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 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!!

Sue is fabulous! The fact that we have a lot in common running a household of five (mainly boys) and being passionate about fitness and health is only the beginning. She sets me up for the week, keeps me motivated and best of all tells me what to do! She also has lots of faith and is always positive and happy. Thank goodness for our weekly sessions! 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.

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 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!

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 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.

Recently my husband was admitted to hospital with a florid septis in his blood which attacked his heart and eventually shut down his kidneys.  He was a very sick man and I was told he may not pull through.  He was admitted on 09 Dec and on 22 Dec Sue Marx offered to do some long distance Reiki.  Up until this point we had not had any good days in relation to my husband. Sue performed the Reiki that evening and this is the text I received from my husband the next morning -

"My night I am happy to say was very good.  I slept deeply for 3.5 hours, got up for 2 hours and went back to bed and slept deeply until 6.45am.  My catheter has now been removed and my Blood Sugars are in the normal range.  All the blood cultures are negative."

What more can I say?!  Sue has been intermittently performing LD Reiki on both my husband and myself and the results have been nothing but positive.  For those that may be sceptical I (we) urge you to open your mind and heart and try it.  I can't recommend Sue highly enough, thank you Sue.

After my first evening ChiBall class I had the best sleep I've had in a couple of years. I found the class to be totally relaxing and rewarding. It went beyond a good night's sleep as the following day I felt extra energised, centred and ready to take on the world. I look forward to feeling the benefits of my weekly ChiBall class - thanks for sharing it with us 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 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 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

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 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!

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.

Sue, thank you for your faith in me and encouragement these past two months. You have helped me believe this new world of exercise could have a space in it for me. One year later ...

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.
