Myth: You can’t spot reduce fat
Reality: While it’s true that your body loses fat overall, not just from one specific area, targeted exercise still plays an important role. Strength training a specific muscle group (like abs, glutes, or arms) helps build muscle underneath the fat, which improves shape and definition as you lose weight.

I’m Jodie, I’m a personal trainer & swimming teacher. I love all forms of exercise. I love seeing the positive impact exercise has on people. The benefits are endless, there is nothing that matches it. I love working with people coming back from injury, people exercising for the first time or those that just need a confident boost and someone in their corner.
The benefits of regular exercise and healthy eating improved my life so much that it felt like a no-brainer. Why isn’t everyone doing it? And more importantly, how can I help them start?
The best form of exercise is the one you will consistently do. I like helping people find realistic and enjoyable exercises and programmes that work for them and their goals. I like to make it as easy as possible for exercise to be part of their lifestyle.
Improved confidence is the main one I love! Getting stronger muscles and bones, learning how to do the different exercises, getting confident to come to the gym alone! Gaining confidence to return to exercise after illness / injuries.
Beginners, individuals returning to exercise after a break or injury, and those who lack confidence in the gym or with physical activity.
I specialise in creating fully personalised training programmes tailored to each individual. Everyone is different, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to fitness. My focus is on finding what works best for each person, helping them achieve their goals in a way that fits their lifestyle, abilities, and preferences.
