I just wanted to say a massive a thank you for all your help and support in reaching my goal - target weight, reduced bingo wings and bikini fit body (well almost)! My friends, family and colleagues have all commented on the difference. Most importantly though I feel amazing - I had no idea it was possible to make such a transformation in just two months - and enjoy every minute of it! I am now hooked on burn it fitness, and will most definitely be back after the honeymoon, although I can't promise the 4-5 times a week dedication of the early weeks! Thanks again, and I will definitely email you guys a photo when I am back (end of October)!

I have been working with Louise for just under a year, and whilst having thought about a personal trainer for sometime found her cheerful disposition, obvious love of her work and commitment to making exercise fun, the catalyst I required to "get across the line". Each session is a little bit different, with Louise using variety to real effect that ensures that her sessions do not become monotonous. Best of all Louise will listen to you, and skilfully uses exercise substitution so that she minimises the time spent on sets that you really don't like (in my case burpees and full-body press-ups) whilst at the same time making sure you still obtain the necessary muscle group or aerobic work-out. However, be warned, this does not mean that she is a soft touch, for ultimately Louise's aim is to improve your level of fitness and help you enjoy it at the same time, even if you do end up smiling through gritted teeth. Forget diets, forget lipo-suction go spend sometime with Louise, for she really is an endorphin generator!

Testimonial: I met Michelle through the group training sessions, and immediately felt like she was interested in more than my class attendance. In discussing my weight loss goals, she spoke to the class about the importance of a balanced diet and arming ourselves with food knowledge. I had to learn more and booked myself to meet with her! After meeting with her for the first consultation, I felt energized to try new foods, work on portion size and empowered to make smart choices whether I was eating in or out. Michelle worked steadily with me on my total health (exercise, diet and mood) over the next 7 weeks, and I am happy to report that whilst having fun with recipes and new snacks, and attending her classes I dropped a whole dress size for my brother in-laws wedding! Today, I still use her guidance notes and food diaries to keep me balanced and on track.

In the last month I have gone from having no exercise in my life to attending between 3 - 4 classes in a week and I feel so much better for it. I have always avoided exercise because of many different reasons, one of which being that I was embarrassed that I was so unfit but bootcamp has proved to me that no matter what your fitness level is, by adding exercise it can only get better. I really enjoy the classes and felt encouraged from the start. All the instructors were so good and went the extra mile to make everyone feel a part of the group. The texts and e-mails of encouragement made all the difference and motivated me to keep going. I honestly feel that attending bootcamp has helped me make a positive healthy change in my life that I had not been able to succeed in doing on my own. This is the first time I've realised what a benefit regular exercise can be. I feel happier, healthier and really energised. I'm really glad I made the commitment to bootcamp and I'm looking forward to attending the next one!

I would like to say a big thank-you to all the burn it fitness team. It was really great that I won a place on the camp, thanks for that! I really enjoy all the classes and think your doing a fantastic job, the number and variety of classes is really good, I'm amazed you think up so many different classes! I find you all very supportive, motivating and are always happy to answer any of my questions. My fitness has really improved, when I started I could not manage one full press up and now I can do quite a few. I am so pleased that I joint up, thanks again guys! Sarah

I joined Burn It in March 2010 after 2 years without regular exercise and I promised myself that I would attend at least 3 classes per week. The first couple of months were tough, but I persevered. The Burn It team & other class members were invariably supportive & encouraging. My fitness slowly improved and, more importantly, I started to look forward to classes. These days Sara, Louise, Michelle and the variety of classes keep me motivated & challenged. I'm proud to say that regular exercise & Burn It are now an accepted & enjoyable part of my week.

I joined Burn it in 2010 to loose weight and tone up ready for my sister’s wedding. Now preparing for my own wedding I have taken full advantage of the serviced provided by Burn it! Sara is a fantastic personal trainer who really takes a keen interest in your progress, always pushing you to reach your potential, sometimes without you noticing. Louise and Michelle are first-class fitness instructors with a wide variety of classes and sessions to keep you interested. The team will take a real interest in your personal fitness and progress, as well as a genuine interest in your personal life, which really helps to keep you on track. Regular social events are organised with plenty of banter making the experience more enjoyable so you start to see fitness as part of your life not just a chore. This experience is defiantly something no gym or fitness group has ever managed to do for me. A 5* company!

"Hi girls Just wanted to send you both a quick email to say thank you for making me enjoy training and wanting to get fit. Having completed the half marathon on Sunday, I've realised how far I've come and I know I couldn't have done it without your help. I've gone from the girl who would rather wait half an hour for the next train than run for it to the girl who runs half marathons (still can't quite believe I can now say that - plus I must be a glutton for punishment, I've signed up for another!!) Thanks again girls. See you soon xx"

"Sara - I just want to say thanks to yourself and Michelle for your help, even though I haven't been going to every single session. Through these sessions, combined with a change in eating habits and other activities, this last 6 months or so has allowed me to achieve what I set out to do. I'm in better shape and generally feel that much fitter. I have definitely found your classes a breath of fresh air."

"I'm really enjoying the classes and training with Louise and have finally found a form of exercise that works so thanks for that initial encouragement when I spoke to you."

"I recently joined Burn It Fitness and am really glad I did. I started with personal training sessions with Sara. She’s brilliant! She challenges you, but keeps the sessions fun and varied. As a ‘beginner’, I really appreciate the tailored approach to our sessions and welcome her advice and support. I’ve joined the group classes on Blackheath. I am really impressed how the instructors can accommodate such a variety of fitness levels, while never letting it be too difficult/too easy for any one person. They know how to keep everyone motivated, and they clearly understand everyone’s personal challenges, strengths and weaknesses and encourage each individual accordingly. They take an interest in their clients and it shows.

"I've been training with Michelle for over a year now and have seen amazing results in that time. I’m working as a Police Officer and due to my role I have to be both physically and mentally fit, before I met Michelle I was two and a half stone over-weight, but after four months on Michelle’s training program (which includes an extensive nutrition plan and healthy eating advise), I lost the weight and I have never felt stronger or healthier. Michelle is passionate about fitness and Nutrition and it shows through the energy and enthusiasm she brings to every session. "If you are serious about changing your life for the better, Michelle will lead you every step of the way with a combination of better eating habits adjusted to your goals, and personalised exercise programmes". Thank you Michelle, you are the best!"

“I started attending the Burnit classes in January this year and I am so glad I did! All of the instructors are brilliant and I can’t speak highly enough of them. I try to attend at least four classes a week and I am delighted with the results so far. I would thoroughly recommend these exercise sessions to anyone!”

I had never considered a PT as always felt it was too expensive but as Sara's training is outdoors you save on gym overheads (and gain a tan). Sara is brilliant. She is really knowledgeable and completely tailors each and every season to what your specific needs are, She pushes you, but never orders you. She is inspiring and makes me want to be fit. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Thankyou Sara !"

I'd seen the Burn It sessions on the Heath, and emailed in. I was 2.5st over weight, couldn't run to end of the road or do a single press up. Over the years I've often started various exercise/diet regimes and then given up on them within 2 months due to lack of results or loss of motivation. I wasn't expecting too much, but Sara really is different. She's excellent at gauging your limits and pushing you just beyond them. She also knows how to make you feel just guilty enough so you don't miss training! In Nov 2008 I started training 3 times a week with Sara. Within a monthmel Sara had convinced me to start running on my own, and join the group sessions. Where I met Louise - who is also lovely and runs a great circuits class. I can now run about 8 miles, I've lost 1.5st and I my body feels better than it has done in about 10 years!

I met Sara this summer (2007) and I decided to recruit her for two sessions a week....WOW! initially, she worked me beyond my expectations - I couldn't even do a press up! But, through sweat, hard work and determination, all under Sara's instruction, I shed 2.5 stone and can now do 50 press ups!! All my friends comment on how well I look, my confidence levels are at an all time high - I feel better now than I did in my 20's. My advice is don't just think about getting in shape - DO IT, imagine where you could be in 3 months....and on a personal note - Thanks Sara !

I first became a client of Burn-it in July 2007 and got into a regular rhythm of working-out, shedding plenty of “middle age bulge”. But in March 2008, Sara (my original trainer) took maternity leave to have her baby daughter. But, every cloud has a silver lining. And this was proved to be true once I met with Louise in May 2008. It’s thanks to Louise that I completed a half-marathon in October 2008 (in a good time for a novice of 2:02) and am also currently training hard for the Flora London Marathon in April 2009! Louise ensures that I’m training correctly, exercising all the right muscle groups in order to prevent any injuries - we spend an hour a week running-up the hills of Greenwich park, sprinting, running backwards, cross-country etc. I now consider 10 miles to be an average run! So, from an 18 stone, beer swigging couch potato to a 14.5 stone Marathon runner. In my opinion pretty good going – and I owe it to Louise, Sara and Burn-it.

The best thing about Sara is thatvicky she's a brilliant teacher. She great at very clearly telling you how to do each exercise and really good at explaining what it's working and why it's good for you! She also strikes the right balance between giving lots of encouragement and making training good fun. Thank to Sara I feel in great shape.

Personal training sessions can get monotonous in a sweaty unfriendly gym, but training outdoors with Sara is fun and challenging. I train outside on Blackheath and in my back garden, come rain or shine and I love it! I’m seeing real results in my fitness levels and my body shape.

I started training with Sara and Louise over eighteen months ago and it’s the best decision I ever made. I now do regular exercise and actually enjoy it! anna I used to hate exercise and always felt intimated and bored by gyms and exercise classes but now nothing beats a session with Sara or circuits with Louise. I feel fit and healthy and I’ve made two great friend

I started personal training sessions with Louise earlier this year with the aim of knocking two minutes off my 10k time in a month. Louise used a mixture of speed and strength training in the hour long sessions. I always came away feeling good about what I'd managed to do and was very pleased to knock that two minutes off when race day finally arrived. This Autumn term, Louise started circuit classes at the school I work at for the staff. We train every Wednesday for an hour after school. She makes sure we work hard to the last second but have fun and motivate each other too. Every single participant saw a marked improvement in their fitness level within 10 weeks. Needless to say, Louise has been booked for the Spring (and Summer we hope) term too! With Louise's help and encouragement I started to believe I could do things I hadn't even considered before. I have since completed 3 10k races, a 10 mile race and a half marathon with training underway for the Edinburgh Marathon in 2010.

RE - GROUP CLASSES ON BLACKHEATH.... I have been involved with Louise's circuit training sessions for the last five months and they have been great. I run regularly in the week and enjoy competing in 10k races so Louise's circuit training really adds diversity to my fitness.

RE : Teacher/school staff fitness classes I like the variety - and 1 minute on each activity is great - I sometimes struggle with the weights as I have little upper body strength but its great fun trying. I really enjoy the classes Sara runs and i am feeling the benefit.

Very well organised training sessions, lots of encouragement and friendly - great fun! Laura

Sara is lovely to work with, she changes the work stations regularly to keep it varied and I like the fact that we work for 1 minute and move on.

I really enjoy the variety of the sessions. each week is different, using different equipment and exercises. Sara is very encouraging and the music isn't bad either! Thanks

I really enjoyed the bootcamp and saw not just an improvement in my shape and weight, but also in my fitness and general well being. The classes were varied and fun, although really tough at times! I feel better, look better and can't wait to do the next one!

Thanks to everyone at Burn It - i have had a great 4 weeks, felt really pushed, challenged & feel fantastic at the end of it! Met some great people & its been great fun - you can have a laugh, even when it hurts. Have signed up for the next one aleady!
