PERSONAL TRAINING
This is one on one personal training in the clients home or a park of their choice. I offer one hour sessions with competitive rates, so please do get in touch for more information. I follow all government guidelines including wiping down pieces of equipment, and also ask for you to bring any equipment you would like to use and also to bring your own mat.
As a qualified pre/postnatal trainer I specialise in training women who are looking to get back to their pre baby weight or just looking to improve their fitness levels.
If you would like to train with friends then the pricing structure would be different but would work out cheaper per person than the one to one training, up to 4 people in a group. please message for details.
I also offer gift certificates if you are looking to buy either a single or block of sessions for your loved one. Please do enquire for more information.
online TRAINING
I also offer training services via Skype/Whatsapp video call/Zoom where I can train you in the comfort of your own home while correcting your form and technique, as well as keeping you motivated throughout the exercises. These sessions would work out cheaper than my standard personal training sessions so please do enquire for rates.

Also if you think your business could benefit from me running a workshop at your company, please do not hesitate to get in touch
tESTIMONIALS
"Russo is a kind, brilliant, patient and motivating PT. I was struggling with weight gain post 2 children, working full time etc and finding excuses to not work out. I decided to invest in myself rather than investing in bigger clothes. She was brilliant getting me through quite a tough couple of months health wise. Even though I was exhausted I still looked forward to our sessions and I think they kept me sane.
She plans the workouts for each client before arriving so they are structured and never repetitive. She is very careful with recurring injuries. Always checking in during a session and adapts them accordingly. She can also entertain you with stories of her stunt and film work while you are working out!" Catherine
"Russo is a fantastic personal trainer. She has such a wide experience of exercises and techniques and this has made all the difference for someone like me that needs the motivation. And we have fun! She pushes me, but because it doesn’t feel repetitive, time goes so quickly. I would recommend Russo to anyone." Nadia
"Russo is a very experienced and charismatic PT, she tailors her sessions really well to the client and makes it great fun too. She pushes me just the right amount. The sessions are distanced and the equipment is sanitised in front of me. Russo also seems knowledgeable about diet and health in general and has useful tips." Sophie
"I’ve been a client of Russo’s for over a year, and recommended her to friends. We all love her; she pushes you, supports you, makes you laugh and also sometimes makes you curse her (in the best possible way!). I’m fitter than I’ve ever been, and also thank Holly for keeping me sane through (safe) sessions throughout lockdown." Jacqui H
"Russo's sessions are dynamic and innovative. She puts a lot of effort into designing routines that introduce new exercises every time and the range of equipment she uses is great. Russo has an upbeat and friendly personality that makes you feel at ease but motivated at the same time, so every hard working session is a lot of fun." Ana B
"I love Russo's sessions. She designs a different programme to fit with the weather. The outdoor sessions are brilliant as well as the indoor ones. I particularly enjoy the boxing part and the stretching of course! I heartily recommend her!" Maria S
"I enlisted Russo's help soon after rejoining work, following a year of maternity leave and discovering that the four flights of stairs to my desk, that were a breeze pre pregnancy, were now leaving me red faced (physically and metaphorically speaking!) Russo has been great in considering my needs and coming up with simple exercises that I can (in theory!) do at home to fit around looking after the baby. She's also good at keeping the sessions varied, is flexible with where and when we can meet and is always punctual. On top of that she is absolutely lovely and turned exercise from something I dreaded to something I actually look forward to." Farrah R
"Russo helped me return, in fact surpass, the level of fitness I had achieved prior to my pregnancy. She has a wonderful ability to interpret your goals and match them to your abilities and how you’re feeling. She knows how to encourage and inspire, without being overly pushy and makes every session enjoyable. I’m so glad to have met her and benefitted from noticeable results in both body and mind." Emily H
“Russo is an excellent personal trainer. She is friendly and makes the session’s enjoyable yet hard work. She was the perfect PT to have post pregnancy to help me get back into shape and feel fit again. She also made it easy for me to fit PT workouts around my baby. I really appreciated having a female PT too.” Farzana
"Russo is lovely to boot and will not only seriously knock you into shape but actually make you laugh at the same time." Andrea L
"I fully recommend Russo. She helped get me back into exercise and shape after my children, and as an added bonus often held my baby whilst encouraging me to do more! She really understood my body post pregnancy, assessed my abdominals and progressed my exercises accordingly, thank you." Alex
