"I would totally recommend Gemma and her boxercise class! I’d never done it before and she made it really easy to understand and fun! We all have a great laugh and have a fab workout at the same time! She’s totally awesome!!!"

Alice

"I had so much fun during our group training session! With a great mixture of upper and lower body exercises, Gemma tailored each exercise to our individual needs whilst keeping intensity and motivation high! I may ache now, but I will definitely be back!"

I have been training with Gemma for almost a year now in both 121 sessions and group classes. Gemma's 121 sessions are always individual to you and varied a lot so you get to experience different types of exercises. Gemma's approach is very personal and she cares about her clients. She will challenge you and push you out of your comfort zone and she's always there to celebrate your successes with you. I'm so glad that I took what was a very daunting step and started training with Gemma. I have so far lost 25lbs and am lifting heavy which I never thought I would be able to achieve. Gemma has helped me build confidence in so many ways and has helped me focus and reduce my anxiety all through helping me build something sustainable. I have also found a love for kettlebells through her group sessions which are always fun and are always a safe and secure environment. I would not hesitate in recommending Gemma to anyone.

I’ve been working out with Gemma for around 18months. I genuinely enjoy our sessions- always leave with a smile on my face and I can see and feel the benefits. I suffered an injury last September and Gemma has been fantastic in helping me recover and rebuild strength. I have muscle definition I’ve never had before. I feel stronger and more confident. Gemma creates a safe, encouraging and constructive training environment both in her 1-1s and group classes. I absolutely love the group classes- supportive and fun!

Clare

"A suitably challenging session for all levels at an excellent value for money. It has changed my mind about exercise sessions for the better! I don't think I will ever go back to the gym normally!"

Rob

"The one-off nutritional advice that Gemma gave me was incredibly helpful and very easy to understand. It was broken down into straightforward sections that have allowed me to get a better understanding of the best foods to be eating to achieve my goals. Would definitely recommend"!

Imogen

"Gemma is great! I’m loving her Boxercise classes. She had great energy, she’s personable and lovely looking forward to starting 1:1 sessions next week"

Gemma is an amazing PT- I have been training with her for a few months now with the goal of rebuilding my body and strength post pregnancy and to recover from related injuries. She set me up with a training sessions that made me feel strong from day one but are 100% tailored to me and my goals. The sessions are well planned, structured and varied and so much fun it’s my favourite appointment of the week. Gemma is extremely professional, friendly, knowledgable and fun to work with- I highly recommend her as a trainer.

Lara

"Gemma is fabulous and given me the kick start I needed back into my exercise routine as well as supporting me with my eating plans for my busy weeks.
Gemma is very knowledgeable and adapts the sessions so they are personal to you and your goals.
She is super flexible to fit around my work hours and I have started using her online app which is proving to be successful!"

Nicola

"Been regularly attending sessions every week after doing nothing like this before. One thing I have never been good at is  technique, but Gemma is always confident and happy to teach me to ensure I am persistently doing it correctly. Outside of the PT sessions, I have also been asking her about nutrition for cycling and running. My cycling has improved hugely going from 60km max all the way to 100km in a month! Great at tailoring the sessions to everyone's abilities. Always felt included and motivated to push me. Definitely not changing to any other PT any time soon. Definitely getting my money's worth".

Jamie

"Gemma has worked with me on several 1:1 PT sessions. She always explains what I need to do clearly and is quick to pick up incorrect technique. She's also really good at coming up with options if the activity is too easy or too hard for me. I struggle to motivate myself and Gemma has made every session fun and something I want to give my all to. I feel great after a workout and know I've really been put through my paces".

Lizzy

I started Gemma’s kettlebells class in Jan, and I’m still going and enjoying it 4-5months later, which says a lot for me. I’m starting to feel stronger and noticing improvements in other areas like posture. Supportive, low pressure environment. Would highly recommend to help you get back into the swing of strength work, or for newbies.

Kim

"Gemma provided some one-off nutritional advice to support my fitness journey. It was very detailed and highlighted where I can make healthier food swaps and incorporate more nutrients into my diet with little effort. Would recommend it to anyone, even those who feel comfortable with their knowledge of nutrition. Input from a qualified professional is invaluable and in Gemma's case was swift and reasonably priced".

Christy

"Gemma is great at tailoring the exercises to every ability level, showing the basic exercise and then ways to make it more difficult or easy. Always offering encouragement to try the more difficult version but leaving it up to the individual to decide! As it was my first time doing workout classes it's a great experience and would fully recommend".

Harry

"Excellent BoxFit class, cannot wait for next week!"

Angela

1 year update: I have been with Gemma a year this month, and wow! I am happier, healthier and fitter than I have ever been. I look forward to my weekly class. Gemma is brilliant and no two classes are the same. I look forward to seeing the other regular ladies and we always have a laugh while we workout.

My weekly PTs have been life changing and I am more confident and LOVE lifting weights with Gemma's guidance. Her knowledge is second to none, she is always looking to keep things new and fun. What's more, she is lovely and makes even the most daunting exercises totally doable.

 

I have been training with Gemma since November 2021. It started with boxercise and then also 1:1 sessions. The boxercise classes are fun, motivating and actually really addictive. The 1:1 sessions are improving my fitness and confidence, and it's also great for my mental health. It has also been lovely to get to know Gemma over the last few months. Her ethos, and that of her business resonate with me and it's great to find a PT who understands life is all about balance and that exercise is also about mental health. Thanks Gemma....here's to more!

Jade

"I have really enjoyed my training sessions with Gemma. They are tough and she pushes you hard but in an encouraging and positive “you got this” way. She’s really invested in her clients and a lot of thought goes into her sessions, she asks for feedback and has a very approachable not judgmental style which I appreciate. I would highly recommend Gemma to anyone wanted to improve their fitness, get stronger and look at nutrition in an easy non-restrictive way".

Hannah

"I would totally recommend Gemma. I attend the boxercise class on a Monday. I love the class and has really helped my confidence in being able to exercise with other people- while making it FUN She really helps motivate you throughout the session, adapting the workout to your abilities and pushing you through. Most importantly, the sessions are very enjoyable, I always feel much better in myself after a class".

Jade

We really enjoy our weekly PT session with Gemma. She is friendly and professional, helping us to work towards our fitness goals and giving us advice on lifestyle to help us get more gains. I would highly recommend Gemma as a PT if you need general motivation to make exercise a regular part of your routine or if you are training towards a more specific fitness goal. I have gained a massive amount of confidence lifting weights since working with Gemma in her studio, my upper body strength has improved and she continues to encourage me to use kit I would have never have tried in the gym. Gemma is always on hand to give guidance on our cycling and running goals. Long may the burn continue! 🙂

"I embarked on an 8 week fitness plan with Gemma with my partner and I can honestly say it was brilliant.

"Give Barbells and Burn a try - it’s a lovely group and Gemma is really encouraging. It’s a great workout"

Vicky K

Gemma is great!! I have been having 1-1 sessions to increase strength. Gemma has a vast knowledge of exercise variations and mixes things up every week. Always encouraging, and motivating. She challenges me, and I am confident in lifting heavier weights safely. I can honestly say I am loving every session and feel stronger and fitter. I highly recommend Gemma.

Lou

"Really enjoyed barbells and burn this evening! Nice group of ladies."

Katie

"Had another fantastic boxercise session with Gemma this morning. Her classes are great fun and she works all parts of your body. Lovely bunch of ladies that go too and we have great fun. 100% recommend Gemma"

Jessica

"I enjoyed my fitness plan with Gemma. I was hesitant to start but Gemma was encouraging and supportive. Unfortunately, I hurt my back during my plan ( doing something else) Gemma kindly adapted my sessions to keep me mobile but not aggravate my back further.
Her charges are very reasonable and I would recommend her 1:1 sessions"

Kerry

Gemma has really helped me get back to fitness and introduce my teenager to weight training. Gemma has a lovely way of understanding our different needs and changing our weekly 122 sessions to best suit both of us. Would highly recommend such a supportive friendly PT.

"Oh wow! That’s a huge difference isn’t it?! Thanks so much for emailing me to tell me the good news! I’ve written a little bit about how I feel below. Feel free to use or happy to change if you’d rather. X I’ve spent much of my life in the gym and always loved lifting weights, but life changes meant I stopped all that for about 3 years and my body changed massively. I needed the motivation to get back to the gym again and get my self confidence back, so I booked 8 weeks with Gemma and I’m so glad I did! I’m only 4 weeks in and I’ve lost a whole 4 inches from my waist… I knew I’d changed shape but that’s really exciting! As motivational as that is, the biggest driver for me is how amazing I feel in myself. I have a very demanding job and it’s hard to fit everything in, yet I find my energy is sky high, I'm sleeping at least 8 hours every night, eating a healthy diet (with the odd glass of wine or vodka of course) 😉. With 2 young labradors I’ve always loved walking but I find the influence of the diet and training I’m doing means I’m pushing myself to walk further and faster every day. It’s definitely a cumulative effect. And most satisfying of all for me, as someone who was born with a heart murmur and a hole in my heart, my usual resting heart rate has been between 75 and 80 for the last few years. It’s now consistently at 66!!!! If I can do this in just 4 weeks, who knows what I can achieve in the next couple of months! Thank you Gemma for your smiley face, great motivation, expert advice and listening ear. You’re really helping me to find myself again!"
