BBC Radio Scotland - Personal Best, Learning to Jump Again

Rachel Davis talks about how a personal trainer transformed her life after an accident.

Gillian Russell joins Rachel Davis at the gym to discover how personal trainer Tom Ashmole helped transform her life following an accident.

"I want to be able to jump again". "Ok, we can do that".

For most people who use a personal trainer, they become a mentor, a motivational buddy ... someone trusted to kick-start or maintain our fitness and to help us become our personal best. The relationship between personal trainer and client is an interesting one, based on hard work, trust and perhaps even friendship. But when Rachel Davis met her personal trainer, she had no idea how much of an impact he was going to have on her life.

Gillian Russell joins Rachel and her personal trainer Tom Ashmole on a training session at the gym to discover how well they work together, the exercises Tom has got Rachel doing, the dynamics of their relationship and just how far Rachel has come on her journey from wheelchair user to committed gym fan.
