Testimonials - Gillian Robertson, Personal Trainer

- As someone who leads a very hectic life, working with Gillian is proving to be a very positive experience. Her flexible approach to working out is refreshing. As we work out at home Gillian has to deal with a full household, children running around trying to whip off with her equipment and the like, her patience and understanding is remarkable.

My objective is to feel better after a work out, to make the most of inner energy in order to be able to run my business and still have lots of capacity for my family.. With a ski ing injury, coupled with back and neck pain, there has to be an all-inclusive approach to the workout. It is not possible on each occasion for me to handle 'heavy' work, Gillian offers a wide variety of exercise options. When feeling good, I surprise myself by boxing and lifting heavy weights. When the injury and pain is impinging, then Gillian introduces a combination of yoga and pilates.

My husband now enjoys working out with Gillian, I can see that the work she is doing with him is totally different to mine. There are many strings to Gillian's bow, her sense of humour helps make the time we spend together fun and invigorating.
This range of specialist expertise means that Gillian is a very unusual trainer.

Vivienne Keay-Chaplin

High blood pressure and excess pounds meant I needed to increase my exercise levels and lose weight. However, as un unfit, uncoordinated 40 something asthmatic I was unable to join a fitness class as the pace was way beyond my capabilities. So I tentatively decided to give one to one training a try.

From my first hesitant call to Gill I felt at ease. Gill was friendly and encouraging and devised a programme suitable for me and also advised on diet. It was never too much for me to cope with nor too easy. She encouraged and pushed me on. The programme has been flexible and varied as I have progressed and now 6 months later I can jog (something which I have never managed previously in my life) and I have lost nine and a half inches from my waist! Which although is wonderful is insignificant compared to how much better I feel about myself. Many thanks to Gill.

Anne Paul, Felsted

- Gillian became my personal trainer four months ago and has consistently provided me with the encouragement and advice I needed to help me achieve my personal aim of increasing my fitness levels and reduction in weight. For anyone needing that extra push or a boost in motivation Gillian provides a friendly down to earth non-patronising solution.

- If you want to increase your motivation, improve your self esteem and self image, have regular sessions with Gillian Robertson.

Julia Waterman, Hatfield Broad Oak

I have been training with Gillian for four months. The workouts are fun and tailored to my own needs and goals. Each hour with Gillian is as effective as three hours in the gym. Prior to training with Gillian I had lost all my motivation to exercise - she has not only raised my fitness levels, but I am now motivated to exercise regularly with Gillian and my friends. I am fitter, more toned and feel healthier than ever.

Re - Pilates - Exhilarated with total well being are my Monday morning feelings at Gillian's Pilates class. Gillian's sparkle and encouragement is transferred to everyone individually, while relaxing music aids the group to do precise, careful stretching and balancing movements. Gillian's sessions are really great, friendly and beneficial. I would recommend her to anyone.

Audrey Maddock

Gillian's pilates classes have been wonderful, especially for my bad back. I noticed an improvement almost immediately and three months on the difference is amazing. Our all over fitness and strength has also improved. We are now true devotees of Pilates. Many thanks.

I have been to many kinds of exercise classes over the years, but never to one that I have enjoyed as much as Gillian's. The time just seems to fly by. Many thanks.
