Who is Batesfit?

Hi, I’m Hannah, the founder and trainer at BatesFit. I am a fully qualified Level 2 Fitness Instructor and Level 3 Personal Trainer, with over four years of experience specialising in women’s health and fitness. I’ve had the privilege of working with female clients ranging in age from 15 to 80, helping them achieve their individual goals.

As a teenager, I struggled with my weight and body image, quickly discovering that restrictive, quick-fix diets were neither healthy nor sustainable. Through research and personal experience, I learned how to balance proper nutrition and effective exercise to achieve—and maintain—the results I wanted.

This journey sparked my passion for helping women transform their health and fitness. I focus on weight and resistance training, which I believe is the most effective method for long-term fat loss and overall health. By working closely with my clients, I tailor individualised programs to suit their unique needs and goals, empowering them to build strength, confidence, and a sustainable lifestyle.

 

 

 

At BatesFit, I specialise in teaching weight training to women, focusing on sculpting and toning their bodies. If you’ve ever wondered what it truly means to be “toned,” the answer is simple: muscle. And the most effective way to build muscle is through weight training.

Have you ever attributed being overweight to having a "slow" metabolism? If so, you're in luck—weight training not only builds muscle but also boosts your metabolic rate. The more muscle mass you have, the more calories your body burns at rest, leading to long-term fat loss.

The benefits of weight training go far beyond aesthetics:

  • Increased Confidence and Self-Esteem: Feel empowered and capable in your own skin.
  • Time-Efficient Workouts: Weight training requires less time than cardio to maintain your shape.
  • Reduced Health Risks: It decreases the likelihood of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, and arthritis.
  • Stronger Joints and Bones: Essential for staying functional and injury-free as you age.
  • Balanced Hormones: Strength training is now recommended by doctors to help regulate hormonal imbalances in women, supporting better health and well-being.
  • Enhanced Immunity: Improved muscle health optimises how your body utilizes nutrients, keeping you resilient against illness.
  • Better Mental Health: Studies reveal that regular physical activity can reduce the risk of depression and dementia by up to 30%.
    As women, it’s vital to feel strong, powerful, and confident in our own skin. Weight training not only provides physical strength but also fosters the confidence and resilience to tackle everyday challenges—all while keeping you in incredible shape!
