“Charlene has been my personal trainer for 8 years and during that time she has inspired me to transform my physical health and my personal wellbeing.  Her broad range of qualifications, experience and skills and her empathetic and engaging personality make Charlene an excellent personal trainer for anybody.  All these qualities are supremely important to me as a woman in my 70s because I know I can trust her to tailor our sessions to my needs, so that they challenge me without being over demanding. As I get my aerobic exercise through regular brisk walks, Charlene and I agreed the objectives of our sessions would be significantly improved posture, increased flexibility, balance, and muscle strength.  I am amazed at the progress I’ve made.  Today I stand straighter than I ever have in my adult life, I am much more flexible than most women of my age and my reflexes and my balance are so much stronger. A special feature of Charlene’s approach is her flexibility and the way she adapts the exercises to respond to my likes and dislikes. For example, I am not fond of floor, so Charlene converts them so I can do them standing up.  Indeed, she has even attended courses to extend her repertoire of standing Pilates exercises.”
