Are you unhappy with your weight? Do you feel like you are always on a diet? Do you struggle to motivate yourself to exercise? Are you nervous about starting your fitness regime and just want a little help? Do you eat well, train hard and still feel disappointed with your results? Do you just want a little help getting started? *

If you have answered yes to any of the above or have other fitness, weight or diet issues, I can help.

More than just one of Oxford’s leading female personal trainers, I am also a Level 5, sports massage therapist, and so unlike regular personal trainers, I have, firstly, a detailed understanding of how muscular imbalances can cause pain and dysfunction and secondly the ability to treat any such muscular pains. So if you are suffering with muscular pain such as knee pain , back issues or sciatica, my combined soft tissue therapy and PT knowledge means that I will be able to address those issues as well as your primary fitness goal. In addition I am also a nutritionist so am able to advise re dietary choices.

In addition, I also own a small PT Educational company and I am responsible for teaching and qualifying new Personal Trainers . I may even have qualified your local PT.

I work with people of all ages, sizes and abilities, from teens who want to get fitter, to the complete beginner who is looking to lose weight and improve their health, to the more senior client who wants to stay mobile.

I specialise in extreme weight loss, obesity and type 2 diabetes weight management, working with emotional eaters and complete beginners to exercise who might be worried or nervous about exercise.

I offer a range of services from traditional face to face or Online Personal Training to the unique and unrivalled Total Support Package which you can totally tailor for your needs.

Please take a look around the site and also have a look at the Feedback from some of my clients.

Whatever your requirements , please contact me for a face to face consultation and taster session. I work from a small PT studio in north Oxford, close to Summertown.

Get in touch and let me help you reach your health and fitness goals.

Testimonials

As a single mum running a super busy business and managing staff that have pretty much taken over all my physical tasks whilst at the same time contending with an ongoing runner's knee, I found myself in an exercise-free, static, seated, office-based, miserable rutt. For 20 years I had pretty much put my own needs on the back burner and this summer I realised that my weight was going to continue to pile on, and my priorities weren't going to change without some serious help. Enough was enough. The help I turned to was Nikki, and I'm so glad I did. Nikki has encouraged and inspired me, pressured me and supported me over the last four months. Both instinctively and through her huge amount of knowledge and expertise she helped me make time for and enjoy exercise to the point where I missed my sessions terribly if I was away. Exercise is now something I have made a priority. In four months of two sessions a week I lost 7 kilos and I'm well on the way I reaching my target weight and have made the lifestyle changes I was seeking help to make. Thank you so much Nikki for everything, and the laughs! I'll definitely be back when finances are better, in the meantime I'm swimming and have joined a gym near the office where I'm training next to nubile young men in the weights room without feeling too out of place!! Can't recommend Nikki enough.

Early in my first meeting with Nikki, she asked me to set a goal. “I want to be able to cut my own toenails” was my response. I should explain, I am a 77 year old male, terribly overweight, chronically unfit and noticeably lacking physical flexibility. I have high blood pressure and an impressive medical history. My 70’s have not been kind to me.

I was able to greet Nikki at my 7th session with the news that I had indeed just cut my own toenails.

Time for a new target .”My GP would be happy if I could lower my blood pressure”. Not really a target, i appreciate but more of an aim. My GP however was very happy at the 20 point drop irrespective of the distinction between “target” and “aim”.

I could go on but I would really like to stress the five star award from every reviewer. I, like them I’m sure, would want to add a “plus”

Nikki Carrol is definitely 5 stars plus .

I've never been a gym type, so I've been having PT sessions with Nikki in the lead up to my wedding, and I've enjoyed them so much that I'm going to continue even after the big day! She's tough, but fair, and the results speak for themselves. Not only have I lost weight, but my body shape has changed for the better, I'm more toned than I've ever been. Nikki will tailor the sessions to you, and really gets to know which workouts are best suited to you. She pushes you hard, but it's strangely enjoyable - it helps that we laugh a lot too.
