I’m so SO proud of you Monideepa.
I can’t even describe the pride And happiness I feel. Well done angel and thank you for taking the time to do this testimonial about your time working with me so far. You are such a pleasure to train and coach.
When I started working with Davinia, I hated what I saw in the mirror and photos and dressed to hide my figure. I knew I needed to loose weight and improve my fitness but didnt know where to start. I needed someone to help guide me on making changes that worked with my lifestyle and hold me accountable.
In the 12weeks I have been working with Davinia I have lost 7kgs, I feel much more confident in my appearance, I actually enjoy trying on new outfits and have the tools that work for me to continue my health journey.
It really is the best investment you can make for you and your family, giving you the kick start you need for a healthier & happier future.
I had my first phone call with Davinia on New Year’s Eve. I didn’t want it to be just another New Year’s Resolution and I knew I had a great goal with my wedding being 7 weeks away at the time. I instantly clicked with her bright energy and her approach to health and fitness was unlike anything I’d known before.
When I started working with Davinia I was really unhappy in my body. I had no confidence because I had spent decades telling myself I had to cut out meals and use exercise as a punishment. One of the first things I told Davinia was about how much I hated the gym. I felt unfit and unmotivated and the idea of having to push my body was so unappealing. I told her I was happy to do any extreme diet to get into shape but not to do exercise.
That first session, I remember thinking I’d never make it through 12 weeks but on the other hand I had this idea of how I needed to look for my wedding. I was so surprised to hear Davinia tell me I needed to eat more, and as the weeks passed I was turning up to each session full of energy and was so surprised to see inches falling away and weight going down despite the fact I felt like I was eating more than ever.
My wedding planning was extremely stressful and Davinia’s support as a life coach became invaluable. Session after session, we worked on my confidence and happiness in all areas of my life. The endorphins, stress relief and balance I got from her fun and creative workouts became essential for my day to day well-being, and I am now so proud of the way I have made exercise part of my every day life now.
By my wedding day, I was over a dress size smaller, had lost so many inches and pounds but my mindset and confidence was the biggest transformation. I have truly never felt better and it is all because of Davinia’s support each day.
Davinia helped me make myself and my health a priority in my own life. Working with her was the single best investment I’ve ever made in myself and I cannot recommend her coaching highly enough.
Whatever your goals are, she will get you there and you’ll be amazed at the changes you make along the way.
Starting personal training with Davinia has been the best investment I have ever made in my health and general well being. In four months I have reached my goals and am substantially fitter and slimmer than I was. Her advice not to weigh myself was completely liberating: freeing me of my dependency on the scales enabled me to focus much more positively on what I needed to achieve. Best of all, Davinia makes it all seem easy and, if you follow her advice, it is!
If you want to shape up and feel great in yourself then I definitely recommend using Davinia. She is bubbly, fun, motivating, understanding and supportive –all the things you would expect in a personal trainer. For years I have been trying to lose weight, and have done every diet under the sun… my last hope was to get a personal trainer… and what can I say. I have been working with Davinia now since Christmas and I have gone from a size 14 to a size 10 and I am over the moon. More importantly I am not dieting any more. Davinia has helped me with my eating and exercise regime. I never thought I would be able to stop eating chocolate and sweets every day, but I have. Davinia has helped me to realize how this was affecting my life and I will never go back to my old habits. I now eat far more healthily and just have the occasional chocolate bar – probably once a week! I am so happy with myself and if you have a problem like I did with losing weight – then Davinia will be able to help you too.
Being with Davinia has really motivated me to enjoy exercise and stick to a programme. She has taught me so much about fitness and how to have a balanced workout including cardio work, weights and toning. I love doing the fitness tests every month so I can check on my progress and see how much I am improving. I really look forward to our sessions together and she always puts a big smile on my face. Thank you xx.
Davinia manages to brighten our day every time. It's not just about the body beautiful but more about having a bright enthusiastic outlook on everything you do She is a ray of sunshine and has had a massive, positive impact on our life's
I started training with Davinia a few years ago.Davinia was an inspiration to me from the outset, and helped me change my views on exercise and eating habits. During my time with Davinia i lost a lot of weight and completely changed my body shape through my determination and her support throughout my training process. I would constantly update Davinia with my progress during the week and she would inspire me in an extremely positive way. I highly recommend Davinia, she a personal trainer who really cares for her clients!
My Personal Training sessions that my husband bought me for Christmas last year, was the best present ever. Davinia helped me so much and I cannot thank you enough. Never in a million years, did I think I would be a size 12 and now here I am. I had been a size 18 ever since I could remember. I have always felt embarrassed about my size but too ashamed to go to the gym. So personal training seemed like a good option. You were so sweet when you first met me and really helped me to realise that I could lose the inches and I did. You installed confidence in me and I started to get results quickly because of your healthy eating and exercise plan. I have enjoyed every minute with you and I would recommend you to anyone that wants to lose weight in a healthy way.
Thank you so much for helping me gets into a size 10 again. I have been battling with my weight for years and finally I am in control and have never looked and felt better. I never thought exercise would be so much fun. Personal training with you has been brilliant and you are so much fun to work with. I will miss our sessions terribly whilst I am away. I will definitely come back for some more boxing fun when I am back from the States in 6 months time.
Davinia is not only my personal trainer but such a lovely friend too. I am writing her this testimonial as I want to share with every one else how much she has done for me and no doubt her other clients too. I started off having personal training with Davinia over a year ago. I initially was only going to have a few sessions to get me motivated to exercise again. I started to see a difference in my energy levels and body shape within weeks and I also started to really enjoy exercising again. Personal training sessions with Davinia are so much fun. She is always happy, always makes you feel like a million dollars and always works you hard. I look forward to our sessions every week. I am so happy with my body shape now. I am toned and a size 8. Outside of our sessions, I stick to my exercise and eating plan that Davinia has drawn up for me and this definitely keeps me in great shape. If you want a personal trainer, then you will love Davinia - she is a gem
I felt very comfortable with Davinia, as soon as she began to Coach me. She was warm, supportive, and understood me, which was just what I needed, as I had never voiced the extent of my lack of confidence to anyone before. I had no idea what to expect from the transformation package, but it was excellent. Davinia asked me to describe what confidence meant to me, what it looked like, felt like and how would I know when I got there. For the first time someone was asking me to be specific about what I wanted, rather than what I didn’t, and was really interested. Then I looked at how I perceived myself. - That was a real reality check. Davinia showed me some NLP techniques that I could use so that I believed in myself more. She also coached me to work out how I could improve my confidence... it really has been an eye opening experience on how to increase your confidence and I definitely feel more confident in tons of situations. I am now having coaching with Davinia to ensure that I use my confidence and make some goals in my life.
I have always had a real problem with my weight. I have been a compulsive eater for all my life and have been on numerous diets, which never worked. But Davinia’s Health package was a revelation. It worked a treat and now I have finally gone from a size 16 to a size 10 and I am delighted. Davinia helped me to refocus my mind on how I look at food and my health. She is so supportive. After that day, I seriously viewed food in a different way. I actually think about what I eat and become fuller easily. I feel a lot better from losing weight and I am also more in tune with my body. I have started to become active and feel great. Thank yo
I have been pretty unhappy for a long time and through the happy package and some additional coaching, I have found my zest for life again. I cannot tell you how amazing it feels to wake up in the morning and feel happy and very much alive. This has definitely opened up my eyes to how important it is to talk to yourself positively. Before coaching I used to look in the mirror and criticize myself – no wonder I was miserable. I am now treating myself with respect and have learnt to love myself
I had the most restful night's sleep I've had for ages. When I woke up my first conscious thought was: "Am I still feeling the same?" And the answer was YES, YES, YES. The ball is now well and truly rolling, taking me forever onwards and upwards. What you've done for me is absolutely priceless, and one of the things I will be using my grateful stone for is to remind me every day how grateful I am to you for changing my life in one explosive session yesterday. It certainly has made a world of difference to me
I love personal training with Davinia. She has made exercise enjoyable and fun and I never thought I would have said that a few months ago. I am finally getting the body shape that I want and my fitness and energy levels have increased massively. I feel so much more confident and happier with the way that I look
I have gone down two dress sizes since having personal training with Davinia. I use to be a compulsive eater but I have now got that under control. Coaching and NLP has really helped me to stop my bad eating habits
I have never really felt very happy in my own skin. I have always put myself down and have never felt good about myself. BUT not anymore. Through coaching and NLP therapy I have learnt to love myself and I really do feel fabulous now
I have completely transformed my life with coaching and training from Davinia. I never used to put myself first and was completely stressed and unhappy with whom I was. I had no confidence when I went out and really despised myself. Not anymore. Coaching has helped me find myself and I really love myself now. It is lovely. I am becoming fitter ever week and my health has improved massively. I am hardly ever ill now because I look after myself properly. I have realised that looking after your health and wellbeing is vital to feel good. Every day I wake up and feel happy because I have control over my emotions and over my wellbeing
Personal training and coaching have completely changed my life. I now have control over what I eat and don’t use food as an emotional crutch. I have a healthy relationship with food now, which I never used to have. I have lost 8% body fat over the last few months and I look and feel fabulous

Davinia Meades is a truly excellent trainer and coach. She is the perfect combination of warm and tough and she works with the whole person -- mentally, emotionally and physically. Because of her efforts and massive help, I am fitter, thinner, stronger and more flexible. Working out has become fun and I would definitely recommend her
My friends and family keep telling me how good I look, and it is all down to you Davinia. Thank you. You are a miracle worker. I can’t believe I am already back in my size 10 clothes after having my baby 10 months ago and needing to still lose 2.5 stone. I am so happy. I feel and look so much better and feel like my old self again. It’s amazing. You are amazing and I can’t recommend you highly enough. Thank you. I love our PT sessions together, although they are hard work!
Where do I start to thank you for all you have done for me. You are such a special person and an inspiration. I consider myself so lucky to have ‘found you’ and thank you for not only helping me to improve my fitness and to get my weight down, but also for increasing my confidence and the way I feel about myself. I know now that I have lost two stone already with you that I will be able to lose the other two. I feel so much happier in myself and will be wearing the red dress at Christmas. Thank you Davinia. Xx
Since the age of 10 years old, I have struggled with my weight. I was always the chubby girl at school and was bullied. By 15 years old I had put on a massive amount from binging on junk food as I was so unhappy with school life and being overweight. By the time I went to uni I was 16 stone and by the time I came to Davinia I was 20 stone. I have now lost 3 stone in the last 4 months and I am so proud of myself. I still have a long way to go but for the first time in my life I am in control of my eating habits and am exercising. Personal training with Davinia has changed my life and I am so grateful. I am hoping that this time next year I will be at my target weight of 12 stone. I will carry on with eating healthily and sticking to Davinia’s programme. I love my weekly sessions with Davinia as seeing the inches dropping off and the body fat decreasing is just brilliant. I cannot wait to write my testimonial to Davinia when I am 12 stone! Thank you Davinia.
I hurt my knee in April 2013 and 12 months later had managed to put on 20 lbs. After several attempts at trying to lose the weight on my own with no success, I contacted Davinia who with her knowledge and understanding of health, nutrition and exercise, helped me to get my mojo back and since April 2014 I have not only managed to lose 1 stone, but I have a much greater understanding of how important healthy eating is. Since signing up with Davinia, she has been genuinely interested in helping and supporting me through the 10 week plan and I felt brilliant on holiday, lying on the beach in my bikini in Marbella, from where I have just returned. Davinia continually encouraged me through texts throughout the duration of my holiday. I have still got stone to lose, and with the motivation and encouragement received from Davinia, I feel confident that I will now be able to do this on my own, although I know that Davinia is always there in the background if I need some encouragement from her at any time. Thanks for your help. X x x x x
All of my life I have struggled with my weight, feeling unworthy and miserable for so long. That is until I plucked up the courage to call Davinia. She was so kind and encouraging during our initial conversation, I felt I could trust her and so I signed up. That was in January 2014. It is now the beginning of July, I have lost 4.5 stone and I have never felt better. I can hardly believe it myself! The program is completely do-able and I find myself enjoying exercise, but the best part is - all my efforts are paying off, it's working! I still have more weight to lose, but I now know I can do it. Davinia's knowledge and understanding of health, nutrition, exercise and well-being are surpassed only by her genuine care, support and encouragement. She believed in me, even when I didn't and I feel completely safe in her hands. Not only have I found an amazing personal trainer but also a friend for life! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Training with Davinia is great because she keeps you super motivated and my results are superb. I have now lost over 2 stone in 12 weeks and have lost 2 dress sizes, nearly 3. I need to lose one more dress size and tone up by 22nd august for my sister’s wedding and i know i will with Davinia’s help. i have always struggled with my weight and have done every diet under the sun including the Dukan, Atkins, Slimmers world, Weight watchers, the Cambridge diet and so on. The diets worked for a while but after a few weeks i would always feel hungry and would give up. But this time no diets and just healthy living with a healthy eating plan and exercise plan (from Davinia) and the weight is coming off nicely. Davinia keeps you on track by emailing you constantly to check (in-between sessions) that you are being ‘good’ and sticking to the programme. She is very positive, uplifting and has superb knowledge. I would recommend Davinia to anyone who wants to lose weight and feel good about themselves. She is a breath of fresh air
Davinia is currently training my 17 year old daughter and she has been for about 5 months now. She is very motivating and has helped my daughter feel confident about herself again. Davinia has helped my daughter not only with losing weight but also in helping her to understand better about healthy eating and exercising. My daughter loves her weekly sessions with Davinia and we love seeing our daughter flourish
Thank you Davinia for getting me back on track with my eating and exercise regime. I have been stuck in a rut for a while and wasn't managing to shift any weight. It was so frustrating and i was yo yo- ing on my last half a stone. With your help I now only have 1lb left to lose which is brilliant. When I see you next month, it will be off. You are a very inspiring woman and I am so pleased to have found you. I will recommend you to anyone.
Ok I admit I am a lazy daisy. I have never really had any motivation to exercise and that is something that I have been able to live with until now. I suddenly realised last year that the weight has been creeping on slowly over the years and I don’t want to be fat and become unhealthy. I have always found it hard to motivate myself to exercise and I have certainly found it harder over the last year or two.... then I met Davinia. There has never been anyone, ever who has motivated me the way that Davinia has. Davinia is easy to get along with, obviously knows what she is doing and is passionate about what she does. I never thought I would ever want to workout... but guess what, I do and I love it. I have been seeing Davinia for the last 7 months and I love our sessions. I have lost my stone of body fat that I needed to and am back in my size 10 jeans. I am now working out 3-4 times a week on my own and once a week still with Davinia and I love it. I am so grateful to have met Davinia as she is so lovely and so inspiring. I would and will recommend Davinia to anyone and everyone.
