Update – 2022.

Have been going to Ali’s classes for sometime now. She helps me to maintain my fitness, flexibility, mobility and strength. I often don’t feel like going but I am ALWAYS thankful that I did. Her classes are most carefully planned and Ali remembers the physical idiosyncrasies / operations/injuries sustained/weaknesses and conditions that may compromise our fitness. She always has alternatives or modifications if we struggle with a particular exercise. Every class is different and a variety of equipment is used; Weights, resistance bands, Eggballs , straps, bars, and mat work. Ali is a dedicated Fitness Professional who, while experienced over many years, is always imparting new thinking and the latest theories on health and diet which will further help to to consolidate and improve the fitness of her clients. She is top of her game – ’nuff said.

2000 – 2022 Update

Why do I go to Ali’s Fitness Class? I never feel awkward or silly if I get something wrong and that’s down to how Ali runs the class – she makes everyone feel welcome. She genuinely cares about each and every client that she has and personalises exercise to suit individual people. She brings something new to each class so they exercises never get boring or repetitive. Add to that her 38 years experience in fitness and you can’t find a better instructor!

[Transparency alert from Ali ; Jane P is, in fact, my best chum. If she didn’t say Nice Things I would stop making her Healthy Cake. I met her in my STEP class in 1809. But she is still a month younger than me :o) ]

PT 2016 – 2022

Ali is the most professional, knowledgeable nutcase PT. She makes it her business to thoroughly know and understand your body and its needs and will have you screaming with both laughter and pain ( in a good way)

Update 2022

I’m about to be 60 and have been with Ali for some years now and have attended PT and STEP and Fitness Classes. It feels quite indulgent, Ali pays such close attention to me and my issues (which have been managed away in most cases!) that it feels very personal and, yes, indulgent. Ali keeps studying to keep her knowledge absolutely up to date and you feel safe in her very capable hands. Classes are fun but you definitely work hard getting the most out of them with personalised versions of the exercises. I don’t really know how she keeps us all in her head ! Fabulous instructor, would recommend without hesitation.

I love going to Ali’s fitness classes.
I go to Ali’s Monday night class and Wednesday morning step class. I have also used her as a personal trainer. They are all different so you will never get bored! She takes into account everyone’s abilities and makes sure that everyone is working as hard as they can without doing any damage. You can tell she has many years of experience in different aspects of fitness, so is adaptable for all walks of life!
Ali uses great metaphors whilst you’re working out, so you know exactly what part of the body she wants you to work, and this ensures you do the exercise properly with minimal risk of damage. The classes are always great fun and Ali’s enthusiasm makes sure of this!

Classes from 1990’s …. Anita is now 50

Ali is simply the most knowledgeable and informative fitness professional that you could ever wish to meet. I started out as a class attendee but Ali’s enthusiasm and her way of teaching inspired me to become an instructor myself. I had never been to a class before where the teacher explained which muscles were working and how to engage them and also spotted if you were doing something wrong and came over to correct you. In tune to each persons abilities and needs Ali is one of the most caring and attentive instructors I’ve ever met. (She’s also very funny). Highly qualified doesn’t even scratch the surface, Ali is my ‘go to’ person for any health related issues, she always has the answer or at least a suggestion to point me in the right direction. As Tina Turner would say she’s “Simply the Best “
