The story

Why the studio is small on purpose

Kestlow Strength is one trainer and one small room. Tamsin sees one client or one pair per session, so there is no queue for equipment and nobody watching from the next bench.

Sessions are booked in advance, and the studio door stays locked between them. Each one is written up afterwards, so the next session starts where the last one finished.

For people who would rather not travel, Tamsin brings the kit to them: a living room, a garage or a garden within 5 miles of the studio.

Tamsin Rook

Personal trainer and founder Fictional profile

Tamsin started coaching in 2016 in a busy town centre gym, then opened a small private studio in Knutsford so clients could train without queuing for equipment or shouting over music they did not choose.

Her sessions suit people who have never held a barbell as well as people who already lift. She keeps them calm, writes everything down and would rather you leave wanting to come back than too tired to walk to the car.

What to ask any trainer

Sample reviews

What clients say a few months in

Sample review

“I had not lifted anything heavier than a shopping bag in years. Tamsin started me with a kettlebell and a box to sit back onto, and wrote every weight in a notebook I still keep.”

  • Sample review

    “My brother and I train together on Thursday evenings. She keeps us both busy without turning it into a contest, which is quite a skill with the two of us.”

    Dev, KnutsfordPartner training
  • Sample review

    “I train on my own at a gym near work and see Tamsin once a month. When a work trip took out a fortnight, she wrote me a shorter plan for the hotel gym.”
