As a woman navigating the challenges of perimenopause, I found Marika’s expertise indispensable. Her programme was exquisitely tailored - not only to address my weakened pelvic floor, but also to support my energy, posture, and nutrition. The targeted strength work alongside dietary adjustments has made a massive difference to my quality of life. I now feel considerably more resilient, both physically and emotionally. Marika offers something rare: bespoke, intelligent training with a human touch. I recommend her wholeheartedly.

Working in the public sector, perks are hard to come by. But everything changed when we were given the opportunity to have personal trainer sessions after school, led by the incredible Marika. Her warmth and friendliness made our sessions truly exceptional. We had a diverse group of staff, spanning different ages, genders, and abilities. Yet Marika effortlessly tailored her approach to meet everyone’s needs.

I regularly go to the gym, but nothing compares to the physical and mental boost I felt after a session with Marika. It was also a unique chance to bond with colleagues, as working in a school often leaves little room for socialising. Her sessions were so compelling that I even went to work on my birthday, despite it being a day off, just to attend.

Though I moved jobs a year ago, I still rave about Marika’s sessions to my new colleagues, hoping to bring the same experience to my current workplace. And let’s not forget the music—if you’re a fan of 90s and early 2000s hits, Marika’s playlists will keep you motivated and smiling throughout.

I’ve been training with Marika once a week since June 2024, and it’s been an amazing experience. She tailors each session to my needs, focusing on my weak points while incorporating exercises I enjoy—like boxing to my favourite tunes- to keep things fun. Every session is different, so it never feels repetitive, and she uses a variety of equipment to keep things engaging.

I’ve noticed a real transformation in my body shape, and even my daughter has commented on how toned my arms and upper body are becoming! My clothes fit better, and I’ve been able to implement some of Marika’s nutritional advice with ease. Beyond her expertise, Marika is friendly, supportive, and incredibly flexible, always working around my busy schedule. I truly enjoy our sessions and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and motivating PT ❤️

I've been working with Marika for over a year now, love my sessions with her! Marika has such a thoughtful, professional and joyful approach to personal training. She makes sessions feel accessible to your needs and goals without being overwhelming. Through our sessions, I've tried boxing, gained confidence with lifting weights and improved my overall strength. She is always encouraging, empowering and motivating, as well as offering a wide range of exercise options and equipment to suit your needs.

Working with Marika weekly for the past year has made a massive difference to my mental and physical health: she pushes me a little bit harder every week and I can really tell the difference in my strength (and mood…!). Her sessions are super varied and tailored to my goal of ageing healthily through the peri-menopause and beyond.

I first met Marika in September 2023 when I started my journey in the gym. I wanted to get back into shape as I have severe asthma and I had been on 40mg steroids everyday for 2yrs. I came off the steroids in May 2023 and was given the all clear by the doctor to start exercising in September 2023.

I started attending Marika's classes, and I was struggling as I hadn't worked out in a long time and my lungs were not strong. Marika would always make me feel ok when I had to stop or was struggling and she told me to go at my own pace. She would workout beside me and push me in a way where I wanted to do my best.

Marika is very knowledgeable about the body and also very knowledgeable about healthy eating. I started meal prepping with Marika and she changed my perception of food for the better. 

I never knew I could have healthy tasty food which is good for me as healthy food is always perceived as boring and tasteless but with Marika she showed me how to get food that is good for me and also tasty. 

This also was a big help as I work Monday to Friday so by meal prepping I always had breakfast lunch dinner or sometimes breakfast and lunch. 

By doing this I got my children to also start eating healthy they might not eat everything but they do a lot of things. Marika has been so inspirational and has helped me so much on my journey she pushes me for the better and she's not like those other instructors who shout and scream she does it with love and really brings out the best in me. I have gone from 115kg to 86kg. I would not have been able to do this without Marika. She has taught me so much and I continue to go to her classes.  I'm so glad she's been a part of my journey. She has helped me to be consistent and I always work hard and go to the gym 3 to 4 times a week now. If you're looking to lose weight and get into a healthy lifestyle of eating then Marika is the one!

Thank you Marika for being apart of my life ❤️
