Tigerfit personal training and fitness outdoors around Warlingham Surrey

Case Studies

"Training with a personal trainer was not something I had considered was for me even though I was often miserable about my shape and size, however having tried to lose weight (that stayed off) for over three years I had to try something different. I was 46 and had never been to a gym on exercised regularly.

I am so glad that I made the decision to find help and advice. I increasingly enjoyed my sessions and am proud of myself for achieving things I had never even considered! I would recommend Blandine to anyone, any age and fitness level because she respects each individual and their needs.

Blandine listened to what was important to me and told me honestly what I could expect, she is sensitive and genuinely wants to help people to take control of their well being, to look and feel their best. I felt comfortable asking even the most trivial questions confidently knowing I was taken seriously. I found her advice to be accurate and beneficial.

During our first session Blandine assessed my fitness level before she wrote my programme, we then agreed upon a realistic target which, for me was to be able to run fairly comfortably for 30 minutes without having to stop. We met three times a week until i achieved this, which is an incredible achievement for me. In under eight months i had lost about 12lbs without dieting at all, but more importantly my body shape and tone changed so that I was happy wearing clothes that had been put away for several years or more. My energy levels are better than they have been at all in my adult life and i no longer have aching joints or back pain which had been severe at times.

Although my weight has stayed the same for almost two years now and I now enjoy using a gym we try to meet up occasionally because I miss my weekly training sessions and I benefit from the encouragement!"

"Before I started going to Blandine I was an occasional runner and had even completed a couple of half marathons. However, having reached 40 I realised that my figure was starting to change and I could no longer eat what I wanted. I needed to do some exercise but had zero motivation. That's where Blandine comes in! Since visiting her on a weekly basis I have a new lease of life and even completed another half marathon knocking over 20 minutes off my previous time! We get outdoors whenever the weather permits, either running or cycling in the beautiful Surrey countryside. There is never a dull moment and always a new challenge to strive for. Blandine gets the best out of me and is truly inspirational!"

"After recovering from a foot operation I found it hard getting back into fitness. I needed extra motivation but struggled to find a trainer who really inspired me. I was instantly drawn to Blandine’s positivity, enthusiasm and passion for exercise and loved the fact she also trains outside. I work in the City so this was particularly appealing as the fresh air is so good for the mind, not just the body. The results achieved through training with her are clear to see and obvious to all that know me, even the lady in coffee shop I swing by on way to work asked how I achieved such dramatic results! Physically I have lost weight and am more toned than ever and I feel fantastic.

Within 6 months I completed a half marathon within a good time (beyond comprehension before) and would now rather ride my bike than drive my car!!! My attitude towards fitness and exercise has changed forever as a result of Blandine’s constant support and encouragement. I look forward to my training sessions which I have been going to for 8 months now. I have lost a stone which I struggled to shift for years, despite going to the gym regularly, and can honestly say that it has been fun doing so! I am so pleased I found her! "

“I can’t wait to do my training session alongside Blandine. She’s dedicated to helping me get fit with her varied methods of exercise, along with coaching me in lowering my BMI and cholesterol levels too. It’s amazing how quickly you focus on fitness and diet once you get started.

My programme that Blandine has set is easy and manageable and I’m loving every minute of my journey to being healthy again- especially when we go outside!!!”

"Inspired after successfully giving up smoking I wanted to get fit and attempt a new physical challenge so I opted to do both and also raise money for charity by trekking Kilimanjaro for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.

Blandine was recommended to me by a friend as she had successfully climbed to base camp of Mount Everest and qualified as a personal trainer. I needed inspiration and focus on the challenge ahead but also a new way of enjoying life.

Blandine has certainly inspired and focused my mind; As well as training me to a level of fitness ready for my challenge she has given me nutritional advice and emphasised the rules of healthy eating not only for weight loss but also to gain and maintain my new level of fitness. I have thoroughly enjoyed training with Blandine and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone!"

"Blandine has been my fitness trainer for the past 18 months and in that time I have become a fitter and stronger person physically and mentally. To date my biggest achievement has been completing the London to Brighton bike ride in 4 hours 10 minutes in June 2012 with Blandine and 2 friends.

We train every Monday morning, it defiantly sets you up for the week ahead!

We go out bike riding in the Surrey country side and climb the many hills in all weathers. I have now just started to do some running so watch this space. We also fit in a core and fitness programme on the weights in her gym.

As a active 45 year old my aim was to achieve all of the above, but I knew I would never have achieved this by myself but with Blandine's help she has given me the motivation and determination to succeed. Yes it is hard work but it has been worth it in the end!

Blandine has great knowledge in assessing you and quickly knows your strengths and weakness that keeps you coming back for more.

Over the coming months I will be competing in a number of bike riding and running events and with Blandine's help I hope to achieve more goals in my life."
