"The last three months working with Fiona has made me proud of my body again. I had never worked with a personal trainer because I was never a fitness fanatic and didn't really need to make any major changes to my body. But when my son told me my arms were continuing to wave after I had stopped, and when my slacks were feeling a little tight before dinner, I realized that I needed to focus on toning and shaping up. Fiona's enthusiasm and encouragement have inspired me to keep working towards my goals. The natural progression and variety that she works into our sessions keep them challenging and fun. This investment in myself has truly paid off and my wardrobe choices have increased significantly as all those small clothes seem to have gotten a little bigger!
I love working with Fiona!

"I've never done much exercise for years, consumed with career, friends and family. This year I decided it was time for a change and took up training with Fiona as recommended by a colleague. After several months of getting used to regular exercise I can truly say my life has changed for the better! I've become very fit at a pace that suits me and I've lost weight in a healthy way that I will be able to sustain. Fiona has helped me and pushed me in the right direction through her tailored program. I am more confident and happy in myself and will continue to train with Fiona. I highly recommend her as a personal trainer to anyone. She is professional, motivating, helpful, friendly and fun to exercise with! But most of all I believe she truly wants to get the best out of people and that is why she is so successful."

"My name is Gabriela, I am 41 years old and have a 28 months old son. When I first met Fiona in August 2009, I had been diagnosed with Burn Out Syndrome and extreme fatigue. I had not exercised in over 3 years. In light of this, Fiona devised a special programme specifically tailored to suit my needs and address my health concerns. Five months after I started training with Fiona thanks to her programme I am gradually building up my energy levels, and the progress is remarkable. I have finally, lost the extra weight left from my pregnancy, I feel stronger physically and mentally, my muscles are recovering their tone and my body feels and looks better than it has in a very long time. Fiona has helped much more than she knows."

"A year ago I started working out with Fiona. In the course of a year, I lost 11 KG which had been my goal. Prior to working out with Fiona, I had been unsuccessfully trying to lose weight on my own for over two years. I knew what I needed to do and what I needed to eat and not eat, but I could never stay with any workout or eating plan for any more than a month. Once I started with Fiona, everything fell into place. I worked out with her twice a week at her studio and followed a food plan for about 6 months, tracking what I ate. With the consistent routine and encouragement from Fiona, I then incorporated my own running and lifting routine on other days. It was exactly what I needed to get back on track and back into good exercise and eating habits again. I felt like I worked in a partnership with Fiona and together we established a plan which allowed me to lose weight, get into better shape, and also avoid any injuries. Fiona was always encouraging, attentive, and professional. It was an absolute delight to work with her".

"I just want to say that I thoroughly enjoyed learning from you in such a friendly and relaxing atmosphere. I learned so much about a better healthy life style with all your useful and practical tips, that are easy to sustain in the long run and which aren't too overwhelming. I really appreciate the home program you gave me so that I can continue to exercise at home or on holidays by myself. Thank you so much for the training and passing along your knowledge to others. Marie Dewulf, the Hague
"I train with Fiona since January 2009 en it was the best decision of the new year. I feel fitter, healthier and stronger. Fiona's training is very motivating and it is in a private environment. She teaches strength training in a way that is also easy to do at home. Besides that, she gives me lots of food and exercise advice, which helps me lot. For everyone who would like to invest in herself, I would definitely recommend Fiona!! "

"Get Active 121 has met all my expectations. Fiona is a professional. She takes time to listen to your goals and needs and builds up your fitness levels gradually. I had always thought that training would be tough and difficult, however Fiona guides you step by step into the world of fitness and a healthy lifestyle. I am now even at the stage that I like to exercise, so motivation and guidance does help! Personal training is expensive but it is more than worth its money! Fiona has taught me how to do the exercises at home so I do not any longer have to find excuses for not going to the gym. I can do the exercises in the comfort of my own home."
Anita Ramharakh, Communication Advisor, the Hague
"After a major knee injury, followed by months of inactivity, physiotherapy and pain, I noticed that my fitness levels had dropped and that I needed a way to improve them. I tried the gym on my own, but without the right guidance and a plan, my attempts were unsuccessful. I was fortunate to meet Fiona. After just a few sessions, she had not only tailored a fitness plan that was adapted to my needs, but also offered an eating plan to optimize my results. It is said that it's all in the details, and this is the best best part of Fiona's fitness plan for me. She makes sure that I'm doing the right exercises (in the right way) and improve constantly, but also helps me to understand the how and why they are helping me. I have been on my plan for several months now, and not only am I stronger and feel better, but all of the nagging pain caused by my injury is a thing of the past. If you are in a similar situation, and have your own fitness goals, I would have no hesitation in recommending Fiona to help you achieve them."

"I can highly recommend Fiona as a personal trainer. She's dedicated and lots of fun to work with. Thanks to Fiona I became more aware of my body and how to look after it. I loved working out with her and she was always as excited, as I was to see the results of weeks working together. Shame she had to move back to Europe!"
Heather Colvill Jones, Kuala Lumpur
"I trained with Fiona for 6 months. During that time I discovered that despite my health problems, I am able to exercise within my limits and still improve my fitness levels. Fiona took plenty of time to explain every exercise and if I wasn't up to an exercise she would always have different exercises that I could do. Beside improved health, Fiona's training has given me more self confidence. To experience that exercise doesn't have to be painful was an eye opener for me! Fiona is very professional en she knows what she is doing. Thanks to her education she has an excellent knowledge of anatomy and Fiona was also prepared to read about my specific health problems which resulted in an optimal training program. If Fiona hadn't moved back to Europe I would still be training with her! "
