I recently received a massage from Charlie and I cannot recommend her highly enough. The massage was specifically tailored to help with my recovery from a knee injury and it has made a significant difference.

Charlie’s warm and welcoming personality put me at ease. She took the time to listen to my concerns and tailored the session to my specific needs. She also provided invaluable advice on exercises and self-care to speed my recovery.

I’ve been using Charlie for powerlifting coaching for a few months and seen progress in my lifting straight away. The coaching is really amazing and will help anyone progress from beginners to advanced. I also completed the level 1 powerlifting coaching course and was really impressed. 2 days of brilliant teaching with good course structure of theory and practicals. Definitely helped me improve my own ability and to be able to help others too.

Charlie’s coaching is fantastic and the advice she gives is always excellent! I started training with Charlie in August 2023 and have since done my first competition where I was very happy with all my lifts.
I have struggled my lower back previously as well and Charlie has given me fantastic advice and exercises to help with this!

I started training with Charlie in February and despite being a complete novice in Powerlifting, I was made to feel very welcome and part of the team. She has provided me with a very comprehensive training program and I’m already working towards my second competition in October.

Absolutely amazing! Charlie is so knowledgeable, very thorough and really supportive. When I’m injured or having a tough training session she always knows what to say and helps me to work through things!

I started with SWS&C when I was 18. I was playing rugby at a reasonable standard, and training a little- running and rugby training. I met Charlie at Supermarine, she was running some circuit sessions at the rugby club in the summer. From there I had my first few sessions and I genuinely fell in love with Charlie’s enthusiasm and what she is about. I loved learning to lift, I loved the beginners gains even more. What was so beneficial to me is that we worked to my strengths, and the environment was so feel good and positive. What I really loved was the quantitative nature of weight lifting, you are really able to see how much you are progressing. SWS&C helped me with my technique, overall strength and power, but most of all my attitude to training, the way I could structure my programme and nutritional advice. How to change things so I kept being re engaged and motivated. SWS&C helped me massively in taking the step from South West 1 rugby, to Championship and then to Premiership.

The environment SWS&C creates is one where you can really grow, Charlie helps you feel at ease. I was always afraid of trying new styles of training or new weights, but SWS&C lets you know that your not pushing yourself unless you fail- its how you get better. Charlie even picks you up and drives you home if you go flying off a box jump, or mops you up when you split your hand on a snatch pull.

I would recommend SWS&C to any family member or friend. Even if they were not interested in athlete status, they can gain life skills and confidence from SWS&C.
