Hello to everyone who's recently found this page! I thought it was time to introduce myself properly.

I'm Esther. I am a personal trainer. I love to exercise but there's WAY more to me than meal prep and weight lifting!

I'm a mum to two boys, two dogs, two cats and two tortoises (yes, really). It's rarely quiet at home. I am obsessed with crochet, I play the steel pan drums, I regularly burst into song and dance (although that's generally reserved for my family 😉 ) I have a bit of daft sense of humour, far too much energy, and I love all the foods you'd expect a personal trainer not to eat!

I didn't start exercising because I wanted a career in it. I started because I needed a way to take the edge off stress. It worked so well that I kept going, got properly into it, and somewhere along the way decided it would be a fun way to spend my working life. And it really is!

I don't always practise what I preach. I forget the stretching homework, can't be bothered, choose the fizzy drink over the water and say yes to a starter AND dessert. Just like everyone else, so I get it!

I love a challenge, I love helping people, and I love seeing what happens to someone's life when movement becomes a part of it. That's what Eternal Fitness is really about.

Are you tracking your workouts, or just hoping progress is happening?

Personal training isn't just the hour in the session — there's the planning, learning, and tracking behind it that doesn't get seen.

A new client here always gets a proper assessment - at the beginning and at the end of block one.

EVERYONE that trains with me gets regular real updates: what's moved, by how much, what it means for them. It's become one of my favourite parts of the job — it tells them they're progressing, and it tells me I'm doing my job properly.

If you have a trainer, ask them where you stand compared to a few months ago. If you train yourself, it's worth asking the same question — are you actually tracking your numbers, or just hoping progress is happening?

Phenomenal progress!

Lunges used to be the exercise Colin dreaded most. Now watch him — getting up off the floor, alternating legs, five times each side, no hands, no hesitation. Boom!

It didn't happen overnight. It was built by showing up consistently, working the muscles around the knee properly, and going at a pace that actually suited the joint rather than pushing through it.

If you're looking to build a bit more strength around the knees, here are a few things that can help:

👉 Straight leg raises — lying down, lifting one straight leg a few inches, builds strength through the quad without bending the knee at all.
👉 Wall sits — a shallow, comfortable slide down a wall, held for a few seconds (build up time), to build stability around the joint.
👉 Step-ups — using a low step, practising controlled balance and support through the joint.
👉 Glute bridges — stronger glutes take pressure off the knees
👉 Mini squats — just a few inches down, like reaching for a chair, pushing back up through the heels.

Start small, stay well within a pain-free range, and build gradually.

If your knees have been holding you back, message me here or on WhatsApp (07517 658128) — I'd love to help you build that confidence back.

There's no such thing as the right time.

Not the right time to start — "I'll start once I'm a bit fitter, I'll do it when I'm in better shape / when I've lost weight."

And not the right time to keep going either — "things are a lot right now, I'll pick it up again when things have settled down."

Both are the same trap. They treat fitness as something you fit in once everything else is in order, when it's actually one of the things that helps put everything else in order. Waiting to feel ready just delays the thing that would make you feel more ready.

Your body doesn't press pause on strength, mobility, energy while you're waiting for the right time. The "come back" is being made all the more difficult.

I know life gets hard. And busy. But "later, when things are better" is rarely a date that actually arrives — it's just how good intentions turn into months or years going by.

Wherever you are, whatever's going on, that's where we'd start.

Message me here or on WhatsApp (07517 658128) if this is you.

As the kids head back to school this week, a lot of us will be settling into new routines — and it's got me reflecting on my summer.

Normally over the summer, I try to slow down, take a bit more family time, breathe. This year it didn't happen. I find myself at the end of the school holidays with a bit of mum guilt that there wasn't enough family time. But, as I look back at everything else that happened, I am not going to beat myself up about what I didn't achieve and acknowledge what I did. There was A LOT!

There was a lot of learning
👉a workshop with British Blind Sport & Paralympian Roy Turnham
👉a course on hypermobility with exercise as the prescription
👉 UK Coaching's training on coaching blind & partially sighted people
👉FitPro's Movement Mastery

Every one of these means I can adapt more precisely, for whoever's in front of me.

Alongside that, Eternal Fitness has had a complete rebrand! We built a brand new website and a client hub. One of the biggies with this is everyone training with me can see their progress and achievements. My husband Decoded Ops has had the patience of a saint doing the build. I'm sure having your wife as a customer is not the easiest…demanding and non paying!

I was interviewed by FitPro and was a guest on the Storm Academy podcast. Alongside this, I even started properly using this page.

Busy doesn't begin to cover it! But every bit of it was with the same thing at the forefront of my mind — being a better trainer for the people I work with.

I hope that everyone has had a good summer too, whatever it held. September is a great time to build new habits and settle into a new routine. If I can help - give me a shout ❤️

Getting messages like this is so special. I really do love my job!

When we first started training together, this lovely lady told me she'd never set foot in a gym. She's a regular now — and as one of my online clients I'm not there to hold her hand - she's doing it on her own. That's a lot of confidence she's built.

A few months ago, getting up off the floor meant two hands and a lot of concentration. In this video, she's doing it with no hands at all — in a public gym, filming it herself because she could hardly believe it either.

"I absolutely never, never thought I could ever do this."

Moments like this show that little steps, that start wherever you need them to start, really do work. I am proud beyond words.

Overhead strength is one of the easiest things to rebuild, once it's trained deliberately rather than left until reaching for something forces the issue.

A few things that help: controlled shoulder mobility work, gradually loaded overhead pressing, and simply practising the reach itself rather than avoiding it.

Just off a webinar and it's got me thinking. I'll share more once I've digested it, but first, something I'm becoming increasingly aware of and interested in - flexibility and mobility.

These words tend to get used interchangeably but they mean different things.

Flexibility is passive. Mobility is active.

Flexibility is reaching a stretched position and holding it there. Mobility is moving into that range under your own control, and moving back out of it just as easily.

Something (among many things) that felt like a lightbulb moment from the webinar:

Mobility without stability is just instability. Just think on that for a moment.

Give a joint a new range it hasn't learned to control yet, and it doesn't feel safe, so it often clamps straight back down.

As I listened to the training I felt pretty good about the fact that we do this here. So yeah, I am tooting my own horn just a little bit! We don't just hold a static stretch for its own sake. We teach our joints a new range, and then we get them strong there. Fantastic to learn new things but equally as good to get it reenforced that what I'm doing is good stuff!

Thanks FitPro & Paul Edmondson

Reaching for the top shelf without a second thought — shoulder mobility and overhead strength are trainable at any age, however long it's been.

For a lot of people that confidence slips gradually: a wobble reaching up once, then asking someone else "while you're up," then not reaching that high again — a small accommodation that quietly becomes permanent.

It's reversible and preventable and comes back with deliberate practice.
