Private female personal trainer in Stourport

Reach your fitness goals in a safe and supportive environment

I’m Petra Bland and I am a female private personal trainer, offering both 1:1 and group coaching sessions to clients in and around Stourport.

I believe in setting long-term goals, not quick wins. Together we can figure out the obstacles stopping you from losing weight sustainably and improving your overall fitness long-term.

My aim is to help you become stronger and fitter, without hating the process. You’ll receive personalised programmes for fat loss, strength building and muscle gain, or whatever your long-term fitness goals are.

Why choose me as your personal trainer?

I can 100% relate

I know it’s hard to juggle everything. I am a mum in my 40s, have two (very) energetic dogs, run a business, and my to-do list is ever-growing. I understand your struggles, and used to look for quick fixes, putting all my faith in fad diets. They never worked in the long run and didn’t do anything for my already limited energy levels. There was a turning point. I remember sitting on a bench, watching my daughter play, wishing I could join in but not having the strength to do so. I knew my mindset had to change. I stopped the excuses and am now living the best version of myself. I am proud to have a healthy and positive relationship with exercise and food, and can help you get there too.


I’ll 100% keep you on track

We all have the best intentions, and know what we need to do and why. The issue is keeping on track, if you don’t have the support or accountability. That is why I am here. I can keep you accountable and on track. Together we’ll reach your health and fitness goals within a realistic timeline.


I’m 100% there for the hard times

Let’s be realistic. There will be times when you want to throw in the towel and quit. I’ll be there to remind you why you’re doing this and more importantly, that you can absolutely do this. Whatever support or reassurance you need, I am here for you.

Some clients feel more comfortable discussing specific body concerns, hormonal changes and personal goals with a trainer who is also female. I can understand and relate to your situation and challenges. I pride myself on creating a supportive environment which is judgement-free, giving you confidence.

Most clients choose to come to my home gym in Hartlebury to train. It’s fully equipped, offers a distraction-free space and is easily accessible from the main A449 road. If you feel more comfortable working out at home or in a gym closer to where you live, we can discuss this during our initial free consultation.

Also, if you prefer fresh air to four walls, my gym is outside, with shelter to keep you dry even on those rainy and wet days. With a range of outdoor spaces including Redstone Marsh, Riverside Meadows, Moorhall Nature Reserve, and Burlish Meadows, we can explore adding other outside workouts to your plan.

Yes of course, you don’t need to have prior experience to train with me. I often work with beginners, and will be with you every step of the way.

Every new client gets a free initial conversation, where we can chat through your goals, current challenges and make sure we’re the right fit for each other.

This depends on your goals, and of course your financial situation. I work with clients on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis, whatever is best for you. You will also be provided with home workout plans, and I can also support on a nutrition basis too.

As to what you should expect, each workout is personalised to the individual. To give you an idea, all sessions start with a warm up, followed by a cool down and stretching. The main section of your workout depends on the goals we have discussed. Typically we’ll do a round of different exercises, focused on a particular area(s) of the body, mixing up cardio with weight training.

I offer specific training plans and support for those who are going through either perimenopause or menopause. I also do interactive workshops, where you can learn more about nutrition, movement, sleep and stress management, exploring the impact that they have.

The most important thing to remember is water, you have to keep yourself hydrated. When it comes to clothing, make sure you wear something that is comfortable, and doesn’t restrict your movement. If working outdoors, make sure you’re dressed for the weather. Then it depends on whether you’re training at home or in my gym. My gym is fully equipped. If you’re working at home, I’ll suggest equipment you can buy or what we can use that you already have. Other than that, it’s always useful to have a towel handy to wipe away all that sweat from your hard work.
