Wendy Oliver

Wendy opened in touch studios in September 2010.  She believes that the health & fitness industry has lost its direction by becoming a machine for financial gain, caring less for how people exercise to the point where individual’s exercise programmes may be doing them more harm than good.

Having spent many of her professional years working alongside physiotherapists, chiropractors, osteopaths and orthopaedic surgeons, Wendy has achieved a full understanding of working with injury rehabilitation and specific strength & conditioning training.  Before opening in touch studios, Wendy worked hard to establish a high-standard mobile personal training service in and around Bristol.

“I am extremely passionate about the human body and find it incredible how the health and fitness industry influences our habits, beliefs and lifestyles physically and mentally.  Large health clubs have a function but I believe for many people they misguide and mislead, often resulting in personal goals not being achieved.  There is so much more to health and fitness than hours of ‘endurance’ on machines that restrict our body of movement.  Its important for us to understand how our bodies should and like to move.  We are all different, and this is what I aspire to help people achieve."

When Wendy is not working she loves to train, her sport is triathlon and its components, she also enjoys socialising with family and friends and travelling!  “The world is there to be seen, I believe that there is so much to learn from the way others live, and to savor the beauty of what we don’t have around us everyday”.

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” (Maya Angelou)
