"A Breath of Fresh Air" - training in the Park! “I tried it and it has been a very good experience - nothing daunting: just you, the trainer, the fresh air, the natural surrounds and the friendly birds chirping.  The exercises catered to my ability and I was able to perform without any difficulty whatsoever.  Even managed to run round the track which I started with much apprehension … [Read more...]

“My initial response to taking on the PT in the Park was to boost the work that I have found to be so beneficial with my pilates and I found my sessions with Anna more than enjoyable. I even surprised myself at how much fun I was having,  and had quite a laugh at myself with boxing gloves.  Working outside in the fresh air is most rewarding. I even put aside my inhibitions at doing this in … [Read more...]
