calories and stepping on scales, I’ve been down that rabbit hole and it is miserable. When I was younger, I exercised obsessively, and I didn’t give my body adequate fuel to do that. I’m super proud of my marathon times, but I suffered as a consequence of over training and under eating. ⠀
⠀
When I decided to make a change it was hard. Years of my brain telling my stomach it could only have cake if I’d run X miles were not easy messages to silence. My legs were itching to pound the pavements. But slowly, one day at a time I taught myself how to exercise for fun again and to eat when I was hungry rather than on a schedule. ⠀

Now, I feel rested and energised. I’m proud of my body and what it’s been through and I listen to it. ⠀
⠀
I want to help people feel the way I do and enjoy food and activity for what it is, fun.

I don’t believe that health equates to a smaller body size. I believe that you can be healthy at every size, hence why I never weigh or measure my clients.⠀
⠀
In so many cases better health is associated with weight loss, but actually this effect is from the improvement in health related behaviours such as exercise, nutrition and sleep, not being thinner.

Health at every size doesn’t mean that people are healthy at every size, but by using health promoting behaviours I will improve your fitness and wellbeing, which isn’t necessarily being a size X or ‘normal’ BMI.

How am I different to most PTs?

I want to help you achieve your goals with a sensible approach that can change your lifestyle in a positive way forever, rather than depriving and punishing your body. It’s not about losing inches, pounds or body fat percentages. If weight loss is a by-product of having a healthy, active lifestyle then so be it, but it should not be the sole reason for moving your body.
⠀
I want to improve your fitness and help you get faster, stronger, increase your flexibility and confidence and feel healthier and happier as a result.⠀
⠀
I want to give you the tools to help you improve your mental wellbeing, by sleeping and eating well, moving your body and feeling happy and confident in yourself.⠀
⠀
I don’t encourage over-exercise, it should be fun and a celebration of what your body can do, not a punishment for what you ate or how you think you look. I don’t encourage undereating, food should be enjoyed, not earned or felt guilty about. ⠀
⠀
I am here to help you with whatever your goals are, but I want you to listen to your body and remember that movement should be fun and an act of self-care for both your body and mind.

Aimee spends time with you understanding what your goals are and works with you to design the best program to achieve these. She will not focus on weight related motivations (which I struggled to accept at first!) but instead on your health and fitness achievements, which as I went through the course became far more important to me. Since working with her, following the people she suggested on Instagram and reading about it more, I can feel I’m starting to unpick some deeply ingrained lessons about food, diet and exercise.
I can work with her at a time that fits around my family and work, in a way that I can replicate at home without the need for loads of equipment and in an environment where I don’t feel under pressure or judged at all. I have felt incredibly proud of the progress I've made so far and look forward to seeing how much further I can get. It feels like this is a change I can keep up - it doesn’t feel like a fad, but a new way of looking at exercise and what I want to get out of it.

‘Aimee is warm, friendly and approachable. She worked me hard and gave me challenges that were tough but achievable. I really liked the week on week report which helped provide tangible evidence of improvements. This was really encouraging. I also liked the What’s App check-ins. For the first time in my life I haven’t cared about the number on the scales. I’m going on holiday on Saturday and I haven’t dieted. This is a first!
Never stop banging the drum about exercise being achievable and enjoyable for everyone. I feel fitter than ever, I feel strong and I feel confident. I couldn’t give a sh!t about what other people think of me in swimwear. Life is too short!

I have been using Aegle Intuitive Fitness for 12 weeks. Originally for Strength and Conditioning for a long-distance Triathlon, but with cancellation of events Aimee amended the training to match the new goal of a Marathon.
The sessions meet my needs as a longer distance athlete. They are always engaging and rewarding.
As a PT she pushes me to achieve my goals. I couldn't recommend her enough!

Aimee took time to understand my goals and current injuries before putting a program together that worked around my lifestyle. She keeps in touch between sessions to see how I’m getting on and provides alternative solutions when something doesn’t work. Although I’ve mainly been doing low impact work initially it’s been great to finally get out and do some exercise after giving birth 6 months ago, and it’s given me the confidence to carry on and eventually get running again. As a mum herself Aimee has been really supportive and understanding of my situation and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

I would highly recommend working with Aimee to anyone! She carefully takes time with you to develop your goals and puts together a personalised plan to fit around your life that I was also able to do remotely, as I live in London. And even though I did my HIIT session over a video call it felt like Aimee was right there in the room encouraging me. My main issue was lack of motivation that had led to me loosing fitness over the last year or so, so I approached Aimee to try to get myself back into training and my main goal of back into running. With a combination of HIIT, runs, running sessions and cycling, Aimee managed to help me get my fitness back over the 6-week programme and was there supporting me at any point I needed. She managed to get me from the point of dreading getting out for a run and a 3-mile run feeling like I had lead legs to running 5-miles faster and feeling so much stronger - this is something I never thought I could have turned around in 6 weeks but with Aimee's training I did. For anyone at any level of fitness looking for someone to help you reach those goals that you've been struggling to on your own, then Aimee really is the one to help you get there. Thank you so much Aimee!!

I’m a mum of 3 small children which sometimes makes it difficult to do any exercise at all. I attend Aimee’s bootcamp class on a Thursday morning in Melbourn and we all really enjoy it. The kids get to run around in the fresh air while I get to do a full body workout for 45 minutes and they often join in with the exercises too. Aimee is friendly and encouraging, she always has a smile on her face, and I would recommend her bootcamp classes to anyone.
