Testimonials

 

I love Gemma’s Pilates classes, they’ve been great at getting me back into exercising after having three kids. Just having an hour focusing on myself each week has been invaluable, and Gemma’s classes are friendly and inclusive. Through her coaching, she gives lots of options so you can work to your ability, and she gently challenges you to go further. Definitely recommended.

 


My testimonial: I began having regular personal training sessions with Gemma in September 2020. I felt that I was ready to find a better, healthier, and more long-term solution to managing a chronic musculoskeletal condition called Scheuermann’s Kyphosis. I have had this condition since the age of 11 years, which meant exercise and fitness had always been a huge challenge for me. I was very injury prone and had poor self-esteem and negative body image about my looks and posture. I have had personal trainers in the past who have not fully understood my condition and how some forms of exercise can cause flare-ups of inflammation and pain, which aggravated my condition further. However, when I read Gemma’s personal training bio, I felt that her qualifications, training, and experience made her the right person to support me on this journey to improve my health and fitness. Since working with Gemma, I have seen a gradual, but drastic change in my body, which has resulted in much better posture and body alignment. I am a lot stronger and fitter, have better balance, coordination and mobility and have fewer occurrences of pain and inflammation. Most importantly, I feel a lot happier with the way I look and have found my ‘happy place’ in strength and resistance training and Pilates. The personal training sessions are always challenging and enjoyable and fully accommodate my body’s capabilities. I feel much more connected to my body and aware of its strengths and limitations. I have also noticed the positive impact the personal training sessions have had on my mental health and wellbeing. This would have been a much harder journey without Gemma’s expertise, care and encouragement, for which I am truly thankful for. It really has been life changing. I would highly recommend Gemma to anybody looking for a personal trainer who is supportive and dedicated to helping you reach your goals, regardless of your level of fitness.


I have been doing Pilates with Gemma for about 2 years. What a brilliant teacher. I have got so much stronger especially my abs. Gemma always gives alternatives if need. I can recommend Gemma enough. Nothing is impossible if Gemma is teaching you.
