Testimonials

Quotes After months of intensive training of classes and solo gym sessions, I had got fitter, but no stronger and I hit a plateau. I wanted to increase my strength, but I couldnâ??t seem to achieve this. I was offered a slot of free personal training by Clara and was shown different exercises and pushed harder than I was pushing myself. I was soon booking weekly sessions, had a training programme designed with my goals in mind and had my diet improved â?? this combined package produced the results I was after, but couldnâ??t achieve on my own. Now I notice my improvements as I increase the amount of weight I incorporate into my sessions. My preferred area for personal training with Clara has been to focus on my leg strength. The training sessions have covered the whole variety of leg muscles and ranged from plyometric exercises to weighted squats and dead lifts. Each session has been enjoyable and left me looking forward to the next. Quotes

Quotes I'm a long time adventure racer who is currently on a quest to get to a century of marathons. Unfortunately due to a medical condition I have had to have my right first rib and various muscles in my neck and shoulder resected. This has left me with a challenge of using my right arm. Fortuitously I met Clara who understood my desire to rebuild strength and be able to pursue my passion. She spent a lot of time researching the problems I faced and the possible solutions. Only then would she allow me to target developing strength and mobility. The rehabilitation was challenging both mentally and physically as I had to overcome years of protective mechanisms. At times when it became really difficult for me to continue, she made sure I was capable physically and mentally to meet the challenges of my rehab. After a few weeks of intensive work I now have the confidence to proceed on my own, have more mobility in my arm, and am pondering a long distance kayaking race. Quotes
