What people are saying about PT and my classes…
“If you’re looking for someone to champion you back into fitness then Ginny really is your woman!
I used to be reasonably fit (or at least quite happy with where I was) but all of a sudden 15 years have passed, I’m mid 50’s and wondering what happened.
Over the years I tried going back to the gym, but I found it a chore and my motivation soon diminished. The round trip didn’t fit easily into my work pattern, plus I found it difficult to get good advice and support. I tried online classes – this was more time efficient but still not quite my thing.
I was pretty unfit, a bit creaky and the other side of breast cancer treatment. I needed to find a solution that worked better for me, where I could start slowly and build up strength so that I didn’t aggravate shoulder and neck problems with excessive weights.
From the first session Ginny was brilliant – we discussed my goals, she listened to my concerns and assessed my current situation. I came away with a workout that I felt was really tailored to my needs, and a confidence that I could build on this over time. A few months in and there is no question I have made significant progress and feel better for it.
Plus, if there is an exercise that for some reason doesn’t seem to suit me so well, Ginny will find an appropriate alternative – now that impressed me. It doesn’t matter where you are starting from, Ginny is enthusiastic, motivating, and wants you to succeed. She is definitely in my corner and (gently) pushes me forwards at each session. If you have read anything else on this website about Ginny you will hear time and again that she is a lot of fun to work with. It is absolutely true. I already knew that Ginny was fun to be around, but I wanted to write this review to tell you how knowledgeable and very, very professional she is as well.
If you are considering PT with Ginny, I’d say don’t hesitate!”
“I feel stronger, fitter and healthier after each Fitness Pilates Class. Ginny has a natural aptitude towards teaching fitness and inspires me to want to be my best self whilst having a lot of fun! Both my body & mind unwind & are freer after every session – thank you.
You truly are awesome & have definitely found your calling in life – I mean that sincerely. xx”
“I love Ginny’s classes…they are always upbeat and fun yet challenging giving me the complete workout I need. I highly recommend these.”
“I get everything thing I need from your online classes. I love all the workouts, love the balance of energetic days and stretch days, also the flexibility of catching up when I have time. I just need more hours in my day!”
“Ginny is a super star fitness trainer. I have been training with her for over 10 years now and she is always enthusiastic, inspiring and motivating. She knows her clients inside out, has a wonderful sense of humour so all of her classes are full of fun and laughs plus the results are great! Give her classes a go you won’t regret it. xxx”
“Unfortunately, I developed a hernia in the incision I received after a laparotomy for a bowel problem. I was advised that ‘muscle strengthening’ exercise would help. Ginny took me on in a series of weekly on-line sessions after careful consultation on her part. She is unfailingly cheerful as well as very thorough in her training and analysis of my actions. The results are already noticeable in my core strength, balance, and flexibility – I am 79 and reasonably fit from walking etc., but Ginnie has made great improvements. As I said, the sessions are always fun, and her encouragement works wonders. I am so glad that we work together. Thanks Ginny.”
“Ginny has been my PT for 3 years during which time I have improved my cardio and strength greatly. She ensures each session is challenging & motivational by including relevant exercises to keep me both strong and flexible. This enables me to continue with my club rowing sport activities. Each session is a combination of warm up and down , heavy weights and cardio in her exceptionally well equipped gym. Ginny has been key to my progress through my fitness journey and I would recommend her wholeheartedly.”
“Ginny is an absolute gem! Her instructions are clear, workouts are varied and challenging (without being impossible!) and support is readily available. She explains the benefits of different movements and works hard to tailor classes to individual and group needs. There is a lovely sense of community in the online group.
Ginny shares knowledge and promotes healthy lifestyles without ever being ‘preachy’ – but she is always positive and encouraging. I love doing weights (something I never thought I’d say!), Fitness Pilates and all of the mobility workouts… As a woman in her early forties, these workouts make me feel stronger, more energised and less ‘wound’ – I feel more flexible after classes and LOVE being able to access whatever class I choose, whenever I can fit one in. Ideal!”
“I love Ginny’s online fitness sessions because she gives clear, easy to follow instructions with regular reminders about important points. It’s easy to adjust the level of challenge and with a range from 10 minutes to 45 minutes they can be easily fitted into the amount of time (& energy!) available. Covering mobility, cardio, strength training and stretch & relaxation each week they build into a fantastic resource library in the online hub that can be accessed at any convenient time. So motivating! And Ginny is so cheerful and encouraging (I’ve been with her for 5 years or more and still enjoy every session I do!) and she works very hard to meet everybody’s (and every body’s!) needs.”
“My mobility has improved so much over the past year from doing your online workouts. I do so love your stretch classes Ginny, some days I am so incredibly stiff, but by the end of your class I feel so much looser. Thank you.”
“I so love Fitness Pilates. I just really enjoy that 30 minutes to myself! Super enjoyable sessions, I can feel myself getting stronger.”
“No way am I missing the Fitness Pilates workouts. I love the flows, and I have loads more movement through my aching body at the end. It’s good for my mind too, I totally switch off to the world.”
“Ginny’s community fitness classes are fantastic. She’s always fizzing with energy. Even though it’s a group class she watches you to make sure your technique is correct. We always have a laugh & you leave with a smile on your face. I’m getting stronger and need to increase my weights. No two classes are ever the same so there’s no room for boredom.”
“Hi Ginny, I loved the session this morning, thank you so much. I really like how clear and precise your instructions are during the class and also your explanation of the benefits of the movement being performed and muscles being used. Using the ball was a new experience for me, I could definitely feel how it helped. I’m already looking forward to next week’s session.”
“As being one of the “older ladies’ attending Fitness Pilates, Ginny is great and gives plenty of options to match our abilities. It is also a very relaxing and fun atmosphere. I always look forward to Tuesday sessions at Harby Village Hall.”
