Testimonials

Here are some comments from my feedback for gentle exercise for seated movers
I asked the residents from Diamond Court Residential Home what they enjoy about the class?

"I think it's really good for the elderly to have some physical exercise as they all just sit around and do next to nothing.   I think it's vital that they have something to do so I'm surprised more people don't join in. I am trying to work on them. "

"Friendly atmosphere"

"The satisfaction of having done something useful together"

"Being in the company of other ladies and a very nice lady instructor."

"Encourages exercising and provides a joint activity and think it will even more useful in winter"

"You keep us working quite hard but at the same time your bubbly nature gives us a good laugh"

"Everything!!"

Feedback from aerobics class at Islip
What do you enjoy about the class?

"All of it!!"

"Keeping me fit - nice atmosphere - can walk to the class from home!"

"Really enjoy the exercise and toning particularly. It's good to do an activity with my daughter."

"It's a good all-round work-out. It's local and with people I know."

"The comraderie. They aren't imagey or poser-ish - just a bunch of girls getting some exercise and having fun.   I really like your tone and persona."

"It's quite good fun and doing me good"

"Everything!!"

And some comments from the Pilates class at the Thames Valley Strategic Health Authority
"I did enjoy the first class and fully intend to turn up for more."

"Enjoyed the class and certainly no aches or pains. Liked the visualisation images - makes feeling it much easier."

"Am feeling great! Have been aware of my posture all day! Been in car quite a bit, tightening up tummy muscles!!!"

"I enjoyed it Jenny - I hadn't realised pilates works so much around the tummy muscles and that's exactly what I need! The music was lovely and I found it very relaxing."

"Thanks for the class really enjoyed it."

And the Magdalen Centre class
"I thought the class was great. It felt relaxing, but at the same time, I could tell I was working. It definitely felt like a good way to fit in some exercise at the start of the week, and a good way to unwind a bit after a Monday morning in the office."

"I really enjoyed it!"

"Thanks for yesterday. I really enjoyed it, and am aching a bit today. I take that as a sign that the exercises have worked so far! As a person who doesn't really enjoy exercise such as running or going to the gym, the class was a fresh approach for me."

"I thought that it was a really good class. I really appreciated having a good stretch! I felt the class was quite relaxed which was nice. I personally like the 12.15 start time too."

One of my clients, Alison says..
" Before, I regularly used to resolve to start an exercise programme but somehow it always got pushed out by other commitments, particularly work. Now that Jenny works with me as my personal trainer, I have a programme that I can keep to and I always have support and someone to make sure that I
accomplish what I want to achieve.

We don't work at the gym because I dislike gyms. So instead Jenny created a programme for me to do at home, to meet my needs and my busy life-style.

At first we did 3 sessions a week together but as the programme progressed and I was motivated to keep to a 3-times-a-week exercise routine, we met up just twice a month.

But when I'm extra busy at work and beginning to let the exercise slide, she monitors me more closely and works with me more frequently.

I'm proud of the fact that I feel and look better. My upper arms have better muscle tone - so now I feel I don't have to cover them up in the summer.

I find it really helpful that Jenny mixes close supervision and support by phone, depending on my motivation and other commitments. I also like the way she regularly checks what my goals are because this helps me remember why I'm doing the exercises so I'm re-motivated. "

Jeff from Kennington says..
"I now feel enthused and energised to do more exercise after a couple of visits from Jenny.   She devised a personal programme for my needs going through the programme with me looking at my technique and checking that I was doing everything correctly.   She also suggested some classes for me to attend.   After a couple of weeks my core area feels stronger and I feel so much better.   I am now inspired to do more exercise in the future and will be intending to go to some of Jenny's Pilates classes."

Aqua
"Aqua is great fun, its low impact and works out my whole body."
