Online Personal Training
If you're comfortable with Zoom (after all it seems to be everywhere...) I can provide you with a tailored programme of exercise, designed according to your own goals, delivered from my home to yours. No gym rats or lurkers - it's just you and me.
Personal Training is the best and quickest way to get the results you want. Programmes are designed and adapted specifically to you and your needs, with a qualified and experienced personal trainer guiding you to perform every exercise and stretch properly, ensuring you get the most out of each and every session. I specialise in fat loss, increased muscle tone and building body confidence, and additionally offer nutritional advice to help you reach your goals. Enjoy exercise with one-to-one encouragement and expertise and leave refreshed and revitalised.
Alternatively, do you have a group of friends with similar fitness goals? Benefit from the kind of tailored experience that personal training offers, but delivered to your group. Think of it like a small, informal class, where the content is specifically tailored to you and each of you gets one-to-one attention to ensure you get the most out of each session.

Hello, I'm Victoria...
Victoria Woodward
Personal Trainer
As a Personal Trainer, I see a variety of different clients. What they all have in common is a desire to make a change, feel better and achieve their goals. I work hard to ensure that clients get the most out of their sessions with me and in their own time by providing workouts to do at home, tips, advice and encouragement to keep up the good work and stay on track to meet their goals.
I enjoy every minute of training my clients and I make sure that they do too by keeping it fun, light hearted but challenging with realistic goals being set and met.
The first step into a new routine is always the hardest, but the moment you finish your first session, refreshed and re-energised, you'll be glad you took it.
Also, here's what other people say about me...
“I have been client of Victoria's for over 7 years and having started doing one weekly session I changed to twice weekly during lockdown. I now find these sessions an integral part of my weekly fitness regime due to Victoria's input and encouragement. She has helped with many and varied ailments...a sore back, stiff shoulders, stiff neck, the usual aches and pains of a sixty-something. When I damaged the ligaments in my knee she devised a programme to suit my abilities and aided my recovery which helped enormously. Most particularly she has supported me following breast cancer surgery with a tailored programme to enhance the necessary exercises to regain full mobility. Throughout everything she has been positive, encouraging, flexible, supportive and fun. I dont think I could do without her!!”
Rosemary
“Victoria is a brilliant personal trainer. Working with Victoria helped me get back to a happy place after having my daughter, with her knowledge, personal training plans and support. Victoria tailors the sessions to your likes and needs, mixing multiple fitness methods with and without equipment. Victoria is very flexible and understanding when it comes to fitting personal training around family/working life. I definitely recommend Victoria as a personable and friendly PT, especially for returning or starting to exercise.”
Jessica
“I have been having PT sessions with Victoria for 2 years. She is really flexible and supportive and has always adapted my workouts to support my goals. During 2020 I was also able to continue via zoom which has enabled me to keep exercising during the pandemic. I highly recommend Victoria, she makes you feel at ease, no matter what your ability.”
Tara
“I really enjoy my PT sessions with Victoria. I feel comfortable and confident while doing with my sessions. Victoria adapts the session's to my needs and abilities. Victoria demonstrates each excerise and ensures i am doing each excercise correctly. I started off doing one session a week, I now do two. Victoria is friendly, easy going and very easy to talk too. I look forward to each session I have.”
Cheryl
“Fabulous personal trainer, great at developing tailored programmes for personal goals. Brilliant understanding of ante/postnatal fitness and general women's health.”
Tamsin
“I first met Victoria at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children when she was doing a "Keep Fit Fair" for NHS staff about 14 months ago. She was very approachable and flexible in scheduling training sessions which suited me as I was very busy at work. She was punctual, non-judgemental with a sense of humour and was genuinely interested in my needs. She has been in my diary ever since with weekly sessions in the local park. She has incorporated various exercises in my routine, gradually increased the pace and changed my attitude towards keeping fit.”
Susan OBE
“I started training with Victoria Dodsworth 17 months after my baby was born even though I kept fit throughout my pregnancy I put on weight when I was breast feeding as I couldn't stop eating, it was a bottomless pit! I changed my trainer to Victoria and I eventually started seeing change in my body as she understood how I would see results fast being a woman herself. We started interval training, firstly it's fun and less grinding and secondly I am seeing results in my fitness level.”
Amerdeep
“Victoria quickly made me feel at ease and spent time understanding what I'd like to get out of the sessions ... with Victoria's support I have a new found love for exercise and I've so far lost over 4 1/2 stone. I have also found the fitness and confidence to get back into netball and tennis as well as weekly 5ks. I miss our sessions when I'm away and always look forward to starting the weekend on a great workout, as the stresses of work fade away. She is supportive and fun and I cannot recommend her highly enough!”
Anna
“Victoria is an excellent PT. Her enthusiasm and commitment is infectious. She trains with a perfect combination of tough (Victoria you're killing me!!.... Keep it going Lesley you've only got 10 more seconds to go!) To the" Well done! You did it!!!! " I've signed up to do many gyms and classes in the past, but I can safely say that I enjoy, yes ENJOY!! And look forward to my sessions with Victoria. She comes highly recommended.”
Lesley
“I started training with Vicky in a bid to lose some stubborn fat around my middle and generally tone up, in time for my wedding! Well what can I say, my overall strength and fitness improved so much in a short space of time. Each workout is tailored to you, Vicky will find what works best for you. She is nothing but supportive, our sessions are always hard work but always with an element of fun and encouragement. Vicky is always more than willing to work around you and will always try and fit sessions in to suit you, sometimes at very short notice. I would wholeheartedly recommend Vicky as a personal trainer.”
Emma
“After various problems with my hormones and not being able to control my unhealthy eating I decided I needed to make a change in my life. Victoria was recommended to me by a friend and I am so grateful she was. Not only has she helped me get my fitness back and lose weight I have got my confidence back and have changed my whole perspective on eating. I still have a way to go but in the 10 weeks I have been seeing her I have lost half and stone, 11 inches from all over.”
