No More Excuses was founded in 2002 by Wendy Powell (Dip PT). As well as being highly qualified & experienced in all areas of fitness instruction, Wendy has specialist interest & skills in exercise prescription & nutrition for pregnant & postnatal women. She has undergone extensive further training & has trained dozens of satisfied clients (see It Worked For Me).
Wendy is mother to Ava, born October 2005, & Stanley, born July 2007, & so understands first-hand the reality of combining fitness with pregnancy & child- care! She is committed to updating her own, & all our trainers’, health & fitness knowledge – by providing ongoing further study so that our clients receive the most up-to-date & effective techniques & advice available. Wendy regularly provides expert advice & contributions to bodies such as the National Childbirth Trust & the Federation of Antenatal Educators. She is always delighted to answer any specific questions, & can also offer training, seminars or editorial contributions where appropriate. To find out more or to book Wendy, contact us.
To ensure clients’ peace of mind, safety & reassurance, Wendy & NME are setting the standard in this specialist area of fitness instruction. We carry out CRB checks on all our trainers, provide a child protection policy, full insurance & registration with a number of industry bodies (see our Credentials & Qualifications).
