“I honestly can not put into words how grateful I am to Donna for my body transformation. I have attended the gym regularly for years but have always silently battled with body confidence & remained critical of my development. Within weeks of this lady's classes I was leaner, stronger & fitter than I've ever been. Her level of power, strength & enthusiasm, coupled with her pure professionalism & knowledge is infectious, making her classes an absolute must for me week after week. I genuinely look forward to each & every one! I think anyone should aspire to be the best version of themselves and with Donnas help, I'm well on my way to feeling & being in the best shape of my life. You're missing out if you're not involved, this lady is an absolute diamond & I can't thank her enough. ”

“I have been on a weight gain journey for a couple of years and this has warranted me to work with several trainers. However, I was lucky enough to meet Donna who in a short span of time shifted my understanding of workout to be more expansive. Donna, especially during this pandemic, has boosted my realization of just how much I can do with my own body weight. I feel great and I'm also more than energized to continue this fitness journey with you"

“After starting my weight loss journey in 2017, and being too terrified to even set foot in a gym, I finally plucked up the courage to join my local gym. I moved my way through many trainers, and tried many different styles of training. I thought I knew what I was doing until I started training with Donna online. I can't believe the difference in my own confidence, and the shape of my body, my stamina and endurance in just a short 3 months. Donna has a unique way of making you feel like you are so strong, and doing amazing things even when you feel like you are not! She really puts her heart and soul into every session, and the care she has for each and every client she works with, is something I haven't found in any other trainer I've come across. I have been able to improve upon my strengths to get stronger, and work hard on my weaknesses to come on leaps and bounds. I am so pleased I started training with Donna. She manages to pull stuff out of me, that I didn't even know I had in me. Thanks to Donna I can now push myself miles further than I ever was before and I ever thought I could. ”

“With a heavy travel schedule maintaining fitness became a problem. Just how much of an issue I discovered at my first session with Donna. Half way through I never wanted to see her again but thankfully she talked through the problem (me) and 18 months later I can attest to the fact that she is the best.
Donna tailored a programme, hard work yes but fun, at least for her as I flailed about on the floor. Due to Donna's tailored approach I am now fitter, have some shape and stronger.
If the truth be known I actually enjoy my training now. I was so impressed that I got Donna to take sessions for my staff. ”

“Donna is a fantastic PT and class instructor; she always turns up with a smile and prepares each session meticulously in advance. Time always passed seamlessly and I enjoyed every minute. I’ve recently moved abroad and miss training with her - the gym just isn’t the same without her!”
Randal
“I have been taking classes from Donna for about 1 and 1/2 years. She has been the instructor in numerous body core classes and she is a true inspiration! I do a class with her called Hit n Run two times per week and it is such a challenge but , oh so worthwhile! Donna changes the basic elements we work on for each class which keeps it very interesting! I have worked out for many years however now find myself in the best physical condition ever ( Donna has been a big part of these results) She looks great , body perfect , form perfect ! Donna is the total package you seek as an instructor!”
Emeline
“When I joined to become a member of the gym I was confused and intimidated and didn't really know where or how to begin. Since I met Donna, I have enjoyed every moment at the gym. She has a diverse range of classes with different sets of exercises that are always exiting and challenging. She continues to find ways to get more out of me even when I'm ready to give up. She pushes me to my limits and helps me achieve results. All of our sessions are intense but I am always looking forward to the next one.”
Andrea
“Donna's hiit classes are paramount to anyone like myself striving to not only appear leaner but move wth athleticism. Donna's boundless energy, determination and drive motivates everyone to dig deeper, to jump higher, sprint faster and gain explosive strength.
Spend time on a boring cardio machine? No thanks, rather benefit from Donna's creativity and highly positive presence. She's everything we need to keep smashing through goals with a fighting spirit.
In just 4 weeks of two classes weekly, I entered a recent race feeling lean and mean thanks to Donna's hiit & run classes.
Donna kills with kindness but leaves you returning stronger for more! ”
Gareth
“I love Donna's HIIT classes, they are always challenging and well planned. I like the intensity and Donna encourages us to push the limits with a deadly smile. The HIIT class has been a great part of my marathon training. That extra push gets results!”
Eleanor Clegg
“Donna has got to be one of the most motivated and upbeat people I have ever met. She has made the gym fun! Her enthusiasm and drive to want you to achieve your goals is encouraging and she pushes you to your limits in order to achieve them. The routines and exercises are changed up on a regular basis in order to keep the training varied yet challenging. I am amazed at what I can lift, squat, push and press in the short time we have trained together! I look forward to everyday that I train with Donna and the changes that i've seen to my body in 6 months are something that I thought I would never be able to achieve!”
Rudi O'Keefe

Mick Gibbens
“Donna's classes are never boring they are different every week and always make you push yourself. You go at your own pace & ability. I definitely noticed a big change in my fitness and leg strength after a a few weeks.”

“Donna's positive energy and enthusiasm make her sessions really fun! She adds a dynamism and creativity to each session that, though initially intimidating, challenges us to push beyond our physical boundaries and discover new abilities. Her athleticism and strength are an inspiration to improve all aspects of my physical capacity. Thanks Donna!”
Colin Sheehan
“Donna is a really inspiring PT, constantly pushing you to do your best and hit that next marker! I don’t have a great track record with the gym, but Donna’s classes have made me look at things differently, meaning I’m now at a point where I understand the real value of exercise and am, for once, really keen to continue and see what she can make me do next!”

Hugo Bronstein
“Ive been going to Donna's group class for the last couple of months. She is absolutely fantastic. She really pushes you past your limits and you get an amazing work out. She is really encouraging and helpful and always makes sure you are doing the exercises with good form. She always puts together a diverse, interesting and challenging set of exercises that are really good fun to do and the result is that I am now stronger and fitter than I was before.”
Margaret Durbal
“I have been training with Donna in her weight training classes for over a year now. I also have personal training sessions. My primary goal was to increase strength using various weight lifting exercises.
I have quickly benefited from Donna's sessions, seeing an increase in strength that I had been unable to achieve on my own in the gym.
Donna's sessions are tailored specifically to me and she keeps track of my progress. I have learnt so much from Donna; she is willing to share her expert knowledge, is encouraging and answers my questions. If you follow her advice, you will see incredible results in your body and mental well being.
Donna is an exceptional trainer. She is energetic, disciplined and inspirational. The sessions are tough but enjoyable! I would highly recommend Donna to anyone, whatever your fitness goals and levels of fitness.”

“I've been on lockdown for some 8 weeks or so now with no gym been feeling very, very lazy and sluggish . I started doing the workouts with Donna on zoom. I knew her when she at jubilee hall and at jubilee hall she was terrifying . She was always getting me to join a class I said no no but being on lockdown I‘ve now started and after every single workout I'm collapsed on the floor exhausted. She puts me through my paces and then some.”
