Awa Chats I went to the joint pain programme after hearing about it following my physio sessions at St George’s hospital. I was a little apprehensive as I’ve never been to the gym before. Ryan did an assessment with me to find out what my level was… it’s necessary! After the first session I was in pain but it was a different kind of pain. I was using parts of my body that I hadn’t used in ages! I’ve had a lower back pain for years but this pain was new. It was a healthy pain. The pain came from the muscles in my body that I ‘should have been using’ but wasn’t due to my body compensating the pain I was permanently in. OMG! This was a complete revelation… I was using wrong parts of my body to do everyday exercises and I never knew that. Alex, trainer and class teacher is absolutely brilliant. I’m sure she has memorised each person’s capabilities because she give us the same exercises but they are sort-of-ish tailored to each person. She’s amazing! I never got that feeling where I couldn’t be bothered to go. I even went to the class when I felt rough because I knew it would make me feel better. Exercising is not just a physical activity but it’s a mental one too. It makes me feel so good inside and I can’t recommend the joint pain programme enough. I tell everyone about it! I’m just sad that the 12 weeks programme has come to an end. It helped me so much and although I’ve another 12 weeks, that is going to fly by. Thank you Alex, the team and thank you Nuffield Health for providing this invaluable service!

Ellis Earl I just wanted to take the time to give a huge shoutout to Karl! A member of staff who has always gone above and beyond to make the experience in club memorable. Nothing is too much trouble and he’s always on hand to help, a real asset to Virgin Active!

Rik Jackson My son has been with Holistic Fitness for a year now. He started in Lil Dragons and has just gone up to KidsZone. Its been great for his fitness and strength and its been great seeing him achieve his first belts. The personal development element of the classes has helped him learn respect for others as well as helping with this self esteem. We also attended the bring your parents session last autumn which was a great way for the kids to involve their parents in classes. This was also a brilliant opportunity for parents to see just how the classes work and understand how the kids develop their physical skills and personality attributes during a marital arts class.

Lorna Collins I have been swimming at Teddington Pool on and off for very many years, and have always found it an enjoyable experience. However, I have been more than impressed by the facility since lockdown. The water is pristine as are the changing rooms (shout-out to the lovely cleaners) and the staff are always friendly and helpful. There is still a booking system which does require a bit of negotiating to get the slot you want, but it is well worth the effort for such an enjoyable 45 minutes of swimming. So huge thanks to all the staff for making post-lockdown much easier to endure!

Emanuele Giansanti Duncan is an amazing coach! Ive had the pleasure of working directly with coach Duncan in a 1 to 1 gym setting as well as being part of the local cycling club. Hes great with putting you at ease while at the same time pushing you to improve and give your best in any activity. He offers great knowledge and support with any type of exercise, indoors or outdoors. I can only recommend to anyone to join his Putney Bootcamp, you will not regret it!!

tara kelly I’ve had an amazing experience working with Lon. His strength training sessions have helped me build real muscle, improve my posture, and stay consistent with my goals. This is the first time I’ve truly noticed a difference in my body after years of attending gym classes, and it’s all thanks to his guidance. He has excellent theoretical knowledge, gives great lifestyle advice, and keeps every session purposeful and motivating. His fitness app has also been a huge bonus – it helps me stay on track between sessions and supports my overall health journey. He’s patient, a fantastic teacher, and a great motivator. The workouts are always challenging but genuinely fun, and I always leave feeling stronger and more confident. I would highly recommend!
