Find out what others think of training with Bodybrokers

I'd not used a personal trainer before, so I wasn't really sure what to expect; I think I ended up with someone a little out of the ordinary!  

It's great to actually look forward to a bit of exercise after yet another long day at work, and I owe that particular phenomenon to Jess.   Gym verses Pub; the odds really aren't stacked in her favour

Not that I'm a good judge, but she really seems to know her stuff.   Over the last few months she has systematically worked on my heart and lungs, all round body tone, and is now into targeting specific muscle groups   - the ones I didn't realise I had because I literally didn't have them!   I just turn up, switch off my brain and do as I'm told, safe in the knowledge that I'm not going to damage anything whilst still being pushed hard enough to see results.

It's not an easy ride, but Jess does vary everything we do to keep it interesting and fit with the mood; if it's a nice evening we'll go out for a jog or cycle, if I'm stressed out we'll put on the gloves and box until I'm laughing.

I'm a lot fitter, feeling a lot better and I have another stress relief other than the pub.   I also now know my way around a gym, but I must admit I much prefer training with Jess!

I have been training with Jessica for about a year and a half and it's been great!

We initially met monthly but now we are meeting weekly.

I've joined gyms in the past but never really had the motivation to stick to it long term - often getting bored or in a routine which quickly ceases to be challenging. I hadn't considered a trainer before but Jessica has been motivating and inspiring. She keeps things fresh and focused. A real advantage is that she tailors programmes to your specific needs ( e.g. I have neck and back problems but high cardiovascular fitness so we focus on strength, toning and core stability). Jessica's combination of being dynamic yet flexible and creative means that she gets more out of me than I can get out of myself! Essentially, I feel pushed but not at risk of injury.

We mix weights with cardio, boxing and pilates - it's never boring! I find boxing particularly exciting since it develops strength, focused concentration and gives me a real high. Jessica has a range of kit which helps to stretch my physical abilities and keep things varied.

On a practical note, Jessica is punctual, reliable and flexible with times and locations - she'll see you where you want which is very convenient. On a personal note, she's easy going and fun - she makes the session pass quickly and enjoyably! I feel I can be honest about my limitations and how much I've done (or not done) between sessions. I would recommend her highly and have done.

3 years ago I joined a gym and made all the usual promises to myself. 30 months later, having never darkened its doors, I received a call from Jessica, out of the blue, telling me that I had spent a lot of money on my membership, had requested a personal trainer at the outset, and “Here I am.” I was trapped and arranged an appointment.

During the following 6 months my regime changed. I see Jess 2 or 3 times a week and whilst I don’t necessarily look forward to my sessions with glee I have to admit that I almost enjoy them.

During that period my fitness and strength have improved markedly; body fat has been transformed into muscle, to some extent at least, and in the process I have kicked my 30-a-day habit.

All in all, a great change for the better.

And Jessica’s secret? She makes it fun. It’s not boot camp but a partnership where I might put in most of the effort but where I receive encouragement throughout.

And it works, take my word for it.

Life as an athlete can be tough and the opportunity to run fast, jump higher and throw further is neither near nor far! You would assume that as an athlete why would I need a personal trainer or to be precise why Jessica Kreimeyer…. I will tell you it is to enhance the natural strength that I have, to propel the core strength and to achieve to the best of my ability. Jessica’s constant drive and enthusiasm enables me to work harder to constantly seek the best, to overcome the barriers and believe in myself! With her articulate planning and innate knowledge I am reaping the benefits. Sessions are structured to how Jessica knows and understands how my body works which is optimally what I need. She presents consistent dedication with clear and concise feedback. Jessica Kreimeyer is my ingredient to produce the fantastic recipe of success!
