I’ve always been body conscious and struggled to stay motivated when it came to diet and exercise but a friend of mine suggested we did small group PT sessions with Nat, and I can confidently say it is the best decision I have ever made.
Nat makes her sessions tough, but fun and I’m so pleased to be seeing results. I feel that I am getting stronger week by week and feel the healthiest I’ve been in a long time!
Thank you Nat, you are the best! ❤️

Thank you Aisling for your review!! 🤩
Seeing your confidence grow over the duration of our sessions has been amazing!! You are looking incredible, and gained so much strength already! 💪🏼🤩

“I’ve always wanted to be skinny. It was always my aim. My mantra since my teen years was always “just lose more weight and you’ll be happy”. I was never happy though, I never liked how I looked. After years of yo-yo dieting, over restrictive calorie deficits, and then subsequently binge eating…I wasn’t happy. What a shock, eh? 😅
I finally got myself into a better place with my diet and decided I wanted to start exercising, but had no clue where to start and knew I needed some accountability to encourage me to carry on and push myself. After reading a couple of Nat’s Instagram posts, I knew she was the PT for me.

I walked in there that first day still with the mindset of “this will help me lose weight and I’ll be happy then”. 11 months later and that’s not how I feel at all. I don’t want to be skinny, I want to be strong. I don’t want to lose more weight, I want to fuel my body for my gym sessions. I want to lift heavier weights, I want to smash PBs, watch my arms, back, and legs become more defined, see my glutes grow (please 👀). This shift in mindset is huge for me and I couldn’t have done it without Natalie. Going to The Hayloft hasn’t just helped my physical health, but my mental health too. Choosing Natalie as my PT was one of the best decisions I’ve made.
She encourages you and pushes you when you need it, but also listens and knows when you’re struggling and need to take a bit of time. That’s important in a PT because it’s realistic and you never once doubt that Nat is 100% on your side and wants you to succeed. Knowing that gives you such lift and makes you think “actually, I can do this”. I’m excited for my future fitness journey, I want to see my strength grow, and Natalie definitely won’t be getting rid of me anytime soon! I still have a long way to go, but I’m happier with my body than I’ve ever been and can’t wait to see what I can achieve.”
Thank you Alice! 💗

“I have always been quite slim but with a big bum and legs so always around an 8/10 but I knew when I was struggling to fasten sizes that were always too big I needed to get myself back and start to feel good about myself again. I also had a wedding dress to fit into within 4 months and I didn’t want to look back on photos feeling like I wish I’d lost more weight. I love my food and I hate exercise that’s my problem 😂 so the idea of PT just seemed like my idea of hell to be honest. Especially with a baby trying to arrange childcare out of work. I then arranged with a family member to team up and do PT in a small group of 3 with Natalie and I’m so so pleased I agreed. We used each other for motivation and I also used Natalie as babysitter 😂 she’s been absolutely amazing from start to finish actually listening to our wants and needs, not only testing our capabilities but also pushing us where we need to be pushed but also not being too hard on us where we feel like we can’t be honest with her. She’s not the kind of PT you have to dodge after a bad weekend and understands that people have a lifestyle also and it’s not all 100% healthy diet. To me this was huge as something unrealistic wasn’t going to work for me. Not to mention the fact Nat took my baby each session and took complete care of her so that my sessions wasn’t interrupted just goes to show she really does go above and beyond for her clients. My wedding came around and my final dress fitting my dress was 2 sizes too big which made my day! On my actual wedding day not once did I feel body conscious like I was worried about and after looking at my photos none of them made me feel uncomfortable about my weight. I honestly wouldn’t have been able to achieve these results without Natalie and her expertise and although I’m super happy with my results so far I’ve not got to where I’d like to be just yet I’ve decided to continue my PT (to my own suprise) 😂 which is a drastic change from the weeks I was counting down how many sessions I had left! Thankyou Natalie and if you’re looking for a PT who understands a girl has needs (food obvs 😜) then I 100% would recommend you contacting Nat!”

Thank you Chloe💗

The Hayloft Fitness is running a fitness REPs challenge event at 9.30am Saturday 12th March 2022.

We are welcoming all members and any of their guests (family members/friends/partners) and Hayloft Fitness PT clients to take part.

We are also asking for donations & support for those who are unable to take part 🙏

Head Personal Trainers Ella & Natalie, have devised the ultimate fitness challenge.

We don’t say this lightly. This will be a grueling event and it will test the sheer grit, determination and resilience of all who take part.

In other words, a bloody good challenge! For the main event, we’re splitting into two competing teams, EBPT (Ella) vs. NCPT (Natalie).

We’re asking for your sponsorship and/or participation to help us hit £500+ for either:

NCPT Ruenen’s Retreat
EBPT Willow Wood
*All proceeds from entry fees, sponsors and donations go to the winning teams chosen community charity.

We will accept donations from anyone that wants to show their support and/or participation. This will mean a great deal to us, knowing we have the backing of the community behind us to help do something positive for everyone involved.

MAIN EVENT
Here’s how it will work

Teams will be split fairly. The challenge will be adapted to suit all levels of fitness. This will be a timed event for a total of 45 minutes. The team that reaches the target rep goal set (as a collective) in the fastest time wins 😈 🔥

Straight after the main event, follows optional head to head individual challenges. These will be short, fun and quick fired rounds 🤩

Individual Head to Head Challenges

In addition to the main team event, we are running optional head to head fitness challenges, whereby those who participated in the main event will be entered to compete with someone of matched fitness ability from the same or opposing team.

Prizes for Head to Head Winners

There will be individual prizes for winners of the head to head challenges. This will be anything from their choice of Hayloft Fitness personalized merchandise, personal training, sports massage, vouchers for the spa etc etc.
Results from the main event will help the head coaches determine matches.

Cost to enter/ How to donate
https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/8HlvHbhxwb

The entry cost is £15 per person. This is a non-profit event, all proceeds will go straight to Willow Wood or Rueban’s Retreat. You can donate the entry fee and/or ask people to sponsor you by sharing the payment link. Awards given to individuals who raise the highest amount of sponsors and/or donations raised.

You are not expected to be super fit to take part. Any fitness level can join. We will be putting our experience at the forefront of this event and will work hard to make sure it’s suitably challenging for all involved.

Are you unable to take part but I would still like to help?
We would really like your support in helping to promote and share our sponsor link and spread the message on the lead up to the 12th March.

To hit our target we are going to need sponsors outside of entry fees.

You can support us by donating in any way you can. This may be financially or by supplementing our prize giveaways for the head to head challenges.

Depending on the scale of the event we may need some volunteers to help us manage logistics on the day too.

If there’s something you’d like to get involved with or any other ideas of contribution to help then do let us know!

Above all we hope to make this a great morning for all those involved, a physically and mentally rewarding feel-good event. Whereby we all come together as a community to make a difference to a local charity ♥️

I made a mistake…

I made a huge mistake yesterday, I jumped on the scales and then allowed the numbers to make me feel like I had failed.
I feel really good, currently feel really strong and energised but allowed all that to disappear in a matter of seconds because the number on the scales wasn’t matching up to the number in my head.

Please remember, a number isn’t a true indication of our worth.

Look for improvements in -
Your strength,
Your confidence,
Your smile,
Your s*x drive,
Your happiness,
Your mental clarity,
Your energy levels,
Your moods.

… not just a number.

I remember feeling guilty for the space I held in this world because of how others made me very aware, their space was more important; and mine - well, It merely existed because theirs did too.
There comes a level of loneliness when you can be in a room full of people and feel alone. Can be in public spaces, celebrating birthdays and holidays but feel like you need to dull your shine, don’t laugh too loud, don’t put a foot out of place.
I am now first on the dance floor, first one to make a complete d*ck out of myself happily, laughing and enjoying life. I am not afraid to speak my truth or stand up for myself, stand my ground and fight a corner I believe in - my space is mine to do as I wish.

I sometimes look back on the old me and wish I could give her a cuddle and tell her it all works out, I also accept we have to go through these struggles sometimes to get where we need to be.
Your space is yours, for you to be you.
And what a rubbish world it would be without your space in it💗

Leg dayyyyyy🔥
What are you training today?
- even as a PT myself (not that being a PT means anything but people often assume that us PTs are incapable of feeling negatively about ourselves), today I nearly backed out of going to the gym - not because I was tired, too busy or not motivated; but because I didn’t feel ‘nice enough’.
I feel bloated, heavier and my brain started playing those little tricks on me that I’ve spent years correcting. ‘These shorts show too much wobbly bits’ ‘you can’t wear them infront of people’, ‘save the shorts for another time when you’re happier with yourself’.
I didn’t listen, and I went to the gym, I wore the shorts and really enjoyed my session (my legs are still shaking🤣☺️)
Please remember when these negative feelings arise; and they will for all of us at one time or another - that they are BULL.
Accept your imperfections, love your body because it does so much for you, and turn the negatives to positives. ‘These legs may be a little wobbly, but they are strong’, ‘my arms aren’t as lean as they used to be, BUT look what else I can do that I couldn’t a year ago’ …
These wobbly bits, stretch marks and cellulite makes us US, and that’s sooo powerful.
- oh and wear them f*cking shorts and own it! 🔥
