barnsley PERSONAL TRAINING TESTIMONIALS
BARNSLEY PERSONAL TRAINING Testimonials
Unlike most of what you see on social media, where everyone just shares their short-lived ‘highlight reels’ before falling back into their old unhealthy habits, these are real words from real Barnsley women who have achieved real life-changing results at EmpowerHER Health & Fitness through our fun, friendly, and inclusive group personal training sessions.
“You don’t just gain fitness, emotional and physical strength, you also benefit from a fantastic training environment that creates a group of really strong women, empowering each other and cheering each other on no matter what. Since I have joined we have climbed mountains together, been on weekends away & of course got to know each other over gin & food with the socials which are organised. It’s not just a place I go to train, if you want it there is a whole community of girls who I am certainly now friends with for life.”
“I joined S75 Fitness after months of debating whether I could do it. Asking myself so many questions: Would I be fit enough? Would I fit in? Did I have the confidence to meet new people? After my first personal training session, I knew it was for me. I couldn’t have felt more welcome, Victoria is AMAZING at what she does and makes exercise fun. For me it’s not just a gym it’s a social group where we build each other’s confidence and push each other to achieve.”
“Training with Victoria is such a positive experience. She is super friendly and knowledgeable, whilst also knowing how far to push you so that you get the most out of each personal training session and achieve your goals. She’s kept our spirits up throughout the 2020 lockdown with zoom sessions. I can honestly say I look forward to every session and I always come away buzzing.”
“My motivation in mainstream Barnsley gyms had always been lacking, often ending with me stopping going 2 months into a 12 month membership. From my first personal training session, I was made to feel so welcome, not only by Victoria but the whole group. I have not only seen an increase in my fitness levels but also my confidence and that’s all thanks to Victoria (and the girls). I now enjoy training, it’s a huge part of my life and I can not wait for everything S75 Fitness has to offer!”
“Leading up to my wedding Victoria had me training really hard and also massively overhauled my eating habits! If you are thinking about wanting to lose weight/tone up, eat better, or simply change your mental health for the better, contact Victoria. She will make you work hard but it will be the best decision you ever made.”
“I can honestly say that Vicki has changed my life. I walk taller, feel more confident and feel re-educated about what I eat. I understand what works now and people comment all the time on how I look. I still weigh roughly the same, but I’ve lost inches, look leaner, have definition on my arms and legs and can wear what I want. So thanks, Victoria, you have changed everything for me and I am so pleased I took that leap of faith.”
“I started with the goal to get bikini ready for a summer holiday. Since then, unlike previous years, I continued with the personal training sessions and following her advice on what to eat as I was enjoying it so much. Thanks to Victoria I have now stopped striving for that bikini body that you see girls on Instagram modelling and I’m all about getting stronger and fitter than I was the week before.”
“I’ve been training with Vic for a few years now and absolutely can’t put a price on the difference it makes to my physical and mental health. Would 100% recommend xx”
“Such a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere - Vicky and everyone make you feel like an old friend from the start and my individual needs and well-being have always been at the core of what matters to Vicky. It’s more like being part of a mad family than anything - you just feel appreciated.”
“Spending time with a fun group of people, the exercise is just an added bonus. A complete no judgement zone, it isn’t about being the best or lifting the heaviest. Everyone has different goals, but it is a team atmosphere. I would definitely recommend to everyone!”
“I signed up in September 2018 and since joining I have become so much stronger both physically and in myself. The environment Vic creates is absolutely fantastic and means that the people there become like a little family. I would more than recommend it to anyone as it has really been a life changer for me.”
“I started having personal training sessions with Vic in July ‘19 after months of debating whether to or not. My only regret is that I didn’t start sooner. I have never enjoyed exercise before and now I barely go a day without it. I loved it so much I started going to bootcamps in September and I’ve never looked back. I was made to feel so welcome by the group and I feel so proud to be a part of something so special. Vic is so supportive and is not just a personal trainer or a coach but a good friend now. Joining was honestly the best thing I’ve ever done and I’ve never felt as confident. It has not only helped my physical health but also my mental health. If anyone is unsure whether to join.. do it!! You’ll never look back!”
“I signed up with Vic over 4 years ago and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’ve never stuck to any form of exercise before and now I get frustrated if I go a week without it! She’s so friendly, super welcoming and amazing at motivating you to push yourself to the next level. If you’ve been thinking of coming but nervous about it, don’t be! You honestly won’t regret it.”
“I used to absolutely hate any sort of exercise, I would start up memberships and never go! Then I stumbled across Victoria Hudson! I have been training with her for 3 1/2 years now and it’s not just a place to exercise and get fit, it’s also a social life! I call all the members my friend, we have such fun (even whilst doing burpees). S75 fitness is worth every penny! You get so much more than any gym! AMAZING!!!”
“I joined in July 2019 after really never sticking to any kind of gym/exercise routine in the past and I’m so glad I did. From the first personal training session there was no judgement and I was made to feel welcome straight away by Vic and everyone who trains here. I can honestly say I never thought I would find myself exercising all the way through my recent pregnancy (most of which during lockdown at home with a toddler) but I did and felt the benefits during and after pregnancy. Victoria provided advice and appropriate adaptations for exercises at every stage and gave me that nudge when I wasn’t feeling like exercising and I’m glad she did as every session boosted my mood. I can’t wait to get back to S75 Fitness soon!”
“I started training with Vic in January 2018, after following her social media for months. My motivation in mainstream gyms had always been lacking, often ending with me stopping going 2 months in to a 12 month membership. So, its safe to say I was looking for something different. From my first personal training session I was made to feel so welcome, not only by Vic, but the whole group. This has (of course) continued over the past 3 years, and I now see these ladies as my friends. I have not only seen an increase in my fitness levels, but also my confidence and that’s all thanks to Vic (and the girls). I now enjoy training!!”
“I feel so lucky to be part of S75 Fitness! It is the best decision I have ever made. Initially my goals were to improve my fitness and to be healthier. I have smashed these goals and so much more. I am more confident and happier than ever. I have smashed so many fitness goals e.g squatting 95KG and being able to do pull ups! All because of the support I have received from Vick and all the amazing girls I have met! I am so grateful and look forward to making more memories with amazing friends whilst smashing our fitness goals together! Thank you!”
“I’ve just joined S75 Fitness. I’ve been made to feel so welcome. The group personal training sessions are brilliant. The atmosphere is great and I’ve felt so supported after feeling nervous about rejoining a gym. I would highly recommend it.”
“Before I started training with Victoria I had no structure or support, I would go to the gym and give 60% effort and starve myself all week, only to undo any weight loss at the weekends. Since training with Victoria, I’ve seen so many positive changes to my body and I’ve finally found a good balance. I no longer feel like I’m constantly on a restrictive diet as I eat the food I love and enjoy every personal training session, reaching my goal now doesn’t seem so impossible!”
“Victoria is an awesome coach. She made me feel welcome right from the beginning. I’m so glad I was recommended to her and her bootcamps. Would highly recommend ❤

“Great place, really friendly people. Feel stronger and healthier than I’ve ever felt”
“I signed up around 3 weeks ago! And i wished I’d had the confidence to do it sooner! Victoria is brilliant at what she does and makes exercising weirdly enjoyable, all the ladies who go are friendly and all round fab who have made me feel very welcome into the power girl gang :)”
“I joined after months of debating whether I could do it, would I be fit enough, would I fit in did I have the confidence to meet new people. After my first group personal training session I knew this was for me i couldn’t have felt more welcome. Victoria is AMAZING at what she does and makes exercise fun. For me it’s not just a gym it’s a social group where we build each other’s confidence and push each other to achieve.”
“I joined in 2017 with the intention of losing weight, I managed to lose just under 3 stone but more importantly I learned how to sustain a healthy lifestyle and keep the weight off! Training with Victoria is such a positive experience, she is super friendly and knowledgeable whilst also knowing how far to push you so that you get the most out of each session and achieve your goals. I can honestly say I look forward to every session and I always come away buzzing. Thank you Vic!”
“What a great gym, I’ve been training here for 4 years. I started with low confidence & self esteem and what a transformation I made with the help of Vicky and everyone! It’s a fun and supportive gym, no judgements and its about being the best version of YOU. I would highly recommend to everyone!”
“I joined S75 Fitness in May 2021 and as soon as I walked through the door I was made to feel comfortable and at ease by Victoria and the other members. I’ve always struggled at mainstream gyms, often feeling anxious and not lasting but S75 Fitness is a completely different environment. My fitness has increased dramatically, I’m achieving goals I never imagined I’d be able to, made friends for life and have found a love for training!”
“Absolutely lovely bunch of women who honestly make you feel extremely welcome. Oh and the group personal training sessions are tough but really good too!”
“I first started training with Vicki in 2015, I wasn’t overweight but I wasn’t happy with how I looked and felt and I wanted to build my strength and ‘tone up’. Within the first 4 weeks I saw a massive change in myself, I was enjoying training and eating a lot more than I did before! In that period I started to see physical changes which just made me want to do more. I stayed with Vicki for 3 years and I was even inspired to complete a personal training diploma myself. I have learnt so much from her, and I have continued with my fitness journey since I started with her. She’s very knowledgeable and is able to adjust sessions and nutrition tips for you based on your goals and the group of ladies she trains are so supportive its like a family. I have recently started back with S75 Fitness as I was in need of motivation. I am currently 23 weeks pregnant and she adjusts the sessions for me so I can join in whilst still getting a fabulous workout in. Vicki is a huge support and training with other like-minded women makes it so easy to enjoy working out! Every personal training session is fun, we all have a laugh whilst putting the work in. She gets the results you want if you are willing to put the work in!”
“This place is the best. I’ve been coming since Sept 2017 and have never looked back. Previously I’ve never stuck to any kind of exercise, but I can’t imagine life without S75 now. Victoria has managed to create a safe and friendly space where women can come and exercise without judgement. Everyone is so friendly and supportive, no one compares or competes with you. It’s OK if you’re not the fastest or the strongest, you’re just encouraged to do your best and push yourself. I’m the fittest I’ve ever been and I’ve learnt new skills and become more confident in myself at the same time. Give S75 Fitness a try, I promise you won’t regret it.”
