Personal training is at the core of everything I do.
I am a qualified personal trainer based in Cardiff. I work with you to achieve your goals whether for strength training, improving movement, weight loss or just to get fitter.
From weight loss programmes to one on one Pilates, from strength training to corporate health and exercise sessions. I offer professional, qualified exercise training services for groups and individuals in Cardiff, South Wales.
I give clients a structured, tailored and varied personal training programme to help you get you the results you want. I am on your side to motivate and support you throughout the training with advice and insight into nutrition, recovery and lifestyle changes.
Personal training sessions take place from the Iechyd Da Gym in Canton, Cardiff.
My core personal training services include:
29 March update: Personal training & pilates via videocall
Personalised, one to one, couples and family sessions available. Bespoke training programmes available upon request. I can help you and your family stay healthy at home.
Fitness, Conditioning and Weight Loss
I can deliver structured exercise programmes, training schedules and nutritional advice to give real results.
Strength Training
Weight training, fitness and nutrition can bring you the strength, muscle development and results you want.
Pilates and Mobility
A great way to develop core strength and control. Pilates improves mobility and increases body awareness whilst providing strength and conditioning.

Sometimes the body needs to rest. Recovery programmes help reduce risk of injuries and help you ‘listen’ to your body, enabling you to achieve better results in the long term.
Fitness Workshops
A great way to learn about health, fitness and nutrition. Structured around your groups needs.
Courses
I am in the process of completing summer residential courses. If you are interested, please contact me for more details.

From lunch time Pilates, to after-work exercise strength and circuit training, let me create the perfect training for your business.
Health Sessions
Strength, posture, nutrition, movement and lifestyle all play major parts in our body's health. Find out more about how achieving good health is far more than just exercise.
I love getting my clients to the point where they turn to me and say 'what's next?!'.
HelenMarie, personal trainer

HelenMarie has changed the whole way I approach food and exercise and has taught me to respect my body. She has been more than just a PT for me and I have reached massive goals that I didn’t think was possible 2 years ago, mentally and physically. With the help of HelenMarie, we have rehabilitated a sprained and weak ankle, and she has helped me to use exercise to keep anxiety at bay. The structured programmes that HelenMarie individually creates are easy to follow and make me feel like a super woman! I cannot recommend her enough!
F. Williams
HelenMarie is a brilliant trainer who has been a massive inspiration for me. She’s much more than a PT – she’s sorted me out with advice about diet, keeping healthy – and life in general. I can’t recommend her enough.
T. O’Shaughnessy
I thoroughly recommend attending HelenMarie’s pilates classes. I saw an advert on line for a beginner’s class in Canton and went along on my own. I was made to feel welcome straight away in a small class of about 10 people.
HelenMarie is very patient and tailors the exercises to meet each individual’s needs/ abilities. I am definitely feeling the benefit.
J. Knight
HelenMarie manages to combine a practical, results driven approach to exercise with very personalised sessions: she really goes out of her way to make sure that you are in the correct position to extract maximum benefit from each exercise, she listens and encourages you to go that little bit further and achieve results.

HelenMarie has a professional but friendly manner. She is an excellent teacher – always calm but also genuinely interested in helping everyone progress safely and at their own pace. Her explanations are clear and easy to understand. Pilates class has become a highlight of my week! Absolutely recommend.
Jo McGill
I’ve been going to HelenMarie’s Pilates class regularly for the best part of a year, and have enjoyed every minute of it!
HelenMarie brings a lightness of spirit and fun to the class whilst ensuring individual safety and care within each of the moves. She is always careful to find out if any of us has any injuries/ physical issues so that the exercises can be adapted accordingly, and we then get the best from our body and the class!
Since going to HelenMarie’s Pilates class I’ve gained in strength and flexibility, and look forward to continuing improvement!
Bernadette

I attended some of HelenMarie’s Pilates classes at my local gym, after returning to Pilates following eye surgery last winter. The classes are excellent and strengthening but I was also so impressed by HelenMarie’s calm, professional manner and that she went out of her way to ensure I was looked after.
E. Maynard
HelenMarie is an excellent PT. She is very friendly, approachable and makes me give my best, making me strive to get better and better each week. Not only has she helped me build confidence with exercise (in particular with weight training), but she is in tune with keeping posture correct – which for me is key, given legacy injuries. In addition to this she also gives me valuable nutritional advice to help achieve my goals. I look forward to each of my PT sessions and I can really see the results! Thanks HelenMarie!!!
S. Harrison
Excellent classes with a teacher who has a good understanding of each individual’s requirements and tailors exercises accordingly to meet their needs, whilst at the same time retaining inclusivity and ensuring that everyone feels part of the group. This is helped by classes being small and friendly, enabling personal one to one support when required. HelenMarie is a warm, welcoming, dedicated and enthusiastic teacher with a caring and supportive approach – but she challenges the class too and inspires us to keep trying! The hour really flies by, but each week I feel the benefits and look forward to developing even greater strength and flexibility through ongoing participation in these great classes.
