Give Me Strength

How I Turned My Back on Restriction, Nurtured the Body I Love, and How You Can Too





Part-memoir, part-guide, the UK’s top personal trainer shares her battle with eating disorders and body image, offering solidarity, hope and guidance to help others avoid taking the same path

In 2017 Alice had over half a million followers on Instagram, she had celebrity PT clients, appeared on the cover of Women’s Health magazine, and even achieved her third Sunday Times bestseller. She was celebrated as the embodiment of health, but that was the furthest thing from the truth.

Now, having recovered from her disordered approach to food and fitness, Alice tells the intimate story of what led to her darkest moments of restriction, the ultimatum that forced her to change, and how she overcame those demons using her four pillars of fitness: Why, What, When and How, which teach us to move based on how you feel rather than how you look.

This is a vital, powerful and life-affirming book for any women who has struggled with their body image and wants to feel happy and confident in their own skin.

Such an honest and inspiring book

Leanne Hainsby

Alice candidly reflects on her journey and imparts a valuable lesson: there is no universal solution. Rather, we must take an individualised approach, recognizing that what works for one may not work for another
