Marianna is superb - really an expert in postnatal exercise. Highly recommend!

After a long lockdown I felt very stodgy and unfit so looked for a local trainer and am so lucky to have found Marianna. I am 56 so a little self-conscious about visiting public gyms full of young, fit types! Marianna was great - right from the start - she really got to know me, how I wanted to feel and how to best help me achieve this. The sessions were always challenging and varied enough not to be boring - working on cardio/strength and flexibility. For anyone of any age or fitness level - I cannot recommend Marianna highly enough.

I came across Marianna after a considerable length of time away from any form of exercise, apart from fairly regular running. I’d had 2 children and after the birth of my first I’d got into CrossFit, but after my second I’d had some complications that had kept me away from the gym and had given me ‘the fear’ of doing any sort of weight training. Marianna called me and we had a very open and honest chat about my post-natal challenges and I knew then that she fully understood and got me. I was looking for a trainer who was focussed on helping me to strengthen my body safely and recognised the importance of training women the ‘right way’ – which hadn’t always been my experience. We started working together in November 2019 and its been a great journey so far, I was training with Marianna at a small gym near work but since the lockdown we have been having regular Zoom sessions twice a week, with additional workouts programmed in between. Every workout is totally different – which is key for me given the way my head works (it’s easy to get bored or second guess which makes working out harder for me). The encouragement she gives is great, even if I’m feeling a bit off and tired I soon get into it. Marianna also looks at nutrition, but it was always less of a focus for me although it’s something I want to look more closely at and I know the support is there from Marianna. My main goal is to feel good, get stronger and have higher energy levels which has definitely been the case. If you are looking for a great PT who is brilliant with people I would recommend Marianna 100%.

Marianne is such a versatile PT, she helped me identify emotional eating Triggers and build up a healthy manageable routine, during our time together she would do regular and in depth check ins, not just for health and fitness but about life too and I found that to be important on my road to a better lifestyle, she’s super approachable and exceptionally professional, I managed to lose weight even though I was in lockdown - I hope to work with marianne again in the future!
