About
Top to Toe Fitness

Top to Toe Fitness was founded on a straightforward belief: that good coaching, genuine community and an enjoyable training environment produce better results than any programme or piece of equipment alone.

Based at Macknade Food Village in Faversham, Top to Toe Fitness works with real people at every starting point — helping them get stronger, fitter and more confident through personal training and small group classes. The focus is always on sustainable progress, not short-term fixes.

Coaching hundreds of people over more than a decade has shaped everything about how Top to Toe Fitness operates. No two people train for the same reason, and no two people need the same approach. That's reflected in the coaching, the classes and the culture of the gym.

Charlotte

I've been coaching since 2011, starting out as a personal trainer in the Middle East before returning to the UK and building my own business from the ground up.

Over fifteen years and hundreds of clients, I've learned that good coaching has to be personal. Not everyone needs the same thing — sometimes that's encouragement, sometimes a push, sometimes just someone in your corner helping you keep going.

I moved to Faversham in 2021 and launched Top to Toe Fitness because I wanted to build something that reflected that: a space where people genuinely enjoy training and feel part of a community, whatever their starting point.

Jo

Joanna came to personal training in 2022, driven by a lifelong passion for fitness and strength. Growing up as a dancer and swimmer, she developed an early appreciation for what the body is capable of — and a deep understanding of how exercise shapes confidence and mental well-being, not just physical fitness.

Her sessions draw on that breadth: expect strength work, high-energy circuits and mobility training, tailored to where you are and where you want to get to.

Joanna holds a Level 3 Personal Training qualification and a Level 4 certification in Sports Massage Therapy. She is CIMSPA registered, with additional credentials in Pre & Post Natal Exercise, Exercise for Older Adults, Kettlebells, TRX Suspension Training and HIIT. She is also First Aid qualified and currently training in Exercise Referral to better support clients with specific health needs.

Abi

Abi started at Top to Toe two years ago as a client, so she knows exactly what it feels like to walk through the door for the first time. That experience shapes everything about how she coaches — her sessions are energetic, fun and designed to make sure you leave knowing you've worked hard.

She's passionate about building an environment where everyone feels motivated and supported, whatever their starting point.

Abi coaches JiiT and LiFT classes and is also available for personal training.

Amy

Amy spent twenty years as a professional contemporary dancer, performing and training dancers across the world. That background means strength and flexibility have always been central to how she trains and how she coaches — over two decades she's developed a deep understanding of how to build real strength, speed, flexibility and coordination.

A qualified yoga teacher with a BA and MA in Dance, Amy is currently training in Osteopathy — a continuation of her interest in how the body actually works. Helping people understand their own body mechanics and move well for the long term is central to how she teaches.

Her classes are built to challenge you, with plenty of room to enjoy the process and the people you're training alongside.
