Sarah Swainsbury - Head Trainer, Owner
Sarah's focus is on excellent form, fat loss and pre/post-natal training.
"My interest in fitness started when I began running to lose weight whilst working in Kent. Then when I moved to London I joined an excellent gym which introduced me to a whole new range of fitness-related disciplines, including strength, conditioning and circuit training techniques. In two years I lost just under three stone and gained a newfound confidence. It was then that I realised I wanted to help other people achieve their fitness goals, and so I set about obtaining the appropriate fitness qualifications, so that I could be ready to launch Celebrity Circuits whilst on maternity leave with my first child.
As a mum of two, I know that finding time to exercise when you’re busy looking after a baby or toddler can be challenging. It’s also important to ensure that you don’t do too much too soon, but at the same time not waste the precious time you have on a programme that isn’t effective.
I have experienced first-hand the positive effects that come with boosting a person's fitness levels, and the difference it can make to their overall wellbeing. This is what Celebrity Circuits sets out to accomplish."
Sarah is dedicated to helping you achieve a better level of health and fitness whatever your age and level of fitness. From the moment you arrive at one of her sessions, you'll feel welcomed and relaxed.

"If you have never been to a fitness class or had a personal trainer before I know it can seem very daunting, but I can gradually ease you into your training at whatever pace you feel comfortable with. I am very friendly and my aim is for you to enjoy your time with Celebrity Circuits, not dread it! In my fitness classes I always offer modifications for exercises so that you are able to work at your own pace. In our 1:1 sessions I will work closely with you to set realistic, achievable goals that suit YOUR needs and lifestyle, and I will be there to motivate you every step of the way to ensure those goals are reached."
Katie Hattley - Personal Trainer
“I fell in love with fitness 10 years ago when I first discovered kettlebells. Whilst I had tried other exercise classes and joined various gyms in the past I had never found something I enjoyed enough to really motivate me. I started going to classes twice a week and gradually built up my own kettlebell collection so I could also work out at home. I’m not sure what my neighbours thought as I lived in a flat at the time!
I first met Sarah when I was pregnant with my daughter and she held a Bumpfit class. Her passion, motivation and enthusiasm is contagious and I was excited to start PT with her once my little girl came along. We joined Babyfit too and as well as getting a great weekly workout we also quickly made lots of other mother and baby friends which was lovely. With the help of Sarah and the Celebrity Circuits’ 12-week kickstart programme I quickly got back to my pre-birth weight and got my body confidence back.
Becoming a personal trainer is something I’ve thought about on and off over the last few years but the timing hadn’t really been right until now. I’m so pleased and proud that in amongst everything in 2020 I managed to get my PT qualification and I can’t wait to put my experience into action with Celebrity Circuits.”
Jo Adams - Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor
“I believe that living a healthy lifestyle begins with maintaining a strong and fit body. I came into fitness later in life after a friend asked me to join her on a muddy obstacle run. By the end of it I was cold, wet and hooked! I decided I wanted to get fitter to enable me to compete in races. Exercise needs be something fun as you are more likely to stick with it. I then decided to complete my PT qualification so I could really understand the effect of exercise and nutrition on our bodies. During my training I was introduced to weight training (an area of the gym I normally avoided as I didn't know what I was doing) and I realised just how effective resistance training can be. It changed my body and the way I trained myself. I decided I wanted to help other women to become fitter, stronger, healthy and happier so working alongside Sarah is perfect for me.”
Sophie Campbell Duffy - Personal Trainer
“As a Midwife I have always had a huge interest in the body and its capabilities so I decided to combine it with my love for training and become a PT. It was when I had my son 11 years ago that I really discovered my passion for fitness as it suddenly dawned on me how much more the exercise benefited me physically and mentally.
Being a mum who works full time i completely understand how much of a struggle it is trying to find the time to exercise and maintain your fitness but it is possible. I am passionate about showing people that even if they exercise once or twice a week or even if you have to skip a week altogether, by doing the right exercises you can make a difference and look and feel great.”
