Fitness at TopMarx is fun and a great thing to do after a long day at school.  It gets me motivated to keep healthy and fit.  TopMarx has given me an opportunity to socialise with friends that also come as well.

I've found ChiBall to be a delightful class - wonderful outdoor exercises (weather permitting!) followed by deep relaxation techniques. I just float out afterwards with such a great feeling of calm and happiness.

I am very happy to have come across Top Marx. Sue has a very keen sense of where everyone is at in their fitness. Sue is attentive to our safety and exercise form. She cares about incidental things that may be going on in our lives, such as hectic work schedule, and offers strategies in staying healthy and focused. I also really enjoy the comradery of the circuit and Chiball classes I attend. I consider Top Marx an integral part of my personal and professional health.

I have enjoyed my Pilates sessions and have really got a lot out of them. It was nice to do something for myself each week and it felt good to be choosing something that would make me strong and healthy. Thank you.

I have had chronic lower back pain for a number of years now and I was amazed, after attending my first ChiBall class with Sue recently, that for the first time in a long time the pain in my lower back seems to have disappeared – despite lifting my young 2 year-old granddaughter. Sue is a very inspiring, thoughtful and caring Personal Trainer who is always looking for the best way for the people in her class to fulfil their fitness goals. I also attend the Circuit Training classes and find them excellent. Thanks Sue for your ongoing support and encouragement!! I look forward to doing more ChiBall and Cross Training classes with Sue and continuing to improve my flexibility, strength and fitness.

I always feel energised after a PunchFit class. A group class but it feels like your own personal training session. Sue checks individual techniques and suggests improvements. (Unlike another fitness club I trialled, I was not even asked if I had boxed before).

I initially booked Reiki with Sue Marx to increase my general energy levels, lift my mood and help my body heal after cancer treatment. The Reiki treatment sessions were amazing. I was surprised by how my body reacted with lots of involuntary limb movements while the energy moved through. I came away feeling energised and everything around me seemed so much clearer. I was relaxed and felt able to cope with anything. Thanks Sue.

I love that I feel in better health and physically stronger than I have in many, many years. I continue to be motivated to attend Sue's classes, as a client for over 18 months, as the classes also focus on the journey, as opposed to focusing solely on an 'outcome'. The joy that I gain from Sue's classes are about the small steps in the journey to becoming a healthier self.

Sue is a Godsend. Not only am I now exercising after a lapse of 15 years or more, but I am actually enjoying it. I am spreading Sue's virtues to whoever will listen. In the few sessions I have done, the classes have all been slightly different and I've lost 1.5kg which I have been battling to do for too long. Thanks Sue

I have thoroughly enjoyed being part of Sue’s circuit classes for over 5 years. Previously I had not been keen to join a gym environment but I find her home setting and with Sue’s gentle and knowledgeable coaching, it has been very enjoyable. Sue is always studying further and doing courses to further her knowledge in all aspects of health and fitness. She treats each person individually regarding previous injury, fitness level and what they are comfortable with, adjusting the program as needed. The equipment and environment are clean and comfortable and the small group company is friendly and fun. I have found it a good balance of cardio/toning & strengthening of core. Sue has always been willing to share advice or follow up on any concerns or with extra information by email outside of class. She has always been very flexible and concerned for the well-being of each client.

I have been coming to Sue’s studio for a couple of years now.  I cannot express enough gratitude to Sue for all she has done for me.  I have attended Personal Training, ChiBall, Fire ChiBall Yoga and Pilates classes (in different combinations over the years).  Sue makes each person in the class feel unique and valuable.  She inspires and encourages just by the way she is.  I feel stronger and fitter than I have in decades.  I hear Sue’s words echoing in my head each day as I go along my business (exercise or daily challenges): "I am strong!" Yes, I am strong Sue.  Inside and out.  Thanks to you!!

Although I had run a number of marathons as well as swimming and cycling regularly, I had never been trained professionally. Since starting with TopMarx, the targeting training is definitely improving my all round fitness levels. In addition, Sue is very aware of a number of chronic injuries that I am carrying and therefore tailors the session to maximise my output, whilst avoiding aggravating problem areas. I would highly recommend TopMarx personal training to anyone who wishes to achieve a goal (or just to stay fit and healthy).

I have had the great pleasure and good fortune to be able to attend Sue’s circuit classes, chi ball classes, punch fit classes and to have Sue guide me on my journey for a healthier version of myself as my personal trainer.  Sue is an inspirational, thoughtful and dedicated trainer whom I hold in the highest regard and gladly recommend.  Words do little justice to describe the positive impact Sue has had on the quality of my life.  Whether you just want to feel better or have a specific training goal in mind, Sue’s professional, caring, supportive, knowledgeable and committed approach empowers you to realise your personal health and fitness goals and to have a lot of fun along the way.  Thank you Sue!

I recently attended one of Sue's ChiBall classes and thoroughly enjoyed the different type of exercise and look forward to doing another soon. The mixture of dance like movement, yoga and meditation makes you feel great and like you could cope with anything. Definitely a class to do if you have finally decided to find some 'Me' time!

I regularly attend Sue's circuit classes and occasionally I top it up with a ChiBall class. Last week whilst at home, I pulled a muscle in my back. This pain combined with the difficulty I was having with associated breathing difficulty was giving me every excuse to stay at home and miss the ChiBall class that night. I only went along becasue my teen daughter was insisting we go, but I'm so glad I went along with her - by the end of the class not only was I feeling wonderfully relaxed, but my pain had gone completely! I was really surprised as I wasn't expecting the ChiBall class to have that effect as I was just hoping to loosen up. So to be pain free afterwards, go home to have a deep sleep that night, plus also feel fabulous the following day was a great bonus. Thanks Sue!

I expected the Reiki session to be relaxing, which it definitely was, but I also had some amazing results within the first week - sleeping better, feeling more relaxed and this morning I woke feeling really positive feelings about the future. Most importantly the health issue I was struggling with has completely ceased. All this after one session!! Thank you so much for being such a kind, generous and intuitive Reiki practitioner. Deb

Sue is an amazing Personal Trainer and her home Studio environment is just perfect for those who want to avoid cold and noisy gyms.

Sue is nurturing and one of the most caring persons I know and when we train, she attends to each and every need.  Everything is tailored and fun, and the sessions go so fast.  The sessions are holistic as Sue draws on her knowledge and experience in all sorts of areas, to suit the need of the moment, from nutrition, tai-chi, pilates, boxing and of course all traditional gym equipment and exercises.

Sue's group sessions are also fantastic, a good workout and fun. I would recommend  TopMarx Studio to anyone.

I finished up one of Sue's Punchfit classes determined to become fitter and build up more stamina. With such an intense class - I was expecting the next day to be filled with the usual groans and muscle fatigue. But i was lucky enough to spend some time with Sue after the class, and she introduced me to ChiBall. Sceptical about immediate results, I looked to the next hour with optimism. The results of the ChiBall session were instant. Throughout the hour - and what felt like twenty minutes - I experienced an intense calmness as Sue walked me through some breathing and posture exercises designed using the ChiBall. I left TopMarx Training with an incredible amount fo energy adn peace. With all honesty - the next day began with such a freshness that I had not felt in years. I know that I had been eating healthy and exercising regularly for some time - and I thought that I was feeling as good as my body would allow. I discovered that with Sue and TopMarx Training, I really could feel much better for life. ChiBall is now a regular part of my exercise routine.
