Abbie

Abbie Stevens – Havant and Waterlooville

During my school and teen years, exercise was actually something I actively avoided. I was always that child trying to get out of PE one way or another. It wasn’t until a friend took me along to a gym session that passion for exercise and fitness transpired.

When my fitness journey started, I had very little knowledge. I was over exercising, eating too little and created some unhealthy habits. It was only when I started to learn more that I realised my fitness habits were hindering me and I knew I needed to change. I hired my own personal trainer, gained more knowledge and my self-esteem and confidence grew rapidly, which was something I had always struggled with.

As my confidence grew, I started to challenge myself further and further. I even set myself a goal and completed a fitness photoshoot which was something if someone would have told me I’d have been doing 4 years ago, I would have laughed at them.

This confidence and love for bettering myself lead me to wanting to train as a Personal Trainer. I was working as a Primary School Teacher at the time but wasn’t fulfilled. I loved the teaching side, however wanted to do it with more focus on my passion for fitness.

My aim for my clients is to create healthy habits within them that are sustainable and also enjoyable. I love to see people grow in confidence and accomplish things they never thought they could. I have experienced being over-weight and underweight and have now found a happy medium. This enables me to be able to emphasise with my clients and be able to understand all the struggles people may face.

Connor Goodsall- Personal Trainer

Connor Goodsall – Guildford

I work with people who lack confidence in the gym or have injuries which are holding them back, I understand how it felt to not be confident in what I’m doing whether it is through an injury or being unsure on what to do.

When I first started my fitness journey, it was very inconsistent, I would do random workouts, which lasted far too long (I had the time as I was a student studying a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Sport), I developed poor nutritional habits and overall wasn’t getting the results I was hoping for.

Having competed in National Level Cross Country, Powerlifting and put on a significant amount of muscle from when I started with 7 years’ experience training clients as a Personal Trainer I have obtained the skills and knowledge to help you succeed – I’m currently training for a sub-20-minute 5km run!

I have worked with many people with knee issues and lower back pain and helped them to improve it through a mixture of mobility work and strength training whilst achieving physical results through a mix of in person sessions and coaching outside of sessions to help with habit building and nutritional guidance.

Hear from some of the people who have been trained by Connor-

Keerti- Training with Connor has been a life changing experience for someone like me who had never played sport nor pursued fitness till the age of 40.

Not only do our sessions help me become stronger and fitter, but I have also started to appreciate the fitness journey rather than obsessing about the goal alone.

He is exceptional at driving both motivation and discipline when your mind is struggling to act. First class trainer highly recommended for just about anyone at any age.

Sharon – Connor is a great coach. He adapted the workouts to my needs and was conscious of the safety of the exercises as well as encouraging me to progress in reps and weight. He gave me my confidence back in the gym!

Peter – I found Connor’s approach to the training excellent and the use of the apps and tech really made everything seamless. He wrote an ideal program for me and helped me get to grips with all the weight machines etc.

Harvey Middleton – Guildford

Harvey Middleton – Guildford

Hi, I’m Harvey, and I’m here to help you achieve your goals. Whether you’re a busy professional trying to fit fitness around your work life, struggling to find balance in your health journey, or simply looking to transform your physique, I’ll provide the expertise, guidance, and support you need. I specialise in results-driven coaching tailored to you—helping you lose fat, build strength, and feel confident, all without sacrificing your lifestyle.

Who am I? – Before we dive into what I can do for you, let me share a bit about my journey. Like many of my clients, I wasn’t always sure where to start. I began my fitness journey as an underweight, unconfident lad with little understanding of training or nutrition. Determined to grow stronger and healthier, I committed to learning everything I could about fitness—from effective training methods to building sustainable habits.

While at university, I launched my online coaching business, turning my passion into a career. After years of expanding my knowledge, gaining gym floor experience, and graduating with an Honours degree in Sport and Exercise Science, I now have the privilege of working with hundreds of people to transform their lives and create lasting change.

What is my goal? – My goal is to help you achieve long-lasting results through personalised, realistic plans that fit your lifestyle. Whether you want to lose body fat, build muscle, or feel fitter, I’ll create a tailored programme designed for you. I prioritise balance—no restrictive diets, no endless cardio, and certainly no “one-size-fits-all” plans. Your programme will work around your life, so you can achieve your goals while still enjoying time for social and work activities.

Testimonials from clients
Lee – “Harvey completely transformed my outlook on health and fitness. He supported me through all aspects of life, helping me go from 101kg to 80kg in under 11 months. I can’t recommend him enough!”

Steve – “In my 50s, I struggled with weight gain and aching joints. Harvey helped me lose 2 stone in 3 months, and I feel like a new person—no more belly, no more aching limbs!”

Tara – “During the busiest part of my university degree, Harvey helped me lose 9kg and build sustainable habits that I’ve maintained since. I now feel more routine, stronger, and confident!”

What can you expect? – When you join my coaching programme, we’ll start by understanding your goals and lifestyle to create a bespoke plan—because no two people are the same. Your personalised programme will be available on my all-in-one, user-friendly app, complete with your workouts, an exercise library, and tools to track your nutrition, exercises, and habits. You can expect patience, encouragement, humour, and expert guidance as we work together step by step.

Lewis - PT

Lewis Walkinshaw – Havant

I’m Lewis Walkinshaw, owner of BeMindset! With a 1st class degree with honours in Sport and Exercise Science and experience serving in the Royal Navy, I’ve always been dedicated to helping others. Now, as a personal trainer, my mission is to support each client with genuine care, building a fitness journey that strengthens both body and mind.

Training Philosophy: “Focus your mind, your body will follow.” My goal is to help you achieve the fitness you’ve always wanted—not by focusing solely on physical appearance, but by working on a mindset shift. When you prioritise mental strength, your body naturally aligns with your goals.

Vision: My vision is to empower clients to stay active, agile, and resilient as they age. By focusing on functional fitness, mobility, and strength, I help clients build a foundation that supports their bodies in daily life minimising the impact of ageing on movement and vitality. Whether you’re looking to feel stronger, move with ease, lose weight, or maintain independence, I’m here to guide you toward a balanced, sustainable fitness approach that keeps you thriving over time.

My Journey: Fitness has been transformational in my life. I struggled with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) from a young age, which led to perfectionism and anxiety as I got older. Through commitment to mindset work and consistent gym practice, I conquered those challenges, and now, my mission is to support others on their own journeys. I’m here to show you that your struggles don’t define you.

What should you expect?: I’ll be with you every step of the way to create a fitness routine that works for you and feels enjoyable. Together, we’ll work to overcome any mental or physical barriers you’re facing, with the goal of incorporating healthy habits as part of your lifestyle. I am patient, genuinely care and never take myself too seriously so we can have a laugh along the way.
