TESTIMONIALS

​

I have been using Michelle as my personal trainer for almost 2 years now and love it!

She is well trained and knowledgeable. She pushes you to get the most out of the session. I'm certainly far stronger and fitter than I used to be as a result of these sessions. There is no comparison with other gym or bootcamp PT's I have used. Plus we have a good laugh too! Would highly recommend her as a PT at the drop of a hat.

A friend suggested I try Michelle's Cardio Dance class and it is something I look forward to every week. Michelle is so good at what she does. She makes her classes fun, easy to follow, safe and welcoming for all. This is why I chose Michelle as my personal trainer. She never disappoints- her expertise and knowledge of various health conditions and how to tailor the training to my needs. I am so happy to have found Michelle, she has made a big difference to my health and wellbeing. I would highly recommend her.

In 2022 I started working with Michelle with once a week PT sessions. I have an ongoing shoulder injury and asthma. It's made such a difference to my health and fitness. Michelle works so hard to make sessions relevant and functional, but also so much fun! Couldn't recommend more highly, especially if you're struggling with a health condition.

Michelle is absolutely fabulous. I had got very unfit and found walking was causing me pain. I started PT with Michelle and after thorough health checks and movement range checks, Michelle devised a programme for cardio, strength and core fitness focussing on my weakest areas to prevent poor posture causing further pain. 

I now have more energy and feel fitter and my pain has gone! Michelle is knowledgeable, approachable and always focuses on exercising safely and working with what the client is hoping to achieve. I cannot recommend her enough.

Michelle is a fantastic personal trainer. I've been working with her for over two years now and she has really boosted my confidence and helped me improve my strength and fitness. She tailors everything not just to the individual, but how that individual is on the day, so you feel pushed and that you are growing, but never intimidated. She's always super-organised, punctual, inventive and a real pleasure to work with. Whatever your fitness goals, I'd have no hesitation recommending her.

I could rave about Michelle’s fitness classes for hours but in a nutshell, they are fun, motivating, make your body feel free and alive, safe, for all levels, interesting, good for both cardio and strength, totally sustainable and did I say fun?!! As for Michelle, she is truly one of the nicest people you will ever meet, so welcoming and patient....and she really knows her stuff so you can be sure of a good safe workout to great music that just leaves you feeling fantastic. Over 2 years in and I still get excited going to class - thank you Michelle, you totally revived my love of exercising.

Michelle's Fitsteps classes are just brilliant. She makes learning the different latin and ballroom dance routines fun and easy and has really helped me refine my dance technique and improve my stamina. I always used to look forward to her classes at the gym and now I love getting the link to her online classes every week. She has worked hard to produce great routines covering latin and ballroom dance styles that are easy to follow and broken down in detail for anyone who is new to the sessions. Michelle also gives lower impact options where appropriate and lots of encouragement throughout each dance so that the sessions are suitable for all levels of fitness.

Michelle is an energetic, friendly, and motivating instructor. Classes are fun! She makes everyone feel comfortable and welcome and I always leave feeling like I've had a good workout.

Michelle gives very clear instructions and demonstrations of the moves in her Fitsteps class, and options for different levels of intensity, so there is always a choice for you to follow. The music is upbeat and often has the class singing along! It really is a fun way to get a workout !

I've never attended an Aqua class quite as good as Michelle's! Dispelling the myth that Aqua is only for the older & less fit among us, this class really does stand out from any I have been to before! Again, different intensity options are given as are demonstrations of the moves. Music is upbeat and I really know I have had a workout when I leave the pool !

I highly recommend Michelle as an instructor! I highly recommend her classes!

Michelle is a friendly and energetic instructor who motivates us to give each dance our all but she always gives different options to suit your fitness level. Her classes are one of the highlights of my week!

Michelle's delightful personality makes the Fitsteps classes fun! Experience of other instructors has shown me just how skilled Michelle is in adapting to different ability levels and yet inspiring to us all. Fitsteps enables me to enjoy dance without needing a partner. Boredom is never an issue as there is a variety of dance styles during each class and Michelle frequently introduces new routines. Good for the mind as well as the body- I smile through every class!

Having joined many aqua classes, I find Michelle's to be the best. She puts a lot of planning into her lessons,

incorporating fitness and fun. Great workout leaving with a smile!

Michelle is an amazing instructor. She's funny, very enthusiastic and dedicated to what she is doing. Very professional without being pompous. The thing that I like about the classes is that there's always an easier, less intense option to choose. She also looks fabulous doing the moves - she knows her stuff.

Maria Stanford

​

Absolutely love the classes- great music, great fun and you don't realise you're working out! Michelle is a great teacher, she will demonstrate the dance steps and gives you the option of lower impact steps to try. I always leave the class feeling good.
