Hilary Spearing, who runs the Functional Fitness Studio on Cryers Hill, was recognised by the NFA for her hard work over the last 12 months, as she was nominated for the Gym-based Personal Trainer Award, along with the Functional Training Gym of the Year award in the 2024 edition. She managed to claim the former at the lavish ceremony at the Athena Events Hall in Leicester on November 29 last year, four days after her birthday. Now, she is hoping to reclaim her crown in this year’s edition of the competition after being shortlisted for the Personal Trainer of the Year category. Other Buckinghamshire gyms/PTs that have been shortlisted include Titans Gym in High Wycombe for the Strength Training Gym of the Year award, and the Functional Fitness Studio in Princes Risborough. The latter is up for the Functional Training Gym of the Year prize.
