Meet The Trainers
Meet the team behind Hannah Martin Personal Training. Our Hackney-based trainers are united by one philosophy: creating a safe, inclusive space where everyone feels supported to push beyond their comfort zone - whether you're returning from injury or building strength for the things you love.
Hannah
Founder & Personal Trainer
With extensive resistance training experience and multiple marathons completed, Hannah combines personal insight with professional expertise in her coaching.
As well as being a qualified run coach, her approach blends calisthenics with traditional strength training to target specific muscle groups, alongside mobility work to improve range of motion, support lifting performance, and promote long-term joint health. Outside of the gym, she enjoys getting out in nature - whether on foot with her dog Piglet or on her bike.
Having previously worked in a demanding desk-based role, Hannah understands how challenging it can be to prioritise fitness in a busy lifestyle. She focuses on well-rounded, realistic programming that builds everyday strength, resilience, and the capacity to handle whatever life throws your way.
Hannah especially enjoys working with beginners, helping them see how even one strength session per week can deliver meaningful results and transform how they feel in their bodies. She believes the gym is a space for everyone and shouldn’t feel intimidating when supported by the right structure and guidance.
Louise
Personal Trainer
Louise is a triathlon coach and personal trainer who believes in working smarter, not harder. With 15 years of running, 10 years of weight training, and 5 years competing as an age group triathlete for Team GB, she knows that the best results come from systematic, science-based training that fits into real life.
Louise is particularly passionate about introducing women to weight training and helping clients achieve their body composition goals. Having started lifting at 18 when she was often the only woman in the gym, she understands the intimidation factor and loves building confidence through proper technique and progressive training. Combined with her nutrition expertise, she specialises in helping people get stronger while achieving the physique they want.
When she's not coaching, Louise is a proper foodie who loves experimenting with new recipes, checking out electronic music gigs around London, and planning her next travel adventure.
Liz
Personal Trainer
Liz is a Sports Science graduate and certified personal trainer with over 15 years of experience coaching a diverse range of clients - from elite athletes to busy parents balancing demanding lives.
With a background in massage therapy and corporate wellbeing, she brings a well-rounded understanding of the body, recovery, and the impact of stress.
Her experience includes supporting world-class teams such as the New Zealand All Blacks and the South Africa national rugby union team, alongside hundreds of professionals in high-pressure work environments.
As a former athlete who has competed in athletics, hockey, and CrossFit, Liz understands firsthand the challenges of performance, injury, and recovery - and uses that insight to better support her clients.
What began as a passion for helping people move better has evolved into a mission: to help individuals understand their bodies and minds, build resilience, and feel at their very best.
Piglet
Studio Supervisor
Piglet takes her role very seriously - mostly from a horizontal position in the corner of the studio.
As our resident Studio Supervisor, her duties include quality-checking the yoga mats, providing moral support during tough sets, and the occasional lap around the studio when she decides she needs more attention.
She isn't in the studio everyday, but when she is she's usually pretty low-key. However, if you'd rather train in a dog-free space, just let us know during your consultation call and this is something we can discuss further.
