Ingrid Barclay | Personal Trainer & Strength Coach

Ingrid Barclay is a truly outstanding strength coach and personal trainer. Not only has she helped me achieve incredible physical results, but she has also played a crucial role in my personal development. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience and truly cares about her clients' well-being. She has helped me not only with physical changes but also with emotional and behavioral ones. Her professional work ethic and friendly attitude create a motivating and safe environment. She encourages positive self-talk and builds from the inside-out to reach goals. I can confidently say that Ingrid has played a significant role in improving my overall quality of life. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their fitness and overall well-being.

I signed up for Ingrid's 16 week 'Body Recomposition Package' early this year (2023), and I am so glad I did. I didn't know Ingrid before signing up, but had seen all her amazing testimonials, reviews, and results with her online portfolio and decided to take the plunge! Ing has been amazing, and worth every cent. I've been training with her in-person, three times a week for this package, and have already had so many results - having lost over 100ml of body fat, put on lean muscle and lost nearly 10kg, all whilst building a more lean and toned shape. I wasn't heavily overweight before signing up, but after having two young kids and turning 40, I wanted to prove to myself that I still had enough discipline and determination to do what it takes to see results, and feel confident and happy in myself again. No more excuses.Ing's approach to nutrition, exercises, techniques and form are top of the game. She hasn't achieved international success for herself and her clients by a fluke, she really knows her stuff. She is incredibly knowledgeable about correcting your form, and safe lifting is just one of her many strengths. She has over 36 years experience in the fitness industry and thousands of success stories and is brilliant at tailoring nutrition and exercise plans to suit your individual needs. Ing is a wealth of knowledge, and she really cares for her clients like family. She is brilliant at helping with emotional eating, and helping individuals believe in themselves. If you are wondering if Ing is worth it, she definitely is, and if you have access to her, you should definitely sign up for her programs. I am about to embark on her 'All Figured Out' program next, and I have absolutely no doubt, that I will be in the best shape of my life after the next 20 weeks, and also be able to maintain this healthier new lifestyle, as Ing is very big on maintenance and staying strong and healthy, not just for a one-time-fix. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Ing, and consider her to be an amazing coach and PT.

Wow, what can I say about Ingrid and her Fitness coaching?....UNBELIEVABLE.I first came to Ingrid as an experienced personal trainer wanting to compete and do a bodybuilding show. I had never gotten properly lean before and really wanted to give it a proper crack.Ingrid was suggested to me by a friend and I am so glad we were able to work together. I got in the shape of my LIFE, and completed a lifetime goal of mine.... despite how hard it was and despite wanting to quit several times haha.Ingrid is extremely passionate and knowledgable about her craft. Her university degrees, combined with anecdotal and personal experience make her the complete fitness professional.Ingrid walks the walk - still lifting well over 200KG+ and showing young men and women how it is done!Thanks for the amazing experience Ingrid :)

I have trained with Ingrid for a couple of years now. I have completed one challenge, currently doing another year long one for body recomposition and have done my first powerlifting competition. Ingrid has taught me a lot about how to make food fast, delicious and nutritious. She has also taught me so much about lifting technique after weight training for years and never really been shown right. She is very supportive of me as a client and is encouraging and inspiring. I highly recommend her if you would like a knowledgeable coach who is a wealth of good information.

Working with Ingrid is like nothing you have ever tried before.If you're tired of the 'yo-yo' diet phase and you are ready to show up and own up to what's holding you back Ingrid will provide you with a safe space to make lasting change. She will work closely with you to design the right plan 'for you' and curiously provide support for you to reach both your physical and emotional goals to overcome those self-sabotaging habits that keep us on that merry-go-round.When you work with Ing you're not working with just a PT you're working with a truly authentic human being who only wants the best outcome for you, you just have to be willing to put in the work!

I started with Ingrid in April 2023 in the 16-week body transformation program. As a regular gym 'goer' I wasn't seeing results and felt I needed a healthier lifestyle change and someone that could push me beyond what I knew...Ingrid Barclay was a great coach for me!!From the get-go Ingrid provided me with some great online resources (that she created) to get me started on the basics.She has a wealth of knowledge and experience in all fields related to fitness, nutrition, wellbeing plus much more. She brings this knowledge and passion into every encounter.She is very patient, supportive and encouraging no matter your skill level or ability. She knows exactly how to challenge you that little bit further.I would definitely recommend Ingrid to anyone looking to improve their health, fitness, looking for that challenge and drive to make a consistent lifestyle change.

I have trained with ingrid off and on for almost 10 years. I can't recommend her highly enough. Ingrid is friendly, passionate and one of the smartest coaches out there. She teaches you how to train and get the best out of yourself. My strength and lifts improved in a few short months so much so we competed in Power Lifting comps. If competiting is what you are after Ingrid prepares you thoroughly, including what acessories you'll need, all the rules, preparing your lifts so your don't fall apart should you receive a red light. Ingrid shares her knowledge with her clients, so you come away from every training session educated in health and fitness. She's a five star coach.

Really impressed with the progress made during my time with Ingrid. She would have to be the oracle of strength training. Her knowledge and dedication to her chosen profession is second to none. Couple that with the passion and care she shows for her clients and you have a recipe for great results in a friendly environment.

I can’t recommend Ingrid highly enough, in just a few short months my results have been amazing. Ingrid is extremely knowledgeable and genuinely cares about her clients. I walk out of every session learning something new, feeling stronger and a positive mindset.I have spent most of my adult life spinning my wheels and making no progress and this experience with Ingrid has changed all of that.

I've worked with Ingrid for a number of years and I just can't think of anyone more knowledgable, experienced and passionate about body recomposition, lifestyle transformation, strength training, bodybuilding and fitness coaching. She walks the talk and genuinely cares not just about the body she's coaching, but the person she's coaching. She is a very honest and open coach, and is able to connect and inspire her clients unlike anyone I've seen. She is driven by achieving long-term change. I can't recommend Ingrid enough.
