Ladies’ Strength & Toning

Training with Philippa Excell

Hi, I’m Philly

I’m a wife and mom of three little people and a huge lover of all things health & fitness related

I’ve been a Personal Trainer for 6 years but about a year ago, after discovering that three pregnancies had taken their toll and left me with Diastasis Recti, I decided to study and specialise in pre & post natal fitness.

This has helped hugely with my own personal journey, now I want to support other Mums get back into exercise in a safe yet effective way.

I offer a mixture of private 1:1 sessions as well as small group sessions specialising in postnatal safe exercises and strength and toning classes for different fitness levels.

If you’re looking for a relaxed environment to either get back into exercise after having children or simply just to try a new class, then I would love to help.

Ladies Strength & Sculpting

Challenging & great fun! This class targets the whole body through a mixture of yoga, pilates, resistance bands and weights. Each class is different to keep it interesting and you always leave feeling energised!

Beginners Ladies Fitness

I started this class as I had a few people contact me who hadn’t exercised for a while and had lost their confidence. This is such a lovely class, always super fun to teach. I include all the same elements of the strength & toning classes but we do it at a relaxed pace. People are still challenged but not intimidated.

Mom & Baby Post Natal Fitness

This is for all moms with babies under 1 yrs old. It is really lovely for moms to be able to come together with their babies and do some safe yet effective exercise. There is a relaxed vibe and a safe space to feed or even just lie down if that’s all you can face! I am always on hand to entertain your little one so that you can keep moving and have a break!

what They’re Saying

Client Feedback

‘I started working with Philippa as I wanted to improve my general strength and flexibility after motherhood and a caesarian had knocked my core strength for six. Philippa has been great. She pushes me just enough to stretch me over what I would do on my own whilst holding a balance that doesn’t leave me defeated. She has a great sense of humour so the classes are fun and good humoured, which allows us to really push ourselves as we know that if we collapse in a sweaty heap, there is laughter, a ribald comment and a steadying hand. If you’ve been wanting to get back into exercise and not sure where to start, Philippa is a great person to inspire you into pulling on the lycra and getting sweaty with!’

‘Philly’s classes are brilliant. She manages to find those work those deep muscles you didn’t know you had, the classes are always varied, and the time flies by. I totally recommend.’

‘You’re a great instructor & going to do really well!’

‘To come to your lovely house & do a fab session in the sun – I literally felt like a new woman’

‘I’m in the most glorious pain which is exactly what I want!
See you next week!’

‘I love watching your insta vids, you’re a total marvel and inspiration!’

‘Fab! Loved it!’
