Hey, I’m Holly!

Welcome to One Life Health & Fitness, I am so happy you’re here! I founded One Life in March 2021 after seeing so many women struggling with their health, fitness, mindset, confidence and body image for years throughout my life.

After working in the fitness industry as a hobby for 5 years prior to the pandemic, I decided to leave the corporate world and retrain as a Personal Trainer to help women change their lives, finding their happiness and getting their sparkle back.

My Why

Throughout my life I’ve been exposed to the best and worst sides of health and fitness. I have seen and felt the huge benefits, and I have also lived with a few of the negative side effects from the huge social pressures to look good. After trying so many different ways to fit health and fitness into my busy life working a stressful corporate job in London, I finally found my peace, not only with myself, but also with a happy, healthy and sustainable lifestyle. I found balance in my career, social life and events, and feeling the best version of myself. I want to help other women reach that place, and feel free.

My story

I grew up surrounded by diet culture. My mum and my friends mums’ were always in and out of new diets, discussing the latest juice cleanse and going to weekly slimming club meetings. As a teenage girl, I thought this was normal.

As I grew older and went to university, I discovered my own challenges with body image after being sucked into a life of binge drinking, fast food and very little healthy movement.

After university, I found myself working full time in Public Relations and Marketing and surrounded by people who were obsessed with the gym and meal prep. I did a 360, training twice a day with endless cardio and living off cous-cous. I lost 3 stone and got a six pack, but I was living with body dysmorphia and was deeply unhappy in my skin.

Work took me to the ‘big smoke’ in a promotion, and I started living the epitome of the once sought after ‘London life’, working 10+ hour days and partying 4 nights a week. Life was full on, busy, tiring, lonely, but what I thought was again, normal.

During my time in London, I knew I needed to start exercising again, but in a healthy way and joined my local gym in Clapham. I fell in love with Les Mills classes and a year later my favourite instructor asked me if I’d ever considered becoming an instructor too… the rest is history!

Ultimately, fitness has changed my life in so many ways, but mainly increased my confidence, self-worth, self-belief and my zest for life. I wouldn’t be a successful business owner with freedom and confidence in life to achieve great things without it. I want to share that feeling with as many women as I can, who are seeking more from life.

We are here for you, we have been there and we understand how frustrating it can feel.

What our clients say

Claire Szarowicz

I’ve lost weight, nearly at my original target weight. I’ve run my first ever 10km and signed up for a second one. I’m generally happier and have more energy for my kids, which I know would not have been the case if I’d have done a ‘diet’!! 100% do it!! You won’t regret it.
Danielle Ashby

Do not underestimate your ability to succeed with Megan and Holly! Whatever your goal is, it’s achievable. Don’t wait! Invest in you, because you will never regret putting you first.
Larry Luckett

Well it’s only been 5 weeks but already I have built confidence in the gym, ran my first ever London running event where I ran 10km non stop with hardly any training, met like minded individuals through the one life community and built healthier habits around calories and the effects they have on my strength in the gym. It’s life changing, invest in yourself.
