Currently taking on new clients who want to get stronger without turning their life upside down.
Strength for normal, busy lives

Real Strength.
Real Lives.
Real Progress.

I help real people go from overwhelmed by the fitness industry to strong and confident, without having to train six days a week or eat like a bodybuilder.

Just three strength sessions a week, a realistic approach to nutrition, and the confidence to keep going when life gets in the way.

Why fitness should fit your life, not take it over
Dominique Chater
About Me

I understand both sides of the fitness journey.

I've been a qualified personal trainer for 8 years.

I'm 40, a mum to one boy, and I help real people start real strength training without it taking over their lives. Three sessions a week, a sensible approach to food, and the confidence to keep going when life gets messy.

Being a PT doesn't make you immune to any of it. I've lived with body dysmorphia, disordered eating, binge eating and over-restricting. I've been overweight and underweight. I lost my period for years. I fight an all-or-nothing personality every single day to break the cycle and live a strong, sustainable life.

"I don't feel like a fitness person, even though it's literally my job. And I think that's exactly why my clients trust me. I get it. All of it."

I care way more about the people than the before and afters. Results go far beyond the scales and progress photos. I see lives change, and that's the whole point. No tough love here. Just support, understanding and a realistic plan you can actually stick to.

What My Clients Say

Everyday people who found confidence, strength and progress that actually lasted.

Pippa, 39
In Person PT + Online Programming
"

I had been going to the gym for years and never saw any real physical changes. I would lose a bit of weight and then put it back on, but never saw any change in my body composition. I also never consistently did the same exercises, I would do random weights, classes, cardio, with no structure. Now I am so much more confident in myself, and I have built such good consistent habits that I love and genuinely enjoy keeping fit and healthy. My chin-ups are my proudest moment, I have always wanted to be able to lift my body weight up and finally achieved it! PT with Dom is the best thing you could do. So many people have noticed a difference in me and I put it all down to you and the hard work you have put in with me.

A Different Approach

You don't need more motivation. You need a plan that fits your life.

Most people know they should exercise and eat better. The reason they struggle isn't a lack of willpower. It's that most fitness advice assumes you have unlimited time, perfect discipline and a life organised around training. Apps sell the exciting version: six workouts a week, quick results, a brand new body in a month. That's easy to sell. It's almost impossible to live. This approach is different. Fitness should fit into your life, not the other way around.

Who This Is For

You don't have to be a "fitness person" to get strong.

Real people who want to start real strength training. If any of this sounds like you, you're in the right place:

You already train but stick to classes and cardio, and don't feel confident in the weights area, or you don't train at all and don't know where to begin
You train hard but aren't seeing the results you want, and you yo-yo with your weight
You go all in on training and food, then lose it all and end up back at the start
You have a busy career, family or social life and need fitness to fit around it

The Principles Behind It

Six ideas that shape how I coach.

1

Strength first

Build a capable, strong body rather than chasing endless workouts or quick fixes. Three sessions a week is enough when they're done right.

2

Nutrition without extremes

Eat in a way that supports your goals while still enjoying normal life. No foods banned, no guilt attached, no all-or-nothing.

3

Progress over perfection

You don't have to love training or even like it. You just have to do it repeatedly until it becomes a habit. A missed session isn't failure.

4

Confidence through understanding

Learn how to train and make decisions for yourself, so the gym feels like a place you belong rather than somewhere you feel out of place.

5

Consistency that survives real life

The plan has to work during busy weeks, holidays, family commitments and stressful periods. Not just the easy ones.

6

Results beyond the scales

I care far more about how your life changes than before and after photos. Strength, energy, confidence and capability that last for years.

You don't have to love it. You just have to keep showing up.

Ways We Can Work Together

Coaching that meets you where you are.

These aren't separate products. They're different ways of working with the same philosophy: build strength, understand what you're doing, and make progress that lasts.

1:1 Personal Training

Individualised training and coaching for people who want hands-on support, accountability and a clear plan built around them. Sessions are in person or via Zoom, whichever suits you. Perfect if you feel new or unsure in the gym and want someone right there with you.

  • Sessions tailored to your body and goals
  • Hands-on coaching and form guidance
  • In person or via Zoom, your choice
  • Real-time accountability and feedback
  • Build confidence on the gym floor, together

Online Strength & Nutrition Coaching

Flexible coaching built around three strength sessions a week, so it fits your life instead of taking it over. Whether you're a complete beginner or already training but stuck, we build a plan you can actually sustain. Train at the gym or at home, whichever you prefer.

  • Three strength sessions a week, no more
  • Custom programme delivered to your phone
  • Train at home or in the gym, your choice
  • Nutrition guidance without restrictive diets
  • Weekly check-ins and ongoing support
How It Works

Simple, supportive and built around you.

No guesswork, no pressure. Just a clear path and a coach in your corner.

STEP 1

We talk through where you are now

A relaxed conversation about your experience, your routine, what's worked, what hasn't, and what you actually want from training. No pressure, no judgement.

STEP 2

You get a plan built around your life

Three strength sessions a week, designed for your schedule, equipment and goals. Not a generic template, and not something that needs you to live in the gym.

STEP 3

You train, learn and check in

Follow the plan at your pace, log your sessions, ask questions and send form videos when you want feedback. I'm there throughout, and I explain the why behind everything.

STEP 4

We adjust and keep moving forward

As you get stronger and life shifts, your programme shifts with you. Progress is steady, sustainable and built to last, without burnout or taking over your life.
