lygaiva health & fitness Reviews 

I was really happy to have a female PT who created an emotionally safe space for me. Lyga fully understood what I wanted to achieve, listened to my goals and gave me helpful advice and guidance on the correct way to achieve them. My main goal was to build strength, and since we started working together I’ve been able to lift much heavier weights compared to where I started. I worked on my form and gradually got better, which gave me the confidence to challenge myself with heavier weights.

I’ve built more muscle and my body is more toned, especially my glutes and calves. I’m also more confident than ever at the gym, and that confidence has carried over into my personal life too. I found the in-person sessions and check-in feedback especially valuable and always felt comfortable asking questions during our 121 sessions. Lyga understands women’s health and the challenges that come with it, and she always checked my energy levels and worked according to what I was able to do that day. The coaching was tailored very well to my individual needs and fitness level, and I now feel confident that I can work out independently, safely and with the right mindset.

Training with Lyga through her hybrid coaching completely changed my relationship with the gym. Before we started, I was worried I wouldn’t be able to commit to a workout plan as I’d never been consistent and used to train purely based on my energy levels, without seeing much progress. Lyga helped by creating continuity in my training, teaching me which machines and weights I was using, what they were targeting, and helping me truly understand my workouts. Her communication was very good, and she was always accessible if I had questions. I always felt safe asking questions and never felt judged.
Lyga programmed workouts that suited my ability and what I wanted to progress in, with my main goals being weight loss, building strength, and learning how to use gym equipment properly. My biggest achievement since starting has been my confidence, I’ve never felt this confident in myself before. This has had such a positive impact on my mindset and daily life, and I now have a routine that fits smoothly into my lifestyle. The motivation and encouragement were honestly 10000/10; Lyga was always there when I needed that push and helped me stop undermining myself. I’ve learned to be patient, enjoy my workouts instead of seeing them as chores, and I’ve tried exercises I would never have done alone. I would 100% recommend Lyga to others, as she truly listens, tailors sessions to your goals, communicates consistently, and makes you feel heard.

Working with Lyga has been amazing! I was complete beginner at the gym when I started working with her; I didn't know how the machines worked and I had a lot of anxiety about going to the gym. During our initial consultation meeting Lyga listened to my concerns, and these were taken into account when coming up with my training programme. During our sessions Lyga was able to teach me the correct way to train. She was persistent and determined to help me, even when I was slightly hopeless! I could already see changes in my strength and posture in a month. I especially liked the flexibility of hybrid working, this meant I could go to my preferred gym at a time that worked with my schedule and follow the training programme. I would definitely be recommending Lyga!

Training with Lyga has been an incredibly uplifting experience. I didn’t have any concerns before starting, I was actually excited, as I’d followed her from afar and already knew I’d be in safe hands. Lyga’s communication is always clear and easy to understand, and she takes the time to explain any exercises I struggle with. I’ve always felt comfortable asking questions, and she really tailors each session to my fitness level, pushing me further than I thought I could go.
My goal was to regain my love for fitness, build strength, and understand which exercises suit me best, and I’ve definitely achieved that. I’m most proud of lifting weights I never imagined I could. I feel so much stronger, more confident in the gym, and my mood has lifted massively since we began training. Even though my form isn’t perfect yet, I’m more determined than ever to keep improving. The motivation and encouragement Lyga brings to every session is a solid 10 out of 10. I’d highly recommend her to anyone.

Training with Lyga has been such a positive experience. My main goal was to stop slouching, and my only concern at the start was whether I’d actually be able to achieve that. Lyga explained clearly which muscles we needed to work on, and that made everything so much easier to understand. Her communication is always clear, especially when it comes to explaining correct form during exercises, and I’ve always felt totally comfortable asking questions.
She adjusts the weights and sessions based on how I’m feeling that day, which has made the training feel really personal and manageable. Since we started, I’ve built a stronger body and can now do full push-ups, which I’m really proud of. I feel stronger overall and notice that I’m not slouching most of the time anymore. I’ve felt motivated throughout our sessions, and I actually enjoy being pushed to do more. I would 100% recommend Lyga to anyone.

Training with Lyga has been exactly what I needed to regain my confidence in weight training after being inconsistent for a while. She really listened to my needs and made me feel comfortable explaining my goals. Lyga tracked my progress over time, helping me build confidence with weights, whether it was through multiple reps or pushing myself with new challenges. She also ensured I was comfortable setting up equipment, which has given me confidence when training alone at the gym.

Her communication was always clear and easy to understand, and from day one, I felt comfortable asking questions because of her welcoming presence. Lyga tailored the exercises to fit my goals, which were mainly to build confidence in weight training. I’m proud of being able to use the squat rack again and squat my body weight, as well as completing up to 50 walking lunges in one round.

After each session, I feel more positive both mentally and physically, and Lyga’s constant encouragement motivates me to push myself further each time. I would 100% recommend her to others, as she listens to your goals and tailors the training to help you reach them. While she pushes you out of your comfort zone, she does it realistically, allowing you to build strength and form over time.

I have been training with Lyga since March and really enjoy each session. Before I started, I wanted to see what others experience of training with Lyga was like and I was very happy with all the reviews I read online.

I had a somewhat complicated medical history and Lyga has taken that into consideration when we train, making sure I feel comfortable and safe in the exercises we do. I feel so much stronger, confident and fitter in the 6 months we have trained - I can't wait to see what I look/feel like after a year of Lyga coaching me!

Really recommend her services, she does not provide a 'one shoe fits all' approach which I really like. She is very knowledgable, has her clients at the centre of her priority and is all around a really nice person!

Would highly (and I have done!) recommend Lyga as a PT and women's coach.

Training with Lyga has been an incredibly positive experience. Initially, I was concerned about being too much of a beginner since I am a slow learner. However, Lyga's patience put me at ease, and her clear communication, always accompanied by physical demonstrations, made everything easy to understand. I felt safe and comfortable asking questions, never feeling judged. Lyga adjusts to my abilities daily, considering factors like nutrition and sleep.

My main goals were to get stronger and feel good, and since we started, I am proud of my consistency in the gym and my ability to use the machines. I feel significantly stronger in my day-to-day activities, which has positively impacted my work as a mental health nurse. Before training with Lyga, I struggled with restraining patients, but now I can manage it as long as needed without my grip giving in. Lyga's motivation and encouragement have been crucial; she believes in me even when I struggle.

Additionally, Lyga is always understanding and was personally there to help me find solutions when I faced potential interruptions in my training. I am very likely to recommend Lyga to others due to her commitment and understanding nature.

I was initially shy and anxious about starting training with Lyga because I had no idea what to expect. However, Lyga made me feel comfortable straight away from the introductory session. As an understanding person, Lyga could always relate to certain situations, which was very helpful. Communication was always clear and easy to understand, and I felt 100% comfortable asking questions or seeking clarification during the training.

Lyga catered to my individual needs, preferences, and fitness level exceptionally well. As a beginner, there was never too much pressure, and I appreciated how Lyga avoided overwhelming me, taking my anxiety into consideration. My main goal was to gain muscle, but Lyga also helped me get into fitness and health.

I'm really proud of the confidence I've gained; I can now go to the gym on my own! I've noticed significant improvements in my mental health; the training experience definitely burst a dark bubble for me. Lyga's motivation and encouragement were crucial; without it, I wouldn't have gotten out of bed some days.

Outside of training, Lyga's help with protein suggestions and overall health advice, such as addressing my iron problem, was more helpful than expected. I've already recommended Lyga to a few friends because I know they can have a great gym experience just like I did.

I was Lyga’s online coaching client for three months. My main concern was the potential overwhelm of the workouts, fearing I might not be able to complete them. However, I was pleasantly surprised by Lyga's attentive approach during our initial consultation. It was evident she genuinely listened, striking the perfect balance.

Communication with Lyga was clear from the get-go, providing a solid foundation for our collaboration. The questionnaire she provided further set the tone, ensuring clarity and alignment of goals. I appreciated the opportunity to check-in via Google Doc questionnaire weekly, and Lyga's understanding and patience when life got busy.

With a mixed fitness level, including a struggle with extended cardio but a love for strength training, I found Lyga's guidance valuable. She structured my workouts to accommodate my abilities while pushing me to progress.

My initial goal was simple: to establish a consistent exercise routine. I've achieved just that, maintaining a regular gym attendance for nearly four months now. The noticeable improvements in my strength and overall well-being have been remarkable.

Through Lyga's coaching, I've gained invaluable insights into nutrition and sleep, dispelling the misconceptions perpetuated by diet culture. Understanding the importance of proper fuelling for workouts and prioritising sleep for recovery has been transformative.

Lyga's support and encouragement helped me navigate challenges and maintain motivation. Her honesty about the nature of motivation resonated deeply, highlighting the importance of consistency.

Beyond workouts, Lyga offered guidance and resources to manage stress and anxiety. Her holistic approach to coaching, combined with the convenience of online training, has been instrumental in keeping me focused and motivated.

I wholeheartedly recommend Lyga's online training to anyone seeking personalised support and guidance on their fitness journey. Her commitment to aligning with individual goals make her a standout choice. The app provided for tracking workouts and progress adds further convenience and motivation.

What began as a quest for a bit of guidance has evolved into a journey of self-discovery and enjoyment. Thanks to Lyga, I've not only learned more about fitness but I actually learnt to enjoy working out now instead of just tolerating it!

When I started my fitness journey, I was concerned about keeping up with the workouts. However, with guidance and support from Lyga those worries were quickly alleviated. She tailored the workouts to my ability, addressing my injuries, and gradually increasing intensity for safe and steady progress. Her positive reinforcement and motivation were invaluable, making the journey rewarding. Lyga’s clear communication made the experience enjoyable, and I always felt comfortable seeking clarification. She excelled in catering to my unique needs and fitness level, even when dealing with my knee issues and post-sports recovery.

My main goals were to improve strength, conditioning, and overall fitness. I'm especially proud of my increased strength and confidence using weights, notably in my upper body.

Lyga’s holistic approach to training, including nutrition and sleep advice, improved my overall well-being. I'm genuinely thrilled with the progress. I highly recommend her personal training services due to the exceptional results and her unwavering commitment to clients' success. Thank you for helping me transform my fitness and well-being; it's been an incredible journey so far!

Lyga played a crucial role in helping me overcome my fear of the free weight area. Her guidance and support helped me feel more at ease. Communication was clear and easy to understand, which made the whole process more enjoyable. Lyga’s friendly and approachable attitude made me feel comfortable asking questions and seeking clarification during our sessions. I've been pleasantly surprised by the progress I've made in lifting heavier weights than I ever thought possible.

Initially, my main goal was weight loss, but I've gained so much more strength through our training. My day-to-day movements feel easier and more fluid. One of my proudest achievements since we began training is successfully lifting 115kg in deadlifts!

Working with Lyga has transformed my perspective on food and eating habits. I've adopted healthier eating patterns, thanks to her guidance. My overall sense of health and strength has greatly improved. (Thank you for everything! Please continue being the fantastic motivator that you are!)

The positive changes I've experienced in my fitness, strength, and overall health are undeniable. I feel significantly stronger and moving around is so much smoother. Lyga’s level of motivation and encouragement during our sessions has been exceptional. I like the way she pushes me in a positive way to see how much more I can achieve as an individual. Overall, I'm highly motivated and encouraged to continue with this type training which will support all my goals.

I would absolutely recommend Lyga’s personal training to others.

Before starting training with Lyga, I was a bit worried about starting strength training without much knowledge. However, she quickly addressed my worries by encouraging me at the right pace and making the machines less intimidating. I truly appreciate her motivational approach and how she makes the workouts feel enjoyable, its like hanging out with a friend. Lyga’s clear communication made it easy to understand the training, and I've always felt comfortable asking questions.

Lyga's ability to cater to my needs, preferences, and fitness level sets her apart as a personal trainer. Not only did she take the time to research my PCOS and its impact on exercise, but she also helped me shift my food mindset. We had frequent discussions about food, and her guidance allowed me to break free from the restrictive eating mindset. Instead of demonising food, I learned to enjoy a sweet treat without feeling guilty or going overboard. This has been a game-changer for me and has made my journey to overall health more sustainable and positive.

When we started training, my main goal was weight loss to improve my chances of getting pregnant, but Lyga helped me realise that overall health and well-being are equally important. The focus on becoming stronger and healthier, both physically and mentally, has been empowering. As a result of her guidance, I've experienced significant improvements in my daily life within a short span of time.

Physically, I'm proud to say that I can now easily carry heavy shopping bags without feeling fatigued lol. Moreover, I no longer suffer from lower back, hand, and wrist pains that used to bother me frequently. Mentally, I've noticed better sleep, increased strength and improved stamina. But most importantly, my PCOS symptoms have already shown remarkable improvement within just two months. My periods have become more regular and less painful, and I no longer feel lethargic throughout the day. I'm even sleeping better at night.

Lyga’s level of motivation and encouragement during training has been outstanding, and it's evident that she genuinely cares about my progress. I highly recommend her personal training services to others because she helped me focus on my long-term health and well-being, making weight loss a natural byproduct of my newfound strength and resilience. Thank you for empowering me to achieve these incredible changes in my life!❤️

Lyga has helped me in many ways.
Before coming to the gym I was very nervous and didn’t have a clue where to start I knew the basics. Finding Lyga was a life changer. I spoke to her about what I wanted to do and what she thought was best. She gave me a different insight In going to the gym and I am forever thankful for this because now because of Lyga going to the gym has become something I love and not a chore.
She is very easy to talk to and helps with everything. She pushed me in many ways and showed me my own Strength which I never knew I had. She would always motivate me and that’s what I needed in a PT I needed someone to help push me. Since training with Lyga I’ve been able to push myself and my strength to a level I never knew I was capable of. Also since training I feel happy within myself and much more positive this is because of how she talks to me through my session giving me good advice on being healthy within myself.
I am forever thankful for finding Lyga and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a PT.

I feel like for the level of quality and care that goes into the pt sessions I have with Lyga is very high. Due to having a back injury I really wanted to take it slow and push myself slowly. I felt nervous about it at first but Lyga knew when to push me and when to slow it right down. Thank you Lyga!!!

I’ve been working with Lyga for several months now and needless to say I’m beyond happy with the progress I have made. She has pushed me beyond my limits which has left me feeling stronger than ever. I’ve so much more confidence in my ability now and I owe that to Lyga. She has been very supportive and takes the time to get to know you and what your goals are, and never makes you feel under pressure.
But mostly importantly, she’s an all round lovely person who knows how to have a good laugh! I look forward to our future sessions and the continued progress we will make together.

As someone who had never worked with a personal trainer before, I was unsure of what to expect and how long it would take to see results. Initially, I decided to test the waters with your 10-session package. However, I'm delighted to admit that we're already on our third package, and I am positively surprised by the progress I've made. The pace at which I am progressing far exceeds my initial expectations. And I especially appreciate your determination to push me beyond my limits.
One aspect that sets you apart is your ability to make me feel comfortable, despite being a complete beginner. Your advice on nutrition, such as increasing protein intake, having some carbs before workouts has been invaluable. Moreover, your emphasis on enjoying life and the journey of working out rather than obsessing over unrealistic goals has made a significant impact on my mindset.
I'm proud to say that our mission to bring definition to my upper body has been accomplished, and I know it can only get better from here. The physical transformation I've experienced has not only boosted my confidence in the gym but also extended to other areas of my life.
Lastly, I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for you as a person and a trainer. Your personality and enthusiasm shine through in every training session, and it makes a world of difference. Thank you for being you and for infusing so much passion into our workouts.
I look forward to our future sessions and the continued progress we will make together. You have truly made a positive impact on my life.

I’ve been doing online coaching with Lyga for six months now and the results I’ve seen not only in terms of physical health but also mental calm, discipline and consistency have been phenomenal. She has also really helped my relationship with food and helped me try to break away from body-image issues & body dysmorphia. She’s a true example of work on your strength, both body & mind, and the rest will follow. While we’re half way across the world, Lyga keeps a tab on my workouts and form (videos I send her) and gives me suggestions and corrections, she also takes my knee injuries into account and provides the best exercises while being cautious of my knees. To say Lyga has been life-changing might sound like an exaggeration, but actually is an understatement. I would recommend her to everyone, in fact I’m constantly recommending her to my friends & family! Thank you Lyga for everything!

Lyga is an amazing PT! She works well with your goals and has good knowledge in everything she does.

Lyga is an amazing PT and has been very considerate of my disability, my fitness goals and is supporting me to focus on training for good health as the initial goal before looking at aesthetics. It is exactly what I needed.
