PERSONAL TRAINING CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

"Having recently overcome some health problems I decided it was time to start getting fit again.  It no longer suits my lifestyle to spend hours in the gym so enter Sue!  I cannot believe the difference having Sue makes, she is a relentless task master behind that sweet smile and always seems to know just how hard to push you.  I am extremely impressed with her service and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of personal training."

DD, Gosforth

"In just four weeks and with a few simple changes to my diet and lifestyle Sue has helped me feel so much better about myself.  I've got my energy back, I'm fitter, I've lost around 8lbs in weight together with several inches and I'm wearing clothes that haven't seen the light of day for many a long month.  I don't know why I waited so long, and I really can't thank her enough for her help."

J Brammer, 48

“I’ve been working with Sue for a while now and my body shape has changed beyond recognition and whilst I have reached the goal I set out to achieve, I continue to work with Sue as she keeps me challenged, focussed and motivated.  Our relationship has developed (which is so easy to do with Sue as she is so empathic) and this provides an added dimension to the overall package, extending beyond fitness to include lifestyle issues, diet and nutrition.  I would highly recommend her, particularly if you need/like challenge and fun.”

PM, Heaton

"I am a large lady who has never enjoyed exercise.  When Sue was recommended to me, after I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression, I was very apprehensive.  Eventually, I summoned up the courage and contacted her. I have never regretted it.  Sue has a way of making you feel good and is always encouraging, no matter what you are able to do. I now exercise twice a week with Sue and really enjoy it.  She has a way of making exercise fun and has helped me feel better in general. Thank you Sue for all your help - you have made a big difference."

RJ, 52

"As a person who has had a weight problem all her life exercise had always been a chore until Sue was recommended to me by a client.  She has put the enjoyment back into exercise and now I'm hooked! Sue has been working with me for a long time now and for me feeling good is just as important as looking good."

Corporate Lunchtime Bootcamps

"The bootcamps are great fun, challenging, and most importantly, very effective.  Sue recognises the varied abilities and fitness levels  within the Group and introduces exercises we can all practice at home or in the gym.  Sue is an excellent motivator and we all benefit from the sessions."

On-site Personal Fitness Training & Lifestyle Assessments

"Following the personal training sessions you carried out for our gym members, and on behalf of the Gym Committee, I would like to thank you for the professional and friendly manner in which you carried out these sessions and offered advice.

We asked for very specific times for the training so that there was minimal disruption to the business and you were able to be flexible with appointments.  Your offer to our gym members proved very popular.  I know that you received personal thanks from our members - all were positive and found the sessions very useful to help them maximise their own gym time.  It clarified what they should be doing to help with individual conditions and they felt very comfortable with your style of offering, knowledgeable guidance and support.

I would like to say that I would have no hesitation in recommending your services to others and that we shall look forward to seeing you again."

Lifestyle & Stress Management Workshops

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your professional advice on nutrition, exercise and your in-depth knowledge of ways in which staff can improve their general standard of health.  Working in the hospitality industry can, at times, be very demanding and staff are often under extreme pressure.  I really feel that the stress management training will be of great help to all employees and will also allow them to 'see the wood for the trees' which at times they are unable to do.  I am pleased to say that we all felt we greatly benefited from this fantastic training day and we would have no hesitation in recommending your business to others."  HR Manager

Weekly Employee Sports Massage Clinic

"I have now had several sports massage sessions with Sue. As is the case for lots of people who use a PC on a daily basis, I had a persistently sore arm, and occasional tingling in my arm and hand. At the first session, Sue was very persistent with the huge lump of knotted muscle in my shoulder. The following day it was very tender, but felt much looser. The day after it was amazing. My shoulders and arm were more comfortable and I also felt as though my posture had improved. In terms of work, I seriously think that this service should be available all the time, and would encourage anyone experiencing discomfort to go now! Because of the massage I have avoided taking time off work to see the doctor and I am sure that it has prevented the onset of RSI."

"I just wanted to thank you for your continued help with the back problem I have.  I have now had 4 massage sessions and can honestly state that my body and mind feel much better. I have recently attended hospital for my back problem to no avail, yet a few sessions with yourself has had a dramatic effect on my movement, and pain relief.  Although I still suffer from a back problem I find that I can get through the day/week with your help, and I look forward to my weekly visits knowing that when I have had my massage I feel 100% better than I do before I visit. This is a valued service and the cost is minimal for the benefits I receive."

"I broke my ankle a couple of years ago and without any physio follow up I ended up with severely restricted movement in my ankle joint, a swollen  ankle, a limp which was getting worse by the month and the beginnings of hip pain due to over compensating for a funny gait I had developed.  When I signed up for massage with Sue through the Council Wellbeing Programme I wasn’t sure what to expect but it was so effective I was amazed. Sue massaged and manipulated my ankle giving attention to scar tissue, swelling and strength and movement in the ankle itself.  I walked out of there and felt like my ankle was bending far more flexibly than it had since before the accident and I could walk far more normally. I thought this would be short lived but it was the same the next day and the day after. This was confirmed when the physiotherapist I had engaged a couple of weeks previous to starting the massage said in my second appointment with him that my ankle had improved tremendously since the first assessment he had done at our first meeting and he was really surprised at the dramatic scale of improvement!  This is a win win all round – Sue is working effectively with people who need it, I can walk pain free again and the Council is getting the most of being a proactive employer looking after its employees."
