Our Trainers

We’re fussy about who we have working at The Barn KT9 as we want to ensure you get the attention you deserve.

The majority of our trainers are pre and postnatal qualified. From menstrual cycles through to menopause, pelvic floors and pregnancy, they understand how to train as a woman as this is often missed in mainstream gyms.

With personal training, the clue is in the name, so all sessions will be tailored to your needs to get you to where you want to be, and beyond.

Em P

Be happier, healthier and stronger in life. Em turns exercise from something you have to do, into something you want to do through her tailored programming.

Founder of The Barn KT9, Em became a pre and postnatal specialist trainer after realising that this stage is grossly underserved. A mum herself, she understands the barriers to exercise and the keenness to “feel yourself again”.

Neha P

Neha represents the coach she once needed and believes that sport and movement

have so much more purpose than what we've been brought up to believe.

Neha takes a holistic approach to training and her classes are designed to build strength, confidence and JOY beyond the gym. Regardless of where you’re at in your journey, Neha will meet you at your start line.
