​The best thing about personal training, for me, has been the one-to-one support and guidance that I have received with Inspirational Fitness. I think it’s especially useful if you’re a bit shy about your shape or lack of fitness, as you can work to your own level. My training hasn’t

As a runner my legs get very sore and achey, particularly after a race, having a monthly sports massage with Petra has helped to improve the condition of my legs and makes them feel wonderful again. Petra also treats my whole body, which helps to keep me in tip top shape.  Do not hesi

Bootcamp gave a great confident image to others but was starting to struggle with keeping it up. Heard about the reputation of the all or nothing bootcamp style. Took a deep breath and dived in. Petra is very supportive and understanding of personal issues but will kick your ass if yo
