Testimonials

Phillippa is a brilliant trainer. She strikes the perfect balance between building my confidence and challenging me to improve. Philippa's group sessions are really inclusive, she somehow manages to give everyone individual attention and  feedback, every time. Her enthusiasm for fitness is infectious. And her warmth and humour make every session really fun. I've trained with Phillippa for two years, during which time I had my second baby. I'm in the best shape I've ever been and feel stronger than ever! - Jenny

I am now almost 78 years old. I have never been a gym bunny. At the start of lockdown, I was at least 2 stones over weight. These sessions are effective.. I am now 1 stone lighter! My three daughters for Mother’s Day gave me a suspension trainer and PT from Phillippa. The Zoom sessions are fantastic. Phillippa explains the purpose of each exercise… I love the anatomy lessons. My individual needs are carefully monitored, even in a group setting. If I'm not sure of exact positioning/comfort, I ask and I know as a result I'm exercising correctly. There is no feeling of comparison with other participants and the company is good. I really enjoy these classes. Let’s face it—if it works for me, it will work for anyone. - Carol

That was ace, thanks love. Heart racing. I was full on panting - Katie

Love these classes! I run, bike surf etc but am rubbish at doing the weight stuff. Used to do Pilates but my work schedule doesn’t allow it anymore. Thank you so much!  - Caroline

The class this morning was great! Let me know if you get another one set up for Wednesdays that's later than 7.30 am! Please count me in for next Saturday morning. - Felicity
