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!!

I have been going to Sue's classes for over a year and I have been really pleased with my progress. The classes have helped with my other sports as they been focussing on strengthening my core. Sue brings great variety to the sessions from boxing to cardio to weight training. Every session is different and I always leave the class feeling that I have had a great workout.

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 have been doing a weekly circuit class with Sue for around 7 months now and am still really enjoying it.I love that the class is different every week and the way Sue tailors every exercise to suit the individual. I took part in one of her Punchfit classes and thoroughly enjoyed that too - I was surprised how aerobic it was. I am feeling much fitter and stronger and have lost kilos and centimetres that just wouldn't budge before. Thanks Sue!

Thank you Sue! You are one of life’s true treasures! You are such a gentle, thoughtful and sensitive teacher with a wonderful sense of humour and a joy to be around!
I used to hate exercise before I came to you! I’ve tried other gyms hoping no one would notice me down the back feeling like a total clutz!!

My experience in your ChiBall Class, Pilates Class and Friday exercise classes have ALL been so positive.
Thank you!

Sue, St Ives

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.

Phillip, St Ives

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.

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 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 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).

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!

Thank you Sue, for the wonderful Reiki Session.  I had no idea what to expect.  It was so relaxing and peaceful.  And even though my eyes were closed I was so aware of the serene environment overlooking the trees, hearing the birds, and the lovely smells of incense.  The perfect package.  I would highly recommend you to anyone considering trying this practice.  Thank you so much.

It's easy to make up excuses not to exercise but training with Sue makes that unnecessary. Her group sessions are dynamic and fun, whether with people you know or with people you soon get to know. We work hard but have a laugh too. I have trained with Sue for six months in a group circuit class, in which she always ensures we are exercising to our capabilities as well as toward our individual goals. She's always found an alternative exercise when I have to confess to yet another injury or sore spot. I highly recommend Sue's group exercise sessions and look forward to continuing to work out with Sue.

I was suffering from a migraine when Sue performed Reiki. I fell asleep afterwards and awoke with the migraine gone. I believe the Reiki contributed to cutting the intensity and length of the migraine. I also did not feel totally washed out the next day. You will immediately relax in Sue’s hands as you feel her caring and competent energy. If you are considering Reiki then I highly recommend 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.

I have been attending Sue’s TopMarx Teen Circuit classes for about 4 years now and they have become a part of my lifestyle now!  Sue always makes fitness a positive experience each week I go and I have learnt so much from her passion on having a healthy balanced lifestyle.  The classes Sue runs are very fun, but at the same time you are exercising which makes it perfect!  I am so grateful for TopMarx because it has made me have a more healthy, positive approach to exercise, and after each class I have with Sue, I come out feeling de-stressed, refreshed and 100% happier!! Thank you so much Sue keep up the amazing work!

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.

Warwick, St Ives

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).
