I started training with Tamsyn in London at the end of 2007, in the lead-up to the filming of Twilight. It was pretty intense. We trained every day except for Christmas Day and New Years Day. She had a fairly specific training brief: I needed to look defined but not too muscled. Tams put me on a combination of cardio weights, functional training and boxing. She kept me motivated even when I was tired and fed up, and also acted as a nutritional conscience, stopping just short of turning up in restaurants to wrestle the fries out of my hands. We’ve trained periodically since then, for both the filming of New Moon and for the Oscars in 2009. I recommend her as a personal trainer, because she does the impossible: makes training enjoyable.

In one word ‘Motivation’. Tamsyn consistently ensures that I push myself just that bit harder. Only she can get me to look forward to training at 07.00! Her program was so beneficial to me with only limited time in which to achieve that pre wedding target

I have been training with Tamsyn for almost 3 years, she created a session sequence tailored to my needs, especially during pregnancy. I trained up until 2 weeks before giving birth (the photo is taken a week pre delivery) and it kept me toned, strong and in a way sane through this vulnerable time. Tamsyn is amazing at adapting to our various needs and states, I have now started training again post pregnancy and I value her nutritional advice as much as the tough work I now have to take to be back in top shape, It is also great to have Tams’ knowledge on anatomy, physio and overall knowledge of women specific issues (think C Section and the likes) in order to build a real holistic approach to health and exercising along with her incredible energy and sense of humour, I really do look forward to our weekly sessions (well even if I do sometimes hate the way she makes my muscles ache and burn ... )

Due to my job and lifestyle I of course want to look good and be healthy but don't really have the time!....As a rule I don't really enjoy working out especially outside but Tamsyn made the time fly by and I ended up looking forward to getting out in the fresh air for a work out! (She’s friendly fun and pushy!..) After only a few sessions I saw the results, impressive as I had not seen this after years in the gym!.... She got me ready for the party... the holiday... the date!... for any event she worked closely with me guiding my diet and work out sessions. What I liked about Tamsyn was an appreciation for the modern world of wanting to look good quick with a balance of knowledge of the natural world,,, juices and herbal remedies for any ailments I had etc. I have had about 4 personal trainers but will continue to use Tamsyn and recommend her to friends!

As guest Coach of the Bootleggers at the Cape Town Tens I was really impressed with the professionalism shown by Tamsyn Hamilton. In her support role she delivered an excellent set of pre-match warm ups and post match cool downs. In addition her assessment of injuries, treatment and advice on rehabilitation ensured we had as many players as possible available throughout this intense tournament. Tamsyn became an integral part of the group and added to the positive atmosphere within the squad. I look forward to working with her in the future

Working with Tamsyn gave me my confidence, strength and figure back after my son was born. I couldn't believe how after the first few sessions I felt like my old self again. She inspired me, motivated me and listened to my goals and helped me focus on achieving them. It's really important to me to work with someone who is intelligent and experienced to make the most of the limited time I have to spend exercising. Working with Tamsyn I got the result I was after.

Training with Tamsyn has been a revelation. Having had a long period of indifference to most forms of exercise, I now have clear goals (both exercise and nutritional), and she has converted me from a person sadly lacking in willpower to a fighting fitness fanatic (well, nearly!). I have seen an amazing improvement in my stamina and body shape, and I have been impressed by her willingness to listen to my personal goals and to help me achieve them. With Tamsyn, I do not feel that I am on a conveyor belt. She is friendly and supportive, and her varied and tailored training programs leave no room for boredom. A gem of a personal trainer!

Tamsyn is quite simply, the ultimate personal trainer: she takes a wholly holistic approach to her training, meaning that she not only considers the physical requirements that you have and therefore the exercise plan that you need but also what supplements or complementary things might be needed for you, your lifestyle and your total well being. I was nervous when I first began training with Tamsyn as I have tried so many different types of exercise and training to get the shape that I really want over the years but her approach soon had me on the straight and narrow and she kept me highly motivated.
During my time with Tamsyn I got engaged and she then worked with me on a well structured program to get me to my ideal shape and weight for my wedding...and it worked!!! She set me realistic goals and we worked towards them together and I will continue to see Tamsyn to ensure that I maintain my new shape! Tamsyn has always been flexible. She builds programs that fit with your lifestyle and who you are as a person (taking into account my penchant for a sweet treat of an afternoon!). I’ve always felt that Tamsyn takes the time to get to know you, what your own personal motivations are, what habits you find hard to break, what type of person you are, in order to enable her to craft the right session and program to meet your individual needs.

Matthew Oliver
Ex Professional Rugby Player and England u21
Having had a professional sports career in rugby since I left school, I have always been physically active. However when I stopped playing rugby professionally and started to launch a joint venture in the corporate world my lifestyle changed dramatically. I went from training a few times a day to a sedentary desk job, that although was great was not conducive to keeping me physically in shape. After a few years of the corporate life of rich dinners, drinks after work and an array of events on the weekends, my physical well being and health needed a serious check. I got back in touch with Tamsyn who certainly gave me the kickstart I needed, her support and knowledge of my two favourite sports certainly helped develop a routine that saw me go on to get back into competitive sports. I have now had two amateur boxing fights and am happy to say with no losses.

Sophie Bjorkenstam
Marketing Account Director & New Mum
Having a baby has been the most joyous and fulfilling experience of my life but after giving birth, I felt like I was starting all over with my fitness. I also didn’t know how I would find the time to exercise again with all the new things I faced as a first time mum. I started seeing Tamsyn when Ava was about 4 months old and literally within a couple of weeks of training with Tamsyn, I could feel and see improvements in my body. Throughout all my sessions, she has shown total empathy and understanding in how it feels to be a new mum but at the same time, she has kept me motivated to make sure I reach my goal. She has made it easy to train by allowing me to have baby along to our sessions and she even pops my daughter in her sling so all three of us get the most out of the session. I cannot recommend Tamsyn more highly! The results we have achieved together are amazing and I feel fitter and firmer than ever before. It's amazing to be back to my old self!

I would thoroughly recommend Tamsyn. She is an excellent personal trainer with just the right combination of motivation and challenge whilst being utterly personable and comforting. Tamsyn worked an absolute transformation on me. Tamsyn met me at a time of personal unhappiness (bereavement) and loss of confidence and motivation. She helped me to lose 2 stone, in a toned and effortless way get fit and get my energy and focus back, whilst all the time taking care to work with me at my pace, both physically and emotionally.
Now! I've never felt better! Her own physique and attitudes to food and health make her an exemplary role model. Book her in now! It's a fantastic investment.

Tamsyn worked with me and tailored a holistic workout and diet regime that was easy to follow and fit in well with my nomadic lifestyle. I was able to incorporate her workout regimes into my schedule no matter where I was – even if that meant working out in a hotel room. I don’t diet and this didn’t change with Tamsyn. I just learnt to make healthier choices so that the days I opt for a Burger and Fries now leave me guilt-free.
I started to see changes in my body within the first few weeks of working with her. Within months, I lost the unwanted pounds without much effort. We set goals together, whether that be getting into shape for the beach, a short dress or skinny jeans and this keeps the momentum going. Plus she checks in with me via regular Skype sessions and we meet for face-to-face sessions whenever I am in London – and she tweaks the programs accordingly. I feel so much better and more confident with my body now and I no longer feel restricted in my wardrobe choices – which is an amazing feeling!
I would highly recommend her to anyone who feels stuck in a rut and looking for a lifestyle change for the better. Having someone like Tamsyn as a great support – and once in a while to give you a kick up the ........... makes it a whole lot easier to achieve!

I have known Tamsyn for 2 years now and she helped me to have a stronger and firmer body. She understood exactly what I wanted and combined different exercises (from boxing, yoga, stretching, weights..) to help me to achieve my goals.
I see her only one hour per week and the rest of the week I do the sports I want. But she takes a lot of time for outside of our hour training with emails to give me information about herbal or organic treatments, to give me the name of her physiotherapist, the best place to do yoga or simply with a short message to motivate me to exercise, detox or a new challenge
Now, Tamsyn is my drug, and I can’t spend more than 2 weeks without seeing her. She is a very good, I recommend her in total confidence.

I started seeing Tamsyn as felt unfit and squishy after a few months of too much eating and drinking. And although I've always gone to the gym, I also felt that my routine was getting stale. Tamsyn recommended ways to tweak my eating habits to stop the mid-afternoon sugar cravings, and started me on a program of weights and circuit training. Each session was different, so I never got bored, and I started noticing results - firming up and toning - within a few weeks. After two months and twelve sessions, I am thrilled with the results. My body has noticeably changed shape - more defined shoulders, stronger back, flatter stomach, slimmer torso, and general weight loss - and I have more energy. Tam also leaves me with easy-to-follow routines to do at home when I'm not seeing her. I really enjoy every session. I'm now looking forward to working out a long-term maintenance program to keep me on the slim and narrow...

Tamsyn is an extremely qualified, methodical and focused personal trainer. She provided me with a personalised workout schedule which was customised to my training requirements and aspirations. Working with Tamsyn is extremely rewarding not to mention motivating experience which is function of her ability to gauge an individuals strengths and limitations thereby focusing effectively on areas of improvement. She provided me with a work out schedule as well a dietary regimen which has helped improve my eating habits not to mention allowed me to maintain a much healthier lifestyle.
Tamsyn shows a level of interest and concern in her work that cannot be found with trainers and coaches available at most popular gyms and fitness centers.
The other great thing about Tamsyn is her willingness to work on a flexible schedule and I would recommend Tamsyn as a personal trainer to anyone who is looking to develop or improve their workout regimen as well as live a fuller and healthier life.

Tamsyn is an essential in my life: she combines great physical training at home at convenient time with lots of different and targeted exercises, useful diet and lifestyle advice and a real "motivation booster" (even outside the sessions). She has helped me tone my body the way I wanted while managing to keep up my motivation level throughout the weeks! I have recommended her to all my friends and none was disappointed.

After 2 years of training with Tamsyn, I cannot only say that I am feeling much more confident in my body - pre, post and during pregnancy- but I am feeling good as well in my mind. Through all the sessions Tamsyn made me understand 2 things: Sport makes you look good but feel good as well!
These 1h weekly sessions gave me back the love for training in a smart way - not just mechanically going to the gym each 3 days or so and bicycling to lose some weight. Training with Tamsyn is more about finding the best look which can define you. Sessions are all different, from the boxing to circuit, and she can even make you like the worst exercises! As times goes by she made me aware of a good dietary intake without it necessarily being a militant one. And finally eating healthy becomes more a nice habit than just a mandatory thing.
Tamsyn gave me all the right advice during my pregnancy to keep up on training without overdoing things (as well as me feeling good we also now have the happy and healthy baby 'Rose' pictured here). And Tamsyn did the same thing 5 months after giving birth to get me back in shape. Believe it or not I am looking forward each time now to sweat!

I have bounced around gyms, exercise classes, trainers and diet fads for years. Never able to really stick at it when boredom kicks in after that initial burst of enthusiasm. I have started countless fitness plans without finishing them and when I came across Sgt . T (as I like to call her - Tamsyn Hamilton to the rest of you) I was in a real rut. Unhappy with my weight and lack of tone, listless, lethargic, out and out down in the dumps and desperate to get my energy levels up. I knew Sgt . T was going to be different from anyone else I had ever worked with as I immediately felt that I was working with someone who cared about my individual needs and had the imagination and knowledge to tailor make my sessions and get the results I wanted. Never dull, always switching up the routines and altering the pace Sgt . T keeps me pushing myself and I remain enthusiastic about each opportunity I get to train with her - and the results - this lady knows muscles and it wasn't long before I was looking in the mirror and seeing the little cuts, dips and tone and my shape that I had always dreamed of. That coupled with the praise of family and friends of my new sexy silhouette gave me a real boost. I couldn't have done it without the guidance and encouragement of Sgt. T.

Training with Tamsyn has been great. I’m not the easiest person to motivate and she knew how to deal with me from the outset and how to whip me into shape in a way that I can cope with! She wasn’t just invaluable during the time in the gym…her help extended to everything, giving me great nutritional advice and general lifestyle tips.
I have a problem with my knee and Tamsyn perfectly tailored our sessions to ensure this didn’t flare up. I would recommend anyone to train with Tamsyn. She also has a lovely sunny disposition which makes her a pleasure to be around (even when you’re cursing on the cross trainer!).

Tamsyn is absolutely amazing. I have had a personal trainer in the past and now realise the vast difference and what a waste of time that was. Tamsyn completely tailored the training to my individual needs and changed the routine regularly so that I never got bored. My body shape changed - something I thought would never happen and I am now wearing clothes I would never dare to wear before. She works holistically - looking at a balance of food, nutrition, sleep and what is happening in your personal/work life to address stress levels etc. The results of this approach are incredible. It gives you a sustainable change in your lifestyle and outlook after the training too. Not only was I looking slimmer, fitter and had a better posture - but noticed a change in my energy levels. I was bouncing around. And the best proof of this for me was when everyone around me noticed it too.
