Say Fitness Personal Training

Yasmien is an outstanding PT, Pilates teacher and all around lovely and supportive person to work with.
- I have been a PT client of Yasmine around 7 years ago at the start of her career, and again in 2023. Yasmine is hugely knowledge and develops a challenging yet achievable programme with important mobility aspects. On both occasions I sought support for strength training while training for half marathons, and Yasmin’s running centred strength programmes kept me injury free. In 2023 Yasmin also wrote a programme that I could complete in my own gym sessions as follow up to my PT sessions. I am relatively experienced now at lifting weights, but Yasmine’s pointers helped me to learn more, and my squats became more consistent and stable.
- Yasmine is a fantastic Pilates teacher with clear instructions, a supportive environment, and a good range of options for each exercise to suit both the beginner and the experienced Pilates student. The mobility focus and calm environment mean she is the Pilates teacher I keep going back to for over 8 years now, and she advertises her classes on her website and in her newsletter.
- Yasmien has rich resources on her YouTube channel that I return to time and again, and if you ever get the chance to attend her boot camps, it’s great fun!
Thanks Yasmine!

I have been training with Yasmine for over 4 years now. I really enjoy our sessions and have made huge progress. Yasmine is thoughtful about how to get the best out of her clients. She really listens to their health and fitness goals, then helps them to achieve them. She is professional, approachable and friendly. Couldn’t ask for a better PT!

I have been a regular at Yasmine’s Pilates classes for several years and she is an excellent teacher - instructions are calm and very clear, the classes are brilliantly paced - a steady build and never boring - always with options for different levels - you are challenged but never pressurised and you leave feeling you‘ve worked every muscle. I find Yasmine’s classes very much compliment my yoga practice and I can see they work for almost anyone from complete beginners to athletes, she always makes the effort to get to know individual levels and weaknesses/ injuries and advises accordingly. I highly recommend.

Yasmine is an incredible Pilates instructor and personal trainer. She is hugely personable and knowledgeable, which made every training session with her a real pleasure. I trusted her entirely with my training, and if I could, I would happily train with her all year round. Yasmine always creates a safe and warm training environment, which I find is rare and really precious - I feel very lucky that I crossed paths with her. If you’re looking for a personal trainer who will tailor a programme that is perfectly suited to your needs and ability, look no further! Thank you again, Yasmine!

Yasmine quickly grasped my strengths and weaknesses and my fitness goals and has already made a huge difference to my confidence which in turn fuels my commitment to improve further.

Really lovely PT sessions! Yasmine is a very dedicated and thorough PT who makes you feel comfortable in her sessions and is genuinely focused on getting you to your goals. Highly recommend Yasmine’s sessions for anyone that isn’t sure how to reach their targets and wants friendly, tailored advice.

I have taken Yasmine’s pilates classes for a few years and have just started personal training for some additional strength work. I highly recommend her both as a pilates teacher, and as PT. She is an extremely knowledgeable, professional instructor who emphasises the proper technique. She takes time to understand your goals and corrects every misalignment, posture, breathing etc to ensure you get the benefit from an exercise. Not only is she a fantastic teacher, she has a great personality and is a pleasure to spend an hour with (even if my aching muscles thought differently!)

Yasmine really helped me rebuild post natal core strength. She challenged me and helped me regain strength and confidence.  She is knowledgeable, clearly passionate and lovely to work with also! 
C. Simmons, Summer 2022. 

"I first started training with Yasmine around 6 months ago. I was suffering from a long-standing diastis recti and weak core which I had been experiencing for several years. Training with Yasmine has changed my life and given me core stability that enables me to safely do sports involving the core, have less back problems and a flatter stomach! I also understand the key principles behind the exercises we’re doing and can apply them to keep good form when not with Yasmine. Yasmine is highly knowledgeable, thoughtful and great company. I am still training with her and highly recommend her!"
Clare Kimeze, May 2022

"I've trained with Yasmine for six years, with the sessions being either in the local park or in the gym. Yasmine is hugely passionate about being a trainer and this, along her ability to motivate you, makes each session really enjoyable and, obviously, worthwhile - even if it's an early winter morning in a park!

Before my weekly sessions with Yasmine, I used to go to the gym, but without achieving very much. Yasmine's weekly sessions gave my gym sessions a real focus - not just as a result of her ability to motivate but also her continual focus on technique - and made them something to look forward to. Yasmine clearly spends plenty of time preparing each session and she is continually introducing new items in order to keep it varied.

I would highy recommend Yasmine to anyone looking for a PT to improve their overall fitness and wellbeing. "
Dermot Brindley, September 2021

"I'm grateful to my physiotherapist for recommending Yasmine as a good personal trainer. As far as PT is concerned it doesn't get much better than what you get with Yasmine. After an initial chat and before the end of our first session Yasmine had established with surgical precision what my body needed and tailored a completely customised programme of exercises for me with what seemed like almost immediate results. 

For anybody - West London or further afield - who needs a professional PT with a profound understanding of your particular requirements and the skills to address them, go and see Yasmine."

"I was really lucky to meet Yasmine and have the opportunity to train with her. I spotted Yasmine amongst many PTs in the gym I was going to, as she stand out so much from the rest by her total professionalism, the way she trained her clients and interacted with them. I used to train quite a lot before, but with Yasmine it went on to be true part of my life, taken to a completely different level. Not just physical exercise, but also proper diet and other activities, including yoga and Pilates - in-depth understanding of how all the pieces come together for true fit happy living. Yasmine is a huge inspiration, she never stops learning and no training with her is ever same!" Anna Antonova 5.12.18

"I am the lucky new mama that moved to Acton and found amazing PT Yasmine soon after!  We worked together for around 4 months, during which time she completely helped to get me back on track with routine and structure and all things less fuzzy. And, would you know it, I also managed to shed a good number of pounds and get some shape back whilst at it 😊I really can't praise Yamine's PT knowledge and skills more. She brings a really intelligent, enthusiastic and pragmatic approach to sessions - with stretching but manageable goals and just the right balance of no nonsense push vs non-judgmental/ gentle encouragement - oh and fun and varied routines too. Yasmine is also a really lovely person! I really enjoyed working with her and the friendship we forged. I should also mention that the whole time we were working out together,  my little boy (pre one year old) was hanging out with us. Yasmine did a wonderful job of working around the chaos that someones brings - even incorporating him into our weight resistance workouts! I have absolutely no hesitation recommending Yasmine to other mamas - this PT really will do you the world of good! Thanks so much Yasmine!"

I handpicked Yasmine for some PT sessions having enjoyed some of the Pilates classes that she was running at a local gym. I knew that her warm and friendly but also no nonsense style would get the best out of me and as a doctor who sees a lot of gym injuries I also really liked the fact that she has an excellent knowledge of anatomy and physiology and knows how to get the best out of a body without injuring it.

I initially booked for 8 sessions but found them so useful that I ended up signing up for another 8. Sadly I have now left London but the bespoke work out sheets that Yasmine has provided me with means that her good work can continue.

At 38 and with two children (and two Caesarians scars to show for them!) I am in the best shape I have ever been in thanks to Yasmine. 

I would recommend Yasmine to anyone looking for a intelligent, thoughtful and professional PT (and also a PT who with a lovely smile gets that last rep out of you when you thought you had nothing left to give-she has a talent for that!). Victoria Withnell, 15.07.18

"I was struggling to find form in my running and improve my race times when I met Yasmine. With her focus on consolidating my technique and strengthening core muscles, she helped me achieve a personal best in my recent half marathon. 

Yasmine is approachable, fun to work with, and has the knack of making hard work seemingly enjoyable. A true professional!" 
Tuck Loke 16.11.16

"I've been attending the gym for a long time but I was getting frustrated with not really knowing what to do and not enjoying the experience of working out. Yasmine reflected really well on my brief and over the course of 8 sessions, provided me with a great programme that has got me using parts of the gym that I hadn't stepped into before. Yasmine's knowledge of anatomy and technique is really impressive which gave me confidence that I was lifting heavy weights safely and effectively. The best part of it all is that I am enjoying the gym again and really feel like I'm getting value from it. I would certainly recommend Yasmine to anyone considering a PT." 
Jonny Sokal: 30.08.16

I trained with Yasmine from the start to finish of my twin pregnancy.  I was a regular gym goer anyway with a good level of fitness, which I was keen to maintain as well as focus on strengthening the areas put under particular stress during pregnancy.   We met every 3 weeks when she would run me through two programmes and then email me them afterwards that I would practise alongside group classes and swimming each week before we next met.  Her programmes were pitched perfectly for that particular stage of pregnancy and energy levels, always interesting, included exercises I had never done before so keeping it constantly interesting and always ensured I had a safe but productive workout.  

I went back to the gym after 6 weeks after giving birth.  I started to follow her late pregnancy programmes and have slowly progressed back to the earlier/ more aerobic pregnancy programmes and am pleased to say that I fit all my pre-pregnancy clothes, feel great and can't wait to see Yasmine again for the next step of furthering my fitness. 

I couldn't recommend Yasmine more highly and thoroughly enjoyed my training with her. Thank you so much!

"Yasmine is great, very personable with a lot of integrity. She is hugely approachable and adaptable, tailoring our workouts to suit my energy levels and knowing exactly when to push hard and when after a hard day, to take it a little bit easier and approach our time in a restorative way. Our sessions were always full of laughter and she made all of them really enjoyable and most importantly, she made all of them count towards me being stronger and fitter.

Having worked with a number of other personal trainers, I can say that Yasmine is one of the best!"
