Tilly Dunk

I’m a Personal Trainer on a mission to strip the guilt out of exercise. Following a decade in the fast-paced Film & TV industry, I now help men and women around London and Kent use movement as a tool for strength, calm, and confidence rather than just aesthetics. For me, it’s not about the six-pack; it’s about a sustainable life well-lived.

  • Training with Tilly has been one of the best decisions I've made. She's funny, engaging, and brings great energy to every session, making even the toughest workouts enjoyable. She knows exactly when to be firm and always motivates you to push yourself without ever being overbearing. Thanks to her encouragement and expertise, I've stayed consistent and achieved results I didn't think were possible. I would highly recommend Tilly to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely motivating personal trainer.

  • I can’t recommend Tilly enough. She’s not only a brilliant personal trainer, but also someone who genuinely cares about helping you feel confident and capable. Since training with her, I’ve become so much more comfortable in the gym after quite a long time of sticking to my comfort zone of running, and I’ve seen a huge improvement in my strength. She has a great way of pushing you while still making every session super fun and supportive. If you’re looking for someone who will help you grow in confidence as well as fitness, Tilly is your gal!

  • I had such a positive experience training with Tilly. I was really nervous before my first session, but she immediately put me at ease with her friendly and supportive approach. She took the time to explain everything clearly, made sure I was comfortable with each exercise, and encouraged me throughout without making me feel pressured. The session was challenging in the best way, and I left feeling much more confident than when I arrived. Tilly is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cares about helping you achieve your goals. I would highly recommend her to anyone, especially if you’re feeling anxious or new to the gym. She creates such a welcoming environment, and I’m already looking forward to my next session

  • Tilly was fun, and encouraging throughout the session! She was knowledgeable and brought calm as a safe & relaxing presence to be around. Tilly seemed to genuinely understand how to give me coaching cues which helped me find my form and posture. Her energy kept my levels high throughout and pushed me to do my best.
