Bel Levene Sports Massage Therapist and rehabilitation specialist

I feel privileged to write and forward a testimonial for Bel Levene.

I have personally known Bel from the first time she attended my training sessions for middle/long distance running at Woking Athletics Club. From the outset, Bel became a very dedicated and committed athlete, who was always in pursuit of getting the best out of herself. She eventually achieved a range of 36.59 for 10k to 2hr 53.01 at the London Marathon. Bel’s ambition is to go still faster over the marathon distance.

It is the kind of attributes that Bel has shown – determination, dedication and commitment – that underline her wider abilities. Having worked as a personal fitness trainer, but also continuing to pursue further education and knowledge, she has gained excellent qualifications. Bel is a qualified advanced personal trainer, a sports massage and holistic massage therapist. She has qualifications in circuit training and dietary needs in sports performance. Bel had recently gained a honours degree in Sports Psychology, allowing her membership of The British Psychology Society.

Bel’s new venture as a sports therapist, with the depth of knowledge and expertise she has gained over the years, will prove a great asset to add to the already huge success at David Lloyd, giving the members an opportunity to benefit from.

Former BAF Middle Distance Coach

I have been an elite runner for many years with the highlights of my career being finishing in the top 20 in the London Marathon, representing Great Britain on the road in the marathon at the European Championships, on cross country at the World Cross Country Championships and representing England on the track in the Commonwealth Games.

As you might imagine during my long running career I have had treatment from a number of sports massage therapists and physiotherapists. I would class Bel as one of the best. She has great knowledge of muscles and tendons both theoretically but more importantly in practice and, for me, her assessment and treatment has been both extremely thorough and effective. I would highly recommend seeing Bel whether it be for a specific issue or regular massage to keep running.

I went to Bel with a knee injury that had been affecting my running for some time. She was quick to identify the issue and what was causing it. She comes across as knowledgeable and professional in her work, however, she still comes across as very friendly. Within a matter of weeks I was back running thanks to Bel.

Ben Robertson

I originally consulted Bel to help with consistent pain in my lower back and it was very satisfying that after only a few sessions I saw a significant improvement and my back is much better today and I continue to see Bel on a weekly basis to keep it that way. Bel is very calming and has an immensely positive attitude and is exceptionally talented and offers very good post treatment advice. The sessions are also very relaxing and Bel is easy to communicate with and makes you feel very comfortable and has especially done so during the Covid-19 pandemic. I can without hesitation highly recommend Bel.
