PILATES

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.

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.

Thank you Sue! I',m really enjoying ChiBall classes. It's made me feel better, eat better and be more positive in general. I look forward to my weekly class!

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 . . .

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!

Sue has been intermittently performing LD Reiki on both my husband and myself and the results have been nothing but positive. 

To put it simply, Sue and TopMarx has changed my life. Sue has helped me with both my diet and exercise and through her Keep Fit and Punchfit classes I have discovered a passion for exercise and healthy living. Sue's classes are fun, engaging and most importantly personalised. She knows her clients goals and abilities and has worked with me to achieve more than I could ever have imagined. I recommend them to anyone of any fitness level as Sue is ace at having us all feeling fit for life!

I had no idea what to expect.  It was so relaxing and peaceful.

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 cannot express enough gratitude to Sue for all she has done for me. Sue makes each person in the class feel unique and valuable.

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 had been suffering from headaches, shoulder, neck and back pain for just over a month and to ease my pain I was needing Ibuprofen to manage and get through each day (I generally avoid taking tablets). I engaged Sue to possibly help with some Reiki. As she began, I felt peaceful as she touched each part of my body where I felt pain. I slept well that night for the first time in a long time, and the next day all the symptoms had eased and I no longer had any headaches. I felt so relieved and more energised and no longer needed Ibuprofen. I highly recommend Sue for Reiki. Thank you 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've been coming for a year now and every single session is different - I don't know how she does it!" I also found ChiBall class to be beautifully soothing and full of grace.

I have never had a Reiki Session before, and Sue immediately made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. As time went by, I started to feel that Sue's gentle touch was simulataneously on many areas of my body, which was deeply relaxing and pleasant. I also felt quite a lot of warmth in my arms, which was lovely as I generally feel chilly. My feeling of calmness lasted throughout the day and I slept particularly well that night. My reason for having Reiki was to help with a health issue and I'm delighted to say that although I was informed it could take between 6 and 12 months to clear up, I'm already much improved after only a couple of months. I would highly recommend seeing Sue for her professional, intuitive and positive approach.

I am a client of Sue's and have no hesitation in recommending her. Sue has given me the motivation and commitment I need to achieve my fitness goals. Attending a weekly session with Sue keeps me on track and focussed to do other fitness work on my own. She is friendly, approachable and passionate. Her professional knowledge and dedication to me is very reassuring and Sue always makes a positive difference to my day.

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. Lisa T. St Ives

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!

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!

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! Susie D. St Ives

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 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 so much for doing online classes for us Sue -  it really helps during lockdown on a deep level to maintain this connection. I am really enjoying the classes too - they are different again and you are a very engaging presenter who makes the class fun and interactive but still huffy puffy!

9 months later after her first half marathon . . . Thanks so much for being there on the journey with me. All your encouragements and help were vital to me very successful and enjoyable first half marathon!

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'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.
