Meet The Team
CEO & Personal Trainer
Amy Pope
Hi guys I am Amy,
I am 32 and from Cheltenham! I love climbing mountains, gardening, cooking and I recently started playing golf!
In January 2015 I became a single parent, my daughter was 6 months at the time, I weighed around 20 stone, I was suffering from depression and anxiety which I was struggling to manage. I desperately needed to turn my life around and didn't know where to start.
Through weight training, eating right, working hard and sheer determination I have dropped 4 dress sizes and dramatically improved my physical and mental health.
In August 2017 I set up Aptitude Fitness and have helped hundreds of women on their fitness journey. I train women of all shapes and sizes, all fitness levels, able bodied and those that may require additional physical support .
I am passionate about building fitness into a healthy, sustainable lifestyle and understand the impact on your confidence and mental health.
Personal training slots with Amy are limited to day time at present and available to book.
Personal Trainer and Empowered Coach
Sophie Peel
Hello, Sophie here!
I am a personal trainer and nutritional adviser from London, I have been based in Gloucestershire for the last 9 years.
My fitness career started as a competitive athlete. From National gymnast, to International Rugby player to horse rider. I have done it all! My passion for coaching came a little later in life as I was no longer a competitive athlete myself I became invested on helping others instead.
I have now been a trainer for 6 years and along the way have trained a wide variety of people. My clients needs have ranged from: weight loss, joint replacement rehab, sport specific fitness and muscle building/ strength development.
I have a true passion for helping people achieve their health and fitness goals. With my own training I change my approach frequently, ranging from running/hiking to body building, calisthenics and power lifting.
Personal training slots are available to book with Sophie

HR and Operations Manager
Vicky Weaver
Hi everyone,
I'm Vicky and I love admin just as much as I now enjoy fitness - you will most likely see me around the place with my clipboard and pen!
I started my Aptitude Fitness journey in September 2017 as one of Amy's very first clients. Since then, I have done both personal training and classes with Aptitude Fitness and feel well and truly part of the family and I am lucky to have seen it grow.
My role within AF is to do all the 'boring' admin stuff that no one else wants to do- but that's ok because I secretly love it!
